Sacred Fire: A Role Playing Game

More than ten years in development and all you've got is static cinematics, quiet reading, almost no personalization for the character and the game is not even finished. Where are your work ethics?

If this game were longer. with more fighting it would be in my top 5 videos games. I love this game. but I want moar... and unfortunately it isn't long enough for me. Still a great game though.

Its a good little story. (In the current state only up to ACT2) A game where choices actually matter. Characters can be killed off and the decisions and influences they may have in the latter parts of the story go right along with them. I haven't noticed if they are replaced with generic "fill-ins" to help direct their absence but so far, it doesn't. If they die, they die and the story just continues on without them. While there are really only a handful of characters that seem to be able to die off or simply abandoned to their fate - said fate can alter how the story plays out in some way shape or form. I understand it is a pretty big undertaking to account for every character, but it would be nice if said characters actually played more of an integral part throughout the story instead of just being ... side characters. Overall though, the story is pretty good so far and the way the choices and actions plays out is nicely done.

Death is permanent and more common than I expected. The percentages aren't really accurate. I have failed 12 times in a row on a 43% chance of success check. It was required to make that roll in order to prevent game over, or I would have never bothered. That was followed by a 5% for good result, or 70% roll for bad result check. I would cheat this normally. In general, the story is interesting, but the mechanics need some tweaking. I have been playing on normal difficulty. More recommended than not recommended.

I don't typically play visual novels but my pc broke and I'm stuck playing what my laptop can handle. This game while unfinished is surprisingly good. I do have some complaints like forcing a dice roll for the most simple things gets annoying. The overall choice and consequence system is great and the story is solid and it's not overly priced, I'd recommend it as long as you go into it knowing it's an incomplete game.

Good game!
