About First Light

PRESENTATION



This is a 2D old-school RPG in the vein of Black Home and A Plunge into Darkness.

After a devastating Plague purged most of humanity, the few who survived escaped to the underground, in an attempt to survive the disease. After a decade of living in the dark, away from the world. Bahar, and his wife Guidry, believe the Plague has ceased to be and are on the pursuit of a way out, a way back to the world they once knew.

The path is long and perilous, but they will walk it bravely so their children, Dan and Ava, can finally start living instead of just surviving.

✦ AI summary

First Light suffers from tedious, drawn-out combat that dominates the experience, with players finding battles against both regular enemies and story encounters to be time-consuming slogs made worse by repetitive maze-like level design and limited narrative payoff. While some appreciate the visible enemy encounters and the game's adherence to classic RPG conventions, most reviewers feel the repetitive gameplay loop, empty environments, and lack of compelling story progression make the experience feel like a chore rather than an engaging adventure.

Cardinal sin of an unwinnable battle to kick off the story. It's a cliche that I'm tired of. The worst part about it is that it takes forever. All of the battles take way too long. RPGmaker games are not games where the combat system is going to shine, regardless of how many resources you have to expend to make it through a trash mob or narrative fight. Just gross. The backgrounds are empty sky-space backgrounds, which is another pet peeve. If the game isn't about flying through space, don't make me fly through space. If I'm not in a sky castle, I'm not in a sky castle. Tedious =/= BrUtALaFomg!

I am happy I subscribed to this publisher. I like this game; it's very true to the genre. What I especially like is when the enemies and encounters are visible like this. I'm not a fan of the random can't see them monsters. Thank you for your efforts and for keeping your games reasonably priced.

All this game is repetitive mazes, repetitive battles, and repetitive fighting strategies. I tried to give it a chance but it couldn't give me enough of a story to continue.

you walk through a few similar labyrinths defeating enemies basically nonstop. You can find new gear and a bunch of usable items in chests but thats it. Im disappointed.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
