About The Lightbringer


The Lightbringer is a poetic adventure/puzzle platformer with light combat elements, set in a beautiful world claimed by a vile corruption. Guided by your sister’s spirit, you must prevail where she could not. Cleanse the corruption, become The Lightbringer.

The world is under siege by a malicious corruption, targeting the ancient monoliths that gave power and light to these lands. As the chosen one, you have the ability to harness pure light energy from the air, energy that will aid you in cleansing the monoliths to bring back their light.

Explore, jump and fight your way through each level while gathering light motes. Every level functions like its own little world, and you’ll need to venture off the beaten path to find enough to cleanse the level’s monolith.

KEY FEATURES:

  • Old School Adventure
    The Lightbringer draws a lot of inspiration from earlier Zelda games, and is all about invoking that feeling of wanting to explore every nook and cranny.
  • Semi-isometric Gameplay
    With a rotatable camera in an isometric view, you’ll need to look at things from many different angles in order to find solutions to your obstacles. Remember: There’s often more than meets the eye…
  • A poetic journey
    Your sister’s spirit guides your entire journey, narrating the gameplay entirely in verse.
  • Hazardous Dungeons
    Explore dark dungeons full of danger. Watch out for traps, secrets and that pesky slime!

This game is... Weird to recommend It's a platformer game with some charm, the movement is nice but is not "too" nice, sometimes you die having multiple hearts just because you fell on a weird place The combat feels unfinished, and they don't explain things too well, some bosses are unfair having some bugs and hitboxes that don't correpsond The puzzles are cool, but if you are like me and want to collect everything on a level if you can, you'll find yourself repeating a lot of levels Some achievements are bugged and pop when they shouldn't, and some objects pick up can have scale issues (picking and dropping an object makes it smaller each time for example) The camera in general is quite bad, sometimes blocking the view entirely of what you want to see, and making you get damaged unfairly All of those are problems that can be allowed, it doesn't make the game a "bad experience", but it keeps it from being great The game also could have some UI improvements with buttons that don't feel unresponsive at times or easier navigation, or even having more graphical settings It's a 6.5 on a 10 scale

Good platformer game, smooth control, quite long gameplay.. The biggest cons are u need to start over the level if run out of lives and some serious bugs in chapter 4, but it's still skipable.. overally it's still worth buying

You have to die again and again to finish the game. Still Loved it.
Not recommended Jan 15, 2026
The character is busted, moves on its own when you rotate the camera. And you have to rotate the camera, it's a constant necessity jumping on 4 sided temples and also aiming your boomerang. You fall into the water and lose hearts. And then lose the level and you have to restart from the beginning with no checkpoints. There are 5 long levels that are like obstacle courses over water mixed with green dot scavenger hunt. I like it but seems unfinished. Doesn't work on deck. Listed in store as "unknown". Usually an unknown will work correctly on deck in my experience, for smaller size games. This one I started first level then got stuck floating in the air and never touched the ground, just spinning. I tried changing some settings and buttons, etc. that didn't work. The only setting you should have to change is from a mouse/keyboard to controller. For anyone who doesn't know, you can get a refund. You can play up to 2 hours, if you don't like it, go to account purchase history.

The Lightbringer is a gentle and atmospheric puzzle-platformer from Rock Square Thunder, published by Silver Lining Interactive. Rather than relying on fast reflexes or punishing combat, it frames its adventure around a world swallowed by corruption and the guiding voice of a lost sister who urges the protagonist forward. The premise is simple but effective: you are tasked with purging the land of darkness by harnessing the power of light, navigating through a series of levels that combine platforming, light combat, and environmental puzzles. What sets it apart is not the scale of its systems, but the way it attempts to blend mechanics with a poetic, almost meditative narrative tone. Each stage of the journey is designed less like a gauntlet and more like a thoughtful puzzle box. Areas are filled with switches to activate, moving platforms to ride, and hidden collectibles to seek out, all tied together with a steady rhythm that favors careful exploration over constant pressure. The game encourages you to slow down, look around, and piece together how to progress rather than racing from point A to point B. Secrets are tucked into corners for observant players, and the design reward…
