Fate of Fire: Kyvedy Guardiah

What a great game! There are a lot of things I want to say about this game but I will try to keep it relatively short. First I will start with saying that I heavily recommend this game to any indie rpg fan. It is super unique and is perfect for people who like to branch out and play hidden gems. Now moving on to the positives: - Very cute artstyle. The pixel art is great. Awesome usage of colours and contrast. Gives a lot of life to the characters and environments. The lighting was cool too. Dynamic and it adds a lot to the vibes of the locales. - Unique and interesting gameplay. This game has a very cool mix of action and turn based rpg. The game is for a majority an action rpg where you shoot stuff to stun them, and then walk over them to eliminate them. The turn based battles are kind of a "punishment" for if you fail to do this stun tactic. The turn based battles themselves are cool too, very fast paced and fun. Because there is no traditional leveling system, you have to be way more tactical about your battling. You can not just grind and overpower the enemies like in most rpgs - The soundtrack is just full of bangers. Lovely soundtrack. I especially love the battle them…

-New review for the Sunny update - The new turn based combat is super addicting, sending your party to fight is fun and the effects you can trigger when you win a battle are very interesting like burning your enemies on the field when you go back. With the new combat system some levels become super fun to replay, for me the "The siege of Osha" that now has Noke, Rhoa or Xavier as party members was super cool. The story is as good as it was before, good characterization, mind blowing plot twits and I think they added some new scenes and "alternative scenes". I love the new graphic style, the characters really feel like they come out of the level to fight. The game now is completely different form when I played it back then and I am very impressed for how the dev kept caring and constantly updating. I had more fun replaying this with the new updates than with many first playthrough of other rpgs.

I've recently revisited a previously-reviewed title, Fate of Fire: Kyvedy Guardiah. While the review was negative at release, it has since experienced a number of hefty updates and is much improved. Still needs a bit more love to reach potential but it's fun now. Kyvedy Guardiah is an ARPG full of lore and a simple gameplay loop but a range of different classes and mission types to play with as you explore the tower. Combat's simplistic but can be challenging. For more niche curation, follow me at: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/27440015-CSH-Picone/
