About Bright Memory
✦ AI summary
Blast through a gorgeous sci-fi fantasy world as elite agent Shelia, combining FPS gunplay with stylish melee combos and supernatural abilities to fight reanimated enemies on a mysterious floating island. Created solo by one developer, this lightning-fast action experience uniquely fuses first-person shooter mechanics with character action game depth, all wrapped in stunning Unreal Engine 4 visuals blending science fiction with Chinese mythology.
Bright Memory is a lightning-fast fusion of the FPS and action genres, created by one-man development studio FYQD using Unreal Engine. Combine a wide variety of skills and abilities to unleash dazzling combo attacks. SRO (Supernatural Science Research Organization) agent Shelia's adventure is about to begin.
This game depicts the maiden adventure of a woman named Shelia in the year 2020.
The 1000-year-old relic swords known as "Kanshou and Bakuya", discovered through SRO research, have been found to comprise a unique multilayered structure, containing a mysterious substance in their cores. This substance, known as the "Soul of Jiu Xuan", possesses the ability to reanimate the dead. In an attempt to take possession of the substance, the "SAI" - a massive terrorist organization controlling its own army - has used a cutting-edge piece of technology known as a "Quantum Transporter" to infiltrate the SRO research facility and steal top-secret and incredibly dangerous data. To make matters worse, while attempting to calibrate coordinates on the Quantum Transporter, Shelia mistakenly activates the device, immediately transporting everyone in the vicinity to the Floating Island - an airborne continent near the North Pole, undisturbed in its slumber for over 1000 years. It is soon discovered that the various beasts and corpses of those who once populated the island have been reanimated by the "Soul of Jiu Xuan", and they're coming for Shelia...

quite short. a literally paid tech demo. You can finish the game during lunch break and still has enough time to smoke. Gameplay a first person shooter with DMC style of combat. Its good Still Not recommended2 found this helpful
Good shooting, decent hack 'n' slash, and great graphics, but that's it. The story/universe is a mess, and I could not make any cohesion. Just stfu and shoot stuff, I guess. Runs like a dream, takes around 30 minutes to complete and is basically a prologue to Bright Memory: Infinite. Impressive for a single dev, for sure.1 found this helpful
Game itself is really bad. Bugs, issues, DX12 but looks like DX9? Seriously, dont buy this game.
What an amazing blast of nostalgia! This is a technically impressive mini-game, a sort of tech demo for Bright Memory: infinite, that smacks of the mid to late-2000s linear fps game. The mechanics has elements of both Titanfall and the new Doom games, and gunplay is amazing. The developer have kept inventory minimum -- you get three guns and a sword -- and have not tried to pretend that this game has some amazing deep lore. Rather they have made gameplay take the centerstage, and boy for a single-person developed game it is outstanding. If you are planning on playing on Linux, like me, you should use Proton-CatchyOS (I use the latest version through ProtonPlus, because it auto-updates to the latest release), and opt for DX12. Sometimes the game freezes, but you can use ALT-TAB to get out of these. The freezes do not affect DX11 version, but I found the DX11 version to performs significantly worse on average.
Great presentation, but why demo-length?
5/10
