Tales of Fire Reviews

Cool Story-Driven game, seems short but for the price it's worth it

Good game, story is interesting and the artstyle is cute 8/10

This is an incredible story driven game that tells the tale of an ant that needs to warm its companions through the winter. I loved the story and the art style! Recommend it!

Cute graphics, nice history, gameplay and great soundtrack!

Full playthrough here: https://youtu.be/azIrz4t1J7Q I really love hand drawn games. I don't think there's too many puzzles, but my goodness the platforming can be rough in spot since your sticks burn at the speed of light it definitely adds from frustration in areas. Overall it's an okay game it's incredibly short, but the achievements are easy as you get them through your play through naturally.

An interesting proposal, which has a history with a little philosophical? For now I'm just suspicious but if I find out I'll tell you a little more...

It's okay, but it's way too short and easy. The whole game took a little under 30 minutes to beat and only 2 areas in it was challenging, the rest was a breeze to get through. Because of that I personally don't recommend it.

Bought it for not even 1 Euro and I still feel robbed. If you wanna go through 30 minutes (without the near unplayable passages) of pain and time wasting, go ahead. Oh, and by the way I believe that most positive reviews are written by the developers friends... just look up the profiles and also... not even on drugs I'd tell this game has nice gameplay and a good story. Only somewhat good is the art but DON'T let yourself get fooled by it like it happened to me

Sadly, the demo makes it seem like it has more potential than it has. There's nothing inherently wrong with simple games, but the way this game iterates on its core gameplay elements is kinda poor. As a recurring example, the raindrop puzzles have "patterns" that are almost random as to when you get an opening, and between your hitbox and movement speed, it's not like you can dexterously dodge them. There's a midgame setpiece I won't spoil, but which does have a strategy to beat it, it's just that it's rather inconsistent as to whether it will work or not due to how poorly the game telegraphs what's happening. The matchstick countdown mechanic doesn't matter for most of the game, but when it does it's on an insanely tight timer with no real strategy/pathfinding involved. I can definitely imagine plenty of interesting variations on this, but as it stands, it's boring. This is honestly a painful review to write since it's clear there was love put into making the game. But it's just not a fun experience.

The drawings are beautiful, the music fits the game well, the story is very good, the game has some easy stages and some very challenging ones, the way the levels were built caught my attention because they deviated a little from the standard of platform games, in short, this game is very good, I recommend it.
