Child of Light Reviews

game wont open

2D games remind me of the earlier genre of games in arcades.

[b] Child of Light: a poetic fairy tale come to life [/b] (UA нижче) The game caught my attention with its beautiful hand-drawn art style—I really love this kind of visual. The story is simple: a little princess fights to reclaim her kingdom, taken by her stepmother and evil sisters. There are no unexpected twists, [b] but[/b] everything is told in poetic form, including dialogues. Together with the amazing voice acting, this creates a truly magical atmosphere. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of companions in battles. Each has a big skill tree, and their backstories are revealed through side quests. I didn’t expect this, and it added more depth to the game. The gameplay was also a new experience for me. I thought it was just a platformer, but actually, it’s a platformer-RPG. At the beginning, we jump a little, but soon we fly instead of jumping. The combat system was also interesting. My rating: [b] 9.2 out of 10[/b]. I recommend the game! I lowered the score a bit because of very large skill trees. Also, it’s a pity that there is no Ukrainian localization, even though Ubisoft Kyiv was involved in the development. *** Гра привернула мою увагу чарівною мальовкою — я просто обожнюю такий візуальний стиль. Сюжет доволі простий: маленька принцеса бореться за своє королівство, відібране мачухою та злими сестрами. Без сюжетних поворотів, [b] але[/b] історія подана у віршах, включно з діалогами, а чарівна озвучка створює унікальну атмосферу, яку складно передати словами. Приємним сюрпризом стало різноманіття компаньйонів для битв: у кожного є велике дерево скілів, а їхні короткі історії розкриваються через побічні квести. Не очікувала такого, і це додало грі глибини. Геймплей виявився для мене новим досвідом. Я думала, що це чистий платформер, але насправді це платформер-RPG. Стрибати довелося лише трохи на початку, а потім ми переміщаємося переважно у польоті. Бойова система теж виявилася цікавою. Оцінка: [b] 9,2 з 10[/b]. Гру рекомендую! Трохи знизила бал за надто масштабні дерева скілів. І шкода, що немає української локалізації, хоча Ubisoft Kyiv брала участь у розробці.

a very short metroidvania rpg with the classic light vs dark story. the dialogue is poetic and beautiful enough to intrigue my 4yr old daughter. the style and its art is amazing making exploration very enjoyable. the game is not very taxing on my computer(overkill with my old gtx1070) which makes this game really nice with my steamdeck as companion device. the combat is ATB(active time battle) and it does introduce some clutch moments when you put the combat speed to the lowest as you can minmax some turn economy situations with regular encounters and the boss fights are not too gimicky. not too hard but not too easy the difficulty is just right for semi casual/tryhards like me. IMO the price is worth it and on a discount it is a valued buy for sure. I finished the game without ever grinding for level ups or gear and I did all the side quests(some of them give perma stats boosts). maybe when I retire and still have a working pc I'll replay this and show my grandkids? it's a great game! Edit: I absolutely totally forgot about the BEAUTIFUL AND WELL WRITTEN MUSIC. it's not over the top but I'm a HUGE fan of its style. very majestic and epic.

IF your game crashes after startup you have too many CPU cores enabled. Google "Child of Light crashes on startup": https://steamcommunity.com/app/256290/discussions/0/3825289852129186055/ Thankfully, there's a solution! I had to "fool" the game to be able to play it, but it was way worth the initial trouble. There has been no turn-based game who intruiged me as much as this one for quite some time. There are numerous elements and mechanics, which make it a very very unique and lovely and fun experience. I will definitely (re)play new game+ at some point and I rarely do that. Give it a shot, it's one of Ubisoft's very best <3

Very charming game and artstyle, with great music as well!! Comes with a very fun twist on Active Time Battles: everyone moves along the timeline based on their Speed, and each attack has a separate casting speed. If you (or an enemy) get hit while casting, you get interrupted and set back part of the timeline. The twist is that you have a resource that can be used to slow enemies, which means battles are a mix of juggling health, mana, casting times, and using that resource to interrupt enemies to minimize the number of hits you take. The exploration and puzzles are simple but satisfying Definitely worth it on sale :3

Beautiful art and soundtrack. Gameplay is fun and not too difficult for more casual players. Easy to figure out if you're new to turn based combat. Played this game on the Playstation as a kid over and over. Years later and it still has the same magic. This game has a special place in my heart.

really good game honestly, i played on console or something but it's a lovely experience, beautiful game

Requires Ubisoft login. Ubisoft wont accept my password and is unable to reset it. shame...

One of my favorite games. Can't play it anymore because of the stupid Ubisoft connect launcher. It crashes the game upon opening.
