Blue Fire

Blue Fire - the world of Penumbra is plunged into desolation: the civilizations that once lived here were destroyed by monsters, and only ruins and temples survived. A wandering warrior finds himself in these lands with a blade and a meager set of skills. Little is known about the hero’s past, but along the way it turns out that he is still being hunted. He has a spirit that gives strength and opens up new possibilities as he progresses. Jumping, dashing, running along walls and gliding gradually form a movement system, and the platforming here is not inferior to combat. The controls are built around movement: a blow in flight, a tackle under an attack, and a dash across an abyss come naturally once you get used to the rhythm. Battles take place in real time: sword strikes, dodges and magic, which are selected for specific opponents. Powerful enemies have to be hit at their weak points, and bosses test whether the player has learned the controls. Fast movements continue in battle: rolling under an enemy's attack is a common occurrence here. Separately, there are tests in voids: short rooms where you need to go through an obstacle course within the allotted time or get to the end without any room for error. The rewards for them are new amulets and improvements. The temples are full of secrets: a passage is hidden behind bars, a chest is in a dead end, and behind a waterfall there is a staircase to the top. Collected souls and finds turn into upgrades that gradually change the way you play. Some enemies have weaknesses that are not written about anywhere, and you have to figure this out through experience. For those players who love platformers and want to get a silent, dead world instead of hints.
