Blue Fire

Mechanics

In Blue Fire the action is shown from the third person perspective (TPP). During the game we explore the dark corners of Penumbra, jumping on the platforms (helped by the ability to run on the walls, bounce off them and make double jumps) and avoiding numerous environmental traps as well as facing hordes of enemies. Among the enemies we will find both standard opponents and much more powerful bosses. During dynamic battles, the key to success is to make rapid dodges and lead quick counter-attacks. Besides, from time to time, we encounter the passages to the Void , i.e. a distant land full of difficult terrain obstacles; getting through it is rewarded with special items that you won't find anywhere else.

The driving force behind the game are tasks commissioned by NPCs, and as we progress, we gain better equipment. New equipment in the form of swords and amulets (which provide us with various buffs) can be found on the way or purchased from traders. Moreover, as time passes, we develop our combat skills.

Technical aspects

The cartoon graphics of the Blue Fire game is maintained in a dark style intensified by subdued colors and sparing lighting.
