An action adventure game with 3D platformer elements, in which we traverse the dark land of Penumbra. In Blue Fire we explore the mysteries of the dark kingdom and face the dangers of numerous enemies, traps and field obstacles.
Blue Fire is an action adventure game, enriched with clearly outlined elements taken from 3D platform games. The game was developed by the independent Argentinean team Robi Studios and published by Graffiti Games.
Blue Fire takes us on a journey to the kingdom of Penumbra, with its glory days behind it. Though the land is sunk into darkness, it still hides many secrets and treasures. We play the role of a character who, facing numerous dangers, explores the secrets of Penumbra and helps its inhabitants.
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.
The cartoon graphics of the Blue Fire game is maintained in a dark style intensified by subdued colors and sparing lighting.

PlayStation LifeStyle: 8.5 / 10 by Alanna Lataillade
Blue Fire does not punish players for exploring their environment and that is further reinforced with the addition of side quests you can pick up along the way. Despite the difficult platforming the game does not feel overwhelming to complete, and there is always a benefit to revisiting old areas. There is always a missed breakable object or an emoting statue that was forgotten; one should not underestimate the power of emoting.
Nintendo Life: 8 / 10 by Stuart Gipp
A very pleasant and enjoyable surprise, Blue Fire is an auspicious debut from ROBI Studios. Only the performance issues, mildly sloppy combat and high difficulty are points of contention, and the latter will certainly depend on your point of view. Developed with passion and skill, this is a world you can lose yourself in that'll reward you the more you play and the better you get. It's uncompromising in its difficulty but doesn't resort to cheap tricks and "gotchas". The graphics are appealing and, crucially, clear as day. This is a fantastic experience overall, even if it isn't made up of the most original pieces. It's gameplay first and once you're traversing the infinite space of the Void stages, everything else basically just falls away.
God is a Geek: 8 / 10 by Mick Fraser
Blue Fire is an excellent adventure game with just enough flavour pinched from a variety of games across a plethora of genres and platforms.
