Interesting combat system, Bioware-like focus on characters and relationships
Dull and repetitive quests, Generic fantasy art, Awful close-up animation, Unwieldy interface and controls
Bound by Flame looks like a budget RPG contender, and there are some nice ideas in the combat system and the Bioware-like treatment of the side-characters. Sadly, there's just too much about it that's generic, unpolished, badly animated, poorly implement...
Unnecessarily difficult, Poor story design, Too many questionable design choices
Bound by Flame is a game that just leaves the player asking themselves “Why ?” more often than it should have. It's by no means an absolutely terrible game, but numerous design flaws and glaring mistakes on behalf of the developer will leave a bad taste...

Eigentlich klaut sich Bound by Flame alles zusammen. Ein bißchen „The Witcher“, ne Prise „Dragon Age“, ein wenig „Mass Effect“ und einen Fitzel „Gothic“ oder „Risen“ kann man hier und da auch erkennen. Das soll aber nichts Schlechtes bedeuten – Im Gegen...
Leblose Spielwelt, entfaltet sich aber nie, Zum Teil sehr unfair, Kameraprobleme, Maue deutsche Synchronisation
Bound by Flame hatte das Potenzial. Der innere Konflikt des Protagonisten weckte bei mir starkes Interesse - jedenfalls auf dem Papier. Bound by Flame macht von allem etwas, aber nichts richtig gut und gesellt sich zu den, bestenfalls, durchschnittlichen...

Bound By Flame, je n'en attendais pas véritablement grand-chose, et visiblement, il faut croire que j'ai bien fait étant donné que le titre de Spiders ne m'a à aucun moment émerveillé. Effectivement, même si j'ai apprécié les différents sorts de feu que...
