Child of Light part 2

The story has continue and what a story it is! At the same time it is touching, at time I would like to cry a bit but still it is full of hope. So good, so very good! I know that this game isn't open world where you can do all kind of things but at times it is so nice to follow good straighforward story and solve puzzles during it.

First you begin with few skills.

Every time you get level, you can get one new skill.
And all the skills are well explained.

On higher levels you have more options.
At first I was confused with the levelling system but after few levels I realised how it works. Every party member has three skill trees what leads to different kind of skills.  Everytime you reach a level you can pick one of the skills so improving one of the skill pathes. Every skill os explained and at times they give you more health when other times you gain new battle skills or improve the old ones. Simple and effective system. The longer I used it, I started to like it more.

Always getting some when gaining level.

All the party member gains exp even they are not fighting.

Oculis are usefull in many ways.
You can add oculis either to weapone or armor.

You also got more HP and defense and attack bonuses automatically when you levelled up which was informed after gaining levels. And of course you had to fight to gain levels.. playing story further didn't grant you more than good knowledge. Another interesting detail in Child of Light are oculis. You can craft them, combine them to creat even better ones and having new colours.. and each colour and each different kind of oculi has different skill. And it even depended if you added oculi to your armor or weapon. So.. That way all the characters can be even more unique. And that makes it more fascinating.

These small puzzles were cute add to a game.

Every scene is so detailed and well made. Piece of art!

The atmosphere changes during game.

Icy world  looks cold but beautiful.

What I can say? The game has gotten me.. The music is beautiful. The game itself looks stunningly awesome and you can stare the landscapes a long time only watching small details. I have to say that this game is succesfully made and I loved how it tells story of the girl. Not a flirtatious game since everything is based on friendship. So truly refreshing game among many others! So if you haven't try it, you should. At least find the music of the game and listen it.. even the music has own story to tell. And for once you're really playing a heroine, Princess Aurora. So jump in to save Lemuria!

Child of Light, Part 1

If you want to play a game where is lovely but sorrowfull music and beautifull landscapes I can name you one game immediately; Child of Light. The music in  game fits so well into the storyline which is sad but still you will find some hope when you play game further. Sad and lovely at the same time. So simply touching.


She finds her first companion.
Finding a sword.

Battles are turn-based.

Hero of the story is princess Aurora, a young girl who dies. And story begins from that. She is a girl who shows bravery when studies the wonders of the new world. During her journey she meets company who are willing to help and travel with her. And when the game goes further, companions are truly usefull ones. Of course you can also decide not to take them with you but discussions with companions gives you more information about the story and the world.

Solve small puzzles to go forward.

The landscape is absolutely stunning.

The story is well-written even straighforward.

New friends will also help in the battles.

You can travel around the beautifull land and trying to find all the hidden spots. Usually you have to solve simple puzzles to go forward but they are not nothing too difficult to solve. At times you have to find heavy thing to keep button down, activate symbols etc. Also battlesystem is good one when you just learn how it works. It is turnbased where speedness of teh character is meaningfull. You can attack using magic or weapons or simply stay on defend mode if you have no time to attack before enemy on that round. Every spell or attack has own speed so some of them are fast to make and some takes more time. Luckily at times your companions can slow attacks of the enemies so that you will be acting first. It took me some time to realise how system works but when I learnt it, it is very handy and allows you to have various tactis if enemy is bad one.

Flying is one of the neatest thing in the whole game.

Helping people improves your character as well.


There is also levelling system in game and you can improve your gears. I will post more from it on next posting what I will write about this game. Now my heroeine has reached level 16 and she has earned wings. Flying is one of the things which makes exploring even more fun! So far I have loved the game. You can't affect on the story since discussions do not offer much choices. But you can always decide if you take companions with you or not. But I would say, having them makes journeys more interesting with new dialogues and they're usefull during battles also. So for now I have only found positive sides from this game. And biggest plus is the main chracter is red-haired young girl! How many games you can name where is similar sounding heroine?
