Great adventure, great action, solid RPG!

In action RPG Bound by Flame Developer SPIDERS, we experience the adventurous story of Vulcan, a mercenary of the Free blades. This mercenary group seems to be the last remaining glimmer of hope in the end Vertiel whose regions were completely overrun by the army of Totwandler in a 150-year war. As qausi only remaining end, battling unit hired the outdoors blades from the magic circle of the Red ways to protect them while they seek to carry out a ritual, that they look to the Dark Eisfürsten leader and summoner of the Dark Army with success, finally the to deprive of power.

Our hero Vulcan now, is one of the scheduled guards who attend the ritual, during a surprise attack of Totwandler and in all the chaos that triggers the attack, mislingt the magic ritual and something totally unexpected happens. Whatever tried to summon the Reds ways, it penetrated into Vulcan and takes a part of him in possession.

Henceforth fighting Vulcan, first confused and clueless, but later always man armed with his inner demons in the truest sense, to his remaining humanity. Because the demon wants to completely take possession of him and consume his soul. For Vulcan gets then also unknown powers and the power of fire for his fights.
It is now therefore always be weighed, one wants to follow the path of the human heroes, or are you the lure of evil gradually admits that the strength of the demon breaks through, although this is a big advantage in the fighting. The fire demon allowed namely increasingly powerful fire magic, from the weapons for kindling more damage than fiery shields towards blazing companions.
Precludes the melee with bare steel and the path of the shadow, in which the speed and hiding in the foreground.

Depending on what the player chooses, and the hero is walking, her purely visual as well as by his behavior, because attendants and other NPCs will towards him behave under circumstances entirely different when they eg recognize the translucent demon in him, hate or fear.
So also arise variable storylines and game procedures, during his tour of Vertiel.

The player is thus thrown from the beginning the same in the happenings and has barely had time to catch his breath, because until the group finally arrives in a first camp in the swamp to rest, have already made many decisions and more battles to be fought!
Move arise because even the first acquaintances and as soon Several companion available that are the heroes in his future explorations aside. Each with their own special abilities and so the player always remains the choice of whether he takes a healer, a strong melee or eg a shooter with it.
Optimal understudy one finds best out by a certain trynerror because before a mission trip or -Investigation you rarely know what exactly an expected and it may happen that you have to start the same job again, and then just take it the healer instead of a Nahkämpfers, etc.

Here then is already a feature of the game out, it's hard. Not unsolvable, there is always a way, but the so-called casual gamers need quite a few times to swallow before progressing further, because blindly storming along the paths and attack anything that comes within sight, rarely lasts longer than a few seconds of energy before. The area will always be researched carefully so do not miss a the many small hiding places that are everywhere, mostly along the way to find, and for example, can always stock up on scarce Healing Potion reserves - so that no path remains unseen and especially the lurking Creatures do not remain undetected. Often the opponents blend well with the natural background and if you are not careful there, it is reload!

After a while you become used to the environment, the control and maneuvering, so that you finally can take it with multiple opponents. This can include any time the tactical menu are called, which also brings the game briefly to a standstill. In this menu, then magic can be selected and potions are used, and moreover, the hero may at any time change its battle position. He then proceeds in close combat mode and equipped with two-handed weapon fighters or thieves sneaking like and nimble with two daggers around in his hands. Each time the fire spells are switched.

RPG Typically one can also investigate the craft, which develops as vital as the game progresses. So you can be anywhere (in hiding in loot of defeated opponents or via trade) find raw materials or buy and it prepared, for example healing or mana potions and bolts for the crossbow. However, the equipment can be improved by additional accessories (protected sword handle, better shoulder padding, etc.), representing also the same optically.
The inventory slots are plentiful, because everything is nicely sorted by groups and is accessible at any time via the very well-structured character menu.
Here you will find then entries to the quests and missions, a map (which can be directly Show in different modes in the game), the three talent trees for the fighting styles and also for the other skills, for example, the Crafting be improved.

The orders usually adapt well to the current action on even the much-loved collection orders. Everything belongs together somehow and so you rarely have the impression that you would have to do something beyond the red thread.
The main story itself is well told and almost completely set to music the speakers are all chosen class and do a good verbal acting. The atmosphere is very well supported by the story, the quests, the scenes and protagonists and you feel overall very involved in what is happening.
True lengths or boring areas there is no, apart from the occasional common difficulty. But with a little practice, succeeds also the meanest boss fight, because everyone has a certain classic sensitivity, which simply need to find out ^^ and who always nice to stay in motion, lives longer ^^.

The player's eternal confrontation with his hero OR ITS with the demon creates a great interactivity and gives the player character a useful portrait, in contrast to the otherwise pale game characters other representatives of the genre.
Graphics and sound are of very good quality and impress with the appropriate style that adapts well to the actions and the general game performance on current gaming PCs wonderful problems.

As the story now goes on and what is still everything presents is specially not reveal here, because the game is totally recommended and should definitely be bought by inclined fans of action RPGs!
