Solid RPG with frustration moments.

Bound By Flame is for me one of the category Game "which plays Nice to have, but you do not."
The graphic is no longer in tune with the times, but also does not look totally ugly, would the appearance described as mixed.
The game world is not open, however, is a free, in what order you want to do the quests. It reflected mostly by predetermined routes, however, offer a few tactical options as you like to defeat his opponents. For example, you can arrive from various companies, or take the opponent by surreptitious attacks to track.
It is possible to improve its equipment. This is done by means of slots, which are present in some equipment, which you can then add specific strengths or resistances.

Sounds now once everything quite well right? So why it is enough for me after all "only" 3 stars.
This is mainly due to 2, for me really disturbing aspects:

Number 1, the level of difficulty:
There are 4 levels of difficulty. I started with Difficulty number 2, so the middle. I myself would be no longer be called gamers as casual, with the genre I am quite familiar, since I already spent for example, in Dark Souls 2 some time. Here was really a bit exaggerated for my taste. Even normal monsters are linked to difficulty number 2 absolutely Tough conspecifics and with a lot of trial and error.
Finally, the third boss I had difficulty to the easiest level, thus changing the first.
To my surprise, is itself still is in places a very big challenge.
I criticize so clearly the difficulty of the individual grades, as these appear to be inadequate.
I do not want to imagine what it is to level number 4 me it have not tried yet.

Number 2 Unfair points:
For me, one thing always has to be fulfilled: No matter how difficult a game situation arises, you always have a chance to break out of its location. This is unfortunately not always the case: in this game is often struck me that if an enemy sends you to the ground, with bumps or other, often an attack hinterherkommt, although one is still on the ground. So you have no chance to the verhindern-> unfair game situation.

I noticed also is that companion is not often follow, as they are festgebuggt somewhere.

If these mentioned negative things cleared out of the world, the game had quite a 4 star potential, but the gameplay is greatly reduced by these aspects, especially when one thinks of casual gamers, since not everyone is an experienced gamer.

My final rating is as follows: 3 stars out of 5.
