Both Gamespot and RPGFan have written a review of ShadowFlare, the episodic, downloadable action/RPG. The review at Gamespot is a rather devastating one, rating the game 4.1/10 and coming to this conclusion:
It's commendable that a small Japanese developer would take on the challenge of breaking into the highly competitive field of PC games. Unfortunately, Shadowflare is a completely outdated game. It attempts to improve on the sort of game formula that Blizzard helped establish with Diablo in 1996, but Blizzard itself has since refined and improved this formula with its own sequel, and similar games like Dungeon Siege have made even more improvements and additions to the formula. RPGFan, however, comes to a completely different conclusion when reviewing the second episode:
Despite the fact that Episode Two is only more of the same things that were found in the first release, I find that this extension plays well and should be enjoyable to all those who found pleasure in Episode One. While this episode will only take you to the halfway point of ShadowFlare, it should provide for several hours of quality gameplay that will be enjoyed by fans of action-RPGs. Episode Two can be downloaded from ShadowFlare’s website at http://www.shadowflare.us for the price of $15. Players must already have Episode One installed on their machines. Including the cost of the first release, the total cost of ShadowFlare has now risen to $30. Still under the average for many boxed games found in local retailers, ShadowFlare is a game worth checking out especially for those who enjoyed the first release. Their rating is 81%. | | Source: BluesNews |
