Bound by Flame is an action role-playing game developed by Spiders and published by Focus Home Interactive, released in 2014 for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Windows, and Linux. The game is set in the fictional land of Vertiel, where a war rages between the Elves and Red Scribes against the immortal necromancers known as the Ice Lords and their undead empire, the Frozen Shadows. Players take on the role of an unnamed mercenary, Vulcan, a demolition specialist with the Freeborn Blades, who becomes possessed by a fiery demon during a ritual gone wrong. This possession grants Vulcan inhuman powers of strength and pyromancy, which they must use to defeat enemies and navigate the complex moral choices between embracing the demon's powers or rejecting them in favor of heroic talents. The gameplay features a deep crafting system, allowing players to create and improve equipment, including armor and weapons. Players can choose from three distinct fighting styles: the heavy-hitting Fighter, the agile Ranger with dual daggers, and the Pyromancer with devastating flame spells. Each style has its own skill tree with passive and active abilities. The game also includes a dynamic companion system, where relationships with allies can evolve into friendships, romances, or rivalries based on player actions. Critics praised the game's combat mechanics, despite some camera and control issues, noting that the fighting is enjoyable and entertaining. The game's soundtrack and the significant impact of player choices on the game's world and story were also highlighted as positives. While it received mixed reviews, with some critics comparing it unfavorably to more polished games like The Witcher, it was commended for its unique elements and playability. Bound by Flame offers multiple endings based on the player's choices, adding replay value to the game. The game has a dedicated but niche following, and while it may not be as widely recognized as some other RPGs, it remains a solid choice for fans of action RPGs looking for a unique experience with deep character customization and moral complexity.
