GM 56 - The Legend of Aurora

Se que lo he dicho mucho durante este mes, pero en verdad, este juego es fabuloso, no duden en jugarlo.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Jenna: The next game no needs introduction... but if I don't do it, how will you know which game I will talk about?.

Panel 2: Child of Light is a game launched for direct download for the Wii U's eShop, and other platforms, the game was developed for Ubisoft, and it tells us the story of Aurora.

Jenna: No, no that Aurora

Panel 4: Aurora is the daughter of a duke and a mysterious duchess, after the duchess dissapeared, the duke married again, but in that day of 1895, Aurora got sick and died, only to wake up in the kingdom of Lemuria, where she'll look the way to go back with her father.

Panel 5: Child of Light is a platform game with elements of RPG, in which we will control Aurora and Igniculus, a firefly that will be our best ally in this wornerful travel for the hights and deeps of Lemuria.

Panel 6: Igniculus can open coffers and to grab augments that be out of Aurora's reach, to grab wishes, heal Aurora's health, to blind enemies, while in the battles, blinding enemies will make them to reduce its speed to attack, and it heals quicker.

Panel 7: Of course, Igniculus will not be our only ally, during the game, Aurora will meet characters that will join to her, but only Aurora and Igniculus are the only ones we can control out of the battles.

Panel 8: In the coffers, Aurora will find potions, and oculi, this last are gems that can be combined to craft different gems that gives a different effect, depending if are equipped to weapons, body, or used as artifact.

Panel 9: Being part RPG, the characters will win experience, when they increase a level, will win a skill point, which can be used to activate the skill the player wants, what I think is a big point in favor of the game.

Panel 10: The battle system is very simple, our characters appears in the upper part of the bar, while the enemies in the lower part. When the icon of a characters reach the "cast" bar, we can choose the action the character will do, each action have its own casting speed, which will to determine the speed the character's icon will move until reach the final of the cast bar, that is when the character will do the action. If Igniculus is next a character, the icon of Igniculus will appear in the icon of it, that way you can blind and to reduce the speed of the attacker that you want to delay, take that in count for your combat strategy, but of course, the surprises are at the corner.

Panel 11: The controls are nothing of outer world, they are very intuitive and easy to use, to control Aurora, specially when she's flying, is fascinating, with the pain of my heart, I must say that I enjoy to control her more than to control NiGHTS in Journey of Dreams.

Panel 12: The music... ohh dear watchers, I will have not enought words to describe it, I will only say that Child of Light is the "Fantasia" of video games, the music is mainly of piano, it doesn't have tones that makes your adrenaline pumps up, but is pretty beauty, and fits perfectly.

Panel 13: But the graphics is the part that steals the claps, all the draws looks as made with watercolors, and from first plane to background, there are movement, what gives the sensation of that Lemuria is a living place, and, at least to me, it makes me wonder what can be beyond what the game allows me to play.

Jenna: Look, I know I have said in the past that graphics are not the most important in video games, and I keep it, but when the effort is put in them to give us the illusion that that world is alive, it wakes up our imagination, and it makes us want to know what is beyond, I can't do anything but to clap that effort, but it doesn't work if the game can't be enjoyed... but this game is enjoyed without problem, my only complain is that is very short, I finished it in 4 days and I stil want more, but I don't doubt that a second part is on the way... with Child of Light I not only say that you download it, but also I invite you to do fan arts, to write fan fics, use your imagination and expand yourself the world of Lemuria and the legend of Aurora, this is a game that gives a lot of material for that, and that's why I consider it one of the best games ever made... of course is not obligatory that all be in rhymes, not all we can be (insert the name of your favorite poet here)
