Bound by Flame is actually pretty cool, good for when you're down for some Eurojank. It feels a bit like the first Witcher game, kind of that level of jank but maybe a bit more polish overall. Way better than Mars: War Logs, which was a guilty pleasure of mine from a last year, more polished, more fun, more gameplay variety. Other than just the feel of it, the different fighting stances remind me a lot of the original Witcher, right now I can switch between a heavy two-handed sword and two quicker one-handed swords [which also allows for stealthily sneaking up on an enemy and getting in a higher damage hit to start things off] depending on how I want to tackle each encounter. And the game's tough, too, I've gotten killed several times because I got careless and let an enemy get in some quick hits on me. The dialog is fairly well written and the voice acting is a bit stiff, but serviceable and not grating. And you can play as either a male or female character, if that's something that means anything to you.
$24 might still be a bit too much for some people, but if you're looking for some Eurojank this is where you'll find it.
