Flame Keeper

Flame Keeper does not innovate much but its execution is solid. Combat is fast and fluid, even if the idea of adding shielding to increase difficulty can become a little annoying. It would have been cool for the game to do more with the idea of linking Ignis’ health to the fire camp and its lamps. And the final defense sequence for each level feels underwhelming. This is a good experience for players who are new to the action genre. Aim to complete one level during a session and carefully evaluate the best use for gathered seeds. Flame Keeper is a bit too grindy for its own good but it is easy to pick up and enjoy.
