    It was an animation turned to game, boring lifeless repetitive gameplay with cute and beautiful art

    It's nice little story with pointless plot. But unfortunately controls are full fking garabage. Even a lowest mouse sense made for humans with demigod's reaction. Again i will never adjust any mouse settings in WIndows for just a game. Ok lets try controller. And everytring was fine before i get a bow. Since them game become a hell. Even a highes camera sense a slow as fk.

    But i dropped the game after i stuck on the tree without any possibility to going back, and with shooting session ahead.

    Bon jeu sympa mais qui n'a que très peu d'originalité. Gameplay basique, histoire un peu simpliste et contenu très limité. A part la mission principale y a rien.

    Aburrido hasta decir basta, la estructura narrativa es un despropósito y el gameplay es una continua muestra de carencias, demasiado simple, demasiado previsible, puzzles simplotes y aburridos y un rendimiento técnico muy mediocre para la poca potencia gráfica del título. En las 4 horas que he jugado me he encontrado además varios bugs, el mas penoso el de las escenas CGI desincronizadas yAburrido hasta decir basta, la estructura narrativa es un despropósito y el gameplay es una continua muestra de carencias, demasiado simple, demasiado previsible, puzzles simplotes y aburridos y un rendimiento técnico muy mediocre para la poca potencia gráfica del título. En las 4 horas que he jugado me he encontrado además varios bugs, el mas penoso el de las escenas CGI desincronizadas y a unos fps ridículo. Ni siquiera se entiende como un estudio dedicado a la animación ha permitido, precisamente, que el juego tenga esas animaciones tan mediocres.

    No lo recomiendo mas a que niños pequeños    … Expand

    A game that is made mostly for kids and young teens, if you like cartoon graphics with cute animals and rainbows and some silly story made for children well this game is probably for you so go and buy it. For adult gamers that are looking for something more realistic and something more serious and want a fascinating and challenging gameplay well sorry you should check elsewhere and stayA game that is made mostly for kids and young teens, if you like cartoon graphics with cute animals and rainbows and some silly story made for children well this game is probably for you so go and buy it.

    Not worth 40$, pretty mediocre overall. World design feels awful and empty, animations are pretty bad (So ironic for an animation studio) , story is meaningless , combat is boring and repetitive. On top of that i lost my savefile to a bug. Only decent thing is graphics but anyone can get good graphics nowdays with a stock engine and standard assets and makes no sense when everything elseNot worth 40$, pretty mediocre overall.

    The devs aimed too high wthout having the talent neither the resources.

    Price tag should be 15$ top.    … Expand

    For the graphics and visual style 8. For the gameplay - 1. Awfully awkward and crooked gameplay.

    You can't change the movement keys. Are you kidding me? This is unacceptable.

    Lord, and it costs 1790₽. I assign 2 points to it, the visuals in it are good, unreal engine is all that, but the models filled with such a feeling they bought from the guys who have fun with the engine, because it’s very primitive and the plot can be considered as a plus for the game, but the ori is much better at startup these two stylistic games, I will give preference to ori.

Go ahead, the bind on the keyboard is so poor that it's simply not possible to play and the whole game slides into the menu-> control. Hit the boxes horror, I saw this hack very well, you beat the boss, it’s clear that you hit 2 times hp didn’t decrease, auto attraction to the enemy is terrible, they wanted the action got nonsense, parry is a separate issue, I only blocked it 2 times during the game, how it works is a question is open, but I think the developers didn’t give a damn about everything and made a bind of 2 different functions on one key, as a result, the game mechanics are crooked because the branch with counter attacks goes to smoke and, in addition, only the shield saves and that’s it. Arenas for fights are very boring, small, and since the mechanics are destroyed in the bud, it turns into hell, they wanted dark souls, they got Provencal slops. People don’t buy the game and don’t download it, those who haven’t played like me, because this is the right decision, it makes you cute from the beginning, and then, the parkour is crooked, the combat mechanics are crooked, the arenas are terrible. 2 points and I wish the developers to quit, and not to engage in a scam and not to "create" games at all.… Expand

    The strongest feeling I got from Kena: Bridge of Spirits is that it is "eclectic". It extracts the folk culture and religious culture, and then injects them into the Disney-like art style, creating a wonderful chemical reaction that is shocking enough.

    From the very first moment till the very end of your journey, Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a heart-warming experience and a real pleasure between the visuals, puzzles and combat. Atmospheric music, beautiful lively graphics, believable heroes and cute little Rots - each little element is woven into the amazing whole that is the gaming experience provided by Kena.

    Kena: Bridge of Spirits is "to the point": visually it's a feast for the eyes and with an interesting percussion-based musical score. It's fun, thoughtful, made with care and inspiration, even if it doesn't offer anything original in its individual areas. Especially considering that this is Ember Lab's first effort, the future is bright, and we can already imagine an even better sequel.
