As the first game developed by Ember Lab, the team did an amazing job with Kena: Bridge of Spirit.
Needless to say, the first thing that catch up the attention of the players are the animations, on a quality level that makes you hard to belive you are playing and indie game. I can assure you, they are as beautiful as they look.
However, don’t let this make you believe Kena it’s nothing more than an animation flex, as it work perfectly even gameplay-wise. The platforming part of the game may not be advanced like classic 3D Platforms but indeed they do the work . The combat system is simple yet more challenging that you can think. Even on normal mode you can have a good amount of challenge, and on Master it can put you on a really bad time.
I would say, in a technical level Kena have some issues, probably caused by the inexperience of the team, but it’s nothing game breaking and I hope they learned a lot from developing this game.
In the story, you will follow Kena adventure as she try to follow her father steps in becoming a spirit guide. We will help the spirits in this mountain village to pass to the other side by helping them surpass their regrets and failures. A beautiful concept, yet I personally would have liked more deep in the protagonist herself, hope Ember Lab it’s keeping it for a sequel.
In any case, both if you are looking for a beautifully animated story or a challenging game, you will find a good choice in Kena: Bridge of Spirits.
