Scion of Fire: Trial of the Souls Ablaze

After a devastating fire destroyed the town of Nêvarme, Ogfir, a boy left orphaned, is adopted by the Spirit of Fire, who bestows upon him a blazing branch with which he can invoke the power of fire. Once he had received the blessing from his adoptive father, the boy was entrusted to tame the Children of Fire that were corrupted by the Ancient of Fire to prevent humanity from being decimated by evil fire once again. Step into one of the most sacred legends of a flame-bound civilization, where fire is the core element governing combat, exploration, and puzzles. Discover how the bond between fire and humanity has shaped their worldview and fight to bring them the justice they deserve before everything turns to cinders. Fire of Life, Fire of Death, Fire of Will Your journey will be a constant test of strength and skill, facing powerful enemies and traversing hostile environments that will push your strength and fire-wielding abilities to their limits: - Use your blazing blessing strategically in combat encounters. - Harness fire in physics-based puzzles to destroy obstacles. - Discover secrets in the map with the use of your igneous branch. - Unveil the mysteries of a nation in ashes and its former inhabitants. Rise through the Ruins Traverse the treacherous remains of your forested homeland with a metroidvania map built entirely from a hexagonal grid. Explore the 9 zones of Mûrveni and overcome their environmental trials! Throughout this entire endeavor, fire will be your greatest ally... Perhaps that might change as you progress in your quest. Strategic Combat Encounters Scattered across the lands of Mûrveni, corrupted creatures roam to kill everyone in sight. Sometimes brute force or invoking fire against them is a grave error that could end up strengthening them instead. Think thoughtfully on how to excel in every encounter by fighting strategically. Grow Stronger, Burn Brighter As the Children of Fire fall before you, their essence is consumed by your divine gift, making it hotter, wilder, and more potent, allowing you to strike stronger attacks, burn tougher obstacles, and spread fire further. This way you can also unlock new Pyric Gifts that will let you choose how fire is unleashed, allowing you to use it for different purposes. Dive into a Fervent Culture The experience of Scion of Fire is a direct manifestation of the Mûrvenite people's deep reverence for fire. Its aesthetic imbues the environment, audio, narrative, and gameplay with a sense of ancient, flaming lore, treating the visual world as a parchment marked with cinders and holy light. Fire of life, fire of death, fire of will. Which one shall you choose?
