About
Nocturnal is an action game where you play as Ardeshir, a soldier of the Enduring Flame, returning to his homeland, Nahran, after many years of absence.
Following the appearance of a mysterious Mist, the island has recently fallen into chaos, and Ardeshir must wield his flaming sword and use powerful abilities to confront its mysteries and free Nahran.
Repel a dynamically generated Mist that reacts to the flames of your sword.
Carry your flames across Nahran: your blade can also ignite the environment, activate mechanisms, and even destroy creatures born from the Mist.
Defeat enemies and explore the environment to collect ash, which can be offered to Phoenix statues. You'll gain new skills and bonuses vital for your survival.
Explore a compact island offering a streamlined experience centered around a singular concept. (game length: around 3 hours)

If you love side-scrolling indie games with a beautiful art style, this might be something for you. BUT it's important to address the elephant in the room: the price. The game takes roughly 2.5–3 hours to finish and around 3 hours to 100%, which makes the €17 price tag hard to justify. The presentation is gorgeous—the way the fire and shadow effects intertwine looks fantastic—but the gameplay doesn't quite do enough to justify the asking price. A few things stood out to me: 1- Combat feels decent, but fighting groups can be frustrating. Several enemies can stun-lock you, leading to quick and often undeserved deaths. The aimbot archers dealing two damage don't help either. 2- The skill system fits the game's short length. There aren't many abilities, but that's completely okay. They all feel smooth to use and are enjoyable. 3- The world is beautiful and intriguing. There are enough secrets to encourage exploration, but exploration itself feels a bit limited. It's often impossible to tell whether dropping down leads to treasure or an instant death. A subtle visual hint—especially using the shadow mechanic—would have gone a long way. 4- My biggest issue was exploration. It was often unclear which path was the main route and which was just a small detour. Normally, that isn't a problem, but the game frequently locks doors behind you, preventing you from backtracking. As someone who likes exploring every corner before moving on, that became pretty frustrating. Despite those issues, I still had a good time. The world and story were interesting enough that I genuinely wanted to learn more, and the visuals are consistently impressive. I'd still recommend the game—but I'd also recommend waiting for a sale.
Gerçekten çok sevdim ve Nocturnal 2 yi sabırsızlıkla bekliyorum. Türkçe dil desteği olmamasına üzüldüm. Eğer Nocurnal 2 de Türkçe dil desteği olursa çok daha menmun kalırım. Yine de işin özeti gayet güzel bir oyun yaklaşık 2-3 saatlik bir oyun ve güzel. :)
Game isn't worth anything. It's my personal opinion, but I wouldn't recommend this game at all, even if it's free, it's just trash for your game library. The artstyle might be the only thing that's mid, but a bit blury, to the point you can't understand what's happening around you. Combat is clunky, platforming is absolutely horrendous, and in some places it reminds me of a game that hasn't even been playtested before release.
挺不错的免费游戏,只是后期重复度有点高
7分 燃烧刀的核心机制有点新意,地图设计也是围绕着这个基础,难得引导明显的类银,因为基本上全程都是线性箱庭。 手感只能说呃呃,还好敌人明显的出招前摇和强度弥补了这一点,整体难度不高,拿手柄都能随便打的程度。部分环节比如追逐战、过桥的配乐会让人眼前一亮,但战斗深度属于一眼看明白的水准,两小时的流程到最后已经有点审美疲劳并且感觉纯堆怪了,还好能变身火之神神乐调节一下
Great short game with beautiful visuals and amazing music fit extremely well with the whole gameplay! Worth spending a chill afternoon/night experiencing, especially when they offer it as such a low price during sales.
