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)

Not the longest game, but it was good enough to keep me until the end. The fire/mist mechanic is well done, and the dash to kill ability is great for expediting fights you've already won. I personally enjoy playing a game like this between larger titles. However, at the time of writing this, $17 is a little rich for what you're getting. Wait for it to go on sale.
This game is CRAZY good. I got it on sale, but honestly, it is so worth the full price, despite it's short playtime. The gameplay is engaging, the atmosphere and sound design are perfect, and the story really hit me in the feels. I don't often write reviews, but this was worth it. I'm so getting the second when it comes out.
la jugabilidad es impecable
这辈子最喜欢玩火的一集

好玩,虽然火焰限时但是时间卡的不怎么严,战斗和跳跳乐也不难,期待第二部
Nocturnal was such a fun, atmospheric little game. That whole mechanic with using fire to light your way and slice through darkness was super cool. It's on the shorter side, but honestly, I'm pretty hyped to see what they end up doing with the sequel!.
гра прекрасно зроблена було особим удовольствієм її проходити, а також респект розрабам за те що вони зробили хорошу роботу над достіженіями, получаються по мере гри це очень хороша мелочь.
Gra jest dość krótka, ale przez ten krótki czas bawiłem się świetnie. Mechanika ognia bardzo mi się spodobała, system walki satysfakcjonujący. Gra miewała trudniejsze momenty platformowe, więc znajdzie się tu i coś dla fanów trudniejszych platformówek. Polecam każdemu spróbować
Franchement un bon petit jeu ! La mécanique du feu est top, super agréable à manier, et surtout pas frustrante comme on pourrait le craindre avec ce genre de mécanique. Gros point positif. Il y a quelques passages où on sent que le jeu essaie de nous corser un peu la vie de façon un poil artificielle, histoire de pimenter une difficulté globalement assez douce. Rien de dramatique, c'est presque un classique du genre pour les jeux courts. Justement, en parlant de courte durée : on plie le jeu à 100% en environ 4h (pour les plus lents comme moi). Perso je le vois plutôt comme une qualité, ça se termine pile au bon moment, sans temps mort ni remplissage inutile. J'ai juste hâte de voir ce que le deuxième opus va proposer en plus, parce qu'avec une base aussi sympa, il y a moyen de faire quelque chose de génial avec un peu plus de contenu.
