    Pretty sure these top reviews are fake? this game is a trash souls clone, none of the controls work, the music is constantly playing on loop loud as hell -cant turn it down in the menu- just. just dont. go buy something else.

    This is by far THE worst game i have ever played, the graphic looks like something a child would make, the sounds is so.. lacking in every way, u dont get a real feel of ur character.. everything just feels rushed and badly done.. hollow.. but hey at least the intro music is.. somewhat okay.. this is an insult to the gods.. not worth a buy imo..

    OMG, where do I even start this game is PAIN utter PAIN. For one, the achievements are bugged 2 3 4 6. The quests are all in the wrong order. The fighting was so bad I was crying, forcing myself to complete it because of the achievement THAT DON'T ****** WORK! Only has one map and man just doesn't buy it, I repeat. DO NOT BUY THIS!! G2A gave me a demon for a game, a buggy broken demon. IT GAVE ME 4 OF THEM. I can't even give this an actual review. It's so bad. (removed from my account)

    One of the worst games I've ever played. Cons: Clunky Bad hit box Characters glitch and don't attack. (That could be a good thing.) Bad instructions for the forest area on what to do (your goal is to fight 4 enemies near the fireball and do the same thing over and over). Pros: The sword's design 2/10

    I honestly don't even know what to write. The game looks like a project someone was learning to work on in Unreal Engine and not a finished (it doesn't even look like a beta) game. There is only one type of enemy, and as long as you figure out a tactic to defeat him, the whole game is relatively simple. The game has 6 levels, but levels 2-5 look like one map. The assets on the maps are laid out completely sloppily, every other stone or tree floats in the air. I understand that…

    bad from start . this is more of 8 bit 80S type game . no story or any point in it. its been out over a year and looks like still beta. looks like a game that got rejected from mine craft. i played like 11 minutes and wasted enough time in it. there is no save or health( food,potion ) no direction just look for some enemy to kill about 5 and move on i guess.

    I bought a 3.99 games pack off a bundle store and figured I would try it since it caught my eye. The game seriously needs some work done on it. It made me feel like the game was made during a lunch break at work or something. I would never pay the current 5.99 for this in its current state. 99 cents or less, maybe. It is currently a slapped together fighting game, thrown into steam. Will change my review when this sees some improvement but for now I do not recommend it.

    Firelight Fantasy: Phoenix Crew is a third-person roguelite sword fighting indie game that is based on Scandinavian mythology. This game was not enjoyable at all. Overall, it is very unpolished. The story was so boring. The fighting mechanism is horrible. Just, don't, buy! 4/10.

    This game is not worth buying 1. Bad gameplay it looks like a very old game and barely been detailed 2. again zero details it looks like the devs just gave up on this game 3. the combat and fighting system is very bad nothing special just hard to M1 the enemies 4. The storyline is really basic and it has nothing special in it 5, this game had a chance to become triple AAA if the devs worked on it instead of small updates and bug fixes

    I think this game has a lot of potential, but there are things that are definitely worth improving. The first game location is too empty, it needs more variety in the vegetation, maybe to add some trees. On the next map, everything is the other way around - dense thickets, but there are almost no remarkable objects.

    It's quite tempting and even not bad for early access. But there are features that need to be polished properly. For example, you can make not only random spawn weapons, but also some kind of economic system, for example, the ability to customize swords, axes.

    Second Firelight Fantasy game I play and surprisingly enough this one is somehow significantly worse. Lets start by saying, got this for like $5 on G2A or whatever as a mystery key bundle but to my surprise the mystery wouldn't just be a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game...but a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game priced at $14 with positive reviews...i even saw PARAGRAPHS worth of questionable praise here. Buckle up, here's an accurate review. First off....did you get a special version of the game where there was a story worth writing…

    An exciting game that blends action and exploration elements, immersing players in the world of Norse mythology. Sword fights with a variety of enemies, a simple plot, and character customization options make our stay in the game thrilling. The artistic style and meticulously crafted locations beautifully convey the atmosphere of the mythical world, while the sound design enhances the immersion, highlighting the tense moments of battles and exploration.

    Played Firelight Fantasy: Phoenix Crew and appreciated the focus on swordplay mechanics. Parrying and chaining attacks feels responsive, enemies vary in patterns for engaging fights. Mythical setting with gods and giants adds flavor to the progression. Graphics stylized for fantasy, runs smooth. Good pick for quick action sessions.

    very bad game, this is not for release and if developer wanted to release this the price should be 0.50$ or free beacuse there are a lot of free assest and i could make something like this myself in unreal and it would take me 1 week. The game needs dialogue in first scene and the text should be down without black background (if dev doenst have money for that he can do voicelines himself), second the game needs some kind of quest or objective that player can follow, third map needs revamp there…

    It's total nonsense where you fight a single enemy over and over again. The "objectives" don't even work because the dev didn't match them to the correct stages and only 2 out of the 6 achievements will unlock (Thankfully profile features disabled). The dev attempting to charge $14 for this is outrageous. There are also three other virtually identical games by this dev with the same mechanics that only change the story and setting.

    Firelight Fantasy: Phoenix Crew presents an interesting gaming experience with commendable graphics and an engaging storyline. However, it falls short in certain areas, such as the repetitive sound design and environmental aspects that lack variety and distinct landmarks. Nonetheless, considering the affordable price and the game's suitability for casual play, it remains a title that deserves attention from players looking for a decent fantasy adventure.

    An amazing world of the Middle Ages, in which we learn a variation of the story from the developer about Norse mythology. The path to the fortress of Avov will be difficult - hundreds of enemies, riddles and obstacles in a very beautiful and realistic world, consisting of 6 locations. The hero will be able to fight with a variety of attacks and with the help of several types of weapons.
