  This game is a visual masterpiece right from the start. The art, music, lighting, and UI are meticulously crafted, creating a breathtaking experience that made me pause to take it all in and enjoy it several times. The combat and platforming elements strike the perfect balance, providing an enjoyable challenge that keeps you hooked. The Ignition mechanic makes for a very clever way to dynamically adjust the difficulty to suit your preferences. Even though I've only delved a few hours into the game, I'm already itching to plunge deeper and lose myself in a game binging session.

  Very fun and challenging. The gameplay can be a bit clunky at times, and I feel like it's maybe a bit too hard, but the art, story and music are all fantastic so far!

  Candle Knight is a very fun and interesting game Has some really interesting mechanics, as well as a fantastic artstyle, being able to explore a castle from the perspective of such a small character is very cool Recommend this game if you're a fan of platformers and metroidvania styled games

  Enjoying the game.. it is a slow progression to getting upgrades, but it's still a good time. Combat takes a little getting used to. Also, for the devs -- Something From Nothing - Fully upgrade the shield achievement triggered randomly somewhere right before the King boss. Great job otherwise!

  Fun game with great visuals, I'm usually not very fond of darker environments, but here they work very well due to the main character being a candle, so it compliments the setting nicely. I was able to test the game months before it was released, and I see that the things I mentioned back then were addressed, I'm happy to see the game turned out even better.

  I have only cleared the second boss so take my early thoughts with a grain of salt! Overall, I think the most unique thing about this game is the combat system. The Ignis Meter going up and giving you more damage as you play more aggressively feel great, but it does balance itself by making you more vunerable to damage so if you are like me and are too used to hack and slash games, well, you might die quite a few times! This game is the first one released from this studio so all bugs and minor problems I encountered are understandable; what I find the most appealing though is that I can find the work and passion put in this game in everything. From the artstyle to the level design to how the Devs try their best to communicate with players and work together to further polish something anyone can look back with fondness. I specially recommend this game for people who dream of making their own games. Now that it's possible and your dream is within grasp, you just have to take a risk the same way the candle knight does when he starts winning ignition. You may stomp and get hit hard by obstacles, but that's just part of the journey!

  I was so disappointed not to enjoy this - From the brief look I got, the artistic style looked great, the music seemed great, and the combat was challenging and rewarding. But, for some reason the camera is hard locked to the player character, so every jump lurches the camera upwards with the player and I was immediately nauseous.

  I haven't beaten it yet, just been exploring/grinding. Really awesome graphics, though camera angles get a little wonky sometimes. I have managed to clip out of bounds a few times into the endless abyss lol.. See if you can manage it ;) Solid 4.2 / 5 stars from me. I highly recommend, and I'm only 5 hours in.

  This game feels incomplete. the controls have a slow response, you will find yourself hitting the same button a couple times to execute one action. the background music is low, slow and not engaging at all. this game feels off in so many ways. not worth the price not even discounted.

  It's fun and engaging. Graphic are great and the story and soundtrack are impressive.
