Enter an enclosed arena, kill contorted tree-things, burst the bulbs with a magical pulse, and cleanse the area. Over the course of the game, you’ll attain a few extra powers - turning your staff into a magical bow and the ability to throw a series of spirit bombs, to name a couple - but the setup for combat largely remains the same throughout. Movement is swift, platforming is non-aggravating, and the third-person combat is dancelike and bursting with energy. For the most part, this means eliminating all those red nodules that blight the land.įor what’s ostensibly an indie game made by an animation studio crossing over to the realm of video games for the first time, Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a surprisingly slick affair.
As Kena, a spirit guide who travels the land seeking to reunite the dead, usher spirits to the afterlife, and generally put things right, my top priorities are the forested valley and its health.
It would be picturesque if not for all the gnarled purple roots strangling the life out of the place, and the fleshy bulbs pulsating a toxic red. I’m in the midst of another forest meadow.
