flares is an atmospheric action-adventure game with an innovative combat system, designed to let most players experience those moments of bliss and the satisfying flow that comes from challenge. The game features an intricate world and an emotion-based storyline that allows players to identify and connect with the game on a deeper level, creating a truly unique experience.
The fight one flares is refreshing thanks to a mix of two core mechanics that create a sense of engagement and excitement. The first is a parry-focused approach inspired by An axe, but more forgiving. The mechanic encourages players to experiment without penalty and rewards players for being precise and combining parries with attacks, key abilities, and dodges. The second mechanic is a color matching system: you can switch between blue and orange, as can your enemies; To parry, you must match their color. This creates a heightened sense of engagement and immersion through observation.
In order to develop this unique combat system, we prioritized player feedback by inviting players to test the game from its rough prototype stage. Through iterations and discussions with players throughout the game’s production, we were able to develop the combat system to its full potential, resulting in a challenging and immersive experience that players enjoyed.
Development flares a dream came true for our small team. We have developed unique processes and techniques that allowed us to create high quality content in a short time while overcoming numerous challenges. We are proud of the result and look forward to sharing this experience with players worldwide. flares is available today on Xbox.
