NZ Gamer - I was sitting in bed when my boyfriend noticed the DVD sitting on my desk. “What's that?” he quizzed.
“I’m not too sure” I replied. “But I think it might be that curious new title from Sydney that NZGamer.com sent me to review”.
I was right. Hidden inside the bubble wrapped package was a copy of Frozen Hearth, the latest little title from Epiphany Games, an independent developer from across the ditch.
“Well go on, give it a go” he said. I obliged, and after spending a good 20 minutes updating, registering, and optimising, I had Frozen Hearth all ready to go.
Sunday is the hardest day of the week, so let yourself enjoy a free Steam copy of Frozen Hearth.
Mitch of RGN writes, "Unfortunately the game's cluttered and stale interface and how the experience just isn't where it needs to be are all that comes across to most players of this title. Our team put it in the hands of more than one reviewer and ultimately the responsibility was handed to me. To deliver on the potential of the story-line and gameplay designs selected by the developer, a better color palette, better control scheme, better artificial intelligence, better voice acting, and better writing would be needed."
Gaming Nexus chats with Samuel Jensen of Epiphany Game about their current project (Frozen Hearth)and how Valve's Steamlight is as much of a hindrance as it is help to indie devs.
