From the second we set eyes on Strayed Lights, interest levels rose. And the more we took in, the more we got excited. Now, finally, that game arrives, as the jaw-dropping, pulse-pounding Strayed Lights releases on PC and console.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Available right now on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and PC (Steam, Epic, GoG), Strayed Lights from the development team at Embers will see you taking on the role of a tiny light, one that grows as it embarks on a quest for transcendence and confronts daunting creatures residing inside and out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Strayed Lights is trying much, and as we found out in our exclusive interview with the Embers team<\/strong>, this is one in which your faith in colour will dictate success. See, throughout, you will need to shift between colored states of being to parry enemy attacks and, if timed correctly, absorb your foe\u2019s energy for fierce high-damage strikes. Only by mastering the rhythm of the game\u2019s combat flow to quell the unrest of colossal beings gone rogue will you be able to purify them of emotional torment.<\/p>\nStrayed Lights\u2019 easy-to-learn yet hard-to-master combat system will lie at the heart of the game\u2019s hauntingly beautiful world of shimmering fauna and mysterious ruins. With the key features then sitting as\u2026<\/p>\n
\nHARNESS ENERGY IN COMBAT \u2013 Challenge rogue shadow creatures in fast-paced, rewarding combat. Use a fluid mix of parries and dodges to absorb their energy levels until you can unleash an ultra energy attack. Shift your light from blue to orange in sync with enemies using timed parries, then push energy back at them in vivid finishers. <\/li>\n CONFRONT CREATURES WITHIN AND WITHOUT \u2013 Monsters pursue you across otherworldly regions of mists, tall trees and luminescent ruins. Enjoy evocative boss fights with colossal shadow creatures gone rogue, as well as rhythmic duels with a variety of eerie creatures.<\/li>\n GROW AND ASCEND \u2013 Build up a unique character that can harness energy to let loose bold attacks.
