Our take on Embers of Mirrim
Its defining mechanic is the ability to divide one hero into Light and Dark embers, then control both independently with the left and right analog sticks.
What is Embers of Mirrim?
Embers of Mirrim is an adventure-platformer about a mystical creature formed from two different races.
The hero can divide into Light and Dark embers, with each form controlled separately through the left and right analog sticks. Players use this arrangement to navigate platforming sections, solve environmental puzzles, overcome obstacles, and move through varied landscapes. The journey includes encounters with large bosses, pursuit sequences, and a mission to remove corruption from the world, rescue friends, and restore balance. Environments include a thawing mountain, an aging forest, and a desolate wasteland, with hidden secrets placed throughout them. The game combines the split-character mechanic with a narrative about opposing forces joining together against an alien threat.
