Smoke and Sacrifice

Smoke and Sacrifice

Smoke and Sacrifice is an open-world, narrative-driven RPG, where exploiting living ecosystems is the key to your survival. Craft, fight, survive and explore the huge open world in this beautifully hand-painted, gothic adventure where every character has their tale to tell.

Sachi’s home is the one tiny patch of fertile land which remains in an icy wasteland of a world. Her farming community thrives thanks to their devotion to the blazing Sun Tree, which replaces the lost light of the failed sun. After sacrificing her firstborn child to the Sun Tree, Sachi discovers a darker secret beneath the aura of priestly benevolence. Will she discover the truth hidden in the secret underworld, or perish in its swirling, deadly smoke?

With the odds stacked against her, strange creatures challenging her every step, and the ever-looming smoke waiting to steal life and memory, will Sachi ever discover the truth of what happened to her son?

Smoke and Sacrifice Review

The story in Smoke and Sacrifice ranges from quite strong to largely non-existent. Much of this stems from the nature of the game itself which has lots of long stretches between meaningful plot progression. Most of the game simply involves characters telling you to go and grab certain items, and so the story kind of vanishes.

Smoke and Sacrifice does succeed is in creating a unique world through its beautiful painterly art style. It’s a bit of a shame that the gorgeous art style gets wasted on the dreary underworld and several of the environmental types are lifeless and uninteresting. There is no denying that Smoke and Sacrifice is a visually sumptuous game at times with a unique world and lore.

Pity for the beautiful design of the strange creatures and bizarre appliances: After a fascinating start Smoke and Sacrifice focuses too much on the collection and crafting cycle of resources, recipes and tools. On the journey through the smoky steampunk underground, there are here and there atmospheric moments or interesting tasks in which one weakens or stuns the overpowering opponents first with the appropriate grenades. Unfortunately, many characters are demoted here only to trickle, to point the way to the next contact person. The story of Sachi’s lost son then plays only a minor role. In addition, the combat and catching mechanics is a bit bumpy.
