First I must admit that I was charmed by the visual art. And the game didn't deceived me in play : there is a solid universe with a perfect associated ambiance. Controls can be a little disappointing at first but nothing that practice cannot managed.

I'm not found of survival crafting based videogame although I played some Fallout. But the story of this one keep me hooked until the end.

Beyond the quest of a mother trying to discovered what happened to her son, it appears that Hope is the true heart of Smoke and Sacrifice's story. It's also about Forgiveness and Redemption. It's not a simple story about Good and Evil. And the end definetely worth the playing time.

There is lot of challenges in Smoke and Sacrifice, mainly in combat.
Some of the biggest common ennemies can nearly one shot Sachi. Even a group of weak ennemies in one on one can be fatal if you are not correctly prepared. Fortunately, you can manage to make ennemies of different species to fight each other.
There is also the spectres, the fog, different kinds of trap...

The meaning of survival take all its sense in the adventure of Sachi since the first minutes. But with patience and tenacity Sachi may be able to face off difficulty.
