Flame Over is out today on Steam

Thu, 28th May 2015 | Posted by Ross

The big day has finally arrived, and Flame Over, Laughing Jackal’s firefighting action roguelike, is released on Steam later today priced at just $11.99. The game will go on sale at 9am PDT (5pm BST) at which point our massive 40% pre-purchase discount will expire, so make sure you hurry to the Flame Over Steam Store Page to take advantage of this great saving. We should also mention that there are cats in this game. Cats that may well burn without YOUR help. ;_; So please, do what you can… ;)

Those of you reading this after the game is released shouldn’t despair, as there will be a lesser 20% discount lasting until Thursday 3rd June. So, even if you have missed out on the 40% discount it’s still worth making sure you pick up Flame Over now.

In the run up to release we got Flame Over’s designer, Al Evans, to record a Let’s Play of the game, complete with developer commentary. In the video Al gives a general overview of the game and then takes you through the some of the features which are new to the PC version. Check it out:

For those of you who prefer something a little more unbiased, the mighty YouTuber Nerd Cubed also took a look at Flame Over for his Youtube channel, and I’m pleased (and with almost 250K views at the time of writing, very, very happy!) to say he really enjoyed it! J So, go check out what he thought of the game:

It might not be out just yet, but the PC version of Flame Over is already getting some great reviews with Epic Brew awarding it 4/5 saying: “Flame Over is a quality roguelike”

In another awesome development, the 5th largest curator on Steam, Just Good PC Games, has recommended it, saying that: “It has a lot of replay ability”

Flame Over also got a lot of great reviews for its Vita release:

“Flame Over isn’t just one of my favorite PS Vita games of the year but one of my favorite games full stop. I seriously cannot stop playing it.” - 10/10
PS Nation

“Extremely addictive. Hours and hours of pure fun.” -100%
PS3blog.net

“...packs a ferocious difficulty level and a protagonist that makes Fireman Sam look like a weakling... Not only is it one of the best games of 2015 (so far), it’s one of the best games on Playstation Vita. Period.”
Critical Indie Gamer

“Flame Over burns about as bright as a Bunsen burner with the air holes open and some magnesium tape held in the flame. It is a rock of a challenge that only Herculean gamers will complete... If you're up for the challenge, jump right in...” - 9/10
PS Vita Roundup

“Flame Over seems too hot to handle at first, but it's worth every hour you invest into it” - 8/10
Pocket Gamer

All of that feedback doesn’t even take into account the cool new content introduced for the Steam version of the game, so make sure you head over to the Flame Over Steam Store page to pick it up now! :)
