Pyre is a party-based RPG in which you lead a band of exiles to freedom through ancient competitions spread across a vast, mystical purgatory. Who shall return to glory, and who shall remain in exile to the end of their days?
The concept of Pyre came out from prototyping several game ideas by Supergiant Games, according to creative director Greg Kasavin eventually coming to the theme of “what happens when you face defeat, and have to come back from it the next day, look your friends in the face, look yourself in the mirror, and deal with the consequences of the decisions you made?”
Cool. I’ll start a new playthrough later to relearn controls instead of flailing around like I did when I tried to return to an old save file a couple weeks ago.
First time I saw this “hover over certain text to get more info” thing was in Tyranny (which came out the year before Pyre), and Obsidian have used it since in Pillars 2 and Pentiment and such. I like it as a sort of soft codex where you don’t have to tab elsewhere to look things up.
Pretty sure Pyre pulls a couple tricks with it later too.
Also I’d forgotten this game has a fuckin Destiny cursor lol
My dumbass is going to buy this again on steam, probably at full price. I don’t care. I hate my PS5 now.
I might get the Vinyl too. The theme for the old ladies might be the stankest track on a supergiant game. Those women were b-ballers and you can tell with that song
if you dont want to buy it again, i could upload the .zip from itchio onto Mega or something
The game was in the BLM itch bundle for anyone that bought that. Itch is alot better about telling you what you have in a bundle now, so you can just go to a game page and itch will tell you if you own it.
