The list of crafting blueprints is long and diverse, and I frequently found myself in deficit of just one piddly little resource, which of course could only be found at a different kind of location. The on-foot gameplay is by far the best part of 'The Flame in the Flood', and is clearly inspired by other survivals like ' Don't Starve'. They are also sources of materials, and important ones at that - without their hides, I was doomed to a playthrough filled with cold damage. Boars, wolves, snakes and other mean critters prance around these places, just waiting for a poor rafter to make their way ashore. Of course, the wilderness locations she visits are not without guardians of their own. Scout can make everything she needs to heal herself if she has the proper materials on hand. There are many afflictions that will befall the unprepared adventurer, from exposure to poison ivy rashes to ant bites. On foot, Scout must gather saplings, cattails, and lumber in addition to the things she needs to eat, like berries and meat.
I probably spent equal time doing both, although it’s almost like playing two different games
Gameplay is separated into two parts: docking at small instanced maps to collect resources and craft things on foot, and a more twitch-based river rafting experience. In the game, the player takes the role of a girl named Scout, always accompanied by her faithful hound Aesop, as they journey down a post-apocalyptic, procedurally generated river. Now I remember why I thought this was one to wait for. Prior to this review, however, I had only spent a little time with an alpha build of the PC version and had been lapse in following their progress, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The premise of 'The Flame in the Flood' was great enough that I backed the Kickstarter campaign.
'The Flame in the Flood' is another entry in the crowded survival/roguelike genre.
