Emberwind review in svt1 morning show
Posted by Erik Möller
Here it is finally,
the review from Swedish TV morning show with english subs.
There's a button to turn them on in youtube if you don't have that enabled already.
The review is obviously aimed at the morning show audience, hence a great deal of time is
spent explaining "indie games", but never the less it's a great review and Emberwind
scores an impressive 4/5.
Interviewed by it24
Posted by Erik Möller
Thomas Arnroth, probably the best known games reviewer in Sweden who has his own segment in
one of the morning shows on national TV, did a review of Emberwind (link to video will
be posted shortly). After the review he did a
follow-up interview with me for it24.se.
Unfortunately it's in Swedish and google translate is doing a pretty poor job with it.

ZTGameDomain reviews Emberwind
Posted by Erik Möller
Catastrophe at ZTGameDomain or Cathlin Sentz as her RL name is made a really nice
review of Emberwind scoring an 8/10.
You can tell she's spent a good deal of time in the game and done a thorough analysis pointing out the goods and the bads... water death pits! Ah, yeah what a blunder!
Good thing they're few and far apart. The pits aside she seems to have really enjoyed it and writes:
"This 2D platformer is cartoon pretty and intensely cute. If you want a fun platformer, Emberwind is an excellent option and a treat for the $12 price."

GamingXP reviews Emberwind
Posted by Erik Möller
Manfred Beck at GamingXP.com has made a
review of Emberwind. It really stretched my high-school German to the limit,
but what a great review! Emberwind scores a very solid 77% and had it not been for the missing
multiplayer it would've scored well into the 80 mark.
German readers, please don't beat me up if I misquote this :)
"Ideal for casual gaming, Emberwind also provides enough depth for [serious] long term gaming,
and as was mentioned before, it's suitable to anyone."

review of Emberwind scoring yet another 7/10.

"If you fondly recall time spent playing old platformers, then Emberwind is most certainly a game
for you. Regardless of any niggling flaws, the game is an almost illegal amount of fun to play."

ApertureGames reviews Emberwind
Posted by Erik Möller
Daniel at ApertureGames has made a review of Emberwind
scoring a pretty decent 7/10.
"Emberwind is a great game for younger players, with very little that would offend, and ultimately how much
you enjoy Emberwind is fully dependant on the challenge you’ll get for it.
I highly recommend you give the demo a try."
