The Amber Throne - Review @ GamerHeadlines

Travis Patterson (GamerHeadlines) has reviewed The Amber Throne:

Then There Was Arra

The Amber Throne surprised me, both in good and bad ways. However, the story and the art style are both very strong and help to compel the player to go deeper and deeper into the depths of this game. The story starts as so: The Amber God had a prophetic vision that there would be a rebellion that would claim his life. He perceived that, if the throne fell into the wrong hands, the destruction and carnage that would fall upon the land would be catastrophic and unparalleled. He raised his kingdom high into the sky and protected it by encasing it inside of an impenetrable cloud. The events unfolded as he knew they would and he was killed by the rebellion. Prior to raising his kingdom into the sky, he hid his sleeping daughter away with the hopes that she would someday awaken and destroy the throne once and for all. The reason why the throne had to be destroyed is because the Amber Throne grants any wish that can be imagined to the person that sits upon it. There have been several Amber Gods. However, this particular Amber God wanted to stop the cycle. Will his daughter Arra be able to fulfill her father’s dying wish?
