\"\"<\/a>Ungh is a caveman who is in charge of guarding the fire for his village.\u00a0 When he falls asleep and lets it burn out, the village elder kicks him out and now Ungh must find more fire.\u00a0 Shortly after, he comes across a magical tree with seeds that can teleport him all over the Stone Age, but they scatter so now Ungh must search for those seeds and ultimately, a new fire.\u00a0 Fire: Ungh\u2019s Quest is a really odd, wordless animated point and click adventure style game.\u00a0 It\u2019s available on Switch and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.<\/p>\n

Each level in the game is three screens long.\u00a0 Travel to each screen by tapping arrows on the bottom.\u00a0 Each screen has clickable items you can interact with.\u00a0 You can tell what you can click on by pressing a button.\u00a0 Sometimes Ungh can pick up an item, but he can only hold one thing at a time so he\u2019ll put down one to pick up another.\u00a0 You\u2019ll interact with objects and use items in this fashion until you can reach the teleporting seed in each level.\u00a0 Once you do you\u2019ll move onto the next.\u00a0 There are no words in this game, so you\u2019ll have to rely on Ungh\u2019s animations to know if you did something right.\u00a0 For instance, if he doesn\u2019t know what to do with what you clicked on, his head will flip open like a lid and a sign with a question mark will come out.\u00a0 Hidden in each area are coins. Collect enough and you can unlock goodies like concept art and whatnot.<\/p>\n

There are two ways to control the game, depending on how you play the Switch.\u00a0 And both ways are somewhat unconventional.\u00a0 If you are playing in handheld mode, you\u2019ll use the touch screen.\u00a0 But if you are connected to the TV, you\u2019ll move the cursor around with the JoyCon\u2019s motion controls!\u00a0 Both ways work fine, I\u2019m just surprised they didn\u2019t let you use the joystick to move the cursor.<\/p>\n

Really the only problem I had with this game is that since there are no words, it can be hard to know what you need to do.\u00a0 Especially since oftentimes, the solutions make no sense.\u00a0 For instance, to go inside a triceratop\u2019s mouth, you must pull a cord that opens it\u2019s frill like a curtain.\u00a0 Then you can tap the brain on the inside to control some of its bodily functions, including opening the mouth so you can walk in.\u00a0 And that\u2019s one of the more grounded solutions!\u00a0 That poor dinosaur!\u00a0 I oftentimes had to use a video guide to get as far as I did.\u00a0 I did like the animated cartoon graphics and guitar music, though.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fire: Ungh\u2019s Quest is rated E-10 with an ESRB descriptor of Crude Humor.\u00a0 I actually noticed more violence than crude humor, though.\u00a0 Granted, it\u2019s all Looney Tunes Road Runner style violence.\u00a0 For instance, in one level, a shaman performs a rain dance and a cloud strikes him with lightning, turning him into a pile of ashes with a pair of blinking eyes on top.\u00a0 This allows you to take his staff so you can perform rain dances elsewhere.\u00a0 Reading skill isn\u2019t needed since there are no words in this game, but younger gamers still may get frustrated at the obtuse puzzles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
