Ignite your imagination with Child of Light, Ubisoft Montreal’s 2014 RPG gem that floated onto PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii U, PC, and Vita on April 29, 2014, with a Switch glow-up in 2018. This isn’t just a game—it’s a poetic adventure where you, Aurora, a princess snatched from 1895 Austria, awaken in the magical realm of Lemuria to battle the Queen of the Night. With a painterly vibe and a cult following, Child of Light is a dazzling tale that’ll steal your heart!
Wield a sword and fairy light as Aurora, joined by Igniculus—a glowing orb buddy—and a quirky crew of misfits like Rubella the jester and Finn the mage. Combat’s a turn-based ballet—juggle interrupts, buffs, and elemental spells in a system inspired by Grandia, all while Igniculus blinds foes or heals in real time. Explore Lemuria’s floating islands, thorny forests, and glowing caves, solving puzzles with flight and light tricks. Level up strength, magic, or speed via a gem-crafting skill tree, turning Aurora from lost girl to warrior queen.
The vibe? A Brothers Grimm storybook meets Studio Ghibli—think hand-painted art, rhyming dialogue, and a haunting piano score by Cœur de Pirate. Every frame’s a masterpiece, powered by the UbiArt Framework (Rayman fans, take note). No multiplayer, just a solo quest—or local co-op with a friend steering Igniculus. Critics (82 on Metacritic) praised its charm, and fans still beg for a sequel in 2025. Available across platforms, Child of Light is a whimsical wonder—grab your wings and reclaim the sun!
