Flare (Free Libre Action Roleplaying Engine) is a simple game engine built to handle a very specific kind of game: single-player 2D action RPGs. Flare is not a re-implementation of an existing game or engine. It is a tribute to and exploration of the action RPG genre.
Flare comes bundled with a game made by the Flare team, the Empyrean Campaign. The Empyrean Campaign's story begins with the player being exiled from their homeland of Empyrean, resulting in them embarking on a quest to regain entry. This journey takes the player through many regions, with plenty of side quests along the way.
Flare was created by Clint Bellanger and has gathered several contributors over the years.
Note: The flare-game content contains depictions of violence, blood, and mild gore.
Installation
Download the archive what contains all for playing, not the NRO file it is only for the updates.
Unzip and put the "flare" folder in the "switch" folder of your console SD card.
For updates the engine download only "flare.nro" file, copy it in "switch/flare" folder on micro SD card and erase the older.
Notes:
- The mods folder should be in the same directory as the flare.nro file.
