Critic Reviews
FingerGuns
By Greg HicksA top-down adventure title that pays homage to the likes of Zelda and Illusion of Time, There Is No Light is an illuminating game that fits alongside them. A little rough around some edges, it nonetheless scratches that itch for retro enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
NaviGames
By Daniel RubioA dark fantasy hack and slash that draws from religious myths, Lovecraftian and Russian folklore. Its pixel-art is disturbing, and together with the audio design, it puts the player into ruthless combats where instinct prevails over strategy.

By Rubén ManzanaresThere Is No Light is a totally recommendable title, although it doesn't quite shine as it would like, the game has a sensational visual aspect and a great narrative, but sometimes it is vague. Its combat system is quite mediocre and therefore ends up taking its toll on the overall rating.
