Kena: Bridge of Spirits is an action-adventure game developed and published by Ember Lab. The story follows Kena, a young spirit guide who uses her magical abilities to help deceased people move from the physical to the spirit world. The game is presented through a third-person perspective. The player uses Kena's staff for attacking enemies, and her pulse ability for defending against attacks. They are tasked with collecting small spirit companions known as the Rot, who help to complete tasks and battle against enemies. In this video DreamcastGuy reviews Kena on a PlayStation 5 while talking about the features of the PS5 version versus the graphics on the PS4 Pro. Also talked about is the gameplay, general story elements, and why the combat is so fun even with the constant need for upgrades. THis is a review style format video with Dreamcastguy talking over gameplay. The game's development was led by brothers Mike and Josh Grier, founders of Ember Lab. Having spent several years creating commercials and branded applications, the development team shifted to creating an original video game. They partnered with Sony Interactive Entertainment for a console-exclusive deal, and grew the team to 15 core employees. The game's art was created in collaboration with Vietnamese animation studio Sparx, and its fictional world is inspired by Eastern locations such as Japan and Bali. The original score was composed by Jason Gallaty, who collaborated with Balinese ensemble group Gamelan Çudamani to create respectful gamelan music.
Kena: Bridge of Spirits was showcased at the Tribeca Film Festival; reception to the demo was positive. The game was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 on September 21, 2021.
