This was an exciting, enthralling game that explored the origins of H.E.L.P. and those origins were extremely fascinating. The VA was also good, although I'm not impressed that the antagonist is yet another rogue H.E.L.P. agent. That said, I was more focused on the origin story of H.E.L.P., which was very satisfying, plus the methods they utilized to reveal said origin story were interesting. The puzzles were a bit challenging, but I'm not much of a puzzle person, so take this with a grain of salt. My only question is when is Eipix going to have a game that sets in their home country of Serbia?
I recommend this game!

I loved the storyline of the game, but am miffed that Blue Tea has decided not to join the rest of the world and have a custom option. Also no traveling map. The VA was a bit all over the place in the beginning, but gradually improved. I actually felt sorry for a certain character who I will not name in order to avoid spoiling everyone else, but yeah. The ending was good, and there is a bonus game if you've bought the collector's edition. I just hope Blue Tea Games decides to tackle either Toads and Diamonds, or Tamlin at some point.
I recommend this game!

It was exciting to play a game that uses myths about the fairy folk as its starting point. The characters were all very fascinating and the VA was excellent. The bonus game let's you play as a certain character who has a key role in the main game. All in all, another great Myths of the World game.

Let me start off by saying that I am obsessed with all things Roman, so I was already going in excited about it. With that said, I enjoyed the puzzles, particularly those with the Valor's Light. I also like that they used two actual historical figures, Vespasian and Sabinus. Vespasian later became emperor of Rome for those who fell asleep in history class years ago. The bonus chapter was fun, and it was satisfying to see a certain annoying character get hit with some long overdue karma.

It's a game taking place in another world with dinosaurs! What more could you want?! Ok, it has some good HOS for people who like those and a bubble shooter for those that don't. I have to admit the storyline broke my heart for reasons I won't reveal, although I was somewhat confused about when the bonus game takes place initially. All in all, a great game.

Let me start off by saying that this is not a cliché game about vampires. The storyline featured some shocking twists, and there were some interesting HOPs and puzzles. There's even an extra set of collectibles in addition to finding "Black Roses". The VA was excellent all around, as is usual for Eipix. I would recommend buying the Collector's Edition as the bonus chapter features a very sinister villain and ties up loose ends from the main game.

This was an enthralling game and I learned quite a bit about Mithradates, and his conflict with the Romans. I also enjoyed the storyline about Magellan. The Voice Acting was excellent, and HOPs were good as usual. This game also contains a fun bonus chapter that ties up a certain loose end from the main game, so I would recommend paying extra for the collector's edition.

I'm sorry to say it, but this is probably the one Dark Parables game I've played that I was meh about. The VA in this one was all over the place, with some good (Rapunzel and Ross Red) and some terrible (Snow White especially). The puzzles were also not that interesting, and I skipped most of them. However, the bonus game made up for this, by featuring Gerda, Kai, and Gwyn (favorites from Rise of the Snow Queen). If you really need to buy this game, get the Collector's Edition.

While this is an enjoyable game, I agree with another reviewer that having the hint button only work for hidden object scenes is frustrating. So either buy the CE or shill out some money for the guide, you'll need it. The VA was mostly good except for a couple of lines at the climax which sounded incredibly cheesy. The bonus chapter does a good job of connecting to the next game.

This is an exciting game featuring the fearsome Snow Queen of local lore. The FROGs were fairly straightforward and easy to solve. Any time I got stuck, I was able to consult the guide for assistance. There was also a bonus game featuring the tale of Hansel and Gretel which ties to the main game in surprising ways I won't reveal.
I recommend this game!
