This is the most difficult, but entertaining, TM I've ever played. Had to wait 3 1/2 months for the SE to come out, but worth the wait. I don't know why there aren't more games like this, it's on my wish list to see more
I recommend this game!
Follow the brave warrior Alva on a fantastic time management adventure and help her find a kidnapped druid!

I so wanted to like this one, have waited for more TM like this but this one was not well thought out. Game play was a waiting game as the tasks you had to complete had you always waiting to build up enough resources, which makes it quite boring and frustrating. Since it took so long to finish a round, you don't get very far in the demo so not sure if the story gets more exciting. I also feel this was developed a long time ago and just now released; there are no options for difficulty or any other options.
Help Robin Hood and his merry men rescue King Richard from a cunning kidnapper in this captivating time management game!

I was happy so see another Robin Hood, but this one just doesn't match the fun in the 1st. Seems Winds of Freedom is just running around collecting resources to build buildings and bridges but not working towards fighting the bad guys or saving someone; when you come out with a new chapter, it should be better then the 1st chapter, but this one falls way short. I also don't understand why this is a CE as all I saw was finding a silver arrow in every scene. This will be a pass for me, even though it may get better later in the game but quite a boring demo

I'm so surprised there is a #2 as I figured it would be a one shot deal, but I'm thrilled there is another in the series and urge the developers to make more and more, just don't drop the quality of artwork. I really enjoyed #1 and have played it thru probably 20 times or more, but my main complaint about it was the colors were dull. This #2 has brilliant colors and the artwork is funner, better subject matter. My favorite so far is the dragonfly, was amazed how they did it so the color blended in instead of just block colored...my least favorite, which was disappointing, was the darling owl. It was such a cute picture but it was boring to do, there were only 5 colors and you sat there and did 100s of tiny feathers in color #1...so sad, they could have made it so enjoyable. Please bring on more of these and don't go add a bunch of fancy game play differences that will ruin the game. Thank You BF

If I had never played the 1st in the series, I would have really liked this one, but alas, it was not an improvement. The 1st in the series was longer, had more advanced tasks, used obstacles such as eye balls and crabs that this one had nothing like that. If you're a first time servant of the kingdom, you'll should enjoy this one, just be sure to also download the 1st one and play after this one. Series followers always expect something new and improved in the future versions, this one seemed rushed and fell flat in the advancement promise.

I played the entire demo, and I'm surprised that I really liked it and seriously thinking of getting the SE version. What surprises me even more is the low reviews, guess I need to check out the earlier games in the series to see why this isn't living up to previous one. I haven't purchased this type of HO games in a very long time; in years past, I've purchased 100s of them, but I just don't like the new ones. They are so dark, chalked full of puzzles and not very interesting story lines; I prefer more of the fairy tale stories that you see few of anymore. When the SE comes out, I'll play demo again to decide if I really want to go for it, or pass it up as I normally do anymore. Please bring back the fantasy stories, good stories, and leave the dark ones where they belong...in a closet.
I recommend this game!

So happy someone came out with a real paint by number as the pixel ones are aweful. I played the demo and thought I loved it, bought it, and as I played the remaining artwork, I discovered it really wasn't all that great
- Terrible artwork, most had thick black lines and some had hairline lines...should be somewhere in between
- No options to set up the game, had to figure out how to get rid of the shading that showed where you should paint, which is for kids, not grown ups...should have an option to turn off the indicating shade instead of figure out if you slid the darkness slide all the way to the right would remove the shading
- Some pictures were loaded with great big color boxes and others were tiny dots
- The choice of artwork was really lacking, most pictures were awful, only a few were enjoyable cute or pretty pictures
I love that someone finally came out with a true paint by number, but developer should have taken more time to consider what the user would like to see and do. Give us a great product and we'll give you the credit you deserve

After waiting over 2 months for the SE to come out, I'm thrilled with this new game. It's lots of fun, you do have to think about which route to take and which building to build first. This is a big improvement on so many of the corny TMs that have come out in the recent past and I'm hoping this is a sample of good things to come. I've already played the whole game twice and only had it for 3 days, will probably do a 3rd play very soon. Thanks BF, keep this caliber of games coming out

I love this one and it even has a story, which gives it a little something more. I found the puzzles more challenging, and even though I've had to start over again many times, I've never become frustrated, only challenged. My only complaint is that the 2 lower buttons, one to advance to next level and the other is the evidence, won't open after the end of a chapter; I have to open task manager, quit the game, then open again to start the new chapter. Even though I wish this was fixed, it's not enough for me to stop playing. WTG BF

It's been sometime that I have really liked a game, especially a continuation of a series, but this one is pretty close to a 5 IMO. I've only played the demo and will anxiously await the SE to come out so I continue the adventure. I didn't realize there were hidden objects in the game until the last demo screen come up and I notice the section that said hidden objects found....darn. I always loved this series, especially the first 2 or 3, then it started to slide, but this 5th one looks to be as good as originals, if not better, but playing the whole game will tell if it continues to be a very good game.
I recommend this game!
