This is more of a mini puzzle game than anything else. Too many mini puzzles and they don't make a lot of sense. I'm not a fan of mini puzzles. Guess I don't have the patience for them. Then there are mini puzzles inside the HOs and there aren't many HOs either. The story doesn't flow and it doesn't make much sense. Even as a Daily Deal for $3.05 I'm not buying.
I don't recommend this game.

I played the demo and thought it was a kids game because it was so easy. But as you move up in the game, it gets more difficult. I read the other reviews and decided to buy it based on that and the fact that it was a Daily Deal. It's not bad at all. Good for something different for me since i usually don't play 3 Match games anymore. I used to play them when I first got a computer and got bored with them. This one isn't boring. It's a bit like Gummy Drops but looks more child like. It's cute.
I recommend this game!

Just played the demo and all I can say is that it looks like an older game. I just wan't impressed with this game so far and I really am not into dark and evil story lines. Why are so many games dealing with this subject matter. Can't the devs come up with nice stories that don't involve, death, murder and evil? What's wrong with these people? Why is everyone into death and evil? I didn't much care for the device to see evil energy that always needed a new battery after just one use. I thought these games were supposed to be HOS games yet there are a lot more of those mini games than HOS and I don't care for most of the mini games. Some are OK but some are just more annoying than fun.This game was on sale for $3.05 but even at that price, I'm not buying. They have one of these deals every day so I''l buy the ones I like better.
I don't recommend this game.

Just finished the whole SE game. It's a pretty good game but the story line is is a bit weird. It's a take of of the fairytale Rapunzel but with a weird twist. I enjoyed playing the game but there were some wait times between some scenes; especially toward the latter part of the game. It may be my computer was being slow though. All in all it's a good game and the graphics are very good. I can't comment on the music since I play with the music off. I listen to interviews while playing. The HOS were good and not too difficult. Some of the mini games were a bit much for my patience and some were really easy. It's a good game for those who hate invisible items in HOS which I personally hate. I like to be able to find them; not click all over just to find an item. You also don't have to run all over the map just to find a piece. They weren't too far away. A relaxing and enjoyable game.
I recommend this game!

Just played the demo and even though I'm not a big fan of dark tales, this game seems so far to follow a logical story line and the graphics are very good. It's not too hard which I like. Games are for fun; not for stress. It was the Daily Deal for $3.05 Can, so I had to buy it at that price and it does seem to be a good game. Especially for that price. So far I enjoyed it.
I recommend this game!

I just finished playing this game and the story started out fine even though it wasn't very realistic. A kid in medieval times invents a flying toy? This long before the Wright brothers? Then the kids uncle knows how to fix an alien space ship. The Uncle manages to get to the alien planet and then can figure out how to do all these technical things on an alien world. Really? The game goes downhill in my opinion after that. The graphics are beautiful and wonderfully done but the story line is silly and very unrealistic. I can't comment on the music since I turn it off. I listen to interviews on YouTube while I play. I did expect more from this game since I love the medieval themes and sci-fi as well. I thought this game would be right up my alley but it was just too silly. That's not the worst part though. I found the morphing objects a waste of time and the HOPS were pretty bad IMO. The mini games were way to easy in some places and others I couldn't figure out what was wanted. The mini game info was almost useless in some cases. I had not played any of these kinds of games for a few years and I expected them to have gotten way better. Seems it's the opposite. Graphics have improved greatly but the story line , HOPS and mini games sucked. It seems, at least with this game, that the creators were off to a roaring start and about half way through they got fed up and just didn't put the effort in. There's a part in the story where the characters are on an old run down medieval ship and they get to a city where they have to get through a huge wall. The solution the creators came up with was to have a big hook come over the wall hook onto one side of the ship and then lift the ship over the wall. Now that's just a bit much. That is beyond silly. It's an OK game if you just want to play a game but it's far from being worth the price. I'm just glad I used one of my free coupons for this one. I'd have been upset had I paid for it.
I don't recommend this game.

This to me looks like an older game and I wasn't very impressed with it. Not many HO's and lots of mini games which often were not well designed. Some were way too easy and others I had no idea what was wanted. Hints were fairly useless in a lot of these mini games as well. The story line is disjointed and didn't make much sense and was pretty dreary. I bought this game on sale and for the $10 I didn't feel it was worth the price. I haven't bought a game for a long time and I sure noticed they put the prices way up. To me this game isn't worth the price and is way too short. Like everything else, greed is at play here. This game should sell for no more than a couple of dollars IMO.
I don't recommend this game.
