Great sequel to the Viking Brothers saga. The characters are charming, the music not overly obnoxious, the tasks challenging. I loved the other two episodes and this one is a keeper. I tend to play these over and over again. Play the demo and I'm sure this will be a must buy for TM intermediate and beginner players.
I loved it. I know there are a lot of mixed reviews for this game and not all are complimentary but I loved it. I liked it better than the last installment as a matter of fact. Same cute characters though I suspect that this was going to be a Christmas release that didn't quite make it - hence, Dracula's Santa costume. The music is upbeat and charming. I actually like the Plastic Land v. Paper Land idea. I bought the CE edition because I like finding the little statues and presents, etc. but the SE (when it comes out) should be just fine. IMHO I'll give this a B+.

Okay...in defense of people who initially bought it thinking it was a strategy/time management game like the Adelantado Trilogy games before it, I get it. It was NOT. But it has the great graphics, our little guys, hidden surprises and the music. It is not like Roads of Rome. You don't have to build road. All of the buildings are there, and there is strategy involved but more typical of time management games than the very different original Trilogy games. It is a great blend between the two. But buyer beware: Make sure you play the TRIAL version before purchasing. I think it's wonderful if only to visit the Aztec lands of our original hero.

I thought it was very challenging (maybe a little too difficult to get 3 stars) for an intermediate player who has played these types of time management games. The characters are the same from the previous Elven games and though I can't speak for the CE I thought the SE was entertaining. You often have to play a level multiple times to get 3 stars and some are just impossible. Good add to the series.

Another wonderful time management game! Graphics are better than the Viking Brothers game but both were fun. The goldfish bonus is a great touch as well as the storage chests to help with the collecting. I can't add anything more to the great reviews already posted. Terrific sequel.
The legacy of the Weather Lord continues as King Victor and Queen Victoria prepare to pass the royal torch to their daughter, Jenny. But before Jenny can rule, she must learn the ropes!

For those who are fans of the Weather Lord series, this installment is not as challenging as the others but still enjoyable. The fairies in Graduation are NOT friendly. Instead of giving you gold, they stop our little workers from their appointed tasks. There are pirates and cannons but the balloon-blowing trolls are back along with the floating ghosts. The gold mines are gone and replaced with stone mines but wheelbarrows filled with needed supplies abound. The fairy houses are still there and a lot of new buildings that need upgrading as well as a storehouse that provides goodies. I actually enjoyed it despite the lack of real challenge. Sometimes you need a break from all the running around, collecting and building. The developers could do without the puzzle pieces though, they are so obvious that they add little to the game play. All in all, worth a go during a BOGO sale and for those who want all the games in a series.

Yes, this game is a lot like many other build/collect/upgrade games in the family of Kingdom Tales, Viking Saga and the rest. But it is whimsy (the little annoying green bugeler and the fireman are adorable) and a wonderful game for those who enjoy kicking back with a time management game that doesn't make you feel like a failure for not getting 3 gold stars. The scenery graphics are simple and bubble-like in bright colors. This got a good rating from me but not an excellent for the mere fact it is similar to others. It was a daily deal and well worth the $2.99.

I have the prior games in this series and I love them. Mainly for the replay value. Although the series isn't the most frenetic of time management games, it is enjoyable. This release is no different. Most of the negative reviews are for people who like the insanely difficult TM games where getting 3 gold stars is tantamount to winning the Olympic sprinting medal. Though they are more challenging, some of the time you just want a game to get you through a rainy Sunday without popping a vessel. The characters are cute, music nicely done. No bells and whistles but enjoyable. It's nice to WIN gold every now and then.

This is a very difficult TM game (though I am not exactly speedy) and levels have to be played using a combination of bonuses and strategy to get 3 stars on many of the levels. I played the demo of the CE game and was waiting for the SE version. One feature in the CE version that is not in the SE one is finding little treasures on each of the levels. I had hoped for that but now in retrospect that would have taken away from valuable time needed to complete the levels. I am sure there are additional levels in the CE version as well. Well, I really found this challenging and a good compliment to the other Elven Legends games & those who like TM.

I was a little hesitant in picking this game because I typically like Time Management and Adventure games. Though these genres have replay value, I find myself drawn to games lately that I can play over and over. This is one of them. Believe me, it's difficult in timed mode. My only complaint is that there isn't enough time! I suspect that it can be accomplished, like most timed games, with perseverance. Wood, tile and paper montages make it pleasant play. I recommend this game for puzzle lovers and those who want a relaxing (or not) diversion from werewolves, witches brews, and spells.
