This game is so cute! If you enjoy building/time management games similar to Royal Envoy, you'll probably like this game. The graphics are adorable! The music is cute, but not too intrusive. The gameplay is of the "collect resources, build/fix things" variety, but it's fun. You can also collect various artifacts in the levels. Some are hidden until you remove fog by building totems and such. The best part of this game is that there are four difficulties to choose from. One is even untimed, in case you dislike timed games.
This game just does not seem like Azada. It's mostly an adventure game with some puzzles thrown in. However, the puzzles are fairly easy compared to the puzzles in previous Azada games. I expected lots of puzzles with varying difficulty, but none of them were very hard at all. The music is fine. The graphics are very nice. The story is pretty convoluted and odd. I understand that the world of Azada is strange, but the story just doesn't quite make sense. Big Fish "farmed" this game out to another developer, for some reason, so it just does not feel the same. I would not recommend the collector's edition. Perhaps the standard edition, but even then, I'm not so sure. For some reason I just did not enjoy this game.
Return once more to the haunted grounds of Ravenhearst Manor to uncover new details about this poignant saga. What you find could very well be the final chapter of this riveting story-if you escape.
While this game is pretty good, it still can't beat MCF: Return to Ravenhearst or MCF: Dire Grove. Those two are fantastic. This game? Good, but not great. The music is nice. The graphics are also really well done. The hidden object scenes are not exactly "hidden." They contain morphing objects that you must spot. At first this is fun, but it got a little old toward the end of the game. The story is weird, to say the least. And not in a good way. I didn't find it scary at all. Some of it is actually pretty gross. Toward the end of the game I found myself finally getting into the story, but it took quite a while. The puzzles in this game were not nearly as challenging as in previous games, which was disappointing. I would not recommend purchasing the CE. There just isn't enough extra content to warrant paying the extra money. Still, if you love the MCF games, getting the SE is probably worth your time and money.
This game follows the previous game in style and in gameplay. There are a few changes, though, and some of them are not for the better. In particular, the timer runs out rather quickly. Another not-so-great feature is that you MUST click the items (wood, food, coins) in order to collect them. If you don't, they'll vanish. I don't know why they changed this, because now you're almost constantly clicking. It's pretty tedious.
