This wasn't a totally horrible game, but for me it just didn't do it. I played about 20 min on advanced level. You can play casual or advanced and when you click on them, there is no description of the difference between them. All the HOS are indicated on the advanced level. While I did not play long enough to play any mini games (if there are any), I found the HOS and game play in general to be a bit too easy for my taste. I prefer a little bit more of a challenge and would expect the advanced level to not highlight the HOS. In general I really don't pay attention to the storyline in these games so I went middle of the road there with my rating. I found there were just way too many cut scenes and was grateful that they could be skipped. The couple I did read seemed to be storyline only and really didn't give any clues. I also don't play with sound on so no comments there, but I didn't find the graphics up to par with some of the other games out there. If you don't mind the multiple storylines popping up and would like a more laid back, easier HO game, then you might enjoy this one.
I don't recommend this game.

This game was just okay at best. It wasn't very challenging for one and there were way TOO many HOS. I mean literally you would find something, use it then boom, there's another HOS. No real adventure to it. Someone who doesn't care for more of a challenge might like it or if you don't go cross eyed from looking at a succession of HOS.
I don't recommend this game.

Was that bad, The cheap, grainy graphics alone make it not even worth $2.99. I literally only played 8 minutes before exiting and uninstalling. Not up to par compared with what other game developers are coming out with.
I don't recommend this game.

I purchased this game without playing the demo based on how much I liked the other Awakening games. This one had too many things that annoyed me and I learned that just because you liked one chapter in a game series, you may not like subsequent one. You couldn't always interact with something until you interacted with something else first in a different area which created a LOT of going back and forth. That made me wander around wondering what I missed only to find out I was just in a room a few minutes ago and was unable to interact with the item I needed. That made the game feel like it took forever. I actually gave up towards the end because it was no fun going back and forth between 4 rooms for an hour! Many of the mini games were poorly explained. Some had a simple sentence (do A to get B), your actions with the game reflect the instructions, but the desired result is definitely not happening. Skipped through several of those. Try the demo before you buy if you played the other Awakening games and like them
I don't recommend this game.

While I do like playing games like this as a change of pace, it was just to easy with absolutely no challenge at all. This game might appeal to children. If you want something different and super easy as a change of pace, then you might like this game. Shaban is a way better game and offers a challenge.
I don't recommend this game.

I was really enjoying this game until I reach Claudius vs. Hero (see walk through). They made this level way too difficult. There are several music notes to click before they disappear and each time they increase in number. This would be possible if there wasn't a slowly waggling cursor and if they did not show up for a split second. Sure you can click the first one, but the subsequent one has 3, and then 4, an eventually up to 5 notes. There is no room for clicking error and oh yeah, the notes move around a little also so you have a split second to click a moving target accurately the first time. I usually like these types of games because they make you think, but this level was a sheer test of how fast you can click. The developers screwed up what started as a very enjoyable game. What a waste of money!
I don't recommend this game.

I was literally 2 minutes into the game when I exited out and deleted it! The graphics were horrible and the screen scrolled as you moved your cursor which is so irritating. Not even worth trying the demo.
I don't recommend this game.

The courser lags some when you interact with moving objects. I play on a Samsung laptop running Windows 7 professional so unsure if it is a game glitch or a Windows thing. Other than that I found the game fun. Graphics were great and the level of challenge was perfect to me, not ridiculously hard like some other games.
I recommend this game!

Within the first 5 minutes all I could do it wander between 2 rooms with nothing to use on any of the active areas. After 15 min, I clicked the hint which told me to look elsewhere?! Terrible game.
I don't recommend this game.

There is a lot of repetition in this game going between certain areas to gather resources to build/upgrade stuff. Wasn't bad and I did play the entire demo, but not enough of a challenge for me to buy.
I don't recommend this game.
