The voice acting is abysmal. I mean grade school play abysmal. I've heard better voice acting in discount electronics commercials.
The gameplay itself is too hard. Why do you need a stone to lift wood? You can't upgrade the castle at any point or you have to start over. They don't let you multi-click so there's a chain of actions to do. Instead you have to wait for your character to return to the castle THEN click. There's no boosts like speed, clock stop, etc.
Good game but do they even know their Norse Mythology?

Hel, the villain of the game, was in Norse mythology probably the most peaceful of the gods and goddesses. She was also Loki's daughter and only had one eye. Having her the villain and have two eyes took me right out of game play.
Don't get me wrong, overall it's still fun, but if you know anything about Norse myths, even the Marvel Comics versions, these details will bug you.
First off, I'll repeat my statement from my review of the "Chasing Love" one. Dracula should've married the princess. She's a lot better than his wife and he wouldn't be broke now. (Seriously? Dracula broke? He can just eat some drug cartel leaders and steal their money.)
Does anyone besides me get a whole "Fire bad, technology evil, Tesla was a witch" vibe from this storyline? I sure do. There's loads of reasons people might prefer looking at a cellphone to talking to people. From the person trying to talk to them has bad breath to the person trying to talk to them is extremely boring. And that's not counting all the people with social anxiety for whom a smartphone is a lifesaver. Besides, it's not like ignoring others is a new thing. Look at all the old photos where people would rather read a newspaper than have a conversation.
Also, what's up with that super racist depiction of a Chinese man in the collectable stickers? Not cool, guys.
I love time management games. I love vampires and Dracula in particular. But the Dracula in these games is whiner than Nick Knight and Louis du Pointe du Lac combined. The game still doesn't want to turn off tutorials, he married the wrong woman, and they're all around insulting. I pray there's no more in this series. Not unless the creators completely do a reboot and give us a Dracula who's menacing and bites the right gal.
First off on the "no big deal to others" category but a big deal to me, as a fat blonde I'm not happy that the "villain" in this is none other than a fat blonde. Hey, Count, did you know we have more blood than skinny chicks? You should've given the princess a chance rather than running away instantly.
But the real complaint is the play factor itself. Many times the game will NOT respond to my mouse clicks. And I don't mean on objects, I mean on things like skipping the tutorials (I KNOW how to play these types of games, I do NOT need a tutorial.) Or on restarting. I actually had to do "CTRL+ALT+DEL" in order to close out of the game at one point because it wouldn't even let me quit normally. And another time I had to do a hard reboot as it absolutely refused to close or respond. It's a seriously annoying glitch.
Also, when I turn off voices, I expect that the voices for the cut scenes to also be turned off. I can read faster than the voice actors can speak. I'd much rather read the cut scenes than listen to them.
I don't recommend this game.

It barely took me any time at all to beat this game. You don't move around a map like in other time management games. The quests are easily completed. It's just no fun.
I don't recommend this game.

What a horribly designed game! The controls are hard to use. It freezes a LOT. It takes forever to get anywhere on the quests. Oh, and finally when I had to reboot my computer it refused to open ever again. I finally had to uninstall it.
This was a horrible game. It would often ignore my clicks, would either be too slow in bringing in new people or too fast. The storyline is moronic as well. Thank God I got it for free rather than wasting real money on it.
I don't recommend this game.

I'm constantly having to uninstall and reinstall this game. Every so many levels it gives me error messages and refuses to work until I uninstall and reinstall it. I've had to do that close to ten times now. Rebooting my computer and running things like Scan Disk and Vipre doesn't help. Only the un/reinstall.

First off, what is it with this family? The twin sister is always saving everyone. Doesn't she ever get in trouble? What about her life? Did she never get married? Have kids of her own?
I guess she was too busy saving her dumb sister and equally dumb husband and son to have a life of her own.
So Brandon has grown up and apparently has an uncle in Stoneville our heroine doesn't know about. He also has a secret girlfriend who lives underground. A bunch of stuff happens that makes no real sense and nameless twin has to save her nephew, the town, and eventually the Stone Queen.
I guess, even though the first game said that these girls were identical twins of an evil wizard they're not identical in the brains department. And sadly it was the dumb one that bred.
Because the darn thing will just drive you batty. Venus wasn't married to Mars, she was married to Vulcan! She cheated on Vulcan all the time with Mars, however. And why would the main character want a cheated old cougar like her when there's plenty of young goddesses who'd remain faithful?
The constant interruptions by Zeus, Mars, and Hera drove me batty. If my workers went on strike one more time I was ready to start smiting them.
Mostly though I strongly disliked the whole "wooing Venus" thing. She was NOT married to Mars and gods or not, it's always wrong to break up a marriage. That never should have been part of the game.
