I am a big fan of Northern Tales and was very excited at the release of Oath to the Gods. However, it seems the essence of what made Northern Tales such a great game series seems to be lost in this chapter. Whilst the graphics and gameplay are crisp, clear and smooth, all the little nuances that made Northern Tales so much fun, are not present. Therefore, this has now become a 'run of the mill' time management game.
I don't recommend this game.

Absolutely love the next chapter of Roads of Rome!!!
Some new features work very well adding to the experience of the game.
Hidden objects hold just the right amount of challenge.
A huge hit for me!!!

A little repetitive, as level after level, has you doing exactly the same tasks, only a little harder to complete.
I gather a few are having problems ... my problem is, at level 33 you are required to defeat 3 guards. However, after completing the task, only 2 show on the 'task bar' making it impossible to complete the level! Very disappointing from such an accomplished dev!!!

I can not express the joy when I saw this little gem pop up today!! After a bit of a drought of decent HOP's this one hits the spot!
Great storyline and great scenes lead us through a tale of fairy mystery!
Enjoy guys!!!!

I was full of joy when I saw today's release and bought it immediately!! However, I feel a little let down as this is certainly not up to the usual Mystery Trackers standard.
I recommend this game!

The wait is over!! And I am not disappointed!! I am a huge fan of Grandma games and this is definitely their best yet. The ambience of the game itself very much reminds me of the early MFC games, especially with the familiar MFC theme tune constantly playing in the background.
Murders are aplenty, and many references/links to previous cases are in this game. If there was one criticism it would be the door puzzles are not up to the usual challenge ... which is a shame, however, it's still a cracking little addition to a much-loved series.

I love all the Roads of Rome game and was excited when I saw this little beauty pop up!
Everything that you would expect from a time management game, however, the only thing that spoilt it for me was the way the game sometimes often 'shuts down' in the middle of a level.

I was really excited when I spotted this game. However, if you are expecting the same level of standard as the other Hercules games, you will be very disappointed. Mundane and boring, graphics poor and storyline poor. A bit gutted really
I don't recommend this game.

I've been waiting for this game for what seems like an eternity!! From one of the best developers on the circuit! Miles above the usual standard of repetitiveness we have seen lately! My game of the year so far!!!

When this game was first released, I was a little 'put off' by some low ratings. However, one game doesn't fit all!! This is a little gem!! A real psychological thriller!! It's not a 'jump out of your skin at every corner' scary, but it keeps your interested tweaked as you explore a 'house of horrors'. Thank you for a great gaming start to the new year!!
I recommend this game!
