Many of the puzzles are difficult or don't really seem like puzzles. You often aren't told what to do and just have to walk around clicking on things until you figure it out. This version includes a commentary by the game makers which is pretty cool but if you don't like spoilers, wait to read it until AFTER you have finished each scene. The main character is pretty endearing.
The game is a bit darker than it should be and the timing has to be perfect but over all I enjoyed playing the game. I will admit though dont miss anything or you could end up in an endless loop, I dont know if it was an error but I ran in circles until I uninstalled the game. I started over and had no issues from then on.I am looking forward to part 3 and starting it after I finish this review.
Endless Legend is a mix of science fiction and fantasy, resembling Civlization a great deal. You found cities, improve them and expand them as you build for the city and your units for exploration, defense and attack. Your civilization can only build a few units of its own, as the game progress you can however assimilate factions living around you and then build their units too. All units can be improved and post updated as well, being of the basic types, there are no dedicated intelligence units and no machinery despite the clear science fiction element.
You also have heroes, that can lead armies or govern cities. They advance to new levels as the game goes on and you have the classical types such as tank, range, magic, heal. Around the world you can find small quests and chains for different rewards, something that really adds depth to the game. Sea travels are tranportations only, there seems to be no naval warfare at all. Which actually is for the better.
Battles are of a whole new level. You fight with armies in the existing terrain, ground level, cities, nearby support, everything counts as you place and attack or defend in brief tactical battles. This part is perhaps the best of the game. Diplomatics seems to need some vital injections to come alive for example. I had liked to see a stronger emphasis on playing it cool and smart, using intelligence and scouting troups more, to gain advantages. A huge plus though is the really different civilizations you can play, all with their own advantages and disadvantages, allowing you to find the or those that suit your playstyle the best.
If you like Civilization you should love this game. The whole world is beautiful, mapped out with many animations and sounds all over the place. This also makes for the greatest drawback of the game, once you've progressed with your own civilized continent, sharing maps with allies, you might also get some serious lag. And that's not just graphical, the whole game seems to compute slower and when winter hits with its animated winds, the game can become a pain to get through.
This is my first Steam based game, and Steam works just fine.
I've played the game for a while, I really like this very much, but unfortunately it crashes a lot even with low graphic, I don't know what to do, I had to delete a few saves too, totally unaccetable! I always loved the M&M and HoM&M saga but I hate when I discover much problems like this!
This game plays easily but I have had three crashes so far and I am still on the second world. I rarely have to restart my computer so I don't know what the problem is with this game.
I bought this game on black friday sale and found it to be reasonably satisifying. Graphics are beautiful and the storyline is good. It is a combination of HOG and 1st person player. There is a nice surprise at the end. The game can offer about 2 nights worth of game play or one night if you are really determined to finish it.
This game is HARD if you play on the original difficulty but still manages to be fun and addictive. And once you finally finish each scene, you feel extremely proud to have finally done it. (I got through one on the first try and was super proud!)
This EP adds a lot of new gaming choices, including the ability to make your Sim supernatural in Create a Sim or during gameplay. When paired with Island Paradise EP, you can also create a mermaid but that must be done in game. If you want to play a normal game and have this EP, be sure to turn off supernatural creatures in world settings. Sometimes zombies try to attack your Sims. It is very annoying and also kind of glitchy.
A great addition to the Virtual Villagers series, this is probably in my top 3 of the series. (Along with New Believers & the original.) Highly recommend.
This EP didn't offer much in the way of new content. I mean, yes, you have dragons and new clothes but it got pretty old fast. If you're really into dragons and such, you might not get bored but if you aren't...
This game seems fun but it is so difficult to manuever and what you are supposed to do is so confusing that it is extremely difficult to actually play. I would like to see an updated version.
I'm a big Nancy Drew fan and this is one of my favorites (White Wolf is the best, imo). I am a fan of the mini games (one of which also reappears in Shattered Medallion) and I think the story on this one is pretty great. I actually bought this twice after I lost the first one (physical copy) and it went on sale here. Definitely recommend if you are a ND fan.
This game is done really well, with smooth graphics and gameplay. The only problem that I have with it is that the contols are a little weird. But other than that it's great
Great storyline, old fashioned movement, and good research make GK good enough to play again after twenty years. Hope more of the great old games like Ultima are brought back.
The best part of this game is the artwork. It is just so much fun to look at, that even if the puzzles weren't as much fun, it would still be an enjoyable way to pass the time. It is for me, a good compromise between fun and challenging. Most of the games are fairly easy to figure out (with a couple of exceptions) and take just enough time to while away a couple of rainy afternoons, without being so challenging as to be frustrating. Like most adventure games, I turned the music off and listened to my own, but the tunes aren't bad, just repetitive. I have a PS3 for when I really want to "game," so on the Mac and iPad I'm more looking for a way to relax, and Tiny Bang Story is a GREAT way to just relax and enjoy the experience.
Bought it since there's a "Chopin" in the name, but
Bought it since there's a "Chopin" in the name, but the game seems to be nothing about Chopin (despite of the cartoons). And there seems to be little relationship with playing piano at all. So sorry. Wish I've not bought it or played it.
Cute game, with a nice story line. Great graphics. For the price, it's really worth purchasing. I've played it a few times now, and still haven't gotten bored. One funny thing that I noticed, the voice of the main character sounds a little like "Peg" from Married With Children!
