Note to Deana M: Welcome back! Although I generally enjoy games developed by Sunward, this particular game left me feeling somewhat frustrated. This game was a mix of mythology and archaeology, which is a favorite sub-genre of mine. Still this game fell short! The storyline was unoriginal, there were touchscreen sensitivity issues and the gameplay seemed dated. The collectibles were extremely simple to locate. The HO puzzles consisted mainly of wordlists. The mini-games and puzzles definitely had a variety but none were novel or unique, and many were of the boring rotational genre. Most were extremely easy and presented no actual challenge. The graphics were pretty but lacked visual acuity. Each location had enjoyable tasks to accomplish; however there weren’t a plethora at every location. The game did have a bonus adventure; however the total gameplay time was quite brief inclusive of said adventure. I wouldn’t say that this was a terrible game but it was only a little better than average. Therefore my true review will be 3.5 stars. I deducted stars mainly due to touch screen sensitivity issues when trying to utilize inventory items, and for the banal nature of the game in general. I certainly hope that the next offering from Artifex Mundi is from a different developer for a change. Happy gaming everyone!
