Baracus Well-Known Member Jun 19, 2009 1,023 0 36 UK http://www.hatenintendo.co.uk #8 Baracus, Dec 20, 2012 Yep. Only played about 30 mins whilst commuting back from a meeting today. First impressions are very good. Awesome scenery, nice animations, good voice overs. I'm only a few puzzles in, and a bit stuck already but I didn't try that hard to solve it yet. Not sure if there are hints but I tend not to use them in adventures (call me old-skool, or just old). For the price it's a serious bargain! (Playing on Ipad4 btw so can't say about performance on other devices yet) Xexist Well-Known Member May 6, 2010 2,440 1 0 Canada #9 Xexist, Dec 20, 2012 So before I instabuy this... what exactly kinda game is it? hidden object? point and click adventure? Similar to any other existing games? Screens look pretty good and Universal as well! Ayjona Well-Known Member Sep 8, 2009 3,295 21 38 Freelance journalist and writer, amateur musician Stockholm, Sweden #10 Ayjona, Dec 20, 2012 Point and click, akin to Tales of Monkey Island, Sam and Max: Beyond Time and Space and The Walking Dead for iOS. And, might I add, looking mighty awesome! Surprised it hasn't generated a bigger hype. In between this, three games bought at sale prices tonight, Ravensword: Shadowlands, possibly Anomaly Korea, and the Humble Indie Bundle 7 that had the disrespectful disregard to launch on an already awesome night, I hardly know even what game to launch first...

With my backlog I should be able to play it by the time it goes free next Christmas. Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #15 Exact-Psience, Dec 20, 2012 Bought it as well, but not able to play it yet. This week is just crazy good for releases. Georgina Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Jan 30, 2010 361 7 18 Sydney #16 Georgina, Dec 20, 2012 Game Impressions I'm about thirty minutes in, and this is fantastic! It reminds me a lot of the classic LucasArts games, and not only because it has a similar Caribbean feel to Monkey Island. The graphics are great, the way the puzzles are unfolding is nice (several going at once so you don't get stuck on one thing) and both the graphics and the voice acting are top notch. This seems like a total bargain. I'm curious how long it is, but with a game this good, even a couple of hours' playtime will be well worth it. Cheers. Appletini Well-Known Member Jan 8, 2011 2,564 0 0 Ankh-Morpork #17 Appletini, Dec 20, 2012 The stylised African mask motif does lend a decidedly Grim Fandango-esque air to the proceedings. coconutxyz Member Jul 8, 2011 13 0 0 #18 coconutxyz, Dec 20, 2012 maybe i should downgrade, it says 4.3 or never Hobbsicle Well-Known Member Feb 28, 2011 216 0 16 #19 Hobbsicle, Dec 20, 2012 Had no idea they were porting this to iOS. Played this one on PC. Highly recommended. This has always been kind of an under-the-radar game for some reason, although I believe it did get some awards or at least good reviews. Looking forward to episode 2. Hobbsicle Well-Known Member Feb 28, 2011 216 0 16 #20 Hobbsicle, Dec 20, 2012 If I remember right, it's pretty comparable to the length of a Telltale game episode. Maybe even a touch longer? Regardless, definitely worth more than 99 cents. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
