This game is by far the best one I have played in a long time.
I was hooked from the moment I started and it took me several days to finish it.
If you like to explore collect and work on tasks without timelimit than this is the right game for you. I love playing games without a timer and just relax. You can choose where to go and what to do, which task to fullfill. And no shortage of supplies.
But be aware: you will hardly be able to leave your chair for hours when you start playing - very addicting and fun!

Charming and familiar characters, improved game play and finally a relaxed mode - they did everything right in this new release of the Royal Envoy series.
The free hour was over so fast, that I could not believe it really was an hour. I will definetly buy this CE, as I also prefer it to the crown for the kingdom version. I was not so keen on that election story and the villain. In this one you will explore Islandshire and the islands are more as in previous versions.
I played the previous versions over and over again as there is hardly a game as brilliant as this one.
The new levels in this game bring a good amount of challenge via strategie and options to play the levels - I found it very interesting to figure out the right strategie. And I was not always able to get the three stars immediately as I was too excited to try the different options.
So it is perfect for beginners and for those who thought they knew every strategie on this game.
And I also like the new look of the houses and how it improves with the ugrades.
And my favourite character - the blue elefant is back as well!
I love the happy workers and their comments, which surprisingly dont become annoying (as it often does in other games where they use is too much)
A very well constructed and performed game!
I would give 10 out of 5 Stars!

If I had not known the previous MKFP - I probably would not have been so dissapointed. I just would not finish the demo and forget about it - but loving and still playing the previous - it is hard to find this one acceptable.
1.)The graphics are taken back to a childish cartoon level instead of adding more details or sharper lines that would make them more appealing - there are some good examples out to see how good graphic developement works (the adelantado series etc..) -
3.) The dragons are annoying and disrupting the game play
4.) The story line is cheap and not funny at all - charming and decent funny characters can be the spice in a game.
5.) The overal look on some of the scenes became unclear, like you dont know if you had already fixed a bridge, as it still looks the same - you often hit decorative (irritating) bushes or stuff instead of what is meant to be source....
...sorry to say this - but - I recommend going back to MPFK 1-3 They are great and became a league on its own -
and forget about this one!

You can actually play it without any charges - it works really well with some strategie.
I've played it for weeks without spending any cent. But your patience will be tested as you'll have to wait hours for your plants to grow etc. - and this is the point where you might feel tempted to spend money for more gold coins that will speed up the growth of the vegetables etc. So you really have to plan your actions and time. And if you decide to spend a dollar or two you are able to play a very long time if you're doing well with the strategie.
I've spent the usual game credits for games I just played for 9-10 hours and then the game was done as I was through all levels and that's it.
What I like about this kind of games it continues on and on with new challenges.
What I dislike, and this is the only reason why I did not gave 5 Stars is: I found myself much more hooked on this one as on other games even during the day as you plan your actions to a specific time and I dont wanna have a game on my schedule. So the addiction factor to this one can become unhealthy if you're not cautious.

If you like board games - this might be a nice addition. I found it very relaxing and interesting, without skulls, villains or dark scenes or other excitements.
As a different genre to HOG, building games or timemanagment it is quite interesting. I liked Trade Mania 1 and played it many times. It is monopoly style with some more features like trading goods.
In Trade Mania 2 there are some new features like a casino minigame, which I really enjoyed and new opportunities for buildings like supermarkets or factorys. The graphics also improved, so its worth a game credit for me, as I know I will be able to play it over and over again like I did with TM1 before.

Another lovely game from Playrix, wich garanties absolute top level games - this is my experience so far. And I was not dissapointed with this one. Gardenscape2 is cute, relaxing and very well done. I am not that much into Hidden Object games, but this one captured my attention because it is charming and the idea of earning money via HOS and spending it on creating a new garden/house or whatever is great. So you get a reward for the time you invested. I am so glad that Austin is back.
I recommend this game!

I just love this characters, they make me lough everytime I watch them. Beautiful and clear HOS. And cute storyline.
more building options and less HOS would be great, but the high quality you get from this developers are always worth the price

This became one of my favorites to play. I like the fact that
- you can explore without time stress
- collect many different things during the game and new things appear when you reach a new skill
- you can navigate with the map
- have a lot of freedom in deciding which task you want to complete first
- you can buy and sell everything you need at any time, so you dont have to worry to loose something you need.
There are some things as well, that could be improved as other mentioned before - but overall a lovely, different game

I really liked this one. The HOS are not very difficult or challenging, so it is more a good way to relax and have fun.
I liked the fact that you have many task outside the HOS - collecting things, barter with the folks that appear - and earn stars, and points to enter a new level. The fact that it is free is great - so you can start and learn the game and if you like you're able to buy stars or points with real money. The rates are faire and so you will not spent a lot if you plan your strategie well, or none if your patient enough to wait until the score refills on its own. Great additon to the games that already excists.

I played other games of this series over and over again, and wasn't disappointed with this one. Still very good - graphics and sounds are very good and the gameplay is different and unique. And to get all those historical informations is like having bonus material without collectors editions... thumbs up !!!
I recommend this game!
