This is a great TM game. Until I got to bonus level 6, I would have given 5 stars. I've played this level at least 40 times, and find it all but impossible to get 3 stars. I've watched the u tube video 10 times to try and determine how to beat this level, but cannot beat it.
I love a challenge, but it is disheartening to get to a level (and from reading forum, future levels are impossible as well) only to find you will never get 3 stars no matter what you do. I wish developers would understand that TM lovers want the challenge, but get discouraged and turn against the game when faced with something that only the developers can beat.
All that said, until I got to bonus level 6, this was a 5 star game. Too bad, because I love TM games, I just don't need the frustration of a game that is next to impossible to beat.
I recommend this game!

I had originally posted I would not recommend this game. I was totally frustrated regarding the challenges at the beginning. BFG was kind enough to remove that review as I have now changed my mind BIG TIME!!!
Yes, this game is extremely challenging. Yes, there are times where it is not clear what to do. Yes, this game will take a great deal of time to complete .
But, isn't that what a really great time management game is all about? It is also a strategy game; you must determine the strategy of not only which way to go, but which artifacts, magic runes, and spells to use to complete each level. The further along you go, the more complicated and challenging.
Yet, there is a great deal of satisfaction once a level is won.
Yet, there is a great deal of satisfaction once a level is won.
Those of us who absolutely TM games often complain about the lack of these games. Then, a developer such as this, who is known for their outstanding TM games gives us we want, and we still complain, we tend to complain they are too hard, too challenging without truly giving them a chance.
I will say, yes, this game is not one for a beginner TM players (play this series in order, and it will make more sense and become a tad bit easier). But, I hang my head in shame for originally not recommending this game.
I don't think people realize the level of work that goes into developing a time management game. Every single movement, every single path, strategy, artifact/spell/magic rune has to work perfectly when chosen. Add to the myriad choices players make, the program must "think" to make it work or not work. Add to that the time challenge. Then, after all the development, there are hours and hours and hours of testing to ensure that all components work as they should.
So, all that said, I highly recommend this game, especially for seasoned TM players. For those new to TM games, do this series in sequence as previously suggested. For those who love this type of game, I hope you try, like and recommend the game. Otherwise, one cannot complain when developers are hesitant to put in the time/expense to give us TM games if we don't buy them. Just sayin' ...
I recommend this game!

I love games from the developer. However, this one is ridiculous! There is no way to get 3 stars every level. I enjoy the story line, but am frustrated beyond belief in how hard it is to get 3 stars AND find that stupid hamster!!! The only reason I keep playing is to see how the story works out. I can guarantee if the next game from this developer shows signs of this level of difficulty, I won't be buying because I won't give a ... well, I won't care what the story line is. I am an expert at TMG, but this one is unfrigging believable! GRRRRRR!!!! I only recommend this game to anyone who doesn't care if they make 3 stars or not.
I don't recommend this game.

I was pleasantly surprised to see a TMG this morning, but even more, I was absolutely delighted to see Rescue Team!
This is the best Rescue Team offering to date. New challenges without being impossible, fun to play, and love the new cable car. Still has the usual cranes, firemen, doctors, boats and helicopters, but IMHO, they keep the fun associated with this series.
The have the achievements, and as in the past, some are quite difficult to achieve. But, isn't that part of the fun and challenge? Also includes using points to build up a "city" (for lack of a better word).
I look forward to completing the game, reaching 3 stars on each level, and tackling those achievements. I highly recommend this game if you like time management games.

As someone who really loves TM games, I was very happy to see Aztec Skulls. No, it isn't as challenging or as long as Adelantado, but I thoroughly enjoyed playing.
I waited until I completed the game to make my review because too many times, I've given 5 stars but as I got further into the game, I found I should have waited.
I've completed it and loved every minute! The challenge is there for sure, especially trying to find the hidden treasures. There were several levels I had to play a number of times in order to get 3 stars, but I never felt that it was impossible to achieve.
My only disappointment is that the game ended. I can't complain about the length of the game as it was not a CE even though it did have a bonus level (which was only one level rather than the 10 in each of the other "books"). I felt the length of the game was more than adequate as a non-CE game.
As a true fan of TM games, this did not disappoint in any way. I guess some expect a lot more; what I'm not sure. But, I will be replaying this one over and over!
BFG .... more like this please!!
I recommend this game!

I almost jumped for joy (well, at my age, maybe not too high) when I saw another time-management game! What? Isn't this like the 2nd one in like a week or so? Hallelujah!
What is really great about this game is that it is both fun and challenging. I don't care for TM games that are so challenging, that you couldn't make 3 stars if they gave you 2 more more minutes, but this game has caused me to have to replay a number of levels before I was able to get the 3 stars (and find the mouse in each level). Yet, I wasn't frustrated as I have been in games as mentioned above. This game is neither too easy nor too hard, just as I have come to expect from the developer.
Kudos BFG for presenting a fun/challenging TM game, not only once this month, but twice (Viking Brothers 2)!!! Excuse me while I go continue cooking while working on my law degree;)
I recommend this game!

I have been playing old time management games for days because I am so sick of the HOGs that assault us on a daily basis from BFG (not their fault; they can only give what they receive).
I couldn't believe my eyes this morning when I say Incredible Dracula as the game of the day (doing happy dance)!!!
I absolutely love Incredible Dracula games! I was a bit bummed after the last one because the title kind of insinuated that was the final game (The Last Call) , but HALLELUJAH, I was mistaken!
I am obsessed with TM games, and this game does not disappoint. Yes, it is similar to previous games, but so what. Can anyone say that the never ending, mind-numbing HOG games assaulting us on a daily basis is not similar to every other HOG that "hogs" the daily games? I think not. I find this game challenging and fun. Add to trying to beat the clock the challenge of finding the "hidden" statues, pet treats, etc. Yep, great game!
You don't like TM games ... good for you. But, are you not like walking zombies watching the dark, depressing HOGs you have to choose from (exception: Christmas Stories The Gift of Magi)? Give us TM players a break. Ignore the game and wait for the next repetitive HOG from the developers that have that market down pat.
In the time, I'm going to enjoy every time challenge provided with this fun game. Thank you BFG!!! MORE TM GAMES PLEASE!! :D
I recommend this game!

Rescue Team has rescued me from the never-ending assault of dreary/depressing HOGs. I was really excited the day I opened BFG and saw a time management game! And, it was a Rescue Team TMG!! I have enjoyed every release in this series and this one doesn't disappoint.
At first, I was like, "This is impossible to get 3 stars!!! No way am I buying this game if I don't stand a chance!" But, then I discovered the "multi-click mode" and the strategy guide (I don't know how anyone can get 3 stars with the "normal mode" and I consider myself an expert at TMG). Now, I have the ability to try and figure it out on my own or use the guide if I'm stumped.
Even with the guide and multi-click option, the levels get progressively more challenging, but that is why I love TMG games. The challenge of beating the clock is what draws me to these games. If that challenge doesn't appeal to one, they can always use the relax mode. This game will keep me going for hours!
Thank you BFG for providing a challenging, fun TMG!! More please! :D

I absolutely love TM games and was excited to finally see another TM game on BFG. While I enjoy playing the game, it is no where near Incredible Dracula. I will order it with one of the specials, I will play it to the end, but I'm not excited about this game.
I know that TM games take hours and hours and hours of development and testing before release, so I give kudos to the development/testing team for spending the time to give us this game. And, for that I thank you.
I am afraid we will see fewer and fewer TM games because of the time it takes to develop this type of game. I'll keep looking for them and hoping for the best. In the meantime, I will play this one in hopes of a new TM soon.
Having said all that, I would rather have a mediocre TM game than the endless, same ol' HOG games that seem to be non-stop on BFG. Same people giving those games 5 stars every time, but if you read their reviews, they say they will wait for the SE game. Please, BFG, more TM games ... PUHLEZE!!!
I recommend this game!

I have been waiting and waiting and waiting for this game to finally come to BFG! And, it does not disappoint! The fun continues with as many challenges & collectibles as Incredible Dracula 1.
I did find the beginning levels not as challenging, but I knew as I moved through that I would be facing levels I would have to play over and over and over to finally get 3 stars. And, I was right. Doesn't bother me; I love the challenge.
As far as the price, one could always wait until a special appears from BFG. And, this game as a Collector's Edition is worth the price. There are so many levels that the regular game will not provide. Also, the Strategy Guide is a must to complete some of the levels. So, yeah, if you don't want to wait for the specials, then as far as I'm concerned this game is worth the CE price. Hours and hours and hours of challenges and fun.
Thank you BFG!!! If you loved the first Incredible Dracula, you'll love this one as well. Just sayin...
