What a weak and boring story line. The whole game you are searching for batteries in different locations. No action, no story, just HO Scenes and mini games. MariaGlorum was once one of my favorite developers, I am really disappointed lately and will not purchase it anymore.
It started good, but then went downhill. In the beginning story started with an eerie hotel, scary happenings and after that you are strolling around, collecting here and there sth. You loose a lot of time in each scene doing boring things, I started thinking., hey, what am I looking for. Font of scripts is almost unreadable. Surrounding noise and music are terrible, I turned them off. Bying this game was a big mistake.
Enjoyed playing the new Elephant Halloween game. On the good side: funny and nice mini games, colourful bright 3-D locations, lots of spooky decorations, not too much forth and back. This was bad: low and boring story-line (how Long do we have to save or follow hostages? I am so tired of these stupid Monsters), not at all eerie.
You pass a mysterious gate ending up in a temple world, where you have to solve several adventures/puzzles. A good 3 plus for this game. Graphics are blurry, Story line is good but not new or innovative. You get the usual from this developer. Cut Scenes are better than in other games. Voice over is good, but could be less - no need to explain and comment everything. Music I liked very much - finally sth. different. Overall a good game.
Very disappointing game. There is too much talk, dialogues are stupid, storyline is zero, some puzzles did nt work or there was not much explaining. I got very quickly bored, everything as usual, nothing new or challenging. Save your money.
In my opinion a really excellent game, Mariaglorum did a good job. From the first moment your attention is kept by the story and atmosphere: graphics are dark, but very detailed with excellent environment sound (rain, birds etc). Strange things are going on in town and you have to find out who is behind all this. The little scarecrow helper (already appeared in Wicked Harvest) comes back - and you are going to have some funny moments with him. Very nice mini games. I highly recommend League of Light, the Gatherer CE.
I almost finished the SE Version and I must say: Overall it is not good. Like in all Eipix games there is too much talking, People look alike and they don t say anything interesting, Voice over always the same, annoying. Story line is boring, visual scenes are rotten rooms with lots of rabbish. You are running around and nothing makes sense. I really cannot recommand Phantasmat (earlier it was once an excellent game).
Despite all the good reviews, - my judgement is more bad than good. Visual/sound quality is excellent, but that doesn`t make a great game. The big lack of the game is its story line, It is not a Sci Fi-game, there are some elements of Sci Fi, but overall you go here and there: travelling to the Wild West (how bad; the monster costume), looking around in a fifties cafe, snooping around the native american camp. To make it short: devs mixed up everything and out came a really bad story, Additionallly it became quite boring after a while. There was a lot a lot a lot talking, sometimes like a movie ( hey guys I want to PLAY). I expected more from these devs (queen of flames was very good). "Eternal Journey New Atlantis" was much better, an excellent SciFi game, but unfortunately never continued.
´Typical ERS game. It has good visual effects and graphics. But the storyline is terrible. There was no red line and nothing new. All mixed up: time travel, fairy tale elements (tired of it), puzzles like usual (mostly pick up tiles and stick them together). ERS can do better.
