Too many dialogue boxes

I am a bit conflicted about this game. I liked the hidden object and puzzle challenges but I hate the constant dialogue boxes and in the trial ended up not reading them at all. Just clicked through them. This means you do not know if you have missed something. I am not sure if I will buy it. It was not a difficult game but as others have said it is very old school but that is a nice change.

The music is peaceful and relaxing and the challenge is just a level above the last game. You really have to think about matching the gems. You also have to upgrade the chest so that you can build the whole castle. I really like this game and found myself playing for ages. You just want to get a "Perfect" score
I recommend this game!

As another reviewer has noted this game is not really challenging but sometimes you just want something easy and peaceful. The music is very pleasant and the scenes are colourful and easy on the eye. This is a relaxing HO with other puzzles as well, none difficult, but a pleasant way to while away some time. I liked it
I recommend this game!

This game looks really nice and promised much but as I played it and got to level 99 I had to say I do not see the point. There does not appear to be any challenges to meet and beat, build anything as in some others. You just play hands and have the usual cards that you have to get rid of to continue. I was not impressed I have to say. Shame as the music was not offensive and the look was very nice. Not sure if I will bother going on with it.
I don't recommend this game.

I read the 2 reviews and decided to try it anyway. It was a Magnussoft game and they can be quite fundamental in their approach. The standard pick resources and get to the end of the level. There was nothing interesting in the game, the visuals or the music. Did not like it.
I don't recommend this game.
Get ready for a wild adventure across ancient Egypt full of ancient relics and mysterious artifacts.

I read all of the reviews but still thought I would play the demo. What a terrible game. It is so boring and like other reviewers I had to turn off the sound effect and turn the music way down. This has absolutely nothing new and just collecting resources and upgrading buildings. No interesting twists at all. Needless to say I am not buying this game. The developers need to get some imagination!!!
I don't recommend this game.
An exciting time management journey through a fairytale kingdom!

I found the music tiresome and the game play less than interesting. It was same old same old with collecting supplies and building things with no real challenge. I just almost fell asleep through the try out and decided that I did not have that many years left to spend on such an uninteresting game
I don't recommend this game.

I downloaded this game not knowing exactly what it was about and now I am hooked. Having to build up magic to be able to improve buildings and get rid of the cursed areas plus selling goods to make money and try to keep the inventory at a manageable level really makes you think. I can't help but buy pearls to increase the inventory level but it just keeps filling up. Sending off balloons and exploring the underwater areas is also fun and gets you amber to continue to upgrade everything. I wish I had realised earlier that the alchemist bench converts the cursed amber but now I have it working flat out!
I love this one and will keep on going till I reach the end if there is one.
Great strategy game

I was skeptical when I bought this one but all my doubts were assuaged. This has a good story line and challenges like Adelantado Trilogy. You are not sure where you are going till you open up each area and then you need to meet targets to get to the next one. I am really enjoying this. It is the best Time Management game I have played for absolute ages. Thank you to the developers for giving us something that is not just about gathering resources
I recommend this game!

The story line is really good, chasing and trying to catch the pirates and get the books. The characters are really well programmed. They look quite sophisticated. All the graphics are really high quality and that is what you want in a new game. The music is understated and that is good because some games it is just over the top. I really like this one
I recommend this game!
