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 recommend this 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!

I like this series of games very much but the amount of clicking you have to do can start to make it a bit tedious. The graphics, characters and music is great but the clicking starts to wear you down after a while. I will probably finish the game but I can only take it in small doses
I recommend this game!

I just could not get to like this one. It does seem to be a bit of Hercules and Royal Envoy so nothing new but there is no likeability at all. The music is horrible and the voice over grates on you.
Nothing new to see here. I will not be buying this one
I don't recommend this game.

I read the reviews of others and decided to have a go at this one. It is great. Bought it after I finished the demo. The puzzles and HO scenes are just that bit different and so it is not same old same old. It is not boring. The visuals are really good and it is easy to follow. I always like finding extra things like the dominoes in this one and morphing objects. I highly recommend this game to anyone

One really big thing for me in this game is the fact that you cannot line up tasks. If all workers are doing something you can't queue anything else and that drives me crazy.
I just exited the level I was on today cos I could not stand it any longer. I might get back to it one day but not in the short term. Just not good enough
I don't recommend this game.

I have all of the other Moai games. They have become more and more difficult as each new game came out but this one is unbelievable. Level 1 only just got gold before the time ran out. Level 2, have not been able to get gold yet and played it 4 times. Missed out by about 3 secs on the last try.
Because it is so incredibly challenging that can take the enjoyment out of it so I will leave it for a while and then go back to it.
The goals are the same as the last one so no change there. I am in 2 minds about it but if you are a Beginner don't bother.
If only it had some new features that made you feel you wanted to keep going but there aren't.
I might get back to it when I have absolutely nothing else!
I don't recommend this game.

It is really nice to play a game that is not full of nasty things. This is a fantasy game full of challenges and finding things and I really like it.
The graphics are beautiful and detailed. It is lovely to look at and the music is easy on the ear.
I am loving it!

This cannot call itself a follow on to the Adelantado Trilogy games. They were unique and I play them over and over again. This game is just Roads of Rome with the name Adelantado. So incredibly disappointing.
I wish the original developers of the Adelantado Trilogy would do another series in the same style.
This one is rubbish
I don't recommend this game.
