A FANTASY GAME WITH DRAGONS AND POTIONS

fromI wish the potion making instructions were better so I could be a better alchemist. I will never get my wings at this rate.

If you like fantasy games and mixing potions then Queen’s Quest V: Symphony of Death is sure to be a game that you will enjoy. To be honest I have never been a huge fan of the series but I do think that Symphony of Death is a very good game.

You play the game as an alchemist who has assisted the royal family in the past and as Symphony of Death begins you have been called to the court once again. However before you can be on your way you must go through those mundane tasks that all HOPA games seem to require before you get to the gist of the story. In this game we have several missing children who have been kidnapped as well as the traitorous queen now escaped from prison. Will you be able to find the children before it is too late?

The graphics appear at times to be quite sub-par and hazy while at other times they are excellent, crisp, and clear. Although I can live with the hazy graphics I did have difficulty with the potion instructions as we don’t see them in close-up and the numbers are very indistinct and tiny. I couldn’t distinguish between the numbers 1 and 2, or 2 and 3 as they were so small. On the plus side Brave Giant gives us a Custom setting that is more realistic with the lowest hint and skip times being 5 seconds rather than 10 or 15. Thank you for setting a lower bottom time that I can live with!

I love HOP scenes and there are some creative and well-designed ones in Symphony of Death. I enjoyed the way the scenes were set up and that you need to pay attention to find some items or you might need to use a hint. The puzzles seem to be more related to the mixing of potions which is okay but some of the instructions are difficult to follow. The major issue I had with the potion instructions is that they are really non-existent and I would not have known what to do on the first one without a lot of frustrating trial and error. Fortunately the light bulb clicked and it was easier to then complete the potions.

Queen’s Quest V Symphony of Death might really appeal to some gamers but for me it was rather boring and couldn’t hold my attention. Perhaps on another day when I am not struggling with a potion puzzle this game will move along at a faster pace, at least one can hope! Something that jumped out at me was the out of place voice acting for the sheriff who sounds like he was plucked from an old TV western rather than being a sheriff in a European country that actually had a royal family. That accent and my boredom with getting started in the game rather left me feeling blah about what most likely is a very good game. As always, I encourage you to play the demo since Queen’s Quest V: Symphony of Death might be a game you will love. Happy gaming! Show less

As a world-renowned Alchemist, the King has requested your services (shouldn't it be King's Quest V?) investigating the Missing Children case. One suspect has already been arrested, but it's highly unlikely he's responsible because he doesn't fit the profile. In fact, no one fits this particular profile because all the evidence collected points to something not human, at least not completely ...Show more

I quickly became bored with this game because not only did the storyline seem to drag on and on, but it was very predictable, I suspected where the plot was heading as soon as I met with the King. Not only did the storyline drag, but the mini-games were the same mini-games for each chapter, you would play the same game every time you entered a portal, the same game to leave the portal and the same types of games during each chapter. There is a Gadget which is a staple feature in this series, a Potion Cube to make Transformation Potions, it too is repetitive and used an average of 2 times per chapter. The good news is that there is a good ratio of Mini-Games to Hidden Object Scenes and the hand-drawn graphics are beautifully illustrated. I did find the Collectibles to be an added bonus in the CE version and the BC is quite lengthy, so if you don't mind repetitive puzzles and recipe puzzles, I'd recommend the CE version over this SE version.

The Hidden Object Scenes are varied with Interactive List Finds, Silhouetted Shape Finds, and Multiples of the Same Object Finds. Most of the scenes are very interactive requiring moving other objects out of the way or finding and replacing missing parts. Each Hidden Object Scene has a Morphing Object that must be clicked when in the correct Form. There is an alternate Matching Pairs game available where you click on 2 Related Items such as a Broom and a Dustpan.

The Mini-Games are okay but rather easy and very repetitive because you have to complete the same puzzles for each chapter. The puzzle to access each of the portal locations is the same, the puzzle to return to the King is the same each time, and I've never been a fan of recipe puzzles because there's no skill involved and you have to repeat the Potion Cube Recipes 6 different times! Even the puzzles that aren't repeated, only slightly change from chapter to chapter but they are all puzzles that have been offered in other Brave Giant games. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the game

1-Follow the picture diagram to create potion recipes x6.
2-Turn over clouds to find matching symbols, not all symbols have pairs.
3-Rotate & place fragments into highlighted slots each time you enter the portal.
4-Choose the single token that doesn't have any symbols on the beasts tokens.
5-Find and replace misplaced items to progress the story.
6-Slide tokens along the tracks to their correct matching slots.
7-Swap figurines according to the clue shown.
8-Move figure the specified number of squares in the correct direction.
9-Find 3 DNA markers that are located on each slide.
10-Find 6 pairs of related objects.
11-Rotate rings on a disk to recreate the image shown, moving one ring affects others.
12-Arrange the images in chronological order.
13-Turn all flowers purple, selecting one affects others.
14-Find 3 symbols in each scene to progress the story.
15-Drag pawprints through the labyrinth.

The Collector's Edition version has 6 Wallpapers, 6 Concept Art Pictures, 5 Music Soundtracks, replayable Movie Video Cutscenes, re-playable Mini-Games, and Hidden Object Scenes, 16 Hidden Magic Wands (with origins) 16 Hidden Puzzle Pieces, 8 Hidden Ghosts (crystal ball to show when a collectible is available purple if available, grey when all collectibles have been found) 21 Achievements to Earn, 4 Main Chapters +Bonus Chapter (very long chapters and extremely long BC) and a Built-in Strategy Guide.
