These dragons are just too hot!

These dragons are just too hot! Myths of the World has brought us another fantastic legend from an ancient land forged by fire, a land that had been nearly desolated by a greedy dragon, oh so many years ago. The dragons of the five elements eventually sealed the dark dragons soul into the Golden Heart, but something has allowed this angry dragon to rise to power once again. Can you stop the dragon and his Terracotta army before he enslaves humanity forever more?

Finding the Golden Heart amulet is just the beginning of this adventure. Possessing this amulet allows you to break magical barriers, once you complete some very unique mini games that is. You also get to earn some very unusual achievements, collect 42 Ancient Bamboo strips, find 17 morphing items within the HOP's and tinker with all kinds of interactive inventory items! This game has truly raised the standards within a Collectors Edition.

The Hidden Object Scenes are never boring in this game, but just in case, you have the option of playing Mahjong. There is such a variety of HOP's, silhouetted shapes, interactive list finds, multiples of a single item, descriptions and even items associated with the combination of several silhouettes! The Mini Games are FANTASTIC, just the ones within the Golden Heart are entertaining and unique let alone the full length ones. I'm always surprised when a single new puzzle pops up but all of them, wow!

This Collectors Edition comes with replayable Puzzles and Hidden Object Scenes, Achievements, Music, a Souvenir Room, Art, Mahjong, Golden Heart Puzzles, Collectibles, Morphs, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Adventure, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

fromHaving gone into a meditative state, I am "en-tranced" by this game. This little "grasshopper" has waited many moons (including a lunar eclipse) to play this highly anticipated game from the Master Gamer!

Soaring over the clouds in the Himalayas, I have arrived in the 7th Heaven in this exquisite mystical game from the Master Gamers. This game has it all - a beautiful myth from the Himalayas combined with multi-dimensional, varied and innovative HOP scenes, puzzles, and inventory. This is a gaming work of art with a storyline come to life with exquisite graphics and background music. The amount of games and puzzle-like HOP scenes is AMAZING! The golden tones of the realistic graphics and animation gives one the feeling of being in the Himalayas. So clever - so innovative! I am always amazed at the genius of the dev! I would give this game 7 stars, one for each of the 7 heavens. After I think this dev has reached their highest peak of excellence, they seem to up their game even more.

HERE ARE THE DETAILS OF THE DEMO:

Flying a cargo plane for a supply drop along the Burmese border, you crash land in the mountains, arriving at a small village which terracotta warriors are attacking along with the Earth Dragon. Within the village you learn the myth of the Dragon King who was once all powerful. Being challenged by five good dragons and humans, he was encased in a Golden Heart. The five good dragons sacrificed their lives to defeat him. However, now he has escaped. Is he living within the body of the Earth Dragon? He must be stopped and you are the key to stopping him. You are the chosen one of good moral compass who has overcome the power of the golden heart. You will get some help along the way as well by the good dragons!

LEVELS: Four
Casual, Expert, Insane, Customized. Hints range from 10 to 120 second delay. Skips range from 10 to 400 second delay. There are penalties for misclicks which you can turn off in the customized version

GRAPHICS: Realistic and beautiful giving a true feeling of the Orient.

HOP SCENES: EVERY TYPE OF HOP SCENE IS REPRESENTED IN THIS GAME. Junk piles, rebus clues, cryptic clues, replace items in scenes, silhouette are all represented. They are multi-dimensional, Innovative and puzzle-like All are theme related. This game is laden with so many puzzles and puzzled oriented HOP scenes, I will only provide my personal favorites. You can play Mah Jong instead in some HOP scenes. But why would you? Overkill dev! For you, the HOP scenes are so well-done, there is no need for an optional game. They all contain many mini-HOP scenes within a larger HOP scene and also contains many puzzles within them. These are my favorites:

A. Puzzle-like HOP scene containing four different activities: Locating a number of a specific item from a HOP scenes which unlocks an item to be used in the HOP scene to unlock a list of items to be found within the same HOP scene. After finding the items, a silhouette of a final inventory item is exposed.
B. Junk pile list moving on to SOMETHING NEW - REBUS CLUES GIVEN TO LOCATE AN ITEM - SO AWESOME AND INNOVATIVE; The final phase of this scene consists of looking for items based on cryptic clues.
C. Twice - Silhouette of items to locate followed by location of items by cryptic clues

PUZZLES: All well crafted and innovative. My favorites:
A. Set the navigation controls on the cargo plane - YEAH (Our devs are into aviation - so awesome!)
B. Multi-dimensional lock box puzzle. Open a box with two different puzzles
C. A variation of a gear puzzle using a water wheel., followed by two sets of mazes. SO AWESOME DEV!
D. Fight the dragons with number connection puzzle - number of links must equal lines between circles Used twice in the game I LOVE THESE GAMES - SO AWESOME
E.. Story book sequence telling the story of the battle of humans and good dragons against the Dragon King Find items and place them into the proper areas. So beautifully illustrated.

EXTRA GOODIES:
A. 13 Achievements
B. Map is provided as you play the game
C. 17 Morphing objects which are in the HOP scenes
D. 42 Bamboo shoots to be collected
E. Further in the game you receive a Golden Dragon Heart which must be recharged by matching symbols when needed.
F. Souvenir room to play additional games of Mah Jong, Puzzles, Art

BUDDAH HAS SMILED UPON THIS GAME AND IT HAS CREATED A GOLDEN GLOW IN MY "DESOLATE" GRUMPY CAT HEART! i CANNOT WAIT TO FINISH IT!! THIS GAME HAS ALL THE KICK OF A KUNG FU PUNCH! Show less

The Heart of Desolation is the sixth game in the Myths of the World Series and we find ourselves back in Asia where it all began. As the game begins we are on a mission to drop food and medicine into a small village near the Burmese border. We are not too far into our mission when something huge hits our plane and we crash land right into this exciting new adventure. The developer has created a beautiful setting for the game that brings to life the terracotta warriors, dragons, and gorgeous scenery. I found myself fully immersed in the environment and the gameplay so for me the game became an instant purchase.

The graphics are superb and crystal clear not to mention gorgeous. The artwork is stunning and full of color and depicts the beauty of the remote village where I have landed. There are lip-synced voice overs that are quite good and a wonderful soundtrack that enhances the game even more.

Tools include an interactive transporter type map that is customizable to show objectives if you happen to choose that option in either custom settings or the gameplay mode where that option is preset.

There are various types of interactive HOPs and I love them. The HOPs are multi-level and quite varied so there is a lot of entertainment value. Although there are a lot of items in each scene I think the HOPs are a notch above the standard junk pile since the items are clearly defined, well-spaced and large enough to spot. Of course if you don’t like searching the HOPs for items you can switch to an alternate mahjong type game. I happen to enjoy the HOPs from this developer so for me the alternate game isn’t something I use unless I am really stuck finding items since I hate to use the hint. Of course you will need to keep your eyes open to spot the special item in each scene. There is not much new to say about the puzzles except that they are abundant and cover the spectrum from easy to more difficult. Some of the puzzles I absolutely love and found most of them enjoyable and easy to complete. Even though they might be easy they add to the gameplay value of the game.

In the CE content we have the ever present achievements to earn, and honestly I don’t know why they are included as extras since we can easily earn most of them simply by playing the game. Along with the achievements we have collectibles and morphing objects to find so there is a lot to do, see and find during this great adventure.

I am swept away by this game and it captured me from the beginning. As I moved through the adventure my interest increased with each scene and that sometimes doesn’t happen. The game began with a puzzle and just kept moving on from there - what awesome way to start a game. The story is very interesting, and when I find a game with dragons I am extremely happy even though all of them are not good. This game has so much to offer that I know I have hours of entertainment ahead where I can be lost in the ambience of Asia and the wonderful story. Although the game is an instant purchase for me, as always, I recommend that you at least try the demo to see if this is a game you will like. Show less

I recommend this game!

Hi all. Well, we now have 7 in this wonderful series. I don't usually tell you how I actually feel about a game until the end of my game play review, but suffice it to say that I very, very seldom give 5 stars to any game. I beta tested this one a while back and have been anxiously awaiting it's release. Yes, I made a note and gave this one 5 stars just for the beta. I have all of the others in this series and have yet to be disappointed. This game has awesome graphics, very clear and clean. Beautiful colors, very true. Excellent game play, absolutely no problems with any part of the demo. Perfect music for setting and action, and I never say that! Excellent voice overs, age and character appropriate, realistic in accent and with emotion. You can click through the dialog if you read faster than they speak.

Map is a little blah, but it works quite well to get me from point A to point B and is clear with locations and places of interest identified. SG doesn't show much, but I really didn't find a need to use it. The game flows extremely well and instructions are very clear. There is a click penalty, so be careful. HOPs are very well done, with interactive lists, silhouettes and riddles included, or you can switch to the Mahjong game. Items are not difficult to find and HOPs are very clean, no junk piles. Puzzles are not as easy as you may think in most cases. They do take some time and thought to complete and some are quite challenging. Hint system is very helpful and it does transport you to a further location.

The only collectibles I found are 17 morphing objects in the HOPs, which are not hard to find, but you do have to remember to watch for them. There is a little butterfly in the bottom right if there is an object in the HOP, which helps me remember to look. There are also 42 bamboo strips that resemble a yard stick. These are not easy to spot in most cases, and some blend quite well. So far, I have found one in each scene, so really take your time looking if you want to find them all. There are a number of achievements, but nothing we haven't seen before.

This is one of the best games I have seen in quite some time. Everything about it is extremely well done. It is challenging, but not impossible for any level of player. You are constantly on the move and you move with purpose, not just to take up time. This one is worth the CE price and the BOGO sale this weekend makes it even better. Yes, I am definitely getting this game for my collection and I recommend it for all levels of players.

As always, try it for yourself and see what you think. We all have different tastes in games and you may not care for this one at all. Although, I would be surprised. Thanks for the reviews. Show less

I recommend this game!

Eipix has done it again folks. The developer has created that which IMO is a masterpiece. The story is as follows: A bush pilot
whose gender is unknown ( a good feature ) crash lands the plane into a valley. The setting is reminiscent of Shangri-LA except this otherwise idyllic place is beset by the Dragon King, a beast of supreme powers released from its prison. It seeks to overpower humankind and dominate the world. Our bush pilot for some unknown reason is the chosen one, the only person who can defeat the monster dragon. There are 5 other dragons who are opposed to the mighty one. They need our help to vanquish the Dragon King. The player gathers necessary items along the way via exceptionally well done HO segments and puzzles. We have acquired a dragon heart that is instrumental to defeat the monster dragon. The heart is used during puzzle sequences to disrupt the king and also to complete other puzzles. One that is quite interesting involves numbered circles that must be joined in a particular fashion. Eipix borrows as part of the story line terra cotta soldiers which in actuality were carved during the reign of Qin Shi Huang, the very first Chinese emperor over 2 thousand years ago. How much the game's soldiers are used and to what effect remains to be seen as I have only completed the demo. I have one very minor gripe about the game. It's that most of the Oriental characters speak unaccented American English. This takes away a bit of the ambiance of the game.
Otherwise Heart of Desolation is magnificent. The story is top notch, the drawing is impeccable. I marveled at a cormorant that needs feeding at a dock setting. It looked real. There are 7 morphs to be found during HO segments. I failed to find any collectible items but that may be something I alone failed to recognize. Nevertheless, this edition of Myths of the World is a fantastic addition to the HOPA world. This very well could be a game of the year contender. There have been but a handful of outstanding games during 2015. This one for me certainly ranks with the best. Combined with BFG sale offering a second game at $1.99 over the weekend, I plan to be busy at the computer. Show less

This is the sixth game in this series and they always entrance. The graphics are gorgeous, the voice-overs excellent, and the story line exciting.

Your cargo plane crashed north of Burma in the mountains of China, because you ran into a dragon that was awakened by a robber stealing his eye. The dragon looks just like you'd expect a dragon to look - the animation is pretty awesome. So it seems you are the "Chosen One" who can help the Five Hero dragons drive away the awakened Dragon King. There are a LOT of dragons in this story! You find the Golden Heart artifact that helps you, and a few helpful hints along the way from the Water Dragon. The 80 minute demo gives you a good feel for the story and the gameplay.

There HOPs are fun and multi-tiered, and have their own morphing object. You can play mahjong instead of the HOP. The mini-games are interesting but not too easy. There are 13 achievements, and four modes of play, including custom. The CE bling includes 42 ancient bamboo strip collectibles, a Souvenir Room, the Mahjong game, Golden Heart puzzles, Art, Music, and the ability to replay HOPS and puzzles, along with the Bonus Game. No "Making Of" in this one -- my favorite "extra."

For me, this is a definite buy. Try it and see! Show less

*Based on COMPLETED main & Bonus game.

This is another installment in the Myths of the World series. While the storyline is good, I've seen better - but I've also seen worse. It revolves around dragons as you probably have already figured out.

The bonus chapter does have a connection to the main story, but is not 'necessary' to enjoy the main story. The bonus chapter is one of those 'later on' installments where you are called back etc.

The graphics are pretty decent. The difficulty settings include a 'customizable' option. The number of HOPs is not overkill. In fact, I'd dare say there are more 'puzzles' than there are HOPs. But the HOPs are quite well done and all interactive. They all have several 'levels' to them. You can play Mahjong instead of the HOPs if you like. You can even split them up in the 'levels' within one HOP (do part of it as HOP and part of it as Mahjong). It is not 'either or'.

Each HOP scene has a 'morphing object' which you will need to find in the actual HOP (before switching to Mahjong, if you choose to). The morps are not 'too easy' to find. You have to look for them.

The puzzles include several I have not seen before, some of which were quite fun. The puzzles ranged from very easy to very hard and some in-between. The puzzles, like the HOP scenes, have several 'levels' to them.

Each 'non-HOP' seen has a 'bamboo strip' to find and you can tell whether or not you have gotten it in that particular scene by checking the bottom right of your screen.

The bonus content is superb. The strategy guide is integrated and there is a 'jump map'. The HOPs are re-playable as are the 'puzzles'. You can play the Mahjong game as well (unlocked after you complete the 'bonus game').

There is also an 'achievement' list that I really like in this particular game. I really cannot stand it when developers have a 'time limit' achievement (finish the game in such and such hours) HOPAs are not TMs. Fortunately, this one doesn't have that achievement.

There are also four 'golden heart' puzzles as a bonus. I really like the 'souvenir room' bonus. It's like the 'treasure hunt' in other games. However, this one is much more fun because the object you are seeking is not in plain sight. You have to click on something or perform a task in order to 'reveal' the souvenir. In essence, they are each HOPs.

Overall, I'd say this is a great game. If you like all the 'bells and whistles' like I do, you'll be happy with this game. If you don't and you don't care for the bonus chapter then you'd be safe with the SE. Show less

I recommend this game!
