3) Constant gameplay...a real game and not a storybook.
4) Not being stopped by effects with every scene change
5) Fresh and fun mini games
6) A cute story, and I don't even like stories.

I like this game very much. It is enjoyable and not too hard to play. The mini games are interesting and intriguing. The graphics and audio are impressive. I like the storyline.
An old Count wishes to be young again and doesn't care about the consequences. If he only knew that turning back the clock can be detrimental to your health and mental stability. Some people just cannot be happy with themselves and get on with enjoying their lives. The Count is allowing his vanity to cloud his judgement and what he doesn't realise, is that, for every reaction, there is an equal and opposite reaction. I would not like to be in his shoes when it all comes crashing down around him. He should know that good always wins over evil. There are some beautiful ghost ladies that want their revenge. He had better watch is back.
This an enjoyable series with maps, collectables, HOS and quite a few characters to keep it interesting. Show less

I recommend this game!

Based on demo - as soon as I heard the gorgeous music, I recognized them as the devs who do Living Legends (they use the same epic music, which I think has become a trademark) - Right away you are thrown into a live or die situation, and the way it was presented was excellent - made to feel the danger...

The graphics and beautiful artwork paired with the immersive story and great characters are tops - these kinds of games draw me in. With a fantasy story/ medieval type setting/ and lovely abundant use of flowers/hearts/gems it gave off just the right amount of romance, outside interaction, etc, to make the experience exciting and the gameplay beautiful. There are ghosts and skulls, but they aren't a detraction (they are a bit chilling, but not gloomy and dark for those put off by that).

The HOPA scenes are also lovely - full of story, activities and fun. There is a jump map that also shows collectibles, but I had to click on the demo again and go back and check - I was so immersed in the story, I realized afterward I didn't use it once. (It's usually one of the first things I look for in a game).

The collectibles are smoky, nearly invisible phoenixes - and interesting thing - they're made of smoke - barely seen - but as I completed an area, when I came back, one phoenix I missed was glowing brightly in the sky (where it had been nearly invisible before)! Maybe a glitch, or maybe they really were programmed to do that once an area is cleared of main game tasks - I don't know. (sorry) Got the others before I cleared each area, but for anyone who reads this before playing the demo, it might be fun to find out if they are geared to do that. ;-)

I will be purchasing this game soon - have all the others (and all of Living Legends as well) - love these devs and what they do with a game of this type theme! I recommend you try the demo and experience it for yourself... Show less

I recommend this game!

4 Chapters Plus a Bonus Chapter

OVERVIEW: Here comes the bride! Unfortunately, not! On the eve of your wedding, your bride, Christina is given a deadly lotus flower as present from a local woman. Zapping the celebratory mood out of the festivities, this flower begins to drain your beloved’s life force. When she is completely drained of energy, when the petals of the flower are completely black, she will die. But why would anyone want to kill your bride? This deliverer is just a puppet in the machinations of a madman in his quest for eternal youth. Can you stop this evildoer and save your bride? I purchased this game! For me, this game is a vast improvement from previous games in this series. This game should appeal to fantasy game lovers and incurable romantics. I usually dislike this developer’s games; however, this is one I would recommend.

MECHANICS: 4 Friends has upped their game. The graphics are bright, clear, and colorful. Many of them provide a panoramic view as well. It appears that this developer has fine-tuned the graphics so there is no blurry imaging as in prior games. The story is a little far-fetched but does provide a good vehicle for this game. This game is an easy breezy game – I did not find one puzzle which was even moderately difficult. The pace is excellent with plenty of activities to keep the player busy. There is not much back-and-forth motion in searching for inventory items or supplies.

There are twenty (20) achievements to earn. There is only one collectible. You collect sixty-eight (68) phoenixes (the symbol of immortality). They are in various sizes throughout the scenes. There is an indicator bar at the left of the screen to indicate if there are any collectibles within the scene. There are five (5) wallpapers and (5) screensavers.

There are some innovative new features in this game. I especially enjoyed the timed scene in the beginning of the game. In a scene which will “take your breath away,” you are timed and only have a limited amount of time to save yourself from drowning.

HOP SCENES: The HOP scenes are creatively designed, and to me, the best part of the game. There are lists of items with mini-games within them. The scenes are incredibly beautiful. Flowers feature heavily within the scenes. You will search for items (at times more than one item) within the center of these flowers. As with many games today, many of the HOP scenes use symbols instead of items. I do believe this trend in the use of runes and symbols for not only HOP scenes but puzzles as well has run its course. You have the option to play a Match-3 in lieu of the scenes.

PUZZLES: The puzzles are easy and creatively designed. However, I do wish there was at least one puzzle which was a little more difficult to solve. Thematically, they fit well into this game. For example, in an underwater scene you merge bubbles into one large bubble. The puzzles are variations of ones seen in previous games. They consist of some easy matching puzzles and sequence puzzles. The battle scenes I played in the demo do not rely upon some bullseye game. There is one which is a logic problem and one which I consider my favorite puzzle of the demo.

FAVORITE PUZZLE: Usually in battle scenes to defeat some evildoer there is some bullseye mini-game to play. Personally, I hate these mini-games. However, in a battle against a crocodile, 4 Friends has provided a Skipping Stones puzzle instead. This puzzle requires you to match up three (3) or more stones by color to remove them until none remain. This is a logic problem as you must plan your moves so that you do not end up with one or two stones which are left over. You play three games and they increase in difficulty. Nice touch!

HERE ARE THE DETAILS (SPOILERS) FOR THOSE WANT MORE INFORMATION ON THE PUZZLES IN SEQUENCE

PUZZLES: (1) Easy 2) Moderate difficulty (3) Difficult

A. Sequence puzzle. Beginning with the smallest air bubble, accumulate air bubbles in sequential order according to size – from smallest to largest. Rating: 1
B. Matching puzzle. Click on blossoms which disclose symbols. Match up pictures hidden within the blossoms. The blossoms move clockwise after each set of clicks. Rating: 2
C. Switch puzzle. Switch tiles so that in each column the two tiles are related to each other in some way. Rating: 1
D. Switch puzzle. Switch pieces on five picture frames to restore the images of 5 girls. Rating: 1
E. Sequence puzzle. Remove spikes from a comb in sequential order so that all the spikes are removed. Moving one spike affects the others. Rating: 1
F. Logic/Skipping Stones puzzle. Connect like tokens so that none remain. 3 X Increases in difficulty You must logically plan your moves to remove the tokens.
G. Logic puzzle! Battle scene! Defeat the Count’s guard. Using three actions, defeat the count’s guard. You must decide which of three actions to take to thwart the guard. 3 X Rating: 2
H. Switch puzzle. Switch tokens to restore a fresco. You can only work on one-half of the fresco at a time. Click a button to switch between the halves. Rating: 2
I. Book puzzle. Switch puzzle. Switch books to create an image when completed. Rating: 2 Show less

I recommend this game!

I'm on the edge of my seat watching that lotus flower go blacker and blacker - haven't finished so who knows what will happen - is it the usual happy ending or something darker..... 4friends is one of my favorite developers and they generally deliver a fun game.
