I found this time management game interesting in that like most time management games which start out easy and then become more difficult, you basically don't get that pass in this game which can become a challenge for stars right away.

Only issues as far as I've played it is how the "power-ups" are handled which is a bit confusing. Colorful, fun game and a buyer for me.

I recommend this game!

Mostly fun until I discovered just how incomplete this version is.

This review ONLY applies to the SE version. I haven't played the CE version.
Most info with pet peeves and bugs is in other reviews, I'm posting to correct a bit of misinformation, which would have influenced my decision on buying this version. (To NOT purchase it!)
I had two bug issues, so maybe the following is just another bug that I haven't realized yet (I did restart the game, and it's still the same.), but I have completed the SE, and am not at all happy with it. Gameplay was ok, I found all the bonus tiles (spoiler alert: don't bother, it doesn't unlock anything or give you an achievement for it).
After the 40th level, it popped up a screen, advising me to get at least a 4 in charm to go on, or it would be much more difficult. I went back and got at least 3 stars on every level, maxed out my charm (max is 4, btw), and full disclosure, I re-did about half of the levels on easy to get the stars, so maybe that is the issue. However, after going back, there were NO additional levels to be played.
Also, there are only THREE boosts in the SE version, NOT 6 like in the CE.
TLDR: No point in finding the bonus tiles, only 40 levels in SE version (instead of 50+5), only 3 boosts instead of 6. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

I hope a patch is coming for this game. I can't get past level 34. About the time I'm ready to destroy the statue, the game locks up.

I don't recommend this game.

THERE'S MORE TO CLEOPATRA THAN VANITY

I have always loved Egyptian-themed games so I was eager to play this game when I first saw it on another site. I really wanted to like this game but not only is it boring and repetitive, it has tasks that make no sense, and features that interrupt the flow of gameplay, not to mention glitches.

The character's dialog boxes interrupt the game and simply clicking on the boxes doesn't speed ...Show more

The character's dialog boxes interrupt the game and simply clicking on the boxes doesn't speed through the dialog. If the dialog box is explaining a feature, you are forced to click on that task even though you can clearly see that that task isn't available because it is blocked. Turning off the tutorial would mean that you won't get explanations for any new feature, and the explanations are already pretty vague so you'll be left clueless with this option! To make matters worse, I found that if you interrupt the dialog to click on the Strategy Guide, when you return to the game, whichever dialog box was interrupted gets stuck there and you can't click on anything to continue playing. This happened on 3 different levels and I had to restart the levels every time so it's a definite glitch, if I waited until the conversation completed I didn't have any issues.

In the last game series by this developer, they gave us giant speed pills, so the developers had to put on their thinking caps to come up with the most ridiculous feature imaginable...a Beauty Salon in the middle of the dessert! Btw Cleopatra reigned as Queen of Egypt in the 1st Century B.C.

The 1st beauty salon, the Harper Method Hair Parlour was opened in Rochester, New York in 1888 by Martha Matilda Harper, a domestic servant who invested her life savings of $380. In 1891, Martha was also the 1st person to start modern retail franchising, she only sold franchises to poor women, and she was the 1st to invent reclining shampoo chairs. In Martha's lifetime, she sold 500 franchised hair salons that emphasized natural healthy hair care. Among the Harper customers were British royalty, Susan B. Anthony, Woodrow Wilson, Grace Coolidge, Joseph P. Kennedy, Rose Kennedy, Jacqueline Kennedy, George Bernard Shaw, and
Ladybird Johnson!

My point here is that Cleopatra's Hair Salon in the desert seems really petty when you know the truth. The Hair Salon was created by a Canadian immigrant who didn't receive a formal education as a child, whose father sent her away at age 7 to become a domestic servant, a courageous woman who never gave up and blazed the trail to empower other women!

The developers decided to focus on Cleopatra as being nothing more than vain, even though there is evidence that she wasn't as striking as originally believed. Perhaps they should have focused on her intelligence? She spoke a dozen different languages and was educated in mathematics, philosophy, oratory, and astronomy. She was a popular Queen, a ruler “who elevated the ranks of scholars and enjoyed their company, and I can assure you that not once did she visit a Beauty Salon in the desert!...now you know :)

You can play in an Easy, Normal, or Difficult Mode, however, I found the Normal mode to be nearly impossible to earn all 3 stars on the first attempt, the timer is very stingy and you have to complete the tasks in a very specific order. My suggestion to the developer is to have a Normal player decide how fast the clock ticks down rather than the developer himself who is naturally going to know the order in which tasks need to be completed, therefore will be able to beat the levels more quickly than the Normal Average Joe! There are 20 Achievement Trophies to earn and a Hidden Puzzle rune in each level. I recommend that you search for the rune before clicking to start the level, and you can return to a level to search for missed puzzle runes without affecting your original score.

The Stars earned can be used to upgrade Cleopatra's attire which is accompanied by a booster to speed the movement of the characters, speed the removal of obstacles and building upgrades, or double the resources collected. You can also purchase furniture boosters:

*Sacred Cat: recharges running Speed
*Pharaoh's Bust: recharges workers speed
*Strengthing Magic: permanently increases the speed to remove obstacles & upgrade buildings
*Wings of Isis: slightly permanently increases the speed of characters
*Endless Chest: adds 1 gold, food, & wood at set intervals
*Precious Scarab: doubles resources

Besides needing a Beautification treatment at the Salon which has vague instructions as to what it actually does for the player, she also needs to worship the gods at the altar which activates the boosters. There will be several random merchant tents that will exchange resources but you have to be careful and use the correct merchant at the correct time. I actually hate merchant features all wrapped up in one tent, I'd rather collect them from altars or on the path.

The CE version has 50 Main levels, 5 Bonus levels, 10 Concept Art pictures, 5 Music Soundtracks, 20 Achievement Trophies, a Hidden Puzzle Rune in each level, and a built-in Strategy Guide. This SE version still offers 20 Achievement Trophies, a Hidden Puzzle Rune in each level, and 50 main levels so the only benefit I see with the CE version is with the built-in Strategy Guide.

Having a SG is definitely beneficial, but it would be nice if they added a Booklet of some sort that explained in detail what each feature does, such as the Altar, the Salon, each Merchant, etc. Catch up with long-lost forum friends on my new forum at thewoodsforum.boards.net Show less

I don't recommend this game.

Quite basic for a desktop game and not worth full price. Might purchase it as a Daily Deal . . . maybe.

It's the usual building/resources game that we can play on our phones or tablets. Not sure why this game in particular gets such high ratings -- it's cute but that's about it.

I don't recommend this game.
