For a game to be called a CE it should contain a strategy guide, collectables, bonus levels, concept art, wallpapers and achievements. This one has the lot.

The next generation is the story of the young Elven princess who can bring inanimate objects magically to life, and her journey home from her G'pa's back to her parents Castle. It is quite fairytale like in its theme.

For a game to be called a CE it should contain a strategy guide, collectables, bonus levels, concept art, wallpapers and achievements. This one has the lot.

The next generation is the story of the young Elven princess who can bring inanimate objects magically to life, and her journey home from her G'pa's back to her parents Castle. It is quite fairytale like in its theme.

The game itself has three modes of play including relaxed, and there are 50 levels and 10 bonus levels

There are three achievements on every level, a book, a cute pink Gollum and a tiny and hard to spot morphing faun statuette. The strategy guide is easy to flip down, accurate and has them clearly marked for each level. (you can go back and get them too)

This game will keep you busy and there is no slacking off even for resource gathering. Sometimes resources appears on altars, but often you have to cut your own wood from a tree or pick your own food.

There are bonuses for speed and production, and upgrades to buildings. In that respect most buildings are familiar to other games in the series. The gameplay however is not so much. Every level is so different from the last you are never repeating a goal, its never the same scenery and it keeps you very busy figuring out the game screen (while searching for collectables!)

Whilst it is a 'fairytale' theme, its not totally cutie pie, there are rats and villians, craftsmen, soldiers, traders and mythical creatures. The graphics are terrific, and the game play is extremely smooth.

I was so pleased to see that number seven in the series had me challenged, immersed and smiling. Yes its a standard 'collect and meet the goals' TM, but the journey is first class. Try the demo. I think you will be hooked. Enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

I had the joy of beta testing this game. I keep a log of the games I beta test and make a note for each one. Beside the title of this game I had written "Buy this one!" I found it to be everything joybelle has already written about. It's a terrific TM game with lots of features to keep you entertained and engaged. I'm one of those folks who does not play for the 3 Star goal. I tried that once and it took all the fun out of the game for me. I want to take my time and soak it all in. I'm big on graphics and details in each scene/level and playing in a mode that is timed takes all of that away from me. In many TM games, there is still the strategy/challenge of doing things in the right order so I don't have to replay a level. Show less

I recommend this game!

Well, that was quick! Didn't King Galanius just pass over his crown when the Royal Wedding Bells rang Ding-Dong for Princess Aerin, and Tillian, who shortly thereafter became the proud parents of a bouncing Royal Baby Girl in the last Elven Legends game? Now, in the blink of an eye, the Royal Princess is all grown-up, with magic powers of her very own, and making Royal Decisions on her journey home from Grandpa's house!

I must admit, one of the reasons I have always loved this TM series is because, over the last 6 games, I followed the story of a young Elven Princess as she discovered her magical abilities and learned how to serve her Kingdom's people. Aerin met the man of her dreams (well, it was more like he just popped into her life all of a sudden) Together they worked as an inseparable team side by side, decided to get married and her proud father, King Galanius handed down the crown. That took place over 6 game episodes, so I really would have been happier to have an in-between episode or two with the Royal Parents still involved as they handed down their family values to shape her into the young Princess she's currently become. But I guess there's no going back now, I just hope the next episode doesn't fast forward 40 years to show an aging and bitter Princess Sonja living alone in a decaying castle amongst a hundred cats. (well, the cats would still be adorable)

Elven Legend games are strategy-based Time Management games requiring you to queue your tasks in a specific order. You can play in a Relaxed mode with no timer (and apparently no available Stars) a Normal Mode, or a Professional Mode, and you can replay the levels as often as necessary. Bonus Icons become available that help you beat the levels, such as Worker's Speed, Add Workers, Double the Production of Resources, Speed up Work Production or even Increase the number of Existing Resources.

There are the normal TM tasks of collecting food, water, wood, stone crystals etc. and the same tasks of clearing the roads, repairing bridges and filling in pits along the way. Princess Sonja, who has the ability to animate non-living objects, of course, does all the magic work, and she is joined by someone who claims that he and his army have been sent to protect her.

There are several Altars of Resources available in each level that will produce 2 units of renewable resources over a period of time. Magical Trees produce wood, but they will first require Water before they will regrow or produce, Waterwells can be constructed on most levels or reproduced on altars. You will need to construct different buildings as well as upgrade them to produce various resources such as Farms to produce food, Workers House's to hire extra workers, Sawmills for wood, Inn's to produce Gold, Mines to produce magic Crystals, Labs to produce Philosopher's Stones as a source of Princess Sonja's magic.

Some levels require items to be Crafted such as creating Clay, Wood, an Iron Golems before the Princess can animate them. Crafted items you gather will automatically move to the icon, and once all items have been collected you need to click on the icon to complete the task.

In this Collector's Edition version, each scene has a Morphing Faun Statuette (60) Collectible Books (60) and 12 collectible Baby Golems in 5 different categories or types (60) You can replay the levels after completing them, to pick up missed collectibles or morphs, without having to replay the level, you will NOT lose your star rating if you only return to pick the up! There are 8 Wallpapers, 8 Concept Art Character Pictures, 39 Achievements to earn, a High Scores Leaderboard, 10 extra CE Bonus Levels, and a built-in Strategy Guide, enjoy!

I've enjoyed every Elven Legend game and this was no exception, but the one minor annoyance was the way the Princess said "Interesting!" (I could play without sound but then you lose the other sounds.) I mentioned it when reviewing a previous Elven Legend, and the makers have indeed done something.

This is a rare purchase for me because I am not good at choosing or playing TM games. Elven Legend 7 is today's Catch at $0.00, so a great opp to play something different to ward off the boredom/non-interest with BF games that has been aggravating me to death for a very long time!

Although I typically pass up TM games, I read all the reviews anyway. Every time, I find that joybelle 1 submits the most and best information, covering everything "top to bottom". I loved the demo, it was hectic playing in Normal Mode to earn the 3 stars. Easy Mode was fun but I need that star goal.

Thanks joybelle 1. I just might become successful enough to add more of these games to my stash! This one is very entertaining, visually interesting, challenging. Show less

New characters replace Aerin, the Griffin and Tillian which actually doesn't interest me all that much. The basic games formula does, which, instead of multitudes of obstacles and paths and structures, always focuses on fewer, more well-thought-out objects and tasks to occupy your mind. In limited time mode (professional and normal), time may well run out while you're trying to figure out how to finish a head-scratcher of a goal. Same as always, and almost always, these are creative, charming and well done. Several collectable objects are present in every scene--meh, could live without although the disappearing one is a good idea.

Graphics continue to be mediocre: compare the first opening scene with the game scenes and you'll understand. Audio could also have been improved, with there being two or more music tracks playing at one time--a little discordant. Occasionally, part of the game play was cut off by the task and timer bar. Overall, good and imaginative game, I'm enjoying it. Show less

I enjoyed this game, but found that now and again I would have to restart because it wasn't clear on how much of a resource I would be able to use without running out. That's annoying.

Still, it was fun and well thought out. If you don't mind restarting a few times, it's a good game.

I always enjoy the Elven Legend games, in fact all of the Growing Grass studios games. I work very hard to beat the developer on every level if at all possible BUT I have to wonder why I got the more expensive CE. I am not sure how they come up with my scores, but they are wayyyyyyyyyyy lower than the scores I actually made! NOT COOL
