I just read the previous reviews. I'm not sure what the problem is. It is similar (NOT the same) to other TM games. It is challenging enough to be fun but not too hard to play(I'm not done yet, we'll see). It has nice graphics. I don't listen to the music, so I can't comment. The levels load in 2-3 seconds, which I think is a plus.

I recommend this game!

I really enjoyed this time management game - in fact I like it better than another very similar time management game series set in the wild west... In all the Lost Artifact games you have to complete things in the right order otherwise you find you have to start again - this is great as it actually requires you to use your brain!

I really enjoyed this time management game - in fact I like it better than another very similar time management game series set in the wild west... In all the Lost Artifact games you have to complete things in the right order otherwise you find you have to start again - this is great as it actually requires you to use your brain! The music is really good also, really enjoyed listening to it while playing. Yes the game is timed but just because the timer runs out doesn't mean you have to start over, it just means you receive no stars. The challenge is in completing tasks in the right order and trying to get the max amount of stars by completing the levels as fast as possible. I can't comment on the CE extras as I've only played the demo so was focussing on the gameplay. Unsure why the overall ratings for this game are on the lower side - I'd happily buy this game and almost all others in this series. Show less

I recommend this game!

Can't rate since I seen timer and uninstalled.
This looks like I game I might enjoy but since I can't select relaxed play I say not for me.
I like games where I'm not trying to beat the clock. I like TM games and I like to play and relax.

I recommend this game!

This was okay, as time management games go. The graphics were bright and pleasing, the music was enjoyable, and the challenge was decent. There is no option for a relaxed mode with the timer off, which I always enjoy, so that was a mild disappointment. I was also taken aback in places by a number of typos in the narrative, particularly the one for "Kamelot."

I was also taken aback in places by a number of typos in the narrative, particularly the one for "Kamelot."

My only true annoyance was that there was more than one instance where my little onscreen helper was fetching a resource, but instead of bringing it back to the base, the sprite just stood in place with the resource above its head. Nothing I did seemed to fix this and it forced me to restart the level whenever it happened. I didn't mind it too much when it happened early in a level, but in one case I was very close to completing my goals when the restart was forced and I was not happy about it.

Definitely give this one a try before buying. I got my copy free (it was being offered as The Catch for Game Club members), but otherwise I probably wouldn't have gone past the demo. Show less

Based on completed demo

Recently, this type of aerial-task TM type of game is all I've been playing lately, so I have a really long list to compare this to.

Based on completed demo

Recently, this type of aerial-task TM type of game is all I've been playing lately, so I have a really long list to compare this to.
It's so bad I'm not even sure where to begin. First of all, I'm surprised this is a CE to begin with. The gameplay feels like a newbie DEV created it. The CE extras are horrible. I'm not even sure why they added that attempt at concept art, it's as if it was added quickly to pad the CE content.

The gameplay itself is probably the worst I've played of this type of TM. This DEV should test a lot of the other games like this that are high rated and emulate those.

~It actually starts to go downhill at the profile selection. There is no place to choose level of play. No multi-clk, normal, relaxed play and ALL play is timed.

~ You actually have to sit, wait, and watch for the characters to finish a task. They hammer away sooooo slowly that you know you'll be sitting for a spell when you see a rock in the road :/
~ The number of items it says you need for something blocked doesn't match what your upper toolbar says you have, so you have to go back and pick pumpkins until the sun goes down.
It was so annoying to think you had enough of an item to get that beep **your wrong** game effect noise.

~The first few levels your BFF just lounges in the tent as you do all the work. If you try to upgrade the tent to get your friend out, you must restart the level because you don't have enough of an item to bypass the next blocked path.

~There are no fun details like I've seen in a lot of games of this type, no animals, no cute things to see, and all the levels look the same as the last. They are "area" grouped that way so you play several levels with snow (all of the demo)... then later levels are also grouped that way so the player gets bored of the scenery after playing one level in that area.
I was so happy when level 4 announced a bear. I thought ok, we are going to see a cute animal; cool. But nope, it's a chunk of carved wood.
The pacing is off too and you never connect with the characters.
The music plays over and over until you need to shut it off.
There are no environmental sounds (like Incredible Dracula does so well) so if you turn off the music it's just the game effect sounds.

This game just isn't fun to play. It almost feels like a game that was in the middle of production and they didn't add the details to make it cute and they forgot to test it for the player.

The graphics and sound effects are nice and at least it has a walk through guide.
I'm sorry for this negative review but hopefully all the players reviews will help improve this series. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

I always looked forward to new episodes of this series. Mainly because the story was usually pretty good. I made the mistake of purchasing this one as part of a BOGO deal. I wouldn't have done that had I actually played the demo. Why, oh why, isn't there a mode feature? I HATE TIMED GAMES! I play to relax, not to be watching a timer!

I always looked forward to new episodes of this series. Mainly because the story was usually pretty good. I made the mistake of purchasing this one as part of a BOGO deal. I wouldn't have done that had I actually played the demo. Why, oh why, isn't there a mode feature? I HATE TIMED GAMES! I play to relax, not to be watching a timer! I gave this two stars mainly because the graphics are bright, colorful and engaging. Other than that, it would have gotten one star. Come on Devs! Have mercy on us old folks who have purchased your games in the past and let us choose what mode we want to play your games in. Show less
