It is never easy to come straight in with any game and for me this developer has done exactly the right thing with this great TM game.

As has been said in the CE version of this game it reminds many of the Royal Envoy games.

It is never easy to come straight in with any game and for me this developer has done exactly the right thing with this great TM game.

As has been said in the CE version of this game it reminds many of the Royal Envoy games.

I am usually sceptical of the difference between CE and SE but in this incidence this SE game has been stripped to the bone which I think is really good so those ,like me who bought the CE do not feel they did not get value for money.

There are no thrills in this one apart from being a great standard game.
There are no bonus levels, achievements, strategy guides, jigsaws or hidden treasures to find, it really is a case of just having the 45 standard levels.

So I salute Best Friend Games for providing us with the two choices that really do make a difference.
If you can go for the CE then it is worth it particularly when there is a sale on but you still get a great game from this standard adventure.

Try the demo and see what you think. Show less

I recommend this game!

I just realized I'm stuck on level 28 and the game is a few days old, so I must be enjoying it! The graphics are familiar to me from Royal Envoy, which I like. I'm playing on the Normal level and sometimes have to play a time or two to get the order correct to finish with three stars, which is perfect. No power-ups or magic skills, which to me means more brain function required. I recommend this ...Show more

When I first played this, I wasn't sure about it. I think I was in the wrong mood. Came back to it later and absolutely loved it! It is similar to Royal Envoy and I'm glad someone made something like it as I absolutely loved that series. I've played Islandville 4 times now and I still have to figure out what I'm doing so it hasn't gotten old for me at all. No gameplay issues at all, which is ...Show more

Good for advanced players and beginners. Enjoyed how there is actually strategy involved to complete each level with 3 stars.

This is a fantastic game with just enough challenge and fun. I do not like all these fighting games, and with this one you have challenges, but not fighting. THANK YOU FOR A GREAT GAME AND I HOPE THERE ARE MORE TO COME.

This game was very enjoyable to play and not too difficult to beat on the normal setting. Extra bonus levels with purchase of the CE. Decent game length, based on normal setting. Highly recommend.

I recommend this game!
