The only thing I didn't like about this Time Management game, was the constant interruptions of cutscenes, which are not only between levels, but within the levels themselves.

The only thing I didn't like about this Time Management game, was the constant interruptions of cutscenes, which are not only between levels, but within the levels themselves. At first I thought it was kinda cool that the story was unfolding as you were playing, giving meaning and explanation to the tasks you were accomplishing, but it did start to get old after a while and I found myself skipping through most of the cutscenes. On the other hand, this TM game has excellent graphics, really good layouts in each level with plenty of active areas to interact with. This isn't an easy breezy game however (unless you are playing in Relaxed mode which is untimed) and I will admit that I had to restart a few levels to "get it right" by slightly altering the order in which I queued my tasks, otherwise I had to waste time waiting for the necessary resources to be available because I used them on a different task that had more benefits. You can earn up to 3 stars in each level, but like I said, you will have to use strategy to earn all three stars. The Developer's score is shown on the map above each level, but beating the score of the person who designs the game and knows what should be done when and how seems impossible, so I didn't bother with that attempt.

The goal is to help Lady Aerin restore her Elven Kingdom from the enchanted roots of The Tree Of Life, which are attacking the villages, farms and even the Capital Building. Some of the levels contain Gold Petals which are gathered just like a resource, these petals can be used to rebuild the Capital Building (which you get to choose the name for) but this feature is optional from what I gathered.

There are the normal resources to collect, food, wood, stone etc. and the same tasks of clearing the roadways, repairing bridges and filling in pits along the way. Princess Aerin will do all the magic work, once she has enough magical crystals to charge her staff, but she gets a helping hand from a Healer who heals plants and animals, and her trusted Griffin has joined her once more to chase away the Trolls, once his house has been built of course. There are several Altars of Resources available in each level that will produce resources over a period of time and each level has a Bonus meter that recharges to give you temporary boosts such as faster workers, more resources, or extra workers. Enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

This is a nice TM. Good graphics. Nice music. You can not click ahead on this game. It is a challenge. Traveling from village to village, you encounter all sorts of creatures. Some you cure.Some you help. Buildings are upgrade-able. You rebuild this kingdom little by little and restore order.Three levels of play make this a keeper for me. Fun little TM. Try it and see. Swim on fishes.

I recommend this game!

I enjoyed playing this TM game, in which Lady Aerin rebuilds her kingdom after Morissa and an army of orcs have destroyed it. Aerin is helped by griffins, which was awesome. I'm all about griffins.

There are really cool challenges like feeding the orcs, going underground, rebuilding mines and bridges... As usual, you have to collect resources and decide on the order of repair. Some levels are tricky, so you might need to replay them - all adding to the challenge.

As another reviewer said, I was confounded by the unnecessary cutscenes between most of (every?) level. Why? There was really no need for a little movie of what just happened or what was coming up next. Other games use graphics, which work just fine. I'd reconsider all those memory hogging cinematics if the developers come up with a sequel. Show less

I recommend this game!

I loved the original game and I had great fun playing it and...I was so looking forward to this one. Just played the demo and I am just annoyed: why on earth having cinematic whilst playing a level?

Not only it doesn't make sense, but it doesn't add anything to the game, nor the pleasure of playing the game and in fact it is very counter productive: it is just a distraction you don't need when you choose to play at very high level "Professional/insane" mode.
I am a huge fan of TM games and I must say this is the worst one for the last 12 months or so...shame really, and for the first time ever I will not recommend a Time Management game :( Show less

I don't recommend this game.

In sense the game should have been really fun to play, just like any other TM game. Unfortunately I found the actual game play to be stilted and at times slow while you waited on some levels for things to regenerate, because it stopped you just short of winning the 3rd star. Liked the story line, liked the graphics, though the music was a little irritating. I don't like it enough to buy though.

I don't recommend this game.

The game didn't flow smoothly...it seemed like everything was all kind of jerky and hard to manage. Time management games are my favorite and this just didn't work for me

I don't recommend this game.
