I found this game rather compelling and bought it straight after the demo finished. The scenery is interesting, I can't remember the music which for me means it wasn't awful and the voices are good, some with lip synch and others not.

There's quite a bit of dialogue to read which I like but if you don't, you can click on it to carry on playing.

There's quite a bit of dialogue to read which I like but if you don't, you can click on it to carry on playing.

There is a Medallion which you have to charge with energy orbs, and there isn't a Helper.

Map - you receive it fairly shortly into the game.

HOS - I enjoyed these, especially the one where you had to interact with two different scenes.

Puzzles - I loved them and found them relatively easy to complete except one which took me a bit longer to work out.

16 Achievements - one of which is to complete a HOS scene using the Bubble Popper only.

38 Collectibles - as per usual they are all the same, the only way I can describe it is a Golden Statue but I cannot guess at what it resembles.

Extras:
13 HOS and 18 Puzzles to replay.
Souvenir Room
Bubble Popper game only accessible after you have played the bonus chapter. Show less

I recommend this game!

Having played only the beta & demo at this point (can't afford to purchase at the moment, even w/ the sale), I started to rate this game 4 stars, as I haven't seen all of it yet; but if the quality of this game remains consistent throughout, it's definitely worthy of 5 stars to me, & I didn't want to short-change it (if I find I've been premature, I'll amend my rating in the forums).

Having played only the beta & demo at this point (can't afford to purchase at the moment, even w/ the sale), I started to rate this game 4 stars, as I haven't seen all of it yet; but if the quality of this game remains consistent throughout, it's definitely worthy of 5 stars to me, & I didn't want to short-change it (if I find I've been premature, I'll amend my rating in the forums). Long story short, I like everything about this game so far. I'm enjoying the storyline (there's already been an interesting twist), & both the HO scenes & mini-games have been highly enjoyable. The collectibles consist of a small metal device or sculpture which occurs in each scene & morphing objects in the HO scenes, which is plenty for me; having too many collectibles to keep track of tends to become a burden to me, more so than a pleasure. The graphics are gorgeous, from the skyline of Seattle, to the night sky on Arden, to the bioluminescent flora on same. Unlike many games of late, I haven't found this one to be overwhelmed w/ cinematics, & you can move through the dialogue at your own pace, which is always my preference. I've harped on this dev a lot recently to "re-up their game", & am pleased to say this is the most well-rounded effort I've seen from them in a while; hopefully, this is a portent of things to come. This will be a definite buy for me, & an "email of appreciation" to the devs, as well...I owe them that. :) Show less

I recommend this game!

I have been playing Amaranthine Voyage since The Tree Of Life. This one, number seven just hit my favorite spot. The art work, animation, game play, story line, voice overs, and the music...O the music! It lent so much to the game. In my opinion, Eipix has outdone itself. Gonna be hard to beat this one, but if anyone can do it, Eipix can. I very highly recommend this game.

I recommend this game!

You might want to think twice before you pick up what you think of as a family relic or heirloom because you might never know where it will take you and in this case you could just happen to be whisked away through a portal to another world.

You might want to think twice before you pick up what you think of as a family relic or heirloom because you might never know where it will take you and in this case you could just happen to be whisked away through a portal to another world. As usual, at least in the more recent Amaranthine Voyage games, you play as Eve Glover so it really shouldn’t be a surprise when you encounter an alien capsule in your swimming pool. Almost immediately you step through a portal and into the world of Arden where you find out more about your recently departed grandfather than you ever thought possible.

This developer has almost always presented games with excellent and crisp graphics but unfortunately Legacy of the Guardians isn’t one of them. The graphics seem to be a mixed bag of the original old style with lots of mistiness and then at other times we have crisp and clear scenes. It is my feeling that perhaps the developer was trying to emulate the graphics of the first two games in the series. Aside from the graphics we have voiceovers that are also not too great. Some are very stilted and I felt like I wanted to poke the speaker to wake him up so he could move on.

Where this game becomes excellent, at least for me, is with the puzzles that are quite different than usual and challenging. I have loved spending time solving them. The HOP scenes were varied, with some being interactive and multi-level. There is one HOP that is very different as we move from one room to another to find the objects we need. Even with graphics that are not quite up to par, the puzzles and HOP scenes override that shortcoming. I started playing the game yesterday and am still not quite finished.

The CE version does offer a few extras with collectibles that are sometimes difficult to find. Unfortunately, even though I did purchase the game, the extras are probably not worth the extra cost. Where the CE always becomes a great value is with the in-game Strategy Guide that can be very helpful if one is stuck and needs a bit of help.

The Amaranthine Voyage series is one that for me has been either hit or miss. The original early games in the series were very good but some of the later games have really not been that great. Of the newer games, Winter Neverending is one of the better ones. Although the game is not stellar in some respects, the puzzles and HOP scenes make it one that I believe deserves a high rating. Even though I purchased the game, please try the demo to see if you will find that Legacy of the Guardians is one you will enjoy. Show less

I recommend this game!

The graphics in each location alone can persuade a gamer to appreciate it, even if the story and gameplay are 'same-old'. Honestly, I can't name any other game whose graphics is as stunning as the ones founf in this game.

I recommend this game!
