King Galanius hasn't been himself lately. Aerin knows something is very wrong, when he lays down the law, and demands she marries the winner of the upcoming Tournament! Her pleads were fruitless, and her fate seems to be signed, and sealed, question is, can she control the delivery? Well, she and Tillian are sure going to try to stack this deck of marriage!

King Galanius hasn't been himself lately. Aerin knows something is very wrong, when he lays down the law, and demands she marries the winner of the upcoming Tournament! Her pleads were fruitless, and her fate seems to be signed, and sealed, question is, can she control the delivery? Well, she and Tillian are sure going to try to stack this deck of marriage!

This is one of my favorite TM game series, and I think the developers must have been listening, because this edition is a little easier to obtain all 3 stars, compared to Elven Legend 4. This is still a strategy based Time Management game, you will still need to queue your tasks in a specific order, but it is obtainable. I remember having to replay most of the levels in the last game, sometimes more than once to achieve all 3 stars! You can play in a Relaxed mode with no timer, Normal, or Hard Mode, and you can replay the levels as often as necessary.

In this Collector's Edition version, each level has a Morphing Hidden Object, and collectible Mask to find. I must admit, I like this feature, however, I just don't see the need to pay twice as much for a CE version just to get a few senseless wallpapers and collectibles.

There are the normal resources to collect, food, wood, stone etc. and the same tasks of clearing the roads, repairing bridges and filling in pits along the way. Queen Aerin will do all the magic work, once she has enough magical crystals to charge her staff, and Tillian also has a few tasks to accomplish as well, as they gather supplies needed to prepare him for the tournament. Aerin will collect Golden Petals, that allows her, aka you, to purchase items to decorate for the wedding. The Wedding Screen gives you a couple of different purchase options for each items, as it slowly transforms the scene into a beautiful Wedding scene.

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. You will need to construct different buildings to help you achieve your goals such as Farms, Workers House's Sawmills and mines. Some levels require items to be Crafted, the 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.

The tournament is held over 5 islands, the Land of the Giants, the Orcish Swamps, the Dwarven Caves, the Elven Kingdom, and the Depth of Dark Elves. The Bonus Chapter takes place in the Warlock's Wasteland, which actually looks really cool.

This Collector's Edition has 8 Wallpapers, 8 Concept Art pictures, 60 Morphing Hidden Objects, 60 Masks to collect, World History Character Bios, a built in Strategy Guide, 50 regular Levels & 10 Bonus Levels, 37 Achievements to earn, and a High Scores board and a Bonus Chapter, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

Another great story with some beloved characters. Chivalry does live! This is one of my favorite TM games. Just one complaint (but it won't take away from the rating) is the misspelled words and errors in the conversations. Just a pet peeve of mine. Doesn't anyone spell check these games??

Another great story with some beloved characters. Chivalry does live! This is one of my favorite TM games. Just one complaint (but it won't take away from the rating) is the misspelled words and errors in the conversations. Just a pet peeve of mine. Doesn't anyone spell check these games?? I am having fun on the normal level, having to replay some over and sometimes over again. After I finish I go back and play on the expert level thus yielding two games for one! HA! I haven't played many TM games as enjoyable and relaxing without the frustration because if I have to replay I can usually figure out the needed flow after awhile. Love it! Show less

These truly do take strategy. They are not just the "gather and go" TM games. Personally, I don't mind having to replay a level to "get" the requirements for it. On a positive note, one doesn't have to replay every level.

The game offers three (3) levels of challenge; untimed, regular, and expert (not under those names). A level of challenge suited for everyone.

Graphics are fun, game play for the most part is smooth. The berry bushes were a tad difficult to grasp at first, trying to figure out when they were ripe. That might just be me though.

Hidden surprises to find on each level. Cute storyline and excellent replay value (with some added cussing on a few - oops).

I do recommend this game. Show less

I should be honest first off about the fact that I love this series, and the most recent one does not disappoint. I gave it high marks in every category, but I especially loved the storyline, and I thoroughly enjoy a game that can be played untimed. I usually go back and play it timed after I play it on "relaxed", but the first run through gets me acclimated to the game and how it works.

I should be honest first off about the fact that I love this series, and the most recent one does not disappoint.

I usually go back and play it timed after I play it on "relaxed", but the first run through gets me acclimated to the game and how it works.

I thought the story line was excellent because you have the usual good and bad characters, but you don't always know which is which - such as when the Queen's father sets up a tournament to marry her off to the winner... without discussing it with her!

This is the usual, collect, build, upgrade type of game. You can play it on one of several difficulty levels, and there are a few that you have to strategize on in order to progress. I think I had to restart one of them four times before I figured out the exact sequence I needed.

Try the demo, and I hope you like it as well as I did. Show less

But evil forces are going to interrupt their adventure no matter which island they're on...and so their delightful adventure begins !!!

The artwork is incredible and the music just enhances the whole game !!!

You'll just have to play the game to find out who actually wins and what their motive is !!!

I know you'll have fun with this one...try the demo and you'll see what I mean !!! Have fun all !!! Show less

To preface this, I likely made the mistake of having a sequel be my first game in a series. I saw that it was popular on the TM category page and didn't think twice about story continuation, or how perhaps it would have been better to experience the game style from the beginning.

To preface this, I likely made the mistake of having a sequel be my first game in a series. I saw that it was popular on the TM category page and didn't think twice about story continuation, or how perhaps it would have been better to experience the game style from the beginning.

Regardless, I'll try to do my best at a review despite such circumstances. Firstly, I'll start with what I liked about the game. I thought the gameplay visuals were absolutely beautiful. I didn't have any problems with the music, either. It was pleasant and seemed to fit the theme well.

However, I unfortunately wasn't very intrigued or interested in the gameplay. At first I thought clearing the path was just a pre-game minigame of sorts, but as I kept playing I realized that was the game. Sure, it's a time management, and it likely would get better the further on you played. However, it just didn't click with me. I didn't enjoy playing what few levels I did.

If not for these mechanics, I would've played for the story to find out what happened, though at face value it felt a bit cliche. Overall, I didn't enjoy this game. Show less

I don't recommend this game.
