Finally, an HO that has some color! This was actually a pleasant game to look at. Nice bright colors.
Game play moves along and doesn't stray from the story line. You have the typical HO back and forth but not to the point of aggravation. Everything has a purpose and moves you along.

I liked the game. Most of the mini-games and hops weren't the ones I liked. The characters, story and game-play are what I liked about the game. The zero skip on the custom setting helped a lot in my enjoyment.

It has 6 chapters. 13 hops and 23 puzzles.

It has 6 chapters. 13 hops and 23 puzzles.

The hops were more puzzle like and I like a artful scene with a list. Slide rule hops, turning a circle for images and acid recipe hops are puzzle like. The puzzles I did like were dexterity, jigsaw, matching, wooden map, moving shards and pairs.

The ending is heartfelt and I wish it would have shown multiple or any transformations. (only people who finish the game would know what I'm talking about).

Even with all the things I didn't like, I still liked the game. Show less

Spirit Legends Solar Eclipse is the second game in the Spirit Legends series from Domini Games. Domini happens to be a developer whose games I generally enjoy but as with the first game in this series, Solar Eclipse fell flat for me. Okay, playing games and our reaction to them is very subjective so not everyone will feel the same about any game so there will be many who like this game but unfortunately, I am not one of them.

When I began playing Solar Eclipse, my senses were overwhelmed by the overuse of blues and purples for the graphics in the game. Domini Games loves their intense, colorful graphics and for the most part so do I but when that color palette relies on blue and purple, it simply becomes a bit too unrealistic and too much for me. Not only did I find the color palette too intense, the voices of the trolls were so irritating that I couldn’t stand to hear them. Speaking of voiceovers, I gave a high-five to the reviewer of the CE who said that the word bestiary was mispronounced. Every time I heard the pronunciation I cringed. Do the editors not know proper grammar and pronunciation? It is my hope that if there is ever another Spirit Legends game that the editing team will certainly go to Google and look up how the word is correctly pronounced.

Since Domini Games is a favorite developer who always goes the extra mile by certainly giving us value for the cost of their games, I generally purchase them without bothering with the demo. In the case of Solar Eclipse that was a huge mistake. Yes the HOS and the Puzzles are great so there is no complaint with that part of the game BUT I had to quit the game early on because I couldn’t deal with the storyline that at times made no sense, horrid voiceovers, and then there is the HUGE issue with the graphics.

As much as I enjoy fantasy type games this one simply wasn’t my cup of tea. I doubt that I will ever purchase another Spirit Legends game without trying the demo. My hope is that in their future games Domini will tone down some of their graphics so that they are a bit easier on the eyes.

What I did find excellent in the game were the puzzles and some of the HOS. The Bestiary, a spell book used to tame beasts, requires that we play mini games before each use and some of those were excellent and well-constructed. The gameplay was not always easy, and I did have to use the hint button quite frequently, in fact more often than usual. If all you want in a game is to find an abundance of puzzles with few HOS, then this is the game for you!

In the end I didn’t finish the game because the voiceovers and all those blue and purple tones were overwhelming and at times simply irritating. Even though Spirit Legends is not a game I enjoyed, I recommend that you try the demo because the game might be perfect for you. Happy gaming! Show less

Completed Game approximately 6.0 hours
(including the CE Bonus Chapter and all mini-games)

It's hard to stop a Troll, especially an Angry Troll. Jorlis has lost his only daughter, even worse, he watched his daughter turn to stone before his very eyes. The trolls have been cursed, forced to live their lives by the light of the moon, the sun is their nemesis, but so are the Hunters who dedicate their lives to eradicating these "Monsters" But what if the sun never rose? What if the night never ended? What would it take to allow Trolls the freedom of life without the fear of stone? What if this freedom could be achieved with an eternal Solar Eclipse? What if all it took was the soul of a Troll Hunter? What if you're the Monster Hunter!

The biggest problem I have with this game is that once again Domini stretched the game way too much. Chapters 1-4 were a perfect length, chapter 5 a little bit long but not too bad. Chapter 6 totally lost my attention span because it just dragged on and on. It didn't progress the story, it was just one mini-game after another with a bunch of meaningless tasks requiring me to find and use the same inventory items that I ditched at least 4 or 5 times in the previous chapters. After completing the main game I walked away for hours before forcing myself to play the Collector's Edition Bonus Chapter the size of all 6 main chapters combined. I don't want to repeat the same tasks a thousand times just for the sake of stretching the appearance of a game..just saying...

What kind of Gadget did Domini give us this time, you may ask? Why a Bestiary Book to turn vicious monsters into harmless pets, of course! The Bestiary Book is used 7 times, once you complete a random mini-game that has nothing to do with that particular creature. The good news is that the mini-game is different each time, and they actually aren't bad games for the most part. The CE version Morphing Paintings are somewhat obscure but still rather obvious, but I thought the CE version Scrolls were creatively blended into the scenery.

There are 13 Main & 4 smaller Zoom Zone Hidden Object Scenes +5 in the CE Bonus Chapter, and there is an alternate Match 3 game available. Surprisingly, the HOP's get better towards the end, mainly because they were creative variations such as Horizontal & Vertical Sliders to match with pictures in the scene, Spot the Differences, Rotating Disk Sections to align objects, where the first half of the game only offered Interactive Listed items, Silhouetted Shapes and Keywords in Sentence finds. Two of my favorites was finding Matching Pairs of beautiful and very colorful birds, and a Riddle puzzle where you had to select two associated items. (_+_=Ballerina)

There are 30 Mini-Games +12 in the CE Bonus Chapter, including 7 Bestiary Book puzzles (each one different). I really liked most of the puzzles but the last 2 chapters worth about did me in, it was just puzzle after puzzle with no progression to the story and very few HO's to break up the chain of mini-games. If you're not a puzzle fan, you probably won't enjoy this game. Below are brief descriptions of some of my favorites. ㋛

1~Align chips so the ones on the center disk are adjacent to the matching ones on the outer disk, by rotating groups of chips. დ
2~Use directional arrows to move 2 tokens through a labyrinth alternating movements to open up various gates for each other. დდდ
3~Move crystal shards into place by clicking on various attachments.
4~Place tiles into empty slots according to clues on rows & columns. დ
5~Rotate kite sections into place and then place duel-colored feathers in between kite sections according to the color combinations. დდდ
6~Place color-coded feathers on empty slots by finding the color pattern.
7~Use directional arrows to move the amulets to the central slot. დ

The Collector's Edition version Bonus Chapter is so long you'd think it was an actual full-length release. You play as momma Amber who freaks out when daughter Evelyn goes MIA and does what any mother would do, hunt down the bad guy and make him regret the day he was born. Okay, maybe it's not quite that dramatic, but it does involve GOT (anyone else want a final season redo?) scenario of "The Faceless" only nowhere near as awesome. (anyone else wanna know why didn't she become a man w/o a face in the end?) There are 12 Mini-Games and 5 Hidden Object Scenes in the CE version BC and you will find the remaining 3 Morphing Paintings (say that 3'xs fast) 3 Scrolls, and 6 Medals (of various amounts) to purchase the remaining Observatory items. If you don't get bored playing the main game, the length of this BC chapter is worthy of the CE price. (16 pages according to the SG)

The Collector's Edition has 20 Wallpapers, 20 Concept Art pictures, 5 Music Soundtracks, 35 Movie Video Cutscenes (sit back and watch the show folks) 33 Achievements, 27 Replayable Mini-Games, 18 Replayable Hidden Object Scenes, 15 Morphing Paintings (learn about the Troll Culture) 15 Collectible Scrolls (well hidden, bio's on past/present member's of the Order of Monster Hunters) 10 Missing Notes (technically they are found notes once you click on them) 70 Zoom Zone Medals to buy 13 Observatory Items, 6 Main Chapters +Bonus Chapter and a Built-in Strategy Guide.
