In a land of enchantment, torn by evil, a hero arrives to save the day! His name is Solar, and he brings courage, bravery, and skill with a sword.

As you go, you'll put your time and resource management skills to work rebuilding towns, completing quests for friends you make along the way, and stopping the enemy from striking. Told with a laugh and a wink, Ballad of Solar is a colorful, challenging and utterly unforgettable adventure for all ages!

This is an adventure game with a difference. From the same studio as Outta This Kingdom, you have to help a few fun characters complete their missions. There are several stages within each level so that you can stop and save easily.

This is an adventure game with a difference. From the same studio as Outta This Kingdom, you have to help a few fun characters complete their missions. There are several stages within each level so that you can stop and save easily.
This isn't like the other strategy/builder games in that it's not just about building things and collecting rent. You have to find tools to get certain jobs done and each level presents different challenges.
There are two modes - adventure, where only some levels are timed - and heroic, which is harder and they're all timed. I think even if you miss the time though, you can still continue - just without a star.
If you liked Outta This Kingdom, you'll love this! Show less

I don't usually like this kind of cartoonish time management game but I must admit I tried the demo and I like it! The princess has been kidnapped and is being held prisioner by the evil wizard and it's up to you and the prince to free her. The first scene starts you out with a tutorial and it's easy to learn what needs to be done, and quickly because you are timed. Basically when you start a new level you set up camp and you must guide your men by clicking on piles of wood for example to be cleared from the path after they chop up the wood you must pick up the wood to earn money, there will be rock piles, gold piles, apple trees to collect apples mills to rebuild bushes to shake bridges to repair, all of which gives you some kind of reward of food or money or even tools. You will help out ogres who will join you in your quest and you will help out the locals along the way to retrieve lost items. So I recommend you at least try the demo because you might be suprised to learn that you become addicted to this game as well. Show less

The graphics and voices are well done. The storyline is typical "save the kingdom" but the gameplay is a little different from your average TM game. There's 2 different modes Adventure #not always timed# and Heroic #timed and more difficult to complete#. And it isn't just building but finding objects and collecting resources and allies along the way. It's a nice pace and a good but not overly taxing challenge. Show less

Glossy visuals, fun characters, good story, different than other TM games in that the main character gathers sidekicks along the way, which interact in the environment. Awesome !

The main reason why I gave this game a five star is because the developers placed a lot of thought into this game by using their imagination on how to do something different from the norm. First, some levels are timed others are not. Depending on what you pick (adventure or heroic). The adventure is half and half timed while heroic is all timed.

The main reason why I gave this game a five star is because the developers placed a lot of thought into this game by using their imagination on how to do something different from the norm. First, some levels are timed others are not. Depending on what you pick (adventure or heroic). The adventure is half and half timed while heroic is all timed. The graphic is crisp and and the characters are not ugly looking (even though some look funny). I like on how the characters interact with each other and how the story continues on to the next level. The music fits in with the story (medieval times) and animals sounds are what they suppose to be. It's fun, challenging but most of all a lot of imagination. Show less

To start with I don't like TM games that are timed and make you stress your heart & soul out. That just isn't why I play computer games! But this one, just like Outta this Kingdom is only semitimed, provides lots of fun and for this one also unusually good 3D animations!

I love time management games of this sort, many aspects and facets to the story and what has to be collected in sequence.
Difficulty increasing as you progress through the game, tutorials not too intrusive.
Let's have more of these
