The Saint: Abyss of Despair

Very short HO game that can be beaten in an hour and a half to two hours without hints, the only reason I've got more playtime than that is idling for cards. Pros: - Steam Achievements and trading Cards - Low Price Cons: - Too few Hidden-Object puzzles. I think there were like 6 actual HO puzzles - No fast travel, but honestly this has the smallest map I've ever seen in a HO game - Poor instructions on Non-hidden-object puzzles. - Lots of back tracking - While the story was easy to follow it was pretty poorly written. - No replay value easy to get all of the achievements in the first run in around or under 2 hours. It's been well over a decade since I remember playing a game by this publisher and while the artwork quality is about the same (though I'm uncertain as to when this game released) the quality of this game is one of the worst Hidden object games I've ever played. No QOL features, like 6 hidden object puzzles that take 30 to 40 seconds, maybe 8 other minigames, Nothing unlocked after beating the game, no replay value. Voice actors didn't match up with the characters they were portraying and so on. The only real positive things I can say about this game…

A pretty okay game. Its really simple and the minigames and HOS´ are pretty easy. There is one minigame that is a bit hard but still not hard to manage. All in one is the game and the story pretty ok. The voiceovers a re mostly pretty bad or not really normal. Its kind of recommendable.

Rating: ★★★★★ The Saint: Abyss of Despair is a captivating adventure that seamlessly blends mystery, puzzle-solving, and a touch of the mystical. From the moment I delved into this game, I was immediately drawn to its unique atmosphere and intricate storyline. One standout feature that added an extra layer of intrigue for me was the inclusion of Persian signs, lending an authentic and culturally rich feel to the overall gaming experience. The game's narrative follows a compelling storyline that unfolds in a mysterious and desolate environment. As the player, you embark on a quest to unravel the secrets of the abyss and overcome numerous challenges along the way. The Persian signs scattered throughout the game not only contribute to the immersive setting but also showcase a thoughtful attention to detail that sets The Saint apart from other adventure games. The visual aesthetics with beautifully rendered scenes that transport players to a world shrouded in enigma. The attention to detail in incorporating Persian signs adds an extra layer of authenticity to the environment, making it feel both exotic and familiar. The puzzles in the game are well-crafted, offering a satisfying le…

Good little game. A couple of HOGs had two of an item. A Bag and a Hat. Sometimes things would not respond properly.

All things considered, for an hidden object game, this one has a few things going for it. The music is excellent, and little touches like animations in some of the locales are good. The attempt to incorporate African culture/myth is fairly unique as well. That being said, there are issues. Some of the voiceovers are terrible - I'm looking at you old man who wants soup. Several of the puzzles are pretty obtuse, and at times you have to be very precise with the mouse clicks. That being said, in all it is worht a few hours to play through. 7 out of 10 ancient African demons.

I really liked the story and the setting in this one. It's a little on the short side, but that's ok since it's so cheap
