Scarytales: All Hail King Mongo

Alright. [i]Scarytales: All Hail King Mongo[/i] is done and dusted. in the genre of Hidden Object Games, I think this one is mediocre. It's not bad, but it's also not really good. It is serviceable though, and a short game overall. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3255973180 One thing I noticed is that some of the objects in the classic 'find this shopping list of items amongst the crowd" did not really make sense in context with the game itself. They were just kind of tossed in to fill out the item quota. Additionally, there were instances where the item wouldn't necessarily trigger when clicked, instances where it was placed in front of something nearly identical to it, and instances where the item could barely be seen at all due to its complete lack of color and detail. The graphics were decent. Pretty classic HoG stuff. The story itself was cookie cutter. Evil dude casts spell on prince and tries to seize control of the kingdom. You, the protagonist and princess have to try and stop him. Nothing to, you know...write home about. ;) The voice acting was bad. Not [i]turrible[/i] bad. But bad. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=32560…

Ahahahahahahah! The bad guy forgot there is "an item" that can negate his powers and was overly shocked in the end by it!! All the while [b]he[/b] was the one who put a magic shield around said "item"!!! XD Otherwise the game is.............. Short and okay. It's nothing fancy. It didn't glitch and well... That's pretty much it.

I enjoyed this game once I figured out how to skip the puzzles (I like the HO scenes, not puzzles). The story moves you along, the artwork is classic and detailed and even without a map it was easy to go back and forth, not tedious. There are quite a few HO scenes which is the point! I have no regrets buying and playing this game.

This was silly, but don't pay money for it. That's about it.

Had this game on a collection disc a while back. After losing said disc, I found it on Steam a few years later. It's not an great game (the puzzles and voice acting leave a lot to be desired) but it was interesting to revisit.

i love this ♥♥♥♥
