Darkness and Flame: Born of Fire Collector's Edition

I am using it to learn Spanish, for which it is very good. Not sure why anyone would play it just for "fun"

cool

This is high on the scale on the Mountain Crime Requital scale. The full 3D sequences were a joy to watch, some of the voice acting is so-so, but overall pretty nice. The only negative point I would say is that it has a few brute-force type puzzle where you're supposed to figure out the sequence through sheer trial and error. That really isn't a "puzzle" in my opinion. I would still recommend this game!! :D

EXCELLENT

It's rather relaxing sometimes to not be chased by bad guys, shot at or otherwise running for my life. This series provides easy to moderate puzzles and real time map tracking so you don't get lost or wonder what to do next with the items you collect. the storylines are cheesy and non-emotive in the reading but I skipped most of that. Overall, worth the few dollars for 5-6 hours of entertainment.

Darkness and Flame 1 is an average Hidden Object Mystery set in a magical world with traces of post-apocalyptic technology, much like Shannara. I like that the hidden object scenes are entirely process based, where you find things in the room and use them in logical ways to accomplish a given goal. I don't like that the fetch quest items, especially in the bonus chapter, tend not to have logical reasons to be so scattered about. Hopefully the sequels hold together better. The bad guys are a nameless possessed force, but there's a nice art style to their living castle. The young protagonist is decent, but her uncle has a very bad habit of not offering advice on where to find the objects he hid throughout the countryside. I really disliked the inability to rotate the Tetris pieces to fill out the space of one puzzle and, for some reason, they went and made that theme of the bonus mini-games in the Extras Menu.
