Tales of Ancient Nights Reviews

Terrible pacing, very short, very sanitary version of Greek mythology, jumped around a lot on the time line, bad transitioning points betweens topics

Not a game at all. All you do is click and it tells a briefly edited version of the Greek Gods. Don't bother purchasing

Short Greek Mythology exploration with clean graphics. It could have been better with a little more interaction.

Don't get me wrong, I liked the game, it was really cute, interesting and the music is soothing BUT there is not any added value to the content itself. Whatever information is given about Olympian mythology is something that you can find for free on the Internet in a much more detailed way and therefore, it couldn't be worth paying for a lower quality one. At the beginning, transitions were great, we were told stories about gods making links between them but at some point, the transitions stopped and we were just provided by 5-lines stories one after another which didn't make much sense. For someone who doesn't know anything about ancient greek mythology, I doubt they would understand anything because 5 lines per story is so short compared to what could've been said. Another thing that changed between the beginning and the ending are the drawing. We get a lot of them at the beginning but reaching the half of the game we don't get any new one and considering that every story could've been provided with a specific one, it's really a shame. Plus, wee didn't really need the drawings about the MC's story since her story is just an excuse for the main purpose of the game (i.e greek mythology). On a technical part, I spotted at least one error in the text and when reaching the end, the game became kind of unresponsive. From the credit screen, I couldn't load my previous save and had to close and restart the game. The game is really short, you can read it in less than an hour. There are two choices in the game and two endings but they're not relevant, whatever you choose and whatever happens doesn't really have an interest regarding the main subject of the game. Plus, there is not any emotional investment from the player for the MC so... do whatever girl, your issues aren't ours. TL;DR - great music and nice art for a first game - some minor technical issues - main character's story is empty and just an excuse - ancient greek mythology is just displayed, not explained I tried to rate this game as fairly as possible but if you're the developper and you're reading this, as I said, don't get me wrong, for a first game, it IS good, the form was nice but the substance was lacking, good idea bad realization, it would've needed much more work on this part.
