Talesworth Adventure: The Lost Artifacts Reviews

Like the talesworth puzzle games on kongregate

Excellent successor to the Flash game

Fun little game, with well rounded difficulty and variety for a few hours of play

One of my all time favorite puzzle games since its original release as an online flash game. You use a kind of graphical programming logic to lead an adventurer through each level. It's really intuitive and most puzzles can be solved in several ways. I found the difficulty to be perfectly balanced, requiring a good amount of thought and planning without being insultingly easy or frustratingly hard. A short game that doesn't overstay its welcome, it took me about 5 hours to 100%.

If you're searching for a brain-scratcher that boasts elegant puzzles with no less elegant solutions, look no further. The Lost Artifacts is a second instalment of a browser game duology I used to play on Kongregate. In this chapter, Questy is an established hero of the Talesworth Kingdom... who drank away all of the money he made during his previous adventure. Luckily, there's another threat to get rich off. Some Necromancer is up to no good, so our boy is about to obtain a few artifacts and kick his ass. But the road leading to his layer is long and paved with clearly defined 3-star challenges. Swanky, but I think the dev should upload the first part, too. The puzzles were just as solid and the unique eye-popping art style looked better. I digress. Our hero is a braindead dumbass who'd fall in a pit or run in circles forever without your guidance. All he needs to do is get through a perilous labyrinth full of fiends and traps, one room at a time. To accomplish that task, you get to indirectly control Questy's actions by placing different lures and blockers on his way. Yeah, like Lemmings! The arsenal of tools and obstacles, which gets periodically expanded, includes weapons to kill enemies of matching colours, loot bags to harness Questy's greed, levers and doors, meat to lure bad guys, arrow traps, etc. Almost every mechanic has at least one alternative application, which is a sure sign of good design. It's a game of lateral thinking and trial-and-error where perfect predictions go wrong and finally executing your plan after ages of "what does it want from me!?" begets gratification without fail. Talesworth, indeed, feels like a hazardous adventure, whose difficulty correlates with the goofy tone: it's a pleasantly hard yet not ball-breaking challenge. If you're in the mood for fantasy puzzlers, I think this one goes well in tandem with Dungeons of Dreadrock. Here's a [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/magerama/recommended/1896880?snr=1_5_9__402]review[/url] if you want it. That should satiate your hunger for this particular breed of games somewhat. Talesworth is built on a strong concept and its puzzle design is nothing short of brilliant. Just don't knock it until you try it. Your brain will thank you for a pleasant time. I played casually, but you can add another couple of hours of playtime if you go for 100%. Maybe more. It would be a thousand for my dopey ass. Hey, I'm just glad to see certain Flash devs finally getting some hard-earned dough! My curator [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35305390-Big-Bad-Mutuh/?appid=262060]Big Bad Mutuh[/url]
