The Musketeers: Victoria's Quest Reviews

This is a nice little resource management game, sort of like 12 Labours of Hercules. Loosely following the Three Musketeers novel, but with some changes (for instance the main character in the game is female), you have to collect materials to clear levels as you progress. Quite fun.

I have played a lot of these games and this one is somehow both easier and more difficult than any other one that I have played. I've gotten three stars on all the levels that I've completed regardless of how long it took me to get through them. However, there's this arbitrary jump in difficulty in some level's where you absolutely must go in a specific way or you'll run out of resources. I finally rage quit and uninstalled the game after I restarted the same level for the fourth time and got down to the last three things in my path when I realized that I was supposed to come this way first and now I didn't have the resources to finish.

Ok time management game. (I've completed 13 levels.) Yes, you have to plan ahead a little: make sure you don't needlessly expend resources that you don't have a producer for, and then you won't get stuck. It's still a lot of waiting and watching the little people run back and forth, but that comes with the genre. I like that it has a crafting system as well, and the levels and missions feel well designed, and the challenges vary. Good enough if you like that sort of game.

[Edit] I never heard back, but I did figure out the issue for myself. I am able to play the game now, so I changed the review to "Yes". [Original] I actually really love this game, but it currently crashes just before the main menu loads and is unplayable. I purchased it 3 years ago and I have played it many times, but when I went to play it again a few days ago I ran into this issue. I have emailed them to see what the issue is (after going through all the usual trouble-shooting steps with Steam). If I hear back and the issue is resolved, I will happily change this review. In the meantime, don't waste your money on an unplayable game.

One of the most difficult RESOURCE MANAGING time management games I've ever played. It's quite an older game in the genre but don't let that fool you. There's a little more story that's going on as you play the game and that's something that makes it different IMO to other games alike. Gonna update this review once I invest more time into it. It has begun to be better than I expected and I am glad that I gave it a chance. I recommend it and it's definitely a VERY challenging game to 3 star each level.

Not well thought out. you sometimes have to wait 10 minutes for the market to produce the item you need. also you will have to restart a level several times because you run out of supplies and there is no way to get where you need to get. Not fun.

An unusally deep Time Management Game. In the first few levels there is the possibility of having to restart because you used a resource you needed to get past a certain point, but you can quickly learn to check what is available for use and within 3 levels I found this to no longer be an issue for me. I wish this game had more levels, or had sequels as I enjoy it a lot. I find it relaxing though difficult to attain perfection playing in timed mode so I listen to either music or an audiobook and play in relaxed mode.

Resource managment game without a time limit factor. I absolutely loved it. The levels take longer to complete than most games in this genre, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Awesome game. I wish there was a sequel, or another title done the same way.

A really charming (and additive!) resource management game. The core loop is simple – You want to get from Point A to Point B and you have a mini-objective along the way. Clear the path to your end goal by gathering resources and clearing obstacles. Obstacles cost resources to clear. Spend resources to build buildings that give you more resources. The game gradually introduces more mechanics as you go (crafting, inventory items you can equip for bonuses, boosts, etc) The levels and objectives are varied, the story is simple but sweet, and the music and sound FX are enjoyable. 10/10 Recommended

I’d like to give a mixed review, but since I can't, I'll give it thumbs down for all the backtracking. It’s a simple resource management game with 45 levels. Pros It has some nice artwork, and you can play through the levels without a timer. Cons You might have to restart the level if you make one mistake. This is especially frustrating because you might not realize the mistake until the end of the level. In addition, some levels require large stockpiles to solve them, so even if you don’t make any mistakes, you are stuck waiting until you can accumulate enough items to complete the level. Another flaw, there is not enough in-game explanation. For example, I had problems with level 8 because I ran out of stones for construction and I thought the market produced only gold. The market actually produces a random item so you will get stones if you wait long enough. However, there is absolutely no explanation provided and after getting gold three times in a row from the market, I had no reason to suspect that stones were forthcoming.
