Witches' Legacy: Slumbering Darkness Collector's Edition Reviews

This Game Is Awesome

If you loose your map just back out of the area and go back in you will get your map working again. Other then that its a great game!!!

This fifth entry in the [I]Witches' Legacy[/I] series is forgettable, even worse than the previous one. The story has been lackluster in this series for a while but here it's especially shallow. The point-and-click puzzles make no sense at all, involving collecting arbitrary items for various magical locks and spells. Just click everything with everything until it works. Deduction won't help you.

Well, Lynn and Edward have now been married a year. They decide to visit a circus, and take in a puppet show… and of course, some evil nutjob decides to kidnap them in order to release his master. Based on the cutscene at start-up… this is VERY bad. Guess you’ll need to save the couple and the world while you’re at it! The plot is engaging, the HO scenes fun, and the minigames challenging. Get in the bundle.

Got 3/4 of the way through the game and it locked up in a puzzle. Couldn't skip, couldn't reset, even tried logging off for over 24 hours and still stuck. The puzzle where you move the pieces so the guided metal hand can pick up the key. Can't do anything with it, so uninstalling and marking as "broken" in my list. The game was ok, story kind of interesting, but not worth playing a second time because of bad programming.

Another excellent HOPA in the Witches' Legacy series. I didn't enjoy this one quite as much as the others, but it's still a solid entry in a top-notch series of games. My one comment is that it feels a little more disjointed, story-wise, than the others. Pros: - beautiful art - excellent HO scenes and lots of them (these games really stand out for me in terms of pleasant, interesting HO scenes that sometimes challenge, but rarely frustrate) - very nice music - consistent voice acting (I like the main character best - the two younger characters still sound a bit wooden to me) - the plot advances from story to story - good variety in style and level of puzzles - the game has all the modern conveniences in terms of settings, interactive map, and strategy guide (i.e, official walkthrough) Cons: - the game felt a little rushed at the end, not in terms of timing (it's a good length), but as though bits and pieces got tossed in that just didn't need to be there and weren't really explained or explored - object interaction (what to use where, what to combine with what) is a bit less intuitive than in previous games; I spent more time just trying everything to see if it would work Despite minor flaws, this is a good game, and enjoyable. I recommend the series as a whole very highly to any HOPA fan.

Game was going well until I was doing a sliding puzzle using a robots arm to move the pieces. Robots arm froze. Can't skip or reset the puzzle. Shut the game down and restarted, but still stuck in that spot. I'm too far in to start all over again. So thumbs down for the bad programming. Another person has had the same problem. Be wary if you play this game. Maybe skip the puzzle so you won't get stuck.
