Alicia Quatermain: Secrets Of The Lost Treasures Reviews

This is a great game in the time management category, I especially appreciated the difficulty levels so whichever mood I'm in at the time I could enjoy playing.

Alicia Quartermain: Secrets of the Lost is a casual resource/time management strategy game similair to 12 Labours of Hercules. Alicia is a treasure hunter and travels to various lands. At the start of each level, you have 1 or 2 workers who you direct to do various tasks ranging from collecting resourses to constructing and upgrading buildings or gold mines. Alicia explodes carts and defuses bombs that are in the way. Overall it's a very enjoyable time management and if you're a fan of the genre you should pick it up.

Basically the 12 labours of hercules, but as always, is an excellent little game that eats a little time whenever you fancy playing. collect resources within a time limit and move to the next level. Not difficult, but i'm always surprised at how enjoyable these games are lol

Although i like the serien of Quartermain i do not recommend this part. I had quiete a far progress. But The cloudsave isnt working here either so i lost everything. tl;dr it is very time consuming !

If you liked the 12 Labours of Hercules, you'll like this. It's the same game but with a new character & story.

Pros: -A better looking version of 12 Labours Of Hercules. Cons: - Everything else. - The levels are mostly linear, you can complete them with 2 or 3 workers - The pace of the game is much slower. - Resource highlights aren't available so you have no way of knowing which resources are collectible. You'll spend a lot of time mousing over various resources to see if they can be collected yet. - Timed resources don't need to be collected. They automatically get added to your inventory which dumbs this game down considerably. If you liked 12 Labours of Hercules then give this a try but don't expect much enjoyment.

Published by Jet Dogs, known in this genre for their 12 Labours of Hercules series, but developed by a different company and it shows. The interface lacks all of the refinements Jet Dogs has developed over their games (it's difficult to tell which levels you've played; regenerating resources aren't marked and blend into the background; you can't un-queue resources; etc.) and the English localization obviously wasn't beta tested given how many times the storyline text gets cut off mid-sentence. Not unplayable, but if you're used to Jet Dogs other offerings, you'll be disappointed. Hopefully Whalebox's next offerings will be more polished.

[h1]Short version: 80%[/h1] Alicia Quartermain is a balanced, fast-paced, and fun time management game, but one that falls in the easy category even for a casual genre. [h1]Long version:[/h1] Alicia Quartermain: Secrets of the Lost will surely feel familiar for many, since it not only uses the standard time management game mechanics of ordering around some workers to gather resources for glorified road works or building construction, but it is also largely reminiscent of the [url=http://store.steampowered.com/search/?term=12+Labours+of+Hercules]12 Labours of Hercules series[/url]. One of the core aspects of this game is its fast pace: the stages are small and crowded, so it is easy to clear them out, even with our 2-3 workers, with next to no downtime. Additionally, stockpile is very limited and production buildings are either automatic or replenish in seconds, so the game emphasises constant action instead of strategic resource management. Since this means we never really run out of anything, there are no parts on any stage we cannot solve by simply waiting a few seconds. Despite this speed, the game is still easy on any difficulty. There are plenty of levels (50+5) to entertain us for a good while, but do not expect to spend more than a few hours getting the perfect 3-star score on each.

This is along the same vein as the 12 Labours of Hercules series, and I enjoyed it very much. It was fairly easy to get 100% Achievements, something that is not that easy in the 12 Labours series anymore with the addition of having to beat the Dev's records in every level! It was quirky, and the art style was nice. There were some interesting mistakes in the level descriptions since it looks like english was not their native language. For example, in two or three levels the description of the level was cut off abruptly. There were also typos here and there, but it didn't detract from my experience. I also loved the animations that Alicia and her friends make when they complete each level. They sort of do a dance to the music. I liked it!:hercules_is_happy: All in all, I highly recommend this game. If you like time-management games, you can't go wrong with this one!

Alicia Quatermain: Secrets of the Lost Treasures is basically [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/342580/12_Labours_of_Hercules/]12 Labours of Hercules[/url] dressed up in different clothing, and I'm completely fine with that. JetDogs has the time management formula down to perfection, and as long as the tuning remains tight yet forgiving while allowing for flexible strategies and featuring top notch presentation, I will always gobble these games up as fast as they can make them. Once again, you're tasked with completing a set of goals in order to proceed to the next level. While the goals vary, the general concept is the same; collect resources and perform specific tasks before the timer expires. Efficiently managing your workers is at the heart of the gameplay, although it's by no means necessary if you want to play more casually (and there are 3 different difficulty modes to fit a variety of players' tastes), but doing so adds strategic depth to what is in essence a very simple game. The more effort you put into challenging yourself, the more reward you'll get for it. There are a couple mechanics that are unique to this series. Bandits will leave timed bombs on paths which need to be defused before they blow leaving a gaping hole in their wake which takes quite a bit of resources to repair. Not being prepared for these can mean the difference between snagging 2 and 3 stars. You can also repair and upgrade buildings that give a steady income of resources without the need to gather. Juggling these buildings with how quickly you can gather your own resources from replenishable nodes adds flexibility to the gameplay, and I'm always for more strategic options in these games. The presentation is great with simple yet pleasing cartoon graphics, quality acting by Alica's VA, and another great soundtrack. There are also story snippets in the beginning of each level which give a short description of what's going on. Sometimes a bit of dialogue is exchanged between Alicia and her workers or the enemies too, which makes the characters feel a bit more dynamic. The only complaint I have is a few typos here and there, and a handful of story snippets that don't completely fit into the description window and cut off part of the last sentence. I didn't find this to be a deal breaker as the gameplay more than makes up for it, but others may be more annoyed by it than myself. If you're a fan of time/resource management games, there's no reason not to buy this game. The value for your money is phenomenal, even at full price. I certainly hope further entries in Alicia Quatermain's series makes it over to Steam. These titles would make excellent additions to my time management game library.
