Lost Artifacts: Golden Island Reviews

I like figuring out how to use the resources wisely but I wish there was a way to turn off the timer. I play games to wind down.

The usual time management game. On the short side, also pretty easy. Achievements work fine, easy 100 %.

Fun puzzles, got a little too easy after awhile, but still an enjoyable, relaxing puzzle game.

Delightful game. Simple, enjoyable and relaxing. The levels are generally short, so it's a great game for short bursts of attention or time.

I have played through the first couple of levels and have really been liking it. The time management side of it is really fun. Also I really enjoy the art style they used. The developers throw a little more at you every level making it a little bit harder every time. I would recommend playing! Check out the first couple of levels here: https://youtu.be/W7BEFjaAVoM

A great game to pick up now and again to play a few levels to just have some random fun. Luckily, without any of those annoying 'beat the developer' achivements which only add an unnecessary feeling of competition to an otherwise really relaxing game. Played over half the levels so far and didn't encounter any random bugs or anything of the sort. Can recommend it for anyone who's into casual games like this one.

I've played almost all of the 12 Labours, Gnomes Garden and Rescue Team time management titles on steam and this is by far the worst game of the genre I have played. Somehow the devs managed to create a sequel to Ancient Tribe Survival with worse graphics that will give you eyestrain and worse sound effects that will induce a headache in no time at all. Seriously, they added a beep/chime effect when you collect a recourse that I can only assume they managed to find in a Spectrum 48k sound archive. While I liked the slight change in mechanic with resources and resource structures, compared the slightly bland but solid original this is a giant step backwards and that's not even factoring in the 300% higher price compared to the original. Even if you are desperate for some more time management goodness, I would avoid this title.

Lost Artifacts: Golden Island is a basic time management game similar to 12 Labors of Hercules. The graphics are not that great, they okay. Music/sounds are just okay, nothing special. The levels are well balanced and challenging. I've played much better, but this will do for the time management itch.

Completely generic and unmemorable. Barely a story. Incredibly easy; most of the levels have very generous time limits and few require any planning ahead. "Over 20 hours of exciting gameplay" is a straight-up lie; I 100%ed it in 5 hours, and even if you're unusually bad at time management games, I can't imagine it taking more than 10. (Also it wasn't particularly exciting.) An especially poor value at the regular $14.99 price, higher than most other time management games on Steam.

Got it at -90% discount, and well at that price it's probably worth it, but still it has some really annoying issues. Why the hell do you make hard for player to check the costs of clearing items? There are popups but those have annoying delay. And What's even worse imo is that you can't check anything before game starts. So there's no real way to plan. And then you realize there's no restart button, not even return to main menu button. Come on, sometimes I know I screw up getting 3 stars, why not let me restart??
