The system seemed arbitrary, too: sometimes Titus would simply explain why I couldn’t use an item, but other times the game would just take 30 seconds off the clock. Since part of the point-and-click adventure is experimentation – using ingenuity to figure out what item has to be used on what object in the scene – it seemed unfair to punish the player for not getting it right the first time. Like most hidden object games, there’s also a penalty for "incorrect" clicking. I wasn’t so enthusiastic the time limits to complete each book, however. I liked the fact that you could leave a book half-finished and select a different one from the library shelf, meaning that if you get stuck on a particular puzzle you can leave and come back to it later. They’re carefully woven into the puzzle scenes initially, but after clearing that particular book you can go back and play the mini-game by itself at any time.

Helping Jonathan Harker escape from Dracula’s castle, or Hansel and Gretel avoid becoming a witch’s dinner, or the Invisible Man find a potion to turn him visible again, are just a few of the scenarios you’ll encounter.Īzada: Ancient Magic has its fair share of mini-games as well. And within the pages of each book, the magic has brought to life classic literary characters for you to interact with. An item found in one page, for example, may have to be used in another page, and some puzzles involve figuring out ways to get characters to move from one page to another if they happen to be blocking an item you need to grab.Īnother big difference is that now you don’t just have one book to explore, but many – 21 to be precise. Where puzzles in Azada were limited to one screen, Azada: Ancient Magic has evolved from one-page puzzles to puzzles that span multiple pages of the book. You can pick up certain items and add them to your inventory, and you’ll frequently have to combine items to make new ones, such as fitting pieces of a shovel together to dig a soft spot on the ground.

Gameplay is similar to other point-and-click adventure games where you interact with objects in the scene to solve puzzles. You must work your way through each of the books solving the puzzles laid out in their pages in order to solve the mystery. This time it’s to get to the bottom of a strange enchantment that’s hovering over the books in his Great Uncle Argus’s library and causing their characters to act strangely. Since you solved the Book of Azada in the first game, Titus asks for your help again. Azada: Ancient Magic expands on Azada‘s groundwork by crafting a more sophisticated experience that is, most importantly, still accessible to fans.
