Demon Hunter: Chronicles from Beyond

First episode of the Demon Hunter series, this hidden object game is one of the first achievements of the Serbian Studio brave giant, specialized in this genre, to which one owes also the series Queen's quest. The two series released their 4th episode at the beginning 2018 and are still edited by artifex Mundi. Screenplay Prof. Ashmore was murdered in his Iowa Island residence while conducting experiments on what appeared to be dimensional portals. His assistant Alexander VOR has disappeared and is logically designated as a suspect. Dawn Harlock, the heroine of the game, was collected and raised by Ashmore and decides to find the culprit. The case will quickly take a supernatural turn and interrogate dawn on her own identity. A short bonus chapter, excessively composed of SOC, extends a little adventure gameplay a little exploration, many SOC, very usual and fairly easy mini-games, objects to use in the right way, an inventory and a system of help: one is really in the most classic form of hidden object games. Small particularity, some objects that one must find in the SOC change their appearance to complicate a little their localization. Artistic direction some environments are acceptable but the SOC are frankly ugly and the animations are generally very cheap. Technical aspects the game is really not very ambitious on this plan and even if we have seen much worse in the genre and there is no bug to report. On the other hand, there are still many examples of wacky French translation, especially in SOC. Final evaluation it is perhaps the first game of the Studio brave giant that has made several much better than that since, it is still quite disappointing to find a game of such mediocre quality at artifex Mundi. Apart from the fact that it impresses neither technically nor artistically, it does not bring anything original either in the script or in the puzzles. So we find mini-games seen and reviewed and we find ourselves right from the start to have to have a broom to clean a small Spider Web (because we obviously dare not to put your hand in while we are ready to save mankind), to have to look for oil because there is a rusty thing that sticks (while even the salad can be eaten without oil), to have to rely on the umpteenth providential presser foot (but that we find clever to transfer from our inventory after a single use), to have to make a small derisory service to a passer-by who has nothing else to do but to stay stuck waiting for us before we can try to save the world. And then this scenario that is absolutely not exploited and that is easily forgotten very quickly during the game both the heroine and the NPC lacks personality, charisma and depth. So good, I put a blue thumb anyway because the title is nothing completely distasteful and it will be suitable for the enthusiasts of the genre where to those who would like to do the whole series from the beginning. It takes less than 4H to complete the entire game, including bonus chapter, without help. To be taken nevertheless on sale at-70% or in case of a good offer for the bundle.
