Queen's Quest 3: The End of Dawn reviews

Translated by

Third "part" of the series "Queen's quest", there is nothing connected to the other two (as the two was not connected to one), and not see any connection between these three Opus that bear the same name is a little disturbing (the child is neither Queen nor Princess , but a student in a magic Academy). So we find our heroine (Oh a girl to change!!), Eliana, the day of her examination of magic/Alchemy... And then it is the drama that I will not spoiler, but Eliana will go to save the universe/solve full of problems from the world. And the world is very vast, with many different environments, each with a strong personality. As (almost) always, the artifex Mundi games are beautiful, beautiful, pretty, worked, detailed. The music is neutral enough not to be disturbing or obstinating. I found the translation very average (some errors of syntaxes, and translation in SOC, which makes you seek "in the void"...), but "passable" compared to other Opus. There are a lot of classic successes, which have not posed me any worries (finished the game at 100% at one time). Small flat for heroin, which I find a little jug, but hey!

For this third installment of the Queen's quest series, is it rather the mediocrity of the first episode or the pleasant surprise of the second? Rather the quality of the 2 but... Screenplay Eliana is a 16-year-old teenager who studies in an Alchemy Academy. On the day of his final examination, the school is attacked by demons and it is this young alchemist who is appointed to find a way to defeat the forces of evil and save the world. In a bonus chapter, we're going to give a helping hand in the world of fairies. Positives as in the 2, one embodies an alchemist in a story not stingy in twists based on dwarves, elves, fairies, curses, prophecies, magical potions, powerful crystals and safes. The scenario is not a crazy originality and a real coherence but the adventure will appeal to fans of this kind of universe. The gameplay is particularly rich and varied for this kind of game. Even if it revolves around the search for objects, the identification of similar symbols, the formation of pairs or the opening of locks, mini-games and SOC adopt very varied forms in order to renew the pleasure of the game. The lifespan is rather high than the average for this kind of game since it takes about 5h to finish everything (counting the bonus chapter). Negative points several translation errors, especially in SOC. Very easy even without resorting to any of the many possibilities of help (instructions that remove the reflection aspect of the mini-games, clues that ruin the exploration dimension, SOC that can be dodged). Final evaluation brave giant offers here a title that tries to vary the shape of different games even if the gameplay is often similar. Too easy for the accustomed to puzzles, it is suitable for all players who fear to remain blocked by a puzzle too difficult thanks to the many features of help. A good hidden object game that will appeal to all lovers of the genre.
