Azada: Ancient Magic

Really enjoyable game. I had to really cudgel the old brain cells on some of the puzzles but it was awesome to figure them out on my own. Felt like a great brain work out. Highly recommended.

[h1]Short version: 74%[/h1] Azada 2 loses a good chunk of replay value, but its decision to focus on the best part of its predecessor was a genius idea. It definitely aged—however, its pixel hunt point-and-click play style manages to hold up even today, if you like puzzle games with some plot to them. [h1]Long version:[/h1] Azada 2: Ancient Magic offers a large collection of storybook puzzles—loosely based on famous stories—where we have to flip back and forth between pages (scenes) to search for an item or a hot spot, and the occasional minigame. Although many players would justly feel that this is nothing but taking the meticulous pixel hunt aspects of classic point and click adventures and stretching them into an entire game, Azada 2 manages to turn this into its biggest advantage. Despite some repeating and recurring elements, the static images, and the lack of voice acting, each book feels distinct and unique, including their internal logic, progression, and even the minigames. Although the solutions are always the same, completing all stories takes a good chunk of time, exchanging the high replay value of the first Azada for variety and puzzle design. While this also means that Ancient Magic lacks its predecessor’s longevity, it is still probably the the most fun game to play in this series.

아자다 시리즈의 두 번째 작품. 모든 후속작들도 마찬가지지만 전체적인 스토리가 전작과 이어지기 때문에 만약 하게 된다면 1편부터 하는 것을 추천한다. 2편에서는 1편의 노가다 퍼즐게임의 형식을 벗어나, 라푼젤, 셜록홈즈, 지킬앤하이드,아서 왕 등등 우리에게 익숙한 캐릭터들이 등장하여 몰입이 전작보다 잘 되는 편이다. 퍼즐의 수준도 전작에 비해 전체적으로 꽤 높아졌지만, 전작에 이어지는 스토리는 1편과 마찬가지로 그렇게 깊지는 않다. 가볍게 머리를 쓰고 싶으면 추천.

I remember playing this game when I was a child. The puzzles were hard and I got frustrated quick, but I loved the story and all the characters. Now, the puzzles are fairly easy and the game still has a lot of the same charm I remember it having. I still love this game as much as I did when I first played it.

A little different than the HOG that i usually play. Select a book, and solve the puzzles, then another book until all the books have been solved.

A really cool sequel to the first game. The puzzles are mostly less tricky but still very cool. The mechanics and the style are really nice and the game was overall really fun to play. Its cool that the games connect to each othe by adding a little bonus where you need the information of the first game. I can highly recommend it.

I used to play Azada a lot when I was a child, great game, great memories

best game with enigmes

Very well made.

Great game, some geniuses decided to focus on the best part from the first game and make it into a full game. Less focus on boring puzzles. I wish the game was longer and a bit more difficult. Don't bother with the first game, play this one instead.
