Azada® : In Libro Collector's Edition

[h1]Short version: 67%[/h1] Azada 3 sacrificed a unique and memorable atmosphere for a generic casual adventure game with an actual plot. While it is almost as big of a step backwards as forwards, on its own, it is fun, despite its tendencies towards pixel hunting. [h1]Long version:[/h1] The first two Azadas obviously favoured quantity over quality with their plethora of basic puzzles (and the occasional mystery room). Nevertheless, they had an incredible atmosphere that captivated all players almost immediately. [i]In Libro[/i], on the other hand, is a standard casual puzzle adventure: we have four separate worlds to explore, where we look for a plethora of key items to unlock more key items or the occasional puzzle (but no hidden object scenes). Since this is a relatively old game, it lacks some convenient features like a map system, and some objects are a tad difficult to find without the hint button. On the plus side, the puzzles can be fun, for the genre. The story is essentially a reboot, only reusing some names from previous games: Azada is now a magical world divided into separate realms, and we must travel to each one to retrieve a McGuffin against a generic evil. There is nothing substantial in the entire plot, but it is good enough for this genre.

아자다의 3번쨰 넘버링 작품으로, 전작의 틀을 갈아엎고 오픈 월드(?) 미스테리 퍼즐 게임으로 탈바꿈했다. 퍼즐 수준은 전작과 비교해보면 매우 크게 올랐기 때문에 1~2편을 해본 사람이라면 꽤 어려워 할 수도 있다. 전작들에서는 대충 설명을 안 봐도 이 퍼즐을 어떻게 풀어야 하는지 알 수 있는데, 이번 작에서는 앞서 언급했듯이 퍼즐 수준이 훅 크게 올랐기 때문에 설명을 읽어봐야 한다. 한글화는 안되어 있기 때문에 영어가 되는 사람이 유리. 스토리는 전작들보다는 비중을 둔 거는 같은데 필자는 글쎄다,,, 특히 한 비중 큰 인물의 발연기와 얼굴 움직임이 영 좋지가 않다,,, 해보면 알게 된다,,

This game holds a special place in my heart. (:

It is itself a pretty cool game, but sadly a complete different Azada then before. The puzzles are mostly pretty good, there are a few that are way harder then the rest which makes it a bit annoying. Still I wish they would be more true to their root. The password of the second part didnt play a role in this game, sadly. Still a pretty nice game. I can recommend it.

Played the original and liked it? A must have if you want the extra gameplay and content.

Played this as a child. CRIMINALLY UNKNOWN. SUCH A GOOD STORY

This game is a very nice puzzle game and it is pretty complex. I had a lot of fun with it

Das ist kein HOG! Für alle, die sich´s fragten. Es ist zwar im Stile eines modernen HOGs gestaltet, beinhaltet aber keinerlei Wimmelbildszenen. Wie die Vorgänger legt es mehr wert auf das Lösen von Puzzles und deshalb würde ich das Spiel eher als Puzzle Adventure beschreiben. Grafisch ist es ein echter Augenschmaus, die Puzzle sind schön und gut gestaltet. Allerdings ist mir eine Menge Backtracking aufgefallen und ein Sudoku-Rätsel der Stufe schwer. Abgesehen von diesem einen sind die Rätsel aber nicht zu schwer. Außerdem ist ein Strategy-Guide mit drin, in dem es auch eine Lösung zum Sudoku gibt :D Im Gegensatz zu den Vorgängern "Azada" und "Azada: Ancient Magic" befinden wir uns diesmal nicht in einem einzigen Raum, wo wir Rätsel um Rätsel lösen, sondern wandern durch verschiedene eindrucksvolle Welten. Ich würde es auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen. Hatte einen Riesenspaß dabei, es zu spielen.

El juego es algo corto a lo que recordaba, el final te deja siempre con expectativa de que había más historia por lo que te muestra el contenido. Si eres fan de la saga, recomendado pero siempre quedas con ganas de que pudo ser más.
