Demon Hunter 4: Riddles of Light

In [i]Demon Hunter 4: Riddles of Light[/i] you travel back to Ancient Egypt to rescue your aunt who has been abducted by Seth, the most dangerous of all the Gods. [h3]The Story[/h3] As a promising young demon hunter, you (Lily) follow your Aunt Dawn to Egypt to uncover a mystery when an ancient artifact shows up at your door (the Gauntlet of Horus) along with a cryptic message. While in Egypt your Aunt gets abducted and it is up to you to follow through a portal to Ancient Egypt to get her back and stop the evil Seth who took her. [h3]Game-play & Features[/h3] Puzzles are your usual find in a hidden object game but given the Egyptian theme they involve scarabs and hieroglyphs. The puzzles are usually easy and lean towards hidden object scenes, and environmental interactions. The graphics are dated but this game is from 2018 and given its age it holds up nicely in most parts. In the menu for the Collector’s Edition you have your usual finds, a “More” tab that features settings, achievements, and credits. Extras you can unlock through playing the game include wallpapers, concept art, music, cutscenes, mini games and hidden object puzzles to replay. And as always a bonus chapter unlocks for you to play once the main story is completed. Difficulty settings are your usual; Casual, Advanced, Expert or Custom. I found the collectables easy to find and the achievements not difficult to achieve. [h3]Overall Experience[/h3] I adore the hogs published by [i]Artifex Mundi[/i] more than any other for this genre, even if the games are dated and older. They always put the extras into their games that a lot of today's hogs are missing. Like a map you can fast travel from area to area, a glowing indicator in game that shows collectables are available to be found in each scene and the fact there are collectables to find to begin with. They also have achievements and trading cards if you're one of those who enjoy those elements (like myself). It is just a shame that [i]Artifex[/i] no longer puts their current games on Steam. That being said, this game in the series is probably the weakest in terms of actual story and the puzzles were too easy. If you're a veteran of these games you might find it bland and just lackluster overall. I personally did not have any issues with crashing or misclicks as some other reviewers have mentioned. And for myself I had no glitches in-game or broken mini games. My experience overall was pretty smooth and uneventful. I did play as well in windowed mode and not full screen as on wide screen the older games don’t hold up as well and look stretched or blurry at full size. I also use Windows 10. [i]I do recommend this game but on a steep sale[/i]. For a hidden object game it is not bad overall, just not as good as the previous games in the series. Thankfully [i]Artifex Mundi[/i] games go on sale quite often and I would grab it at that point for some mindless fun or for the younger hog fans. ✨ [i]Thank you to my wonderful friend for such a thoughtful gift, getting to this one a bit late trudging through my backlog.[/i] [quote]Please follow our curator page, [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/4680120/]Otome Lovers[/url], if you'd like to see more reviews like this one!

[h1] Genre [/h1] Ein Hidden Object Adventure [h1] Story [/h1] Im Vierten Teil der Reihe spielen wir Lila, die Nichte von Dawn aus den vorherigen Teilen. Unsere Tante wurde in Ägypten von einem Bösen Dämon angegriffen und nur wir können sie noch retten [h1] Gameplay [/h1] Das Gameplay ist den Drei Vorgängern identisch geblieben. Wir sammeln wieder mal aller Hand Gegenstände & lösen verschiedene Wimmelbildszenen & Minispiele/Rätsel. Die Wimmelbildszenen sind wieder sehr gut gelungen und machen Spaß. Die Minispiele/Rätsel sind auch hier wieder meist total simpel (bis auf das 3 Farben Kugel Spiel, wo man alle Kugeln in die Richtige Reihenfolge bringen muss in einer Kette, ich verabscheue die Dinger). Grafik & Musik sind völlig in Ordnung & das Voice Acting ist mal wieder Genre Typisch eher schwach. Die Deutsche Text Übersetzung ist ordentlich [h1] Achievement Schwierigkeit 4/10 [/h1] Es gibt insgesamt 22 Erfolge. Hierfür muss man das Spiel beenden und dabei keines der Minispiele/Rätsel überspringen und keine Tipps bei den Wimmelbildszenen verwenden. Zudem die üblichen Erfolge wie ein Wimmelbild in unter 1 Minute lösen, 3 Gegenstände in 3 Sekunden finden usw. Es ist das was man schon von anderen Vertretern des Genres her kennt, also nichts wirklich schwieriges. Das einzige was frustrierend werden kann, ist eben das besagte 3 Farben Kugel Minispiel/Rätsel [h1] Pro/Contra [/h1] + Story OK + Musik OK + Grafik OK + Nette Wimmelbildszenen + Nette Minispiele/Rätsel + Die Deutsche Text Übersetzung ist ordentlich + Bonus Kapitel bzw. Prolog + Achievements + Sammelkarten [h1] Fazit [/h1] Auch der Vierte Teil der Demon Hunter Reihe ist wieder sehr ordentlich gelungen. Das Ägyptische Setting finde ich sehr gut, das mag ich immer sehr gerne. Die Wimmelbildszenen haben mir wieder sehr gut gefallen und die Minispiele waren ebenfalls völlig OK mit einer Ausnahme. Wer Wimmelbild Adventures mag wird auch dieses hier definitiv mögen 👑 Powered by HoI 4 Deu Curators group in German / English 👑⠀⠀⠀[list][*][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/30388691/] Follow Main group [/url][*] [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40282064/] Follow Second group [/url][*] [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44688798/] Follow third group [/url][/list]

[h1] Довольно короткий поиск предметов на тематику египетских богов - выбивание всех достижений заняло около 3-х часов [/h1] И этого оказалось маловато даже для выбивания карточек. За время прохождения основной истории не выпало ни одной. А для получения достижений даже не потребовалось проходить дополнительную главу, достаточно лишь в основной истории найти все коллекционные предметы. Головоломки очень простые, а сама история лишь иногда бывала напряжённой. Поиски также особых затруднений не вызвали и поэтому рекомендуется лишь по скидке. Из стимовских фишек тут также стандартный набор для серии. Хоть разочаровало то, что здесь есть некоторые косяки с переводом при определении мужского и женского родов. А в остальном ещё одна идеальная игра на вечер без напрягов. Для любителей подобного жанра самое то.

I am surprised to find that the game breaking bug under the bridge location, dealing with the throwing stick, still exists. The player only has a 50/50 chance of getting through the location, if you get stuck there you have to start the game all over, like I had to. Take the throwing stick as soon as you see it, otherwise you will never have another chance to do so and have to start the game over. This game should be removed from Steam until that bug is fixed.

It's sad to give this a bad review. I tried so hard to love it, but I can't, in good faith, recommend it. Let me start by saying the positive aspects. This game has beautiful art. Some characters, locations, and drawings are gorgeous, like the Egyptian gods, the Lich King, and the tales. Also, Egyptian inspiration is naturally engaging, and they added a cool minigame that you have to Lara Croft out of danger. Very cool! Now, two things make the game blatantly awful. That is the voiceovers and the LITERAL hidden objects. Feel free to correct me, but the voiceovers sound strongly Indian, and the volume and quality change, sometimes between dialogues, making it appear not treated. The other point is that A LOT of the hidden objects minigames contain objects hidden behind rocks, walls, objects, or anything you can think of. It takes the fun out of the genre. The fun resides in the camouflage. It takes much more creativity, effort, and brains to hide something in plain sight than behind other objects. The story is pretty absurd, making it impossible to care, and most of the cast is annoying, popping out of nowhere only to participate in the story. The other new things from the last game are the terrible attempts to jump-scare you and the aim minigame. Did you lose the timing because you were stuck on animation, or the click wasn't responsive enough? Get wrecked! Now wait an eternity of seconds while the aim dances around the screen, teasing you the whole time. Luckily, the next game has good reviews, so I expect good things to come.

First off, this one just makes no sense in the series. The series is about one demon hunter, and suddenly it's a different character and we're time travelling to ancient Egypt? Huh? Second, it's very linear. Part of the fun of these games is visiting a lot of locations multiple times to get to puzzles you couldn't do before. This one you're exploring 2-3 rooms at the time on average and it gets stale quickly. Then the gauntlet fighting mechanic... it's so annoying.

's alright, but... There are issues. For one: I forgot I was playing a DEMON HUNTER game. Guess they ran out of powerful beings after that last guy died twice (Got defeated twice. Same difference). And excuse me... What... In the hell... Happened to the ORDER?! I wouldn't even have known that the MC [spoiler](this is a huge guess though because it ain't explained!) has Demon Hunter blood in her. But does she? She can wield the gauntlet... Which is already infused with Demon Hunting powers. Or is it?![/spoiler] [spoiler]So does this mean that she either is/isn't and the Professor who said (Speculation based on a Bonus Game.) that he was going to reach out to a Demon Hunter... Does that mean he SENT the powerful being after the MC's family member...? Just so that she could come over and save them? That would make the Professor a freaking Mastermind![/spoiler] Second: When in battle... ESPECIALLY the BOSS Battle! The click detection is atrocious! It took me 5 clicks for it to register. And you have only under 2 seconds + three hits are needed. Blow me. The Sphinx's riddles were easier than those clicks!!! Well on the other hand... I like Egypt/Egyptian stuff... The Myth/Supernatural kind. I saw Anubis in all his glory and that in itself made my day. ^.^ Otherwise it's okay. Just okay. Thank you! :> (For Anubis: <3 :) )

This review leans more neutral, but I wasn't having a good time playing this game. As a fourth in a series, it doesn't work and would have been better as a standalone or a prequel / related. The hidden object games are fun, but the minigames often bypass interesting and just go for convoluted and tedious. All of that doesn't mention how it's doing a lackluster job at representing Egyptian mythology. It's overall unimpressive and unentertaining when compared to the previous games in this series, and, given that its title places it as a part of said series, I can't help but compare them. It does have a mechanic to let you know if you've found the collectibles in a room, so good job there.

I've played bad HOG, but never one that is as ourtright broken as this game. Several game breaking soft locks that makes it unplayable. First time this happend to me in a Artifex Mundi game. Most of the threads in the discussuion is about bugs and one of the soft locks happend to me too. Will not go back to this game.

You don't have to play any game in the Demon Hunter series because each one has a different story to follow. As usual from Artifax Mundi, a quality and relaxing HOG. Enjoy!
