Elansar

I liked this game, because I knew what I was expecting. It said a "small myst like "point and click" adventure game. I wasn't disappointed. It is indeed a short game, good for playing on a lunch break, and it is indeed myst like, though with the addition of an inventory and some comments from the protagonist when you try to do things. All in all, don't expect a massive, endlessly polished AAA title, because that's not what this game is. If however you expect a small myst like poit and click adventure, you won't be disappointed. I would recommend this game only for adventure game lovers though. The lack of action, explosions and monsters may be disappointing otherwise.

Wholly crap. How bad could this game ACTUALLY get? Coming off of Journey Down I was prepared for a game to be a bit less than that, but wow. This game is just unplayable! Can't get a menu, can't get out, changed my resolution. I had shut my whole computer off just to get out of this craphole. The 80's called, they don't want their games back. Myst is OVER. Move on.

Um dos piores point and click que já joguei na minha vida! Não é o problema de apenas ser curto é o problema de ser rídiculo demais. Parece que estou jogando jogo de 1997, sem a sensação nostálgica de um jogo antigo, os puzzles são muito mal feitos, a movimentação é horrorosa, as imagens péssimas, e a história até tentou fazer sentido, mas realmente não deu! Até me esforcei pra tentar gostar, mas realmente não deu! Não vale o preço e nem em promoção! Realmente não recomendo!

There is nothing wrong with a game for being short, but there is a problem when the majority of that time is spent doing little other than pixel hunting. Let me be clear here, this is not a 'Myst-like game' or even much of a puzzle game, there is one real puzzle near the end and the rest of the time is spent picking up and using various items (about half of the 'solutions' involve using either the hammer or the nail on something, with many of the other items being used all at once or alongside the hammer and nails). This is also, however, not much of an exploration game either. You do not explore the island so much as you walk back and forth across the shoreline on a single side of the island with little in the way of variety beyond two small caves. Despite largely being a straight line, many of the screens look nearly identical and it is easy to get turned around when searching for concealed hotspots. In terms of plot, you get a small plot dump at the start, a single journal, and a larger plot dump at the very end and that's it. The game ends so abruptly that it feels as though I missed something or that there is meant to be an alternate ending. Unfortunately, if I did miss anything it seems like the only way to go back and check would be to outright reinstall the game as either through a bug or an odd design choice starting the game up puts me back into the ending scene. I realize this review sounds harsh, and I wish I could say something positive beyond 'there is one ok puzzle near the very end', but there is so little to this game and what little is here is so unsatisfying, especially for a commercial release, that I honestly cannot think of any possible reason to even consider recommending it.

Ein kleines Spiel für zwischendurch. Erinnert stark an "Myst" oder "Lighthouse". Leider bereits nach einer Stunde zuende, aber für einen Euro OK.

If you enjoy puzzle games that remind you of Myst, ignore the negative reviews here and give this game a shot. Elansar is pretty good game. The puzzles and plot both make sense and tie together well. The game had an engaging story, and it's definitely worth at least the $1 it's being sold for. It's true that it's short and has little replay value, but there are no bugs and it does come across as a finished product. I felt a sense of accomplishment when I beat it. One minor issue is that once you beat the game you can't play anymore unless you manually delete your save data or reinstall the game, but if you solved this game's puzzles then this is no problem. Bottom line: If being stuck on a mysterious island appeals to you, give this a shot to cut your teeth on before moving up to some of the longer, more difficult games.

Es una aventura gráfica sencilla, sin pretensiones, ni muy esforzada. Tiene su encanto retro, y su inspiración de Myst, sin la calidad de esta. La aventura, que originalmente salió para Atari (Ocupa 60 mb), a sido readactada a movil y PC recientemente. La aventura que se puede completar en (30 - 40 min) se supera facilmente, esceptuando algún objeto que este mas escondido que el resto. Los giros de camara son demasiado toscos y rudos, la estetica como e dicho es muy retro y muy de epoca de oro de la aventura gráfica, algo mas simple, el guion podria ser mejorable, y el desenlace ya ni te cuento. En definitiva no es buen juego, pero lo recomiendo para los grandes amantes de la aventura gráfica que tengan curiosidad, eso si, comprarla en Bundles o baratilla en rebajas. Tiene una secuela, que dicen que esta algo mejor, lo malo que esa no tiene tradución al Castellano (Esta si).
