#Azada walk through series#

And the little companion animal, while cute, doesn't seem to do much other than look cute.ĭespite the minor flaws Azada: Elementa is still an entertaining addition to both the Azada series and the adventure hybrid ouevre. The clickable area at the bottom of the screen to move backward is perilously close to the inventory and you can often find yourself hitting one when you meant to hit the other. The map will constantly ask you if you really want to move to a new location, which gets old pretty quick (yes, I really want to go there!). There are some translation problems here and there with the dialogue and a couple of the list items in the hidden object scenes. There are a few flaws, however, which can detract from your enjoyment of the game. There are three modes of play to match a wide variety of adventuring skills, and a host of amusing little extras like your companion animal whom you can name and customize with not only body parts but purchaseable clothing. For those fans of the earlier games there is still a lot of puzzle fun to be had. Where the game really shines are the puzzles and mini-games, which once again straddle a vast array of gameplay up to and including a marble-popping match-3 and a fun rip-off of minesweeper. The hidden object scenes are interactive and pretty fun.

Luscious graphics, soothing music, nice incidental sounds. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but fans of the original games may be disappointed with the change.ĮRS makes pretty good games, and the quality is on display everywhere in Azada: Elementa. Panoptes' dual personality is yet another riddle to solve while attempting to rescue the enchanted land of Azada (again).Īnalysis: Azada: Elementa is probably going to be the most controversial of the series for two reasons: First, BigFishGames (the original creator) has farmed out the design to ERS, and they have taken a pure puzzle game and turned it into an adventure/hidden object hybrid. Scattered throughout the scenery are also bits of paper which tell a story to explain why Panoptes, while doing everything he can to hinder your quest, occasionally pops up to lend a hand. Hints as to what to do come in a variety of styles, from glints of light to a refilling hint timer to Titus sticking his nose in from time to time. Items that are found laying around (or won from hidden object scenes) fall into a bottom-loading inventory that can drop down to stay out of the way when not needed. Navigate your way between the worlds with the help of your handy notebook, a hint feature, a lovely navigable map, and the changing cursor to guide you along the way. While Azada was a series of puzzles strung together with a bare-bones story, Azada: Ancient Magic was a series of mini adventures, and Azada: En Libro was a fully realized point-and-click adventure, Azada: Elementa goes the hybrid route, combining the adventuring and puzzle solving with classic hidden object scenes. Because, you know, nephew Titus has proven time and time again that he is useless when it comes to stuff like this.Įach game in the Azada series is different than the one before, and Azada: Elementa is no exception. At any rate, Panoptes is exploiting the resources of Azada both there and in the real world and it is up to you to journey to the magical lands of Azada and rescue the elemental mages and set things right. Wait, seriously, again? You know, maybe Azada should look into getting some better guardians than Titus or those mages who keep letting the evil Uncle take over, necessitating yet another rescue from yet another chosen one. So the evil Uncle, Panoptes, has taken over the land of Azada, defeating the elemental mages who keep nature balanced. Wait just a minute! Handsome guy? Magic Book? Fabled Land? Evil Uncle? Yep, that can only mean one thing, that the latest Azada adventure has finally arrived! Created by ERS games, Azada: Elementa is the newest entry in the chronicles of Azada. Dreams can be pretty weird, especially if they are of a handsome guy telling you that a magic book told him you were the one chosen to save a magic land from his evil uncle.
