Witches’ Legacy: Slumbering Darkness – Review

As the franchise comes to its fifth installment, we are getting a little tired of all the same-old adventure. Regardless, we found the storyline to be fairly enjoyable and pleasant to follow. Even if you have not played any of the previous games before, all the necessary turning points are wrapped nicely in the development of the storyline so you would not feel missed out.

The strongest aspect of Witches’ Legacy: Slumbering Darkness is no doubt its visual presentation. The locations are brightly colored and stunningly created – with the perfect shades and lighting, Slumbering Darkness is a feast for the eye. The developer also did a great job audio-wise, the soundtracks play fittingly in the background and the voice overs are not annoying by any means.

Like most of the game from Elefun, there is not real creativity presented in the gameplay. The game featured the usual interactive map and a useful hint button, although we rarely used them since the adventure part was pretty straightforward. The puzzles are not too unique; nonetheless, they integrate well with the theme and the story. The hidden object scenes are fun to play, with the option to switch to Matching mode.

In addition, your familiar Imp helper is back again to help you with difficult tasks. The Imp is undeniably cute and its movements and animations are simply adorable; however, some might find it to be slightly annoying since it usually takes some time to complete just one basic task. Later on in the game, you will also have another helper – Edward’s Master. He can basically fix everything with the right tools, a smart little addition to the rather standard gameplay.

The Collector’s Edition of the game featured some gallery items, replayable puzzles, achievements, collectibles and a solid 60-minute bonus chapter.
