Dreampath: Curse of the Swamps – Review

The magical Dreampath series is back with a new installment! A mysterious rain infected everyone in the kingdom with the Swamp Fever, turning them into hideous frogs. Go on a journey with Princess Daniela to find the cure in the swamps and save everyone.

Dreampath: Curse of the Swamps is a full-on fantasy adventure, completed with kings, queens, weird creatures and most importantly, magic. This kind of fairy-tale HOPA has definitely been done many times before, and a story similar to this is plenty in the industry. Although Curse of the Swamps fails to distinguish itself from its fantasy peers, the game itself is actually very solid.

Boolat Games is one of our favorite developers, and it will be great if they can put out games more frequently. Each one of their games showcases the developer’s professionalism and their attention for details. Dreampath: Curse of the Swamps is an expertly-built game. The gameplay is tight, with fun puzzles at every turn of the road and tons of tasks to keep you busy at all times. Besides, the hidden object scenes are absolutely entertaining; smartly-layered and innovative.

What is not so great about Dreampath: Curse of the Swamps is how far it strays from logic. While we usually forgive some illogical nonsenses in fantasy adventures, the lack of any sound explanations for many of the events happening in this game is quite absurd.

Nonetheless, the production kicks in and saves the day. Dreampath 2 has gorgeous visuals and first-rated cinematic, made up by vibrant colors and beautiful artwork. The audio does not disappoint either; the background music is appropriately upbeat and the voice-overs are clear and suitable for each character.

Dreampath: Curse of the Swamps Collector’s Edition comes with an impressive list of bonus items. This includes a satisfying bonus chapter, wallpapers, concept art, soundtracks, cutscenes, replayable hidden objects, replayable puzzles, achievements, collectibles and a strategy guide.
