Solid 3 Star Eipix Viking Adventure
Izzyoc
Decent enough time waster (based upon the free trial) but the story didn’t pull me in enough to buy the game. The games in the demo were very easy (not sure if they get more challenging later on) and as with all of Eipix HOGs, you have give a bit of a delay after selecting an item, or your touch doesn’t register. You get the typical Eipix goodies with the custom mode of play, transportable map, collectible stone tablet fragments in each scene, and morphing objects. Play if you’re bored but it was a pass for me. Upcoming Games: (# stars is average review on BigFishGames.com for the PC or Mac version, date is the day the game was released via Big Fish - usually for PC or Mac) Mystery Tales: House of Others (3.9 stars, Domini Games, June ‘17) Hidden Expedition: Pearl of Discord (3.8 stars, Eipix, April ‘17) Subliminal Realms: Call of Atis (4.1 stars, Boolat, Feb. ‘17) - finally another game from Boolat! Nevertales: Forgotten Pages (3.9 stars, Mad Head, Jun. ‘17) Hit-Point Games: Adera (Crisp computer-generated graphics, ability to pan 360deg in some scenes, 4 chapters so far but only first chapter is free so give it a try when it releases. I’m intrigued by the first chapter, good voice-acting; it’s mostly a point-and-click adventure but there are some HOGs and collectibles) Artifex Mundi: January 25 Noir Chronicles: City of Crime (Steam/mobile) February Demon Hunter 4: Riddles of Light (Steam/mobile) March Chronicles of Magic: Divided Kingdoms (Steam/mobile)
Only played a few minutes of demo

It didn’t grab me at all. I didn’t even finish the demo. The graphics were nice, the voice acting, meh. I had to turn the music off right away. The map was not interactive. I didn’t like the first HOG as it was a “stained glass” find the lined objects, rather than more realistic ones,
Odin Dropped His Mighty Hammer On This "Saga" Of The Gods!

Behold the mighty Norsemen, who set sail upon thee seas, valiantly battling fire-breathing dragons, under thee honor of their almighty Gods! Eipix used to be one of my favorite developers; now, they simply regurgitate their rehashed story lines and formulaic mechanics into every game within every series. Even their HOSs have become trite, recycling the same types without any refreshing creativity. They kind of lost their "wow" factor. With this new series, I was hoping that they would have taken a much-needed diversion from the norm, towards an invigorating path filled with captivating innovation and elevated gameplay. Unfortunately, they mostly did not. I am disenchanted by the storyline, which is the foundation of a game, holding all the supporting components together. The plot moves along slowly and fails to build up moments of excitement. What they did do well is to successfully integrate Norse mythology and the Vikings theme into the environment; for example, the wood-constructed Viking ships, adorned with striped sails and serpent-like masts. Rune stones — raised stones with a runic inscription — are omnipresent throughout this game. The characters' appearances, including their attire, appropriately complement the theme of the storyline: horned helmets; cloak-clad women; steel-armor gear; long haired men with braided beards; and weapons of warfare, such as swords. The dwarves are an important part of Norse mythology due to their masterly skill in creating artifacts for the Norse Gods. Their roles here are reminiscent to their roles in Lord of the Rings in which they created weapons and jewelry for the elves. However, I find their personalities to be sapless and devoid of compelling emotion. Surprisingly, I thought that the graphics have improved; I don't notice the typical blotchiness that this developer is known for. You can customize your settings. The inventory is labeled and interactive; items require assembly. In custom mode, the teleport map indicates available actions; but it does NOT facilitate brisk travel to labeled locations. It has become quite frustrating to repeatedly tap on a desired location to find that magic spot in order for my touch input to be acknowledged. Transition between scenes is smooth and quick; no glitches to report. Gameplay is story-driven and implements a twist of allowing you to control your destiny. Even the map is incorporated into the gameplay. I am pleased that the Journal records information about the characters I encounter, as well as varying mythological beliefs, traditions, inventions, etc. The multi-layered HOSs — a trademark of this developer — are taken up a notch in both ingenuity and complexity. They are thematically and artistically rendered to enhance the storyline. The puzzles, multi-layered as well, are effectively fused into the actions in progress, as their solutions will solve a quandary. But, as creative as the puzzles are, I find most of them to be beginner leveled, thus depriving me of the challenge needed to quench my thirst. You discover well-blended collection sets within the locations and within the HOSs. I have to admit that I'm feeling a bit jaded because I thought that this game would be over the top. Something is amiss here. It seems that the mediocre storyline, the lack of connectedness to the characters, and the underwhelming puzzles diminish my overall satisfaction. And that map makes it painful to navigate between locations. Therefore, my true rating of 3.5 stars is lowered to a disappointing 3 stars. Lynx Minx: hotties in the house again! ?
Was not impressed

I usually love Epix games but this one failed to deliver. There was not much to the story but mini games. I was really disappointed.
Like reading a Russian Novel

I give this game 3 stars for the numerous HOPs and objects to find. Non-linear, difficult to follow the story, “Viking” titles detract from game play. I only purchased this game, because I don’t have any other new games to play. I really don’t like costume dramas!
Different, confusing
Opinion02122
Maybe it's just me, but I find this Viking tale VERY confusing. And, unfortunately, that makes it not much fun. I'll pass.
What an insult.

I couldn’t get past the first several scenes. Shameful this game shouldn’t fetch $.99 cents on a desperate bargain basement day. It should be free with warning! Who sold this game to BF? ..Big let down BF. Can’t wait to delete and hide this from playlist.
Another good game from Epix, I hope.
SevenRiders
I’ve just begun playing this and it seems very good. Norse mythology is a favorite of mine, so I hope this game is good. I also hope the next Dark Parables game is good because if it is not, Epix, you will hear from me.
Just not good!

This was such a strange game and not in a good way. Some of the mini games didn’t work at all. The game was all over the place and it felt as though I was playing a game that was old...of course we know better because the older games no longer work!! (wink-wink, I’m looking at you BFG)...The hidden object games were all over the place and I don’t mean placement, I mean that there really isn’t any reasoning involved. I’m really sad that I wasted time on this. At least I didn’t pay full price. I miss the great games we had come to expect from BFG! We can’t even go back and play a lot of those because they have not been updated. What happened to “Pay Once, Play forever” that we purchased all these games expecting it to be true. Sorry, back to the review. I enjoy books, movies and games with Greek gods, demi-gods and love Thor, this is NOT anything like that! Bad game for so many reasons. I would not recommend to anyone. Very dated!
