Donna Brave: Paris Strangler by LynxMinx – Donna Brave: Paris Strangler Review

Although this wasn’t the most innovative game from Mad Head, it was the first in a new series and I found it enjoyable and entertaining to play. The storyline held my interest. You could customize settings. The graphics were not the sharpest, but they were pleasing Art Deco era and I love games set during the 1920’s. There was a journal with clues and tasks. Inventory was labeled and interactive and there were complex items to assemble. We were provided with an in-game teleport map to transport us instantaneously between locations. Collectibles at each location was a swirl symbol. Morphing objects were confined to the HO scenes. Those scenes had variation but none were as unusual as we have seen in other games by this developer. There was a mix of puzzles/games. Some were rotational, others were codes, and still others were games of dexterity. Many were simplistic but I still enjoyed most of them. The gimmick in this game was an amulet, but I won’t go into details. At least with Mad Head you don’t have to drag and drop inventory; you click on the tool you want to use and the area where you want to use it and it works well! The game ran very smoothly. However it was a very short game even inclusive of the bonus adventure. I deducted a star for length and for inferior graphics. This was still a good solid game, especially at the sale price and I will be looking forward to the next one in this series!
