Cursed Valley is split into 13 chapters, each sending you to two or more locations to search for the items you need for a spell. One incantation, called Reveal, shows you the location of a single random object on the screen; another, dubbed Repel, removes all of the visual distractions from the current location, including spot animations, twinkling lights and books that take to the air.
One challenge has you linking contiguous matching objects on a grid to fill a potion bottle, while another challenges you to find the letters that form the phrase for casting a spell. For the latter, groups of letters sporting different fonts, sizes and colors are displayed.
I liked it the first time through, but upon its second appearance, I wished I had a spell to complete it automatically. Casual gamers can either breeze through Cursed Valley , looking for concealed objects and slam-dunking the mini-games, or approach the adventure meticulously, finding objects quickly and locating all of the items in each chapter instead of the minimum number needed to create a spell.
Doing so allows you to level up. Earn enough upgrades, and new wands and additional difficulty levels are unlocked when you beat the game.
The best thing about Cursed Valley is its hand-painted backgrounds. Although there are more photorealistic hidden object games available, the hand-painted approach of BC Soft has an old school charm and allows for a more intimate experience. This time you have to collect 27 items and visit three locations. You learn that a great wizard use to live in Cursed Valley and people used to come from near and far just for the chance to be his apprentice.
In this chapter, you will learn how to cast the illusion spell by finding 34 items at 4 locations! Instead, he cast a curse over the valley.
In return, the wise wizard reversed the curse and the curse took effect on the dark wizard's castle. In this chapter, you need to find 35 items in 4 locations with a new location and my personal favorite The Dungeon Creatures of Magic Museum Town Center Wizard's Lab Chapter 8: A Ruckus On to Chapter 8, where we find out that the curse on the dark wizard's castle didn't go over so well, so he began to try to make the people who lived in the valley hate the wise wizard He cast spells and made the books fly and the trees come to life!
In response, the wise wizard made those very same objects respond to command, Mary Poppins style, so if you wanted a book to go away, you just had to tell it to scram I wish I could tell my homework to take a hike every now and then but it keeps coming back!
In this chapter, you need to find 36 objects in 4 locations. And this time, the spell we're going to learn at the end of this chapter is another Reveal Spell And I don't know about you, but I need it! You need to find 44 objects this time in 5 locations!
This time, he decides to poison the people of the valley when they touched their gold or valuables. The wise wizard quickly responded like a good EMS team, and created magic gloves for people to use to protect them from their money.
They built a large valut to store it all and that's where you get to go next! You have to find 45 objects in this chapter at 5 locations. This time, feeling desperate, he decided to make a deal with a red dragon.
He offered him his own castle and the riches of the vault in exchange for the dragon driving the people of the valley away. The deal was struck and the dragon drove all the people of the valley away until the only people to remain were the two wizards.
In this chapte you need to learn the spell that the wise wizard used to protect the fleeing townspeople. Find 46 objects in five locations. He hasn't got a clue! He learned of the dark rune stones that would help him defeat the wizard. However, there was a price to pay for using them. A great danger awaited him if he were to use the stones.
Not only could he lose his ability to control magic, but he could be consumed by the vast power of the stones themselves if he didn't use them right. Of course, this didn't even make him bat and eyelash, and he went in search of the stones. In the meantime, the wise wizard went to talk to the red dragon in order to strike a different kind of deal with him. Find 55 objects in seven locations in order to learn the spell the wise wizard used to speak to the red dragon.
But he was ambushed by the red dragon who was not happy about receiving a cursed castle in their deal. They fought for 10 days, the dark wizard pulling on the magic of the rune stones, until the dark wizard finally destroyed the dragon. But by that time, it was too late Just like that, he fades from the story, a burned out wizard, leaving the dark runes behind to curse the valley! Here is your hardest challenge yet! Just when you think you know where everything, is the the computer seams to change direction.
It a hard chalenge to leave alone. Thank you. Rated 4 out of 5 by AverageSizeFish from Oldie but Goodie The graphics are mildly grainy but not significantly enough to make game play difficult. The soundtrack fits the theme of the game. After you find the requisite number of objects you play a short game or do an unusual type of word search to "cast" a spell the book taught you.
The game consists of matching strings of objects in a row and the word search consists of finding fragments of the words that make up your spell as they hover in a moving field of other word fragments. You can play in timed or untimed mode. The HOS are very challenging and there are one or two objects that felt a little unfair because they were either very, very small or almost completely obscured.
All the HOS are basic list finds with no interaction and you return to any given scene multiple times. I enjoyed the HOS even with the items that were so difficult to find. The round that ends the game is probably among the most difficult HOS that I've seen in a game of this type. The graphics are not completely up to modern standards but they're good enough for the game to be enjoyable.
The magician's book was cute and funny. If you like HOS this one is worth trying out to see if you like it. Date published: Rated 2 out of 5 by gamefan10 from A confusing, difficult game I had a difficult time understanding this game.
The directions were unclear for each step. It's mostly HO scenes, with a few mini-games, but you are supposed to learn spells and then use them to help you locate things. There is a very skimpy hint system that takes quite a while to build up again.
The main reason I was so frustrated was that some of the hidden objects were so hard to find. You are penalized if you click too much to look for objects, but often there is no other way to find them. I tried using spells, but they last for such a short time and then you are back to looking for objects. I would not recommend this game. The Big Fish Guarantee: Quality tested and virus free.
