Darkness and Flame 2 – Review

Alice continues her adventures in the Fertile Lands! This sequel begins where the first chapter left off (see below for a link to my review of part 1). With young Alice on a new quest, accompanied by her fire-bird protector. But also with the ever-present threat of the Dark Knight, in close pursuit.

The game play involves a variety of reasonably challenging puzzles and mini games. Interspersed with interactive hidden object games, with text or silhouette lists. Plus an ongoing jigsaw puzzle game. Requiring you to find the right item and solve each section, before the next part is unlocked.

There is plenty of CE extra game play. With well-hidden morphing objects that are a challenge to find. As well as 6 sets of collectibles to seek out. You can use the map to show where the MO or collectibles, are yet to be found in each location.

Overall the game play, is very good. Though it is very similar to part 1.

The scenery and sound FX are also very good. Especially the depictions of this new landscape, combining a sort of post-apocalyptic world with fantasy. And these work well to enhance the tone of this adventure.

Overall

What didn’t work so well were some of the voice-acting, which was somewhat stilted in places. Similarly, some of the character animations seemed a little awkward.

That said, if you enjoyed the first chapter you’ll most likely be interested in what happens next for Alice.

And if you haven’t played part one, part 2 begins with a quick recap of the story so far.

For the excellent visuals, variety of game play and interesting story I recommend checking out the free demo of this new Five-BN adventure. As it is an interesting, fun and challenging game. Just don’t expect anything unique in terms of game play, if you’ve already played part 1.

Play Darkness and Flame 2: Missing Memories, available on Amazon for: Fire Tablet (US) or Fire Tablet (UK).
