Dawn of Hope: Skyline Adventure CE – Review

Skyline Adventure uses gorgeous artwork to set the scene. Brilliantly depicting remnants of both the elven world and the human world that have been left behind. With ruins of a city and it’s skyscrapers overrun with trees and foliage. And interspersed with Elven artifacts.

There are plenty of puzzles and mini-games. With a good variety of challenge and type for both. There also some (but not many) interactive HOP scenes, which for the most part are relatively simple. The game play overall is not too challenging.

However, where this game really excels is in the smooth and intuitive mechanics of the game play. As you journey through this unusual world. The game play makes the most of this intriguing elven and human combination. And gives this game a unique and refreshing feel.
