Pros: Gripping storyline. Interesting characters. Variety of engaging mini-games and puzzles.
Cons: Grammar and spelling mistakes. Some puzzles require dexterity.
You already know Natalie Brooks, a young brave girl, who managed to reclaim her granny’s house from the local authorities in the first installment of Natalie Brooks: The Secrets of Treasure House. Natalie returns to face a more difficult and dangerous task. Unknown people kidnap her grandfather, a well-known archaeologist, and demand the treasure map of Juan de Castellanos. Obviously, Grandpa is in danger and Natalie only has three days to find the map and rectify the situation.
Like its prequel, Natalie Brooks: The Treasures of the Lost Kingdom is a hidden object game. To be honest, the game doesn’t offer anything new and maintains traditions of the hidden object genre. At the same time, the game has a gripping plot involving realistic characters and places and mixes them with Natalie’s life and family. You investigate the mystery of Al Capone, one of the better-known criminals of all time, so you can free Natalie’s grandpa.
In general, The Treasures of the Lost Kingdom looks similar to the original Natalie Brooks. It uses the same style of storytelling and game play, which blends hidden objects with a quest and puzzles.
The game's mechanics needs little describing. Simply put, find hidden objects, use some to solve puzzles and play random mini-games while investigating the mystery. Easy, clear and satisfying like most of hidden object games.
While seek-and-find scenes may feel like a piece of cake, some of mini-games have you scratching your head or demand ultimate skill. This refers to a couple of mini-games, not all of them. For example, the magnet mini-game involves the task of moving the magnet to the key without touching the rotating blades. If you fail touch a blade, the magnet returns to its starting position. It's a tricky game to be sure as it could easily take 30 attempts before succeeding.
One of the best parts about Natalie Brooks: The Treasures of the Lost Kingdom is that it offers a great variety of mini-games and puzzles such as Simon mini-games, assembling parts of an object, fingerprint matching or globe and triangle rotating puzzles. This diversity enriches the game and challenges players.
You can use hints while searching for items except you must wait for hints to recharge after using one. If a mini-game is frustrating, boring or just difficult for you, you can skip it. But in general, the level of difficulty in Natalie Brooks: The Treasures of the Lost Kingdom is average and comes with engaging puzzles.
The previous Natalie Brooks game abounds with lots of grammar and spelling mistakes. The Treasures of the Lost Kingdom continues with the same problem; nevertheless, it doesn’t spoil the overall game.
The average artwork will have you thinking of the original Natalie Brooks with its cartoony graphics, which looked better. As for sound, the music resembles the first Natalie Brooks game. It doesn't irritate nor does it distract or annoy.
Overall, Natalie Brooks: The Treasures of the Lost Kingdom is a worthy game. Its catchy storyline, interesting characters and engaging puzzles provide lots of fun.
Natalie Brooks: The Treasures of the Lost Kingdom is a fabulous game! You can play it at a sitting. I don't think it's bad. It is because the plot is very absorbing. And, in general, it is not hard to pass through the game. Appreciated!
Comment: May be its graphics is odd because the first Natalie Brooks was like a cartoon. And now it looks different and I don't like it. Nevertheless, I give it 5 stars
One of my fav games was Natalie Brooks and I was very excited to see its sequel here. I am half through the game and I think its the best game I played, even better then Natalie Brooks 1.
A nice game with catching story. But find that the first Natalie Brooks was even better. And it was a little longuer. But in any case it is worth to try.
