I remember when I was still playing the Famicom, how had I ever seen a game of this level? At that time, puzzle games basically relied on pixels and text prompts, such as "Monkey Island Heroes". The screen was blurry like a mosaic, but the plot was awesome. Thinking about it now, I still miss it. But now that I started playing "Escape Room 15 Mysterious Palace", I was immediately stunned - King Arthur, Merlin, and the Lady in the Lake, the background of this story is so right! 😎
You said that modern games have indeed improved a lot. The graphics are so detailed that you can count them, and the music can make people immersed in it. But we old players all know that it's useless to just look good. It also depends on whether the puzzle design is interesting. After playing a few levels, I feel that this game has the shadow of the old days in its routines: such as finding clues, puzzles, and cracking mechanisms. The rhythm is well controlled, unlike some new games that force advertisements to delay time. And the plot setting is quite immersive - investigating a case as an apprentice of Merlin, it feels like the little kid in "Monkey Island" trying to conquer the world, but now it's a high-definition 3D version, hehe. 🎮
I particularly appreciate its combination of classic puzzle solving and modern technology, such as those detailed scene interactions, without having to be as blind as before. But be careful not to be led astray by the picture. There are many places where you should use your brain. I remember when we played "King's Quest", we would get stuck on one puzzle for a month. Now the game is moderately difficult and won't discourage you from playing, but it is necessary to use your brain. This retains the soul of the old game. 👍
Finally, I want to say that this game is free and can run on Android 5.0. The developer is Shenzhen Martian, which looks like a domestic product. Don't miss it, veterans, especially those who like the legend of King Arthur, or want to experience the “modern version of Monkey Island”, hurry up! Anyway, while I was playing, I recalled the days when I played games secretly as a child, and I burst into tears...🤣
