Rescue the Enchanter Reviews

by Footspade-Gucci

Paid Premium - still “In App Purchase” for fast travel and clues -$.99 each.

I have purchased several of your games for $3.99 and I have enjoyed playing them, although they are fairly short. I pay the premium to avoid in app purchases which makes me feel like I am being ripped off. Make it $4.99 and I will make the decision instead of offering the game at a lower level of play and making me improve it with more money.

I will not purchase another one of your game’s.

I miss the lonely wolf, when the company change names, the quality usually goes down. First thing first, it would be nice to have the hints and fastpass for free. Ridiculous to pay for these features. Second, most anti-lonely wolf puzzle, the puzzle 83. It far beyond annoying, we are playing the puzzle game. Not action or staff like that. What’s the point to set a ridiculous short time to solve the puzzle. I got the hint paper shoes the directions for the circles. But never have enough time to prove the hint paper is correct or not. Shame on you, wish the old lonely wolf come back

I played the first two of these and they were enjoyable. This one, due to the timed puzzles, not so much. I got to the one in scene 83 and am pretty much dead in the water. I have solved it numerous times, but apparently you have to do it quickly. This has ruined the game for me, as I am unable to finish it. There should probably be a skip button for those of us who do not want timed puzzles. Otherwise an okay game.

The game itself is solid. I do love solving puzzles. The ISSUE is little things like hints. A buck to unlock hints for a game that will take you maybe a few hours to complete? Shouldn’t $3.99 give you that anyway?

At one point I got stuck in the desert, and I was like: “Well, let’s fast travel back to that airship, maybe I missed something.” AND WHAT WAS I GREETED WITH? PAY ANOTHER DOLLAR FOR FAST TRAVEL. A SIMPLE FEATURE THAT SHOULD BE FREE.

$3.99 Should get you everything. It does not. The game again itself is solid. The BS is the in app purchases. Ugh...

Just finished the game, I think it took more than 4 hours. After maybe 2 hours playing it gets too hard with so many places to explore. It starts to be more a random search in every region instead of a strategy game, with can be a little boring. If you get stuck (specially after opening the castle region) I advise you to look for some tips or walkthrough. Anyway, its a great game!

I think it can work for a wide range of people. It's not incredibly complicated or difficult but has enough to make it still pretty fun for a point and click adventure game. I like the option to skip some of the mini games if they are driving you nuts or happen to be something you aren't good at. I also like that the built in hints generally just help you figure out which place to go back to instead of telling you what to do. At a certain point the game map gets so big that even if you get an item you identify as something you can use somewhere but you might not know the exact screen and would end up spending tons of time just trying it - hence why the hints and the map feature are pretty useful. My only recommendation to the developers would be to make it so you can get a different hint if you are having difficulties with the one as the game is - ib ways - non-linear as you can do different things at different times. Overall though, I like it, and as long as the games like this from them stay around the $3ish mark and last this long I will definitely buy again.

More of a time killer than anything. Nice graphics. You have to buy the clues and the zoom to location feature as extras. The built in hints are very good and if you can’t figure it out there are walk though videos. The puzzles are easy but sometimes just annoying as you have to get angles just right. There is one puzzle at least that has a bypass button because it’s not easy at all.

Rescue the Enchanter was a lot of fun. I found it easier to move around than the others and the puzzles were more challenging. However, the creators lust for money is a little daunting. I don’t mind paying for a game, especially one as good as this one. But I don’t think the “in app” purchases are fair. Why not just ask the price you want straight out. Your game is worth it. When it’s in bits and pieces, it seems greedy and slick - not a good look. With that said I already bought your next game so, I’m off to the next adventure. By the way, your graphics are awesome!

The game was a cerebral challenge for sure. Some hints had to be played because the puzzle had no instructions as to how to interact with it. Case in point. How do you know to put the Chinese lanterns in the order they are hung on the hooks? If you took the number of lanterns and multiplied that by the number of possible combinations to get the chains to drop to the right lengths in order to release the last figurine, it would take five to the power of five to get the combination right. You have to play the hint to get the order correct. A simple note to the player, such as “ hang as received” tells the player that the lanterns are to be placed on the hooks, in the same order as they were gathered. You could tell them, Rainbow sequenced. Then the player would have to know what colors are in what sequence in a naturally occurring rainbow in order to correctly place them on the hooks. Hang a rainbow vertically by a hook. Same idea.

Story was a little weak but I guess not what it’s supposed to be. Had a hard time keeping up with where to go, had to purchase additional $1. Just to fast travel. Again, not needed but really got lost going back and forth. Overall, good game but really wish they included the one time transactions.

I like the Syntaxity apps. While they’re not at the level of the Room series or the House of DaVinci Games (with their immersive rendered environments), they all are a decent way to pass a few hours, using your brain. The puzzles in Rescue the Enchanter are occasionally clever, but aren’t exceedingly difficult, and even the most challenging have a solution clue hidden somewhere.

The map in this game is quite large, and if you haven’t paid to upgrade to the “Fast Map” functionality, it can get tedious porting clues/items back and forth across the four game areas. Also, if you’re looking for puzzles to solve and not so much storytelling, this game will suit, as there are plenty of puzzles. My only caveat would be to look closely at the walls and floors in every new area you discover, since clues are sometimes hidden in dark wall patches, or behind mismatched wall/floor materials. Just knowing that going in can save you some frustrating “what now?” moments.

Overall, this is a solid, fun puzzler. If you haven’t tried Syntaxity apps, and you just want to try one, I might start with Enchanted Worlds, and then Blackthorne Castle, both of which I think are slightly more challenging than Rescue.

Gorgeously creative worlds....I found myself immersed in them. Game play is nice and long. The puzzles were not too challenging. Lots of running around..unless you pay extra for the quick map option...which is pinchy IMHO. We already paid for the game, we shouldn't have to pay extra for the quick map. The desert scene should've at least skipped over the tap, tap tapping. But basically, if you enjoy point and click games..you'll love this one. I felt it was worth the money.

I was able to download this one for free and then was pleasantly surprised later on when it was upgraded to include the fast travel and hint options.

Not the most intricate or compelling storyline but it is cleanly designed with quality artwork and music.

I do have to say the ending frame did not quite line up with my expectations...could you at least have sprung for some sort of costume for the character which accurately reflected the fantastical or historical context of the story?

by Pickwickpixie

This is a long circuitous one by these developers. But in a nice way. No glitches. Only thing is, every now and then, I’d get stuck trying to look for an object or clue to a puzzle that was very artfully concealed in a scene that I could have sworn had nothing more to reveal. I don’t like those hidden object sort of games so maybe that’s why it got to me. On the other hand, the scenes themselves along with the transportation, and the puzzles are all nicely done.

by I Am Curious

Always entertaining, in part because it is occasionally so baffling I must put it down and return later! and, of course, the answers that appear reasonable and I wonder why I didn’t see it in the first place! Keep up the good work.

by Mumz1k

One of a very few developers that make such creative and well made point and click escape games. Every aspect of each game is thoroughly thought through. Mini games are fun and challenging. Wonderful “fast travel” option helps not to get lost in wondering around the locations while trying to find the clues or return to them, as well as does the “snap shots” option. I’ve given the same 5 star review to every Syntaxity game I have played as they are all excellent!

by Revmat

It’s a good game for what it is. You know what you’re getting if you’ve been playing the other apps in this series with your adventurer of an uncle. Like most of these apps, make sure your screen resolution is high; plenty of things to miss in the shadows. If you need to do these quick, sure, pay for the hints. The price for the quick traveler’s location is nothing, so it’s worth it to speed the game along, but if you don’t want to spend money, you can solve the puzzles and take the long and repetitive route.

I’m not knocking RescuetheEnchanter . It’s a great app for entry level into this genre of gaming and there’s just enough story line to keep things interesting, without getting too cheesy.

by Domrep7

I used to quit these type of adventure games early on or middle of the game because the puzzles did not make any sense, did not have any logic and therefore were very hard to solve causing you to give up. But this game in this game riders are amazing I just enough level of difficulty to challenge you but not to discourage you all the puzzles. all the puzzles are logical the graphic is good this sounds so great. This game is all around amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I like to play it during different days and I look forward each day to play a little more and enjoy it. Good job I will get all of them

by SurferKitty

Though the map is a bit formidable-you definitely need to purchase the shortcut function-it's an inexpensive few hours of entertainment with nice little puzzles. Most puzzles are pretty easy, but you still get a spark of accomplishment when you complete one. Overall enjoyable. The art is good, the mechanations are clever.

by Jorge Creator

They mastered this formula and made a great game once again. Some might say that the games are too similar but I feel each one has their own charm!

The clues are great and fast travel is a time saver. The puzzles are very interesting and the graphics are great!

Easily another 5 star game!

by Ron787

I’m a little older I guess, but I so appreciate games like this. Pay a few bucks and get a fun puzzle game that doesn’t have endless levels or ads. You can pick it up and play for 2 mins or 2 hours. And it actually has an end! I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I really enjoyed it and all other apps by this developer. Well done!
