Reviews for "Mandrake"

Relevant Items Much?

It was well drawn (aside from the pixelation in the 360 areas) but at least half the items didn't seem relevant to their tasks. The wand? It was described as broken so its only safe to assume it needed to be fixed before useage. The toilet paper? Pointless. This is supposed to be a point and click adventure, not an exercise in the process of elimination.

Good, but

From the amount of this game I could play it is cool, I like the art style especially. However I was having trouble so I looked at the walkthrough and in it there is an item that doesn't exist in game, at least my games. The cracker is not where the walkthrough says it is making the game impossible to beat. I don't know if the game needs to be fixed or the walkthrough but it's kind of a disappointment to not be able to end the game.

I didn't like this one at all. Gameplay was extremely frustrating and I needed a walkthrough.

Couldn't Get Anywhere

Certainly good graphics... But, well, I hate to be one of 'those' people, who get mad at a game just because they can't beat it... But in this case, I couldn't find a single use for any of the items, save the screwdriver, which I saw could twist the screws around on the axe-case, but lacking any sort of hidden code as to which way the screws ought to be twisted, this too yielded no results. Point-and click games with items usually strike me as filled with potential, but in the end the uses you put to items tend to be far from what you'd think of, instead resulting to having to go around testing out all your items on everything... Which didn't even get me anywhere here.
But, if I have a good thing to say, it's that this game had a nice style and visual quality. The music and sounds were great, and it looked very good.

Just one thing...

What the hell am I supposed to be doing?

Don't get me wrong, I love point-and-click games, but when you just throw the player in a house with almost no plot and no clues to what you're supposed to be looking for, or killing, or whatever, it doesn't go very well. The beginning wasn't very gripping either. I don't mean to hate on this game though, the art is beautiful. It just needs some improvement, is all.

Maybe I'm just impatient today... :/
