Treasure Seekers 2: The Enchanted Canvasses Review

By Artogon Games, published by Bigfish Games

Story: Tom leaves for Romania in search of the Philosopher’s Stone while his sister Nelly is enjoying her holiday in Guatemala. But Nelly distinctly smells danger in Tom’s new adventure – he’s gone to the evil Totenkraft’s castle, after all! She must follow suit and save her estranged brother in a magical journey through Totenkraft’s enchanted castle!

Treasure Seekers 2: The Enchanted Canvasses is that sort of game where it suffices to create a semi-occult atmosphere and use a particularly holey storyline to present a great game. Never in the game is much stress put on any linear storytelling. Nelly does wail a lot about her lost brother, but there it starts and stops.

Gameplay: Playing as the red-headed sister Nelly, you’re required to break the spell and bring happiness to 5 of the Enchanted Canvasses hanging on Totenkraft’s wall if you must find your brother again. Upon successful completion of this, you can enter the 6^th portrait – the Boss Level – where Totenkraft is holding your brother prisoner.

Treasure Seekers 2 is a delightful little game to play. Each level is of a healthy length, or made so by the sheer difficulty.  The general gameplay is extremely logical and intriguing. A rechargeable hint button is always at your disposal, and you’ll find the need to use quite more than once!

From time to time, as expected, certain well-chosen and well-known minigames will pop up. The Skip button comes in helpful here, as by most chances, you’ll want to skip a few of the puzzles at least.

Graphics and Music: Like puzzles or not, you can’t help being bowled over by Treasure Seekers 2: The Enchanted Canvasses’ awesome presentation, smooth captivating graphics and sprawling level maps. What more can be said? The game is truly flawless in this aspect.

Bottomline: On the whole, Treasure Seekers is a short but interesting game. While not truly innovative, it is a worthwhile game for casual gamers and puzzle/ adventure game enthusiasts alike. And of course, when you consider the quality of the ambience and the total appearance of the whole game, it is a great loss if you miss this.

A perfect 5 for the Treasure Seekers 2: The Enchanted Canvasses!
