Drawn Review

By far the most impressive aspect of Drawn: The Painted Tower is its fantastic graphics that truly transport the player to this magical world. Beautiful scenes with magical purposes excite the imagination.

Explore an Enchanted Tower

It is your duty to rescue Iris, a young girl with the coveted ability to bring her paintings to life, from the top of an enchanted tower. The tower itself is depicted perfectly as dark and eerie while the paintings are a wealth of color and vivacity, bringing Iris' world to you completely. Every nook and cranny in the tower holds something needed to move forward, such as shards of glass to reconstruct a window that points you in the right direction.

Very Creative Puzzles and Artwork

Creativity abounds in plot, artwork, and game navigation. Draw rain clouds in a tree painting to bring the tree to life, causing it to branch out of the canvas and connect you to a new room.

Good Puzzles

Some puzzles must be completed to move onward as well, such as discovering which combination of eyeballs must be closed to move a giant spider at the base of a tree. The puzzles are challenging and some can become too difficult but each puzzle may be skipped if it is unable to be solved. The only major downside is that it is too easy to skip through difficult parts using the “skip puzzle” and hint features, which could lead to beating the game much too quickly.

Conclusion - Drawn's Design Excellence Makes It a Winner

However, this is hardly enough to detract from the high quality aesthetics and creative story line that make this game exciting and a worthwhile adventure.
