Samantha Swift and the Golden Touch Review

Samantha Swift is an adventurer aiming to locate the golden scroll of Alexander, but instead she discovers the mystery of King Midas and seeks to uncover a historical scheme involving the ancient despot.

Lots of Locations to Explore

Expect a long adventure filled with many artifacts to be collected, clues to be uncovered, and exciting locations to visit. Travel through the sand-covered ancient worlds of Egypt and Turkey, explore mansions and villages from Ireland to Thailand and everywhere in between. Each location surpasses its predecessor in splendor, displaying vibrant colors and fantastic features such as ancient statues, Turkish baths, and even magnificent palaces!

Sounds effects and music also complement the game very well, reinforcing ominous moods in appropriate places and adventurous in others.

Interesting Plot

The plot itself is somewhat invigorating, become more deeply involved in the modern plot to capture the power of the Midas touch while collecting ancient relics along the way, a bonus to the history lover. While it technically fits into both the adventure and hidden objects categories, expect primarily object hunting with some tasks completed with items found and scattered mini-games. Unlike many hidden objects/adventure games, the length is surprisingly long and will offer many hours collecting items and using them to fulfill missions.

Not Quite Challenging As a Hidden Object Game

Unfortunately, the experienced hidden objects gamer will likely be unpleasantly surprised by the simplicity of object location and will finish the game in record time. That said, more casual or inexperienced players will almost certainly be challenged by the tasks presented in this feature, and therefore is most highly recommended to novice players.

Conclusion - All Around Good Time

Attractive locations, great length and fun-filled story line will make this a hit to those less experienced in the hidden objects/adventure categories.
