I had low expectations about this game. The trailer did not look so good. But this game advertises itself as a Myst style game and I have a hunger for anything that is like Myst. I am so glad I played it because this game turned out to be a very good puzzle game that offers plenty of hours of fun gameplay.
After playing it I can confirm that this game is 100% a Myst style game. The game has a room with rotating walls, a rotating temple, moving platforms, a cleverly hidden room, laser beams, strange devices to operate and a rollercoaster ride. The game has plenty of puzzles that are very good.
An extra thing I liked about this game is that there is text to read in this game, but it is not a lot of text. The text is short and to the point. I welcome that because I don’t like lots of reading as it is sometimes the case with Myst style games.
What I did not like was that the game contains two mini-games that involve quick timing. One of them is the famous three-cups-and-a-ball game. Luckily both games can be won easily by using the film-camera on a mobile phone.
Another negative part of Moon Castle is that the shadows are 100% black, this makes parts of the environments non-visible. There was one elevator button in particular that I was unable to see. Even after consulting a walkthrough I had great trouble in detecting that button. I even thought for a while that the walkthrough was wrong.
Other than that I only have positive opinions about this game. It is a great Myst-style game to play while waiting for the next game made by Cyan. A must play for Myst fans.
This thing was fun for awhile and then it fell into the trap of being seriously overcomplicated. I was ok until i stumbled into that underground lab with no real motivation to solve it. Games jump the shark when puzzles seem pointless. I can handle difficult in context (Riven) but can't handle tedious grinds for filler.(Myst 4) This started out promising but became a chore. When the fun is gone and it feels like work, I'm done. Sorry.
it's virtually impossible to count the flashes of light to start the 3 button generator! flashes way to fast, 2 +
flashes per second, stuck there for 4 hours, it sucks !
Generally I love this type of game, having played Myst and Riven. However, this one will not function with my Rift system. It works fine up to the point where you ride the car from the castle, then the whole point of view goes out of whack. from that point on, you are looking at the ground and to see horizontally, you have to look straight up (very uncomfortable). I tried different settings to no avail. It might work on other systems, but if you have a Rift, forget it.
Positive:
- Puzzles are very good in the last third of the game. Developer definitely knows how to design nice challenges and integrate them into the gameworld through interesting mechanical devices. Rotating bridges, giant telescopes, lasers.. etc. Nothing too original, but it is well executed.
- Pacing and overall flow is well done. Once the game picked up around its midway point, I couldn't turn it off and finished it in a single 7 hour session.
Negative:
- Control scheme is bizarre.. I have no idea why this game does not have standard first person controls.
- Early puzzles are a bit over-clued and does not offer the same satisfaction level as the later ones. It is obvious that the developer matured his design skills as he was completing the game.
- Music doesn't really fit the atmosphere.
- Point systems is not a bad idea, but since you end up gathering all points as you finish the game (there are no extra/secret puzzles that makes you earn additional points), it doesn't really add anything and works more like a progress bar for finishing the game.
- I think the game would have been more interesting if it was nonlinear. Current design has three major areas that should be completed in sequence.
- Visuals are adequate but some of the shadows are too dark, which makes it difficult to navigate and observe clues in such areas.
Being a huge Myst fan, I enjoyed Moon Castle a lot. Unfortunately first few hours of the game is its weakest part, hence I think a lot of people will be put off by the weird controls, muddy graphics and medicore puzzles. However, the game definitely picks up after the initial areas and later stages have some very solid puzzle and area design. If you are a hardcore puzzle adventure fan I think you will like this game. Hopefully the developer will continue to pubish new games.
Very interesting range of puzzles to solve and also liked the visuals
As long as the developers keep working on updates this will be a decent Myst clone. As of right now, there are little issues like being able to get stuck on certain parts of the map. These need ironing out, but it has great potential.
Finally completed the game. And I think it's a 100% myst-like game with enjoyable environmental puzzles (my favorite one is about lasers; *those Myst feelings*). Yes, graphics and optimization leave much to be desired, but don't let it scare you off :) This game is a little gem. If you are a fan of mystoids - and there are not many of them nowadays - just give it a try.
Absolute garbage
If you enjoyed Myst and Quern, then you should enjoy this game. The puzzles are fun. The graphics are very good, of course. I've played it twice and enjoyed both times.
It is myst like and doesnt hold your hand. Good puzzles fun atomosphere and all around enjoyable experiance if you like Myst like games buy moon castle.
