Myths Of Orion: Books of Power

• Steam user Steam user …1386Steam reviews · Oct 29, 2017 · 3 h played

  Short version: 74% Myths of Orion is a beautiful hidden object game with a fluid gameplay, a surprisingly grim storyline, and lazy hidden object scene design. Long version: Despite its sci-fi sounding title, Myths of Orion: Light from the North is actually a typical fairy tale fantasy hidden object game, with a surprising story approach: our tale starts after the big evil sorcerer already won and devastated most of the kingdoms. As a daughter of a young enchantress, the protagonist’s task is…

  A very good hidden object game with challenging puzzles, neat characters, good voice acting, and a clear and engaging central story line. Will be looking for more games from this Croatian developer. Looks like Artifex Mundi has some competition!

  I was expecting the usual from a hidden-object point-and-click: baffling plot twists, bizarre game logic, and as much amusement in explaining what was going on to my friends as I got from playing it. What I got was an artistically pretty game with an excellent soundtrack compared to others in the genre and a tight, forward-moving plot. The areas were well done, it actually felt like something was at stake in the game. I had to skip some of the puzzles because the controls were a bit wonky,…

  I loved this game. Immersive, with a storyline that added just enough purpose without being intrusive (I hate games that have tons of dialogue). The animation is beautiful, a cross between cartoony and realistic. It was generally clear what to do with objects and how to progress. The mini-games were great, too -- it has the traditional mix of create-a-pathway, do a puzzle, follow the pattern, etc. but has some different twists. Just challenging enough to make me work, but not enough that I gave…

  A really nice HOG. it is definitely a highlight of Cateia Games' catalogue. Graphics and voice acting are very high quality and the story is serviceable. It reminded me of the old Artifex Mundi games. As usual with Cateia Games this game reuses some of the assets and puzzles from their other titles but it's not a major issue.

  Game Information "Myths of Orion: Light From The North" is a Hidden Object Puzzle Adventure game. The game was developed by Cateia Games and published by Libredia. The Game Review Game Visuals I want to mention that the visuals in the game are nicely done. The visuals can be adjusted in the game's option menu. Game Audio I want to mention that audio for the game is well done. Even though the audio is somewhat simplistic and repetitive. The audio can be adjusted in the game's option menu…

  Even though the story is generally interesting and the graphics, music, and voices are good, and most of the puzzles and hidden object scenes are fun, I can't recommend this game because some "twitch" parts of the game are extremely difficult to do with a mouse (which makes me think this was a phone game). For example, the sliding thorns puzzle is excruciatingly difficult with a mouse and the fight scenes with the thieves are very difficult. I also didn't like the hidden object puzzle that kept…

  One of the good ones, as hidden object adventures go. Very enjoyable atmosphere and unfolding story (unlike the typical ones that make you wish it was just bare puzzles); not exactly going to be novelized, but still a positive element. Decent non-hidden-object puzzles. Nice artwork throughout, especially the hiddens. A few annoyances: A bit short (by my reckoning; some will find it just right). Awkward controls for several minigames (a match-3 where you cannot slide the cursor rather than…

  It's not bad; the graphics are decent (for an HOG), the dialogue and plot aren't horrifying (for an HOG), the voice work is absolutely okay (for an HOG), the actual hidden object puzzles are good, and it's pretty darned fun. In fact, the only downside are the mini-games, which almost entirely revolve around sliding object based puzzles, culminating in the absolute worst moving crate puzzle ever (rules are clumsily explained, and even if you watch a walkthrough, I suspect you will still be…

  love hidden object adventure games, but this is hidden object after hidden object , not a lot of adventure it's so padded out with ho's it just got tedious, I have played it before and I just gave up in the end, I have tried it again and done the same thing. don't bother with this game If you like your adventure games.

  I really enjoyed this. It's really on par with Artifex Mundi games. Don't really understand why it has some bad press. Play it if you're into Hidden Object games. That's all there is to know!

  Having played just about all of the Artifex Mundi games available on Steam, I was really hoping this would be a new option to fill my desire for a casual puzzle game. Unfortunately, I just can't recommend this game. While it follows the same basic elements of all hidden object games, there are quite a few issues that make this game frustrating instead of fun. All of the hidden object scenes only give you a certain number of objects at a time, and you can't find objects until they are on the…

  Fairly good hidden-object game, with relatively smooth gameplay, typical but intuitive puzzles (mostly), HO scenes of various modes (search by objects name or silhouette), nice graphics and music, and not a bad voiceover. Gameplay will likely last only an hour or two as the game is really not difficult, but newly added achievements may add to some replayability as you need to finish the game at least twice to get all of them. Good for avid HOG players to add to their collection.

  Decent HOPA game. The story, graphics, music and atmosphere were good. But at the end it gets shorter and shorter. The puzzle with boxes was pure sadism. What I disliked is that there's no interactions with characters after being done with kingdom. They could've say goodbye to Meredith after getting books or acknowledge that she's the reason why kingdoms are in such poor state. Writers brought this up a few times, but it didn't mattered in the overall story. Also it was a little weird that the…

  The interface and interactions points are sometimes annoying. The map action marker is sometimes imprecise or missing. Some puzzles are very difficult with imprecise explanation. Anyway the game is engaging, with a nice story and VA.

  Recommended, but only if you get it on sale. This is a pretty standard hidden object adventure. It's a bit more focused on searching each location and solving some puzzles with the occasional hidden object scene. All are done pretty well, with nice graphics and an mildly interesting story. It's way too short for the asking price, so best to wait for a deep discount.

  I give this game a solid "meh" rating. It was a decent point and click, long enough, and decently animated, but the story was meh, the voicing was meh, and the mini games were less than meh - I even skipped some "boss battles" which I almost never do, but even with the instructions I could not figure out what I was supposed to be doing or if I was doing it right. There was a health bar for the enemy, but it simple vacilated between full and empty and offered no guidance. Worst of all this game…

  Has trading cards but the store page doesn't mention it for some reason. Some parts are a bit funky with controls. Mobile port maybe? The game came out in 2014 for Steam and still has no achievements, so it's unlikely to ever get them. So feel free to use the skip and hint buttons willy-nilly. It's not worth $15. (IMO almost no HOG are worth $10+). Get it as a part of a bundle or on sale.

  I got a lot of games by this studio over the holiday, and this one contained all the things I dislike about said studio. Flashing light effects in the hidden object scenes, for example. I'm photosensitive so it gives me instant headaches and obscures the already murky graphics of the search area, though maybe that is why they did it. Said murky graphics and reusing items and even artwork from other games. It felt like they wanted a new title and just dug through stuff they hadn't used for a…

  This game looks beautiful and some work went into it. The majority of the puzzles were hard and I had to cheat for one of them. The hidden object games are challenging and this is actually worth a couple of bucks. Some of the games were actually weird for a hidden object game, like bejewelled and clicking on objects. It was definitely unique. Took me just over 4hrs.

  I really enjoyed playing this and completely agree with the other reviewers about the voice acting, music and graphics being surprisingly well done. I liked the map functionality that showed places that had actions that you could take (including HO puzzles) and would allow you to go directly there. Given that there were in-game achievements and collectibles, my only wish is that they would add steam achievements and trading cards...
