This is a great CE!
Loving it! I only played two levels of the demo and I already knew I must have this one. It's in the line of My Kingdom for the Princess, just a lot better. I love the MKFTP series, but Kingdom Chronicles I absolutely adore.
The artwork is crisp and fun. I found the characters a lot more responsive and there's a lot more to do. The music is fun with the sound of waves in the background.
I haven't counted how many levels the game has, but there seems to be plenty of hours, if not days, of fun on the horizon and I for me this will have re-play value.
I will definitely treat myself to this CE. Love all the extras the CE to offer, especially the extra game play and the build in strategy guide.
Totally, totally loving it!

My Kind Of Collector's Edition
This is such a great game and a collector's edition to boot this is so awesome. I'm so glad that this type of builder game is finally a collector's edition. There is so much going on with this game the graphics are awesome, the music is cute and whimsical, the colors are bright and vibrate. This is a builder game much like the MKFTP, and ROR you go around collecting your resources such as wood, food, and stones you have to build your buildings saw mill, rock quarry, farm and gold mine and some levels have special buildings to build, you also have to clear debris off of the road that is blocking your path. Then you have the bad guys that you have to get rid of and collect your rent the rent has to be collected by certain people and the bad guys have to be fought off by certain people there are power ups hidden all around along with jewels that you collect and you are able to upgrade all of your buildings to a level 3 and the quicker you can upgrade your buildings the better chance you have of completing the level quicker there are side task you have to do for some of the creatures that are lying in the road. The story is really cute your trying to restore your homeland and free the princess but not without fighting off bandits and monsters. There is a timer but you can continue the level after the timer passes the gold mark and if your not happy that you didn't get the gold the first time you can always go back and replay the level. Some of the levels you need to do some planning on in order to finish in time to get the gold and they can be challenging but they are always fun. There are a lot of awards you can win and there is a built in guide if you should need some help on planning how to finish a level. This is a awesome builder game and I'm so glad it's a collector's edition I absolutely love it the developers got this one dead on. Give this one a try I don't think you'll be disappointed it's a keeper and lots of fun. Thank you so much dev's and Big Fish for this awesome builder ce and I hope you will give us more we want them, we play them, and we love them so please keep them coming.

Great TM Games...Speed...Challenge..Graphics ...
If you have not played these games before ... and ... you have avoided purchasing CE because of their low value ... well, this is a game that you should really give a try.
As TM games go, this type game goes right to the top of my list. Construct dwellings, build roads, upgrade buildings, collect power ups, speak to characters ... you get the picture. This game can be addictive ... working to get gold ... waiting for the next villian to show up ... or waiting to 'hear' what the next character has in store for you.
Visual and sound were also great. The art work jumps off the page. While I don't often listen to the sound, with this game and others like it, I play the sound because the beat of the sound track keeps your adreline flowing.
Challenge -- I only played 4-levels before I knew this was a purchase for me and even this early in the game, your task have already become more challenging.
Storyline -- Not much of one, but who cares, I'm having too much fun building and destroying.
CE vs. Standard -- When these games are in CE I always purchase the CE, the extra levels and the inclusion of the strategy guide is worth every penny -- oops! Dollar! --:)
Recommendation -- This is a no brainer for me, it's a big thumb's up!!

Great new game!
As other reviewers have said, if you like MKFTP, Royal Envoy, Island tribe etc then you should love this. Enough of a challenge for those of us used to this sort of game but with the ability to play past getting gold so that you shouldn't get too frustrated with the time limit.
My only criticism is that you have to be really exact with the cursor in order to collect things, which can delay you slightly.
Overall I recommend this game.

Fast pace fun game
Finally, they gave us another time management game which I love, been suffering from withdrawals of getting more sequels to MKFTP and Roads of Rome. This one makes you think and you have to be fast to plan ahead. I'm not sure what makes this a CE, but I'm guessing there may be a bonus level.It's a buy for me, no matter what.
As already mentioned in previous reviews, there are trophies to win. You can trade wood for stones and vice versa, build lots of buildings and roads etc.
Love to play these strategy games when I just want to change it up a bit, not always playing adventure and HOG, which I collect. A lot of fun

Immediate buy
Very similar to Island tribe in that you clear the way, build this and build that.
After reaching the 3rd level and noticing there are at least 40 of them, i'm buying!
If you loved IT and 'My Kingdom.... ' you'll love this!
This is the quickest buy for me.

Lovely and fun game
This is a lovely building/strategy game with colourful graphics and fun gameplay.
Similar to the MKFTP/Roads of Rome games.
There are a variety of different things to do each level, some levels are challenging, others easier to complete in gold time.
There are 40 levels in the main game and only 6 in the bonus.
The scoring is not very good as it does not give a time the level was completed or breakdown of what the score consists of and when you replay the total of the replay score gets added on.
The strategy guide is useless- only gives very general tips.
As a CE this does not have the substance of Royal Envoy which is the best value CE's ever produced in my opinion.
I rate the game 4 stars as a CE - (standard TM's have 50 levels and this has only 46 including the bonus- and there is not a proper strategy guide included)
as an SE I would rate the game 5 stars

WOW - WHAT FUN - 1ST TIME MANAGEMENT GAME I'VE EVER BOUGHT!
I haven't even read the other reviews - this is just a short quick review but
WOW - not usually my type of game but this one just makes me smile!
Clear sharp graphics, smooth scrolling and movements, colourful characters, great transition between levels (I haven't struck any glitches in the first version, but have just upgraded.
A really cool fun game! I certainly must congratulate the developers. Cheers.

Lovely game
I really this game, it is really fun to play. The characters are cute. The skills you earn refill quick and even quicker is you get to the crystal ball.
I bought this game straightaway (??) and enjoy every minute of it.

Excellent game
If you're a fan of My Kingdom for a Princess, Royal Envoy and similar games, then you will also love this one. I have only played the free trial so far, but it's a definite buy for me. The only thing I'm not sure of right now is whether the CE is worth the extra money or not.
