Another Evil Queen
The Phoenix Queen is destroying Enchantia because the inhabitants are destroying Enchantia's natural inhabitants. Evil often does not make sense.
So far the game is fantastic. I am writing this as I'm downloading the full game. The stragegy guide is very good (why buy the CE if it's not, even if you like the game?). The hints are good if you are stuck. As soon as it's installed I'm diving back in and may not come out till I've finished it!!
The HOS are of the 'find the pieces' variety, not my favorite, but, not a game stopper either. Enjoy! I know I will. I couldn't choose Enchantia as my favorite game, but, it is!!

Spoiler
Like all Blue Tea Games, very lush and beautiful graphics... but was disappointed in that not all of the locations on the mapped are visited - not even in the Bonus Game! Story line was a bit confusing too.... is the Phoenix evil because it was destroying a civilization that was arrogant? Dwarf civilization not too sympathetic nor were the two human tribes. Just who were the good guys in this? Still an enjoyable game, just not up to the standards I'm used to from Blue Tea
SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also disturbed that in order to get the last two songbird eggs, you had to decide whether to poison the water supply to kill all the horses or create weapons to kill the people of the Wolf tribe

Downloading as I write this Review!!!!!!!
Cannot fault Blue Tea Games!!!!!!!!! Clear graphics, voices in cinq, fragmented items (which I love), haven't tried the hint button but there are morphing objects to collect to make it recharge faster, and as far as I can tell, no collectables or achievements. Beautiful scenery which is expected from these devs. They really take the time and trouble to make exceptional games!!!!. Only played for about 10 mins. as can't wait to add this to my collection!!!!!!!!! Come on! It's from Blue Tea so it must be good!!!!!!!!! Seems to be plenty of characters throughout the game to help, and to hinder. Highly recommended.

not a good game
I brought this game straight away, and I really wish I had played the demo first as I didn't enjoy it at all.
The story was badly explained and difficult to follow,
I thought the hidden object puzzles were annoying and there were to many of them.
Nothing was very linear and though the art work was beautifully done it was hard to find the active areas.
In short, I just wasted a tenner and I'm not happy.

I'm with the minority on this one
I really like this developer's games. I really disliked this one. The first thing that hit me was how over the top the graphics were. I had just finished replaying an earlier Dark Parables game and the difference was shocking. This creates an additional problem during the HO scenes which are washed out, grainy and a real mess.
This was a visual disaster. But spend the time to download this huge game and see for yourself.

To Loud Graphics
I have previously purchased all of the Blue Tea Games, but I will not be purchasing this one.
Scenes are jam packed with overdone graphics. Not only that, but the "travel" scenes are blurred and washed out.
Fragramented scenes are way to busy and cluttered with extremely bright colors.
There is way to much to look at, thereby making Scenes to decorative and to busy.
Bright colors should be combined in moderation.
This game is very hard on the eyes.

Totally enjoyable!
Stunning graphics, voice-overs and cut-scenes make this game very appealing to play.
Rather than the standard hidden objects, this game had fragments of objects to find. Something I thoroughly enjoy. However, this game fell short in that the hidden object scenes had no interaction whatsoever.
The puzzles varied from very easy to moderate, with a good variety although nothing new.
There were bonus 'cursed' objects to find, but no achievements to earn.
The only map available was the one with your 'compass' to take you to different areas. This could have been excellent, but you were always told where to go, which took the challenge away.
The storyline was was there and flowed nicely, but no edge of the seat drama. Some of the mini-stories within the game were sad, and the overall story wasn't the happiest of endings.
The game itself was a tad bit short, but not enough to really be noticeable.
The bonus chapter was of the same beautiful calibre as the main story, but not essential to it - more of a prequel.
Whilst it did have its shortfalls, the game was still very enjoyable and worth the CE value. Definitely recommend.

Not My Cup of Blue Tea
I was excited when I found this was a Blue Tea game. I have loved them all... until now. This was a jumbled mess with too much dialog, too much that you thought you needed to look at without it really being important. Felt more like a history lesson than a game.
The graphics were extremely out of focus. To find all the objects in the FROG scenes was next to impossible without using the hint.
This demo had me running all over the place for items and there were so many it was difficult to remember where they were to be used.
The fact that the map was interactive didn't really help as you would think it might. The puzzles were not challenging at all even though they were somewhat different. Some were not actually puzzles; just put object in the scene and you get an open door, etc.
I have never heard of this fairy tale. Did they just make it up or was I already asleep when the books were read at bedtime? The storyline was pretty obvious, no guesswork there, but how the game played was confusing.
I am very disappointed with this game and will not even consider it when it becomes an SE. Blue Tea and BF, this game is just awful. I know Blue Tea is capable of creating far better games. What were they thinking???

Not Wowed!
Since there was such mixed reviews I had to try this for myself. I LOVE Blue Tea games but I wasn't wowed by this one. The graphics are very busy but good for the most part. They blur when you first come into the scene but then they clear, but I found this a little annoying. The scenes are colorful but very very cluttered. I don't like HOS where you have to piece items together and that is what this is. Because the scenes were so cluttered I found myself sitting close to my monitor trying to find the pieces! Storyline - ho hum and I thought some of the cut scenes were a little over the top. I felt things also fell into place a little too easily and quickly so there didn't seem to be much of a challenge even in the hardest play mode. I know a lot of people like this game but it just wasn't for me.

Another Bunch of Grey Curleyque Graphics in Hidden Scenes
NOT WORTH COLLECTOR'S Price......I played the 60 Minute Demo....A LOT OF RUNNING AROUND IN CIRCLES to find objects...I guess so you use up your time quickly, but it didn't give me much chance to enjoy of get a flavor for the game...AND game USED A LOT OF recycled GREY GRAPHICS in Hidden Object scenes, which I hate--the grey and the recycling...Gives your dejavue or "Ground Hog day feeling (i.e. the movie GroundHog day, lol)...The Story was ok...when I had time to pay attention to it.....But based on the overall fun factor, I don't know if I will even buy it when it is SE....Make sure you consider all these things when making your decision....
