Azada Elementa
While I realize this is not like the original Azadas this is an awesome game it has something for everyone and an interesting storyline, loved it.

A Worthy Sequel
A very challenging game with different types of mini-games. The items to use are not obvious and there are intermediate steps to take.
The hidden objects do not reappear, so you actually work your way through scenes. Appearing somewhat cluttered at first, they become cleared away as you return.
The art is gorgeous as always with Azada games. I didn't mind the music at all...the sound quality is very good. The hint and map features were very helpful.
Search the areas carefully; some of the intermediate items needed are hidden...luckily, the cursor changes to a magnifying glass, otherwise you might miss them.
The pet is new; I enjoyed the feature, dressing it to match the climate of the different worlds.
The magic bottles does two things: it allows you to see the hidden symbols and bypasses magic locks and other magic obstacles.
This is a very good game; I am enjoying it a lot. I am always mystified by the virulence of some reviewers, but I guess it's a good thing we don't always think alike. If you like puzzles interspersed with hidden objects, you will like this game!

Another step downhill in the series
The first Azada I loved. The second was fairly decent and still enjoyable. The third I barely recognised as from the same series but I bought, played and finished it, though it is far from being one of my favourites. But this I have not been able to tolerate for more than 15 minutes. It is awful. There are too many 'helpful' interruptions, too many overly dramatic cut scenes, too many places where you can click on something only to find nothing useful there at all, and using the 'magic bottle' thing was irritating, not to mention the strange pet you are given at the beginning whose only purpose seems to be one of increasing the irritation of the player even more. 15 minutes! That is all I could stand of it. It took me longer to download the trial than I have been able to tolerate playing the game. Not only would I definitely not recommend it, I would suggest that no-one even wastes bandwidth by downloading the trial version. The developers have taken what was originally a really good game and turned it into a load of rubbish. Shame.

HOS everyone now ....! :(
Azada was one of my favourite adventure game until this last episode. We used to know azada as a great challenging adventure-puzzle game which is never included a single Ho scene. We never needed a closet full of unneccary things and never had much time to click such uncessary weird objects to continue the adventure.. It would be just waste of time because we needed a quality time to understand the real challenging puzzles. We adventure lovers were only own 10-15 types of such pure adventure (puzzle) games but now they are ruining those all one by one:( Sadly I cant recommend this game to any of the real Azada fans but other HOPA lovers might like it (even if there is nothing different than other HOPAS)
P.S : Wish to see more puzzle adventure games without HO scenes... Kinda tired of waiting one...

Terrible
One of my all time favourite games is Azada and I also have 2 & 3. I was on the edge of my swivel chair when I saw this and couldnt wait to get stuck in.
Im not the sort of player who is interested in dialogue or story line unless they contain clues needed to progress in the game and always mute music. I played in Advanced mode.
Far too many HOS, far too much faffing about to find things to play the non challenging puzzles. The only advantage to having the map, was you could faff about quicker.
I like games to have some logic too. Catching a falling metal object with a cobweb isnt logical. Im guessing the challenge element of this game will be from finding where to use your itinery items in an illogical manner.
A lot of players will assume, as I did, that because its got Azada in the title it will be a quality game. Its substandard and should not have been released if it wasnt going to be of a similar level to the previous games.
In one word BORING

there are better ones out there
This is the first one I tried and did not last past the trial. Graphic and music are ok. Has a map but does not tell u much at all. Just for a RES game not that good as many of there others.

A sad disappointment - Azada's fall from grace
I used to LOVE the Azada games for their incredible graphics, fabulous puzzles and exciting stories. They were head and shoulders above most Big Fish games. What a fall from grace!
Now, this Azada version looks like one of the worst clones of many of the substandard adventure games on this site. The graphics are muddy and cheap looking. Please do not use this artist for any more Big Fish games. I HATE the graphics on this one. For some reason, this artist seems to get most of the Big Fish game art assignments to the detriment of the players.The budget on this game must have come out of someone's pocket change. Please bring back quality art to adventure games.
