Bring back the light
Help Princess Iris to become the Queen, and defeat evil King and his shadows. You must bring back the light by igniting the beacons, and liberate the town trapped in darkness.
Game has 2 modes: casual with tutorial and experienced without it.
I played in casual mode and I have to say that tutorial was really helpful. You have objective list that keeps track of your current tasks, I found it very useful because you don?t have a journal or map to figure out areas of interest. Also hint system is great, no recharge needed and objective will automatically display next one.
Storyline was quite good, as well as the graphics, also entering different paintings and cartoonish locations for me were more than interesting, I really loved the whole concept.
Speaking of the puzzles they were mostly challenging, in some I even used skip button. Lots of different ones and you must collect a lot of objects in order to solve them. There are no standard hidden object scenes, so this game is more for those who enjoy good puzzles.
I had a great time, try this one out!

Fantastic series
The Drawn series is one of my favorite HOS series on the market. The soundtracks are lovely, the art style is gorgeous, and the storylines really kept me hooked! The puzzles are challenging enough to be interesting but not so much so that any are impossible to solve. Even the voice acting was tailored to the characters, which is something I definitely can't say about all of the HOS games out there--and trust me, after you've played a bunch of HOS games, you really appreciate the little details that the design team includes for you.
For me (on a Windows 7 Home), all 3 games were completely glitch-free and ran like a charm. Highly, highly recommended.

Good Story like the First Game
Like the first game, this game did take me approximately 6-7 hours to finish, but it was not without it's challanges. Some puzzles took me awhile to figure out and I did have to use Franklin to help me when I so stuck that it was frustrating. I would not complain too much about the length of the game being too short like some of the other reviews because most of Big Fish's games are known to be similar in length of approzimately 6-8 hours gameplay time for me. What I look for is how good the story is, how challenging the puzzles are, and how well dawn the graphics are, which this game did a rather good job doing.

not for me
I tried to play the game but just had too much trouble getting into it. I only played the demo and did not finish the hour.

Entertaining and Engaging
The entire Drawn series has a fantastic story, and the graphics are beautiful so no complaints there. At times, it can be a bit difficult to figure out where to go/what to do next but with a bit of persistence things fell into place. The gameplay is a bit different from other games you can find on BFG and that is much appreciated. This is a worthy sequel to the original, Drawn: The Painted Tower.

A Satisfying Continuation of the Story
You start with the choice of difficulty level: Casual (with tutorial) or Experienced (without tutorial). I chose Experienced.
Options include Music, Sound Effects, Brightness (oh, YES!!), Full Screen, Aspect Ratio (stretch to fit the screen, where applicable) and Custom Cursor. There is also a Reset to Default button in case you want to change it back to the way it was when you opened the game.
The Extras button on the main menu will take you to the pages where you can buy the games (Drawn: The Painted Tower; Drawn: Dark Flight), the Credits and/or the Forums.
HINTS are "tiered" and refillable. Click for a hint, get a general idea of what you should be doing; click again and get more specific instructions. Basically, the hints walk you through what you need to know.
I like that the game's toolbar disappears unless you mouse-over it. It's so nice to be able to see all of the artwork and not have it cut off.
Dark Flight takes up right where The Painted Tower left off. I highly recommend playing the first Drawn game before you play Dark Flight, but the game creators have added enough story that you won't be totally perplexed if you didn't play Painted Tower first.
The Drawn games are story-driven adventures, so if you don't like stories in your games, these probably aren't for you.
The music, the gameplay, the voices... even the scenery is very similar. We visit some familiar locations, but from different angles - beautifully done, devs This was an absolute must-buy for me after only 10 minutes of the demo. It was enough for me to know that this game has the same high production values as the first Drawn game.
There is just one more thing I'd like to mention: When you exit the game, you are automatically taken into a video-preview of Dark Flight. It is beautifully done, majestic and thrilling... except that you will see it every time you exit the game. Or NOT! I thought I saw someone griping about this, but it's easily skipped - just hit the ESC key! My only gripe is that exiting the game also automatically takes you to the CE purchase page. A slight annoyance, but one I can easily live with.

Not for everyone.
If you are not particularly adept at solving puzzles regarding spacial thinking, be prepared to skip every single puzzle in this frustrating game. Gorgeous. Frustrating. Hints are more clear than in the first game, some so simple you laugh, but mostly so complex you walk away. Why can't the puzzles be more varied?

THRILLING TO THE MIND

So Beautiful!
Drawn: Dark Flight is the sequel to Drawn: The Painted Tower. The storyline picks up where the last one left off, where you are helping Iris to light the beacons to her kingdom to defeat the evil usurper king. This is a quality adventure game.
The graphics are beautifully done, and the puzzles are challenging. The music is beautiful. The sensory quality of this game is just great. My only complaint is I would have liked to have had a map, because I got lost a few times. But, if you like adventure games, this one is definitely worth a look.
