A crappy mobile port!
Okay, to start off, unlike most of the negative reviews, I actually like Dragon's Lair. If you're just curious about the games in general (not these specific versions), read this first paragraph: they're the original quick-time events. You watch a cutscenes, press a button at the right time, and your character doesn't die. Unlike most modern QTEs, the game doesn't tell you directly what button to press, instead using visual cues to show you what the proper next move is (though as the series went on (from Dragon's Lair to Space Ace to Dragon's Lair II) these clues became less and less clever and more reliant on waiting for something to flash yellow and moving towards that). It's purely a test of your reflexes, with a lot of trial-and-error involved, but the death scenes are made amusing enough to shave off some of the frustration. If you're interested in some twitch gameplay in its simplest form and/or want to see a piece of gaming history, it might be worth tracking down a copy. Not this one, though. This "Dragon's Lair Trilogy" is a low-effort compilation of their mobile ports. As such, the HUD from those ports are present at all times, no way to turn them off. There's also a "move guide" which shows you which buttons to press at what time, removing the need to watch the animation itself for clues (you can turn this off, but this choice doesn't save if you quit and come back, rendering their save feature useless). The menus don't work properly unless you use the mouse. The gameplay runs choppily, despite just being a video player that listens for keyboard input. And there may be bugs that make the game unplayable; Space Ace, in particular, has a branching path in its first scene, but I couldn't get the alternate path to trigger, even when the game told me I'd done the input correctly. I've wanted a nice collection of all three of these games for a while (still don't have Dragon's Lair II), but this isn't it. At least GOG refunded me, so good on them.
Hilft dir das weiter?
