Description
Far from everyday fairy tale.

Dream or nightmare: Galador, a perfectly normal boy, suddenly finds himself in the body of a prince. However, the sudden and rapid rise to office and dignity also has its downsides. Princes are generally expected to be fearless and heroic. But that's not for Galador. He wants to get back to his simple and contemplative life as soon as possible. But that's not that easy: There are many exciting but also amusing adventures to be had on his eventful way back. He meets mysterious wizards, fiery bards and other adventurous and bizarre characters who block his way back. There are many tricky puzzles to be solved. But he has a goal in mind!

Experience exciting adventures together with Prince Galador, enjoy funny dialogues and solve clever puzzles. The graphic adventure in comic style is full to the brim with peppered humor that has it all: There are no cute frogs here who transform into princes. In GALADOR you meet scratchy princesses, hard-drinking magicians, anesthetized hermits, business-minded gods and much, much more...!

Help Prince Galador back to his familiar surroundings and be inspired and entertained while solving this graphic adventure.

Features:

• Comic-style graphic adventure
• 40 characters in 38 locations
• Funny dialogues and clever puzzles

Funny, original, hard

This game is not an easy one, but great humor and original ideas make it totally worth it. I recommend it.

They learned from the best

You can clearly see that this game was not a big budget production, but it has the right spirit. Good humor, solid riddles,everything a good classic point and click adventure needs. If you already own most classics already, make sure you get this little jewel as well. It fits right in.

Nostalgia trip for Polish gamers mostly

This game has cult status in Poland mostly because it was one of the very few Polish games made in 90's that didn't totally suck and could somewhat compete with western titles in terms of production value. It has some good qualities. Story and writing (at least original, I'm not familiar with translations) are decent with some funny and clever moments, Polish voice acting is very good and professional (unlike say Teenagent) with quite a lot of text lines and cartoonish, hand-drawn graphics are excellent, especially backgrounds. Game is fairly long and rich with locations. Unfortunately not much good can be said about gameplay. Solutions are often nonsensical and what worse there is not enough hinting in what should (or shouldn't) be done which makes this game real brute force fest. And by "not enough hinting" I mean you'll be lucky if there will be any hint at all. Good luck with finding rope (or even guessing that you actually need one), deducing what to do with hobo's shoe, making devil's outfit or getting garlic without desperately trying everything on anything (or looking up solution). There are many more bad design choices. Prerequisite for creating one item requires using the same action twice for no apparent reason. Once after acquiring something I tried to talk about it with certain person, without success - it turned out I had first talk about it with another person (quite random) which didn't tell anything useful anyway and only then it unlocked dialog with the one I tried initially. Brilliant. Annoying timed fast reflex sequences or sporadic pixel hunting are just minor inconveniences compared to all this. Fortunately Adrian Chmielarz left point and click genre in piece after Galador and moved on to other projects with great benefit for himself and gamers.

Great game, poor translation.

I can't speak to how difficult the puzzles are or not as I've played it with walkthrough in hand as a child, but it still has the charm I remember. One big gripe is that the English subtitles are very poor and often don't really match, though given that it's a fan translation is to be expected.

I love this game

I love it, I love it. I was hoping that it would be rereleased for years. I played the hell out of this as a child to the point that almost 15 years later I can still quote certain scenes from memory. I love the story, I love the characters, I love the ridiculous humour. And while some puzzles can get convoluted I'm still having fun because the dialogues are just so funny and sarcasting and cutting. The plot plays perfectly with the legends and fantasy tropes, diverting the expectations on every turn. I cannpt recomend this enough.
