Faces of Illusion: The Twin Phantoms Review (GenSec39)
The first impression was rather good. The game started on the positive note. Unfortunately most of the good stuff became very 'meh' before even reaching the midgame. Visuals are more or less ok, I guess. Gameplay was boring. You barely encounter any HoG scenes. Puzzles were nothing special - you are just clicking stuff most of the time without any thought process.
The story is extremely dumb. Most of the time you will chase local villain, but no matter how hard he will try to stop you and how much time you will waste dealing with his traps, the moment you get to another location, you can still see him 'diligently' trying to run away. At certain moment he'll even manage to KO you. It will take you few hours to wake up. But guess what? The moment you enter the next room, you won't believe, he will be right there still 'trying' to run away.
The ending is also kinda ridiculous. I mean, if that relic is so important and so powerful... why these sore losers even were tasked to keep and protect it? This is totally senseless. And even less believable. Why even bringing these secret lodges, if you can't write anything meaningful about them?
A special word about Arthur, our helper in this adventure. This boy has already become local meme. He is either blind or totally dumb, because will fall in every hole and get in every trap. Literally. Not 1. Not 2. But every damn trap. Ridiculous. I can't recommend this game, but if you still want it for trading cards - get it on sale.
