Living Legends: Beasts of Bremen Collector's Edition

Magic is a great way to explain most plot holes in movies and video games, since it's very easy to introduce some kind of spell or ritual that makes something appear out of thin air. However, that’s not necessarily a bad thing, especially if the overall story is not that complex to begin with. Hence, most casual games feature all sorts of ridiculous concepts that can be easily accepted or ignored.

Living Legends: Beasts of Bremen is a colorful and exciting hidden object adventure game in which you get to be a part of the famous Bremen music festival and do everything in your power to save it from being canceled. In short, the game features the basic gameplay mechanics found in every other HOPA out there, but the adventure is unique when it comes to environments and the puzzles you tackle.

It all begins with the main character attending the famous music festival in Bremen, where her sister is about to perform. However, everything goes wrong when she is about to enter the city, because it turns out that some kind of evil force wants to stop the festival at any cost. Hence, your mission is to stop this evil and save your sister, as well as make the festival happen.

Most of your time is spent examining every scene for hidden items that are required in order to unlock containers, overcome certain obstacles or just complete various puzzles. However, you can also watch a few cutscenes and tackle a variety of riddles along the way, which diversifies the experience and helps with the overall atmosphere. Granted, the puzzles are not particularly tough, but some might require a bit of tinkering in order to find the right solution.

A lot can be said about the graphics as well, especially when it comes to the environments and the artwork used to depict the town and its surroundings. Everything actually looks like it would in a fairytale, so the atmosphere is that much stronger because of this. It also helps that the ambient sound effects are fairly nice, and even the voice acting is decent most of the time.

In the end, Living Legends: Beasts of Bremen is not the most original hidden object adventure game out there, but it’s certainly a gorgeous one when it comes to the artwork. The story is fairly interesting as well.
