Dark Dimensions: Blade Master Collector's Edition

Villains are usually portrayed as either insane or disarmingly charming, depending on what kind of story the author is trying to tell. However, most of them do not seem to follow anything logical when it comes to the outcome of their deeds, since it’s difficult to understand how would one benefit from the fact that the whole world is in shambles.

Dark Dimensions: Blade Master is a classic hidden object adventure game in which you have to solve puzzles, uncover secret items and use them to unlock the way further. The adventure features everything from magic to murder, so it should be quite the fun ride if you are a fan of mysteries. On the other hand, there’s nothing new or original about the game when it comes to gameplay mechanics.

The story starts with a young couple buying tickets to a fancy restaurant that also features a magic performer as entertainment for the night. However, it turns out that the performer in question is actually a bad guy, which is immediately made clear when he starts throwing magic knives at his assistant and some of the spectators. Naturally, it is your job to stop him and find the source of his powers.

When it comes to the puzzles you have to solve, they all feature relatively similar mechanics, which means that you either have to find a pattern, or just move things around until something clicks. It can get repetitive after a while, but at least you have the option to skip them entirely if you play on the lowest difficulty level. As for the hidden object scenes, they can be pretty challenging, but only sometimes.

Thankfully, the world design and the general graphics quality is top notch, especially since everything is drawn by hand. Hence, each scene is oozing with detail, thus making the experience a real treat. On the other hand, you have to forget about animations or three-dimensional objects, not to mention the fact that the cutscenes look pretty ridiculous in most cases.

In the end, Dark Dimensions: Blade Master is not very different from every other hidden object adventure game out there, except for the story. Hence, if you want the same kind of puzzles and riddles in a new setting, this could certainly keep you busy for a while.
