Robinson Crusoe and the Cursed Pirates Demo

Daniel Defoe’s story about the unfortunate Robinson Crusoe has been revisited countless times by other writers and artists, since it is such a representative book in the genre. The idea is quite simple and straightforward, yet the actual plot evolves unexpectedly as you go along and the characters are memorable enough to be a part of literature for many years from now on..

Robinson Crusoe and the Cursed Pirates is a hidden object game in which you get to explore a fascinating island populated by exotic animals, magic artifacts, and the occasional pirate. By solving puzzles, finding items and trying your hand at voodoo, you must break a curse and help the poor pirates escape the island, while also saving yourself in the process as well.

The main goal throughout the story is to break the curse, using everything at your disposal to do so. Interesting side stories are part of the experience as well, such as the potion you must brew in order to transform a monkey into a parrot, which has you scouring the island for magic objects to mix into the concoction. However, even if spotting hidden objects into complicated images is by far the largest portion of the game, but there plenty of interesting gameplay mechanics to spice it up.

The hidden object sections go as usual, but some of the items need to be unlocked before they are available to click on. In such cases, a mini-game is used to unlock it, which varies from situation to situation. Whether you have to arrange books by color and in descending order by size, or try to solve mazes, the challenges should keep you excited all the time.

Visually, the game deserves a few points for the beautiful artwork used to convey the levels, even of not much of it is animated. The environments are intricate and they make sense most of the time, even if they are populated by all sorts of weird objects. The background music is a bit too repetitive, on the other hand, which might force you to turn it off after a few minutes of gameplay.

Unlike most hidden object games, Robinson Crusoe and the Cursed Pirates manages to maintain interest levels high even during longer sessions, thanks to the diversity of the mini-games and the nice visuals. The story is quite captivating and it evolves nicely over the course of the game.
