Rose Riddle: The Fairy Tale Detective

When it comes to casual games, quests and missions are just ways for the developers to relay the story, which means that players do not have to work very hard in order to complete them. This depends on the genre, however, because sometimes you really have to put some work into the later levels in order to complete them, which is especially true for match-three titles.

Rose Riddle: The Fairy Tale Detective is a colorful time management game in which you play as Rose, a young woman looking for her parents. If you are even a little familiar with the genre, then it shouldn’t take you more than a few minutes to get the hang of things, especially in the gameplay department. Hence, it’s all about collecting resources in order to clear the road to the next objective.

The story is told using in-game objectives and cutscenes as well, but don’t expect anything too riveting. As such, Rose’s travels take her to a fairytale land populated by a variety of famous characters, including Tom Sawyer and a few others. Each one of these characters has a request for Rose, so she must put her detective skills to the test in order to get them what they want.

As mentioned before, it’s not difficult to understand how things work, even if you are a complete beginner. Every level follows the same formula, which means that you have to collect a variety of resources, clear the road ahead, as well as reach certain characters and sometimes rebuild some structures. Even if the mechanics are the same, the objectives are usually disguised as something else, which is a neat touch.

All you need in order to play is a mouse, because there are no keyboard shortcuts or anything of the sort to slow you down. The interface is very clean and helpful as well, while the overall graphics are colorful and pretty detailed. Every map is unique in terms of layout, but many of the objects that decorate them remain the same throughout the adventure.

In the end, Rose Riddle: The Fairy Tale Detective is not that different from all the other titles in the same series, nor is it a deviation from regular time management games. Hence, it’s the perfect game for the fans of the genre in case you are looking for more missions and a new story.
