If you like airplanes and would like to know more about them, then this is a game to look into. You start out as a entry level mechanic and work your way up the ranks and improving your skills. You start out on a de Havilland Tiger Moth and get to work on the ♥♥♥♥♥ III, four cylinder air cooled engine. The tutorials are basic and teach you what you need to get through the missions, but they don't teach you the fine details of each engine. Make sure you know what a head gasket is and where to find it.

Next, you move on to a Spitfire which has the legendary Rolls Royce Merlin, a twelve cylinder liquid cooled engine. Its a lot more airplane than the Tiger Moth in every way. There are a lot more tasks associated with this aircraft as well. I got tired of reloading the wing mounted machine guns on nearly every mission - so many little doors. The next aircraft is the Mosquito, where it has two Rolls Royce Merlin engines. The learning curve isn't very steep. After that, you work on a Hawker Hurricane. Again, same engine as the Spitfire and the Mosquito.

The most recent update introduced the Bristol Blenheim, which has two Mercury XV, nine cylinder air cooled radial engines. And believe me, you will get to know the insides of this engine more than one might want to. Nearly every mission on this aircraft had one or both engines taken apart almost completely. It was like one engine would have a problem, and the next mission the other had a problem. I started thinking; is the Mercury XV engine garbage? Is the pilot incompetent and doesn't know how to operate the engines properly? Or is it a combination of both?

At any rate, I do find this game entertaining, and have learned some things about all the aircraft as well. One last tip, when you start the game you have a choice of starting your work on the airfield (default) or in the hangar. If you want to stay dry, choose the hangar.

This game is not for the ones who are impatient or want simple puzzles. You need to take your time and explore each area and revisit previous clues. Don't let the robot named "Six" make you leave an area until you feel you've explored a place to your satisfaction. You may need to circle back a find things you didn't see on the first pass.

This game is slower paced and deals with events that happened over hundreds if not thousands of years ago. Keep an open mind and don't take everything at face value. This game will take some time to complete, but it seems worth it.

This game has been on my wish list for some time, and it does not disappoint. If you don't have OCD, you may develop it playing this game. If you like tanks, get this game!! Excellent model details of each tank. The hours will fly by while playing this game.

This game was a little frustrating at first, but when I understood the way each character's individual turn was played out, then it made a lot more sense. If you're playing by yourself - keep your characters close to each other. You don't want to be outnumbered in a fight - you'll get killed easily. Also, don't get attached to your characters too much, because you can't save them for another adventure. Each character is only going to last for the adventure they were created for, whether they survive or not.

If you play in a multi-player adventure, make sure that you find a good mix / balance of character classes, because magic attacks, healing, and party buffs are just as important as up-front fighting. Be sure that you evenly distribute the loot, and that every character has good equipment and weapons for their respective classes. This game will provide hours of fun, especially in multi-player mode.

This game will test your ability to save and spend gold wisely, because there is a lot that can keep you busy if you don't pay attention to what's happening in the world of Faruhl. There are side quests that can help you out. Also, there are other adversaries and bosses that can test and hinder you before you get to the main boss battle.

This game is definitely recommended.
