Myths of the World: The Heart of Desolation Collector’s Edition
Eipix continues its ground-breaking Myths of the World series with a heart-pounding, fire-breathing adventure!
It was just supposed to be a routine mission. Fly in, drop supplies, and fly out. But when a dragon attacks your plane, crash-landing in a lush valley, you’re drawn into the adventure of a lifetime! This ancient valley is filled with living, breathing dragons – guardians of nature who protect the weak. But when one of their own becomes possessed by their ultimate foe, it’s up to you to restore order. Can you defeat the Dragon King’s mighty terracotta army, or will the world be destroyed once more, just like it was centuries ago?
This is a special Collector’s Edition release full of exclusive extras you won’t find in the standard version. The Collector’s Edition includes:
Collectibles, achievements, and more extras

Face a new enemy in the bonus chapter
This is a Hidden Object Puzzle Adventure game, meaning a specific genre of story-driven, point & click adventures. Throughout the game, players are tasked to find a list of objects hidden within a particular scene, and to occasionally complete various mini-games/puzzles.

Enjoyable HOPA game with lots to do and lovely art. Other than the lack of Steam cards/achievements, this one has most of what I look for in one of these games. The story is very basic - save the land from the powerful Dragon King - but the mythology is nice.
Pros:
- wide variety of puzzles, some challenging
- HO scenes that include word lists, outlines, and even riddles
- lovely art
- beautiful setting
- accents in voice acting generally very consistent
- extras menu lets you replay scenes and HO puzzles to locate collectables and get missed (in-game) achievements
- the right amount of "looking around" (backtracking), supported by a fully interactive map
Cons:
- linear story (complete tasks as directed to defeat Dragon King)
- very 2D protagonist and characters (but the dragons are so well drawn I didn't mind XD
Overall: a very nice addition to this series of HOPA games; keeps up the high standards of previous entries; I'd wait for a sale, but if you enjoy the HOPA genre, this one is good

Excellent game. Addictive story with good actors. Beautiful scenes and music. Each chapter has a varied HOG and frequent puzzles varying from complete in a minute to real brain teasers. I particularly like the fact that if you miss a collectable you can go the extras menu and catch it there. Bonus game equally good. I got 7 hours play from the first game. Recommend

Such a beautiful game! I haven't even finished it yet but oh, what a joy! Colourful, clever and totally absorbing, this is one game I don't want to come to an end! Puzzles aplenty, the HOG scenes are intriguing, and the overall feel of the game is relaxing and entertaining. I am so glad I bought this game!
