story
15 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe game's story is a mixed bag, with some players finding it an entertaining retelling of the classic Aladdin tale, while others criticize its poor translation and simplistic execution. Although it offers unique twists and engaging elements, the narrative is often overshadowed by its cash grab nature and lack of depth. Overall, it serves as a slightly interactive experience that moves the story forward through hidden object puzzles, but it may not satisfy those seeking a rich storytelling experience.
“The insane storytelling and world-building is in every single way astonishing.”
“Engaging hidden object adventure game with unique alterations to the Aladdin tale that make an old story new.”
“The rest of the story is an interesting new take on the story with some unexpected twists that make for an interesting retelling.”
“It's a cash grab from greedy mobile devs. The game is a simple Aladdin-themed hidden object puzzle game with a lame, badly translated French adaptation of the story tacked onto the front.”
“It's more like a slightly interactive story in which you need to find items to move the story forward.”
“Like many Western tellings, it ignores the original story taking place in China and instead sets it in a fictional non-specific Arab land.”
