The gameplay in Alicia Quatermain 3 is characterized by limited pathways and a need for quick decision-making, but it suffers from a frustrating "guard" mechanic that detracts from the experience by requiring precise timing to avoid task failures. While there are a few new mechanics, including the addition of a dog and some unique elements, the overall gameplay remains repetitive and inconsistent in difficulty, leading to mixed feelings among players about its innovation and challenge.
“Where the gameplay comes in, there are limited pathways that restrict what you can do until you open those pathways up; and you need to quickly work out what to do next and where to set your priorities.”
“It seems like a small addition, but it helps a lot with the gameplay variety.”
“Alicia Quatermain the 3rd features three new, not-yet-seen gameplay elements which put at least a small twist on the tried-and-true time management formula.”
“Alicia 3 takes this great formula and sort of ruins it with a 'guard' mechanic, where you are constantly being nagged to click at just the right time, or else your other workers will fail to achieve their assigned task and you have to re-initiate that task all over again.”
“On its own, Alicia Quatermain 3 is a hectic time manager with an inconsistent difficulty curve and distinct, yet repetitive mechanics.”
“For the most part, The Mystery of the Flaming Gold follows the same mechanics as any other time and resource manager, with only two significant things to spice up the formula.”
