Another dwarf shows up but beyond being a smith I’d be lying if I said I remembered anything about him. Sadly she doesn’t have as many memorable character surrounding her this time. Makes for compelling story writing, in my opinion. It’d make for compelling duality to her character: back home in her own world she’s… well, a mother and normal and a bit boring but in this world she’s a warrior of legends. If she in the next game put on armor and wielded a spear while slaying dragons, I’d not be the least bit surprised. There definitely seems to have been an evolution to Susan’s character as she now seems far more effective as the savior of the day. They’re bad and they should feel bad for the rest of their lives… which isn’t particularly long. I half-heartedly expected you to “save” them in the end but nope, no such lenience in this game. The last game had you destroying magical entities, sure, but these were flesh and blood creatures who, at times, had rather sympathetic backgrounds. Susan herself seems to have developed a bit more killer instinct as the four demon generals are dispatched rather gruesomely. Yes, if you were expecting a sweet little story about a woman saving the world by solving puzzles you might be a bit taken back. One of the first thing we come across is a wounded druid who needs his arm patched up and soon enough you’re wandering through old battlefields, finding skeletons and talking with the undead. Although previous games were as serious in story, the environment and how the plot plays out tells this story more effectively. Unlike the previous games in the series, The Golden Curse gets pretty damn dark and serious very quickly. Maaron, the hermit from The Four Horsemen, shows up, this time as a druid, and soon enough you’re tasked with finding and defeating four bad guys… something familiar about this one. Susan is whisked away to the Lost Lands, this time through a mirror, and she quickly comes face to face with danger, this time in the face of a harpy. But still a very good showing.Īnd we’re immediately in pretty familiar circumstances as The Golden Curse starts up. Dark Overlord was pretty much the same way although considerably less polished and more by the numbers as far as HOPA goes. If you ever read my review of The Four Horsemen, you know I pretty much fell in love with the game from the start. Gorgeous graphics, fabulous music and pretty darn good gameplay from beginning to end, if a bit on the easy side. Together with old and new allies Susan must stop the evil and seal it away once and for all.

An old evil is free in the lands again and if it’s not stopped in time, the Lost Lands could fall victim to one of the fiercest tyrants of all time yet again. This time, however, she enters the Lost Lands willingly when she’s called. The first time she did it to save her son while she didn’t have much of a choice the second time. Two times she’s ventured into the Lost Lands to stop evil from taking over. And trilogies are tricky, fickle things that can turn on you at any given moment. So it was with some trepidation that I finally got a hold of the third Lost Lands (first time I play them in order!) because there’s nothing more crushing than seeing your heroes fall. That’s right, I didn’t dislike a single one of their games and NO other HOPA, no, game studio has managed that. Though widely different in terms of setting and stories told, they all had one thing in common. Though never featured on my blog, I have also played New York Mysteries: Secrets of the Mafia. Next I played Eternal Journey: New Atlantis, one of their earliest games which I followed up with a short review of the first Lost Lands game, Dark Overlord. I first discovered them when I played Lost Lands: The Four Horsemen, one of the first HOPA I ever reviewed on this site, and I was quite happy with the end result. My love for Five-BN Games is in no way a secret. You’d think she’d be better at staying away from it but when you’re a chosen one, what are you to do? Ignore the call to action? NEVER! Despite being called the Lost Lands, Susan has a worrying tendency to stumble upon it at any given time.
