Product Description
There is an ancient secret so powerful, it was buried deep beneath a maze of puzzles and pitfalls to prevent anyone from ever laying a hand on it. Then one man discovered the ancient book of legend, Pahelika. It was used to defeat an evil warrior-king, and in order to protect its secrets, it was hidden and guarded in an ancient temple. Find out if the incredible legends are true…… Click Here For More Info >>
I just finished Pahelika and enjoyed it very much.
This is a game of having to find objects, at times having to combine them and of course having to use them. Add to that puzzles that range from easy to more challenging and you have a fun game that will keep you entertained for a number of hours.
I don’t usually enjoy puzzle games too much because I tend to get frustrated if I can’t solve a puzzle within a reasonable amount of time but the Pahelika puzzles had just the right complexity for me – starting out easy and getting more complex as the game progressed. One exception was the Teleporter Room which I only solved by accident and that was after downloading the free walk-through from the Ironcode website. But I’m sure that this was just me
The variety of puzzles was also great – memory puzzles, slider challenges, questions, sequential puzzles and much more. While the challenges usually get solved in the room one is in, at times the game offers the possibility to go back to a room or two in order to complete something or get something from there, thus adding interest to the game.
The one thing I didn’t enjoy too, too much was the sound effects. If one gets stuck in a room for a while attempting to solve a puzzle, the sounds get old quickly, regardless of how low the volume is set. So I found myself muting my volume a lot.
But that’s a small thing, and for the price this game is offered here at Amazon, it is a no-brainer. Get it!

I like games that involve lots of puzzles. Pahelika has many different types of puzzles to solve to move forward and the puzzles vary in difficulty from pretty straightforward to those that really require some thinking. The game does a good job of starting off with clues and tips to get you going but pretty soon you know what to look for and the puzzles become more difficult. There is a downloadable “strategy guide” but I didn’t need to use it. My only complaint is that there are a couple of puzzles where you have to use “brute force” trial and error to solve the problem. In those situations you just need to use a systematic approach so that you don’t spend your life repeating sequences you’ve already tried. Graphics a good and I got about 14 hours of enjoyable play out of the game before finishing it which, in my opinion, is worth the cost of the game.

Might be a bit easy for some, lovely graphics though. There was a lot of variation at each location so it didn’t seem to be repetitive during the free trial.
I do suggest trying it first as it was a bit too easy for me.

This was a pretty fun game, imaginative and nice visually. Part of it was an interesting challenge, part was just inane.
The most irritating thing about this game is that it doesn’t tell you what the objects are. You click on something, it comes into your possession, and you have no idea what it is so you can’t figure out what to do with it. I had a pile of round objects I figured were either grapes or cannonballs, but they were coal. Some pronged thingy turned out to start the fire. At some points I ended up clicking on absolutely anything because I had no idea where my cache of poorly rendered miscellaneous shapes went – it takes some of the puzzle-solving fun out of the game.
For the parts that *were* possible to solve, the game would often throw aggressive hints at you, taking any fun out of solving. There’s a part where you have to figure out what combination of 6 buttons to press, and after 2 wrong guesses it starts hammering you with hints. I ended up squinting so I couldn’t see the hints so that I could preserve the challenge.
Some of the puzzles were good, but after a while they just gave up and started giving you repeats of previous puzzles. Also, most of the puzzles weren’t very imaginative – just digital versions of what I used to play at my grandparents’ house. Want to get past the big threatening robot? Then solve this jigsaw puzzle of an adorable puppy! I swear they hired my grandpa as a consultant.
It’s worth a play, unless you really want a challenge – in that case I would go elsewhere.

You the player-adventurer are off to find a magical book, Pahelika, which has been hidden for centuries and which has the power to right the wrongs of the world. Your quest takes you into many strange and wonderful environments and the graphics in this game are very good indeed. You must find hidden objects, combine them to perform a function, and these combinations are often quirky and not particularly logical and solving the challenges of each scene so you can move on is in no way a pushover. The mini-puzzles you encounter along the way are the usual sliders, jigsaws, memory games, etc but they are pleasant.
Pahelika is fun. It has just the right combination of easiness and hardness to keep you going and interested without becoming a basket case in sheer frustration- or bored. Perhaps it is a game for the dilettante, rather than the deadly serious game player, and if you are a casual gamer who likes to smell the roses along the way, Pahelika is your cup of tea!
