Long before Shrek and his gang do not scratch the world of fairy tales in film is that video games who was gently mocked. In 1993 a certain Simon the Sorcerer was emerging in this world pixelated. After two episodes of high quality, the third conducted in 2002 and fully 3D, was a disaster that should be quickly forgotten. Simon seemed never to have to recover from this setback and yet the Germans Silver Style has taken up the torch and we now offer this Simon the Sorcerer 4 : Chaos Happens, a fourth episode that is a return to basics. The magical world awaits us.

Simon the Sorcerer 4: Chaos Happens


And now ... Whiplash in the hat!

The thrust of the adventures of the young Simon in the magical world is to laugh more or less kindly of the stencil fairy tales or mythology by proposing, through extravagant situations, much humor and characters out of step with the traditional view that we know. In this new series, while Simon and his brother compete for control of the remote, our hero takes it in the head and sink into unconsciousness. He found himself in a vortex where he met Alix, his girlfriend of the magic world, who asks him to come and help because his world is sliding into chaos. Neither or both, his alarm clock, Simon borrows cabinet travel interdimensionnels and is once again with his now famous red dress and big hat tip, the magical world. Soon he discovered that a double of himself lurking in the Kingdom with malicious intentions. He decides to conduct its investigation to essentially keep its reputation and incidentally save the world.

Then we find ourselves in an adventure game point & click in the third person very traditional. The interface is sober, leaving any space for free visual environments. The inventory is by bringing the mouse pointer on the bottom line, Simon moves depending on where you click, if the current location is quite far from its position. We will also have the ability to control alternating Simon and his double. The pointer changes shape depending on actions performed on various objects and places. Shortcut keys allow quick access to some very useful functions. Thus, as in recent productions of adventure, pressing a button can immediately places interactive sets. A support system is also thought this, which can be accessed with the F1 key. This is entirely at the discretion of the player who decides whether to use them. À savoir que cet épisode propose un journal de quête, comme dans un jeu de rôle, qui récapitule les objectifs que Simon a en cours. To know that this episode offers a search log, as in a role-play, which summarizes the objectives that Simon was in progress. These are very large (a little over fifty throughout the adventure), and below the narrative, there are three stars. Each of them is a further indication on what to do to solve the riddle. A map of the Kingdom used to get from one point to another very quickly, avoiding the pitfall of arduous trips, although these inherent gender, are present. Finally, double-clicking on an exit permits to proceed immediately to the next screen. A game system so efficient and well thought out.

A title far from sordid

This episode makes a return to sources and offers environments for 2D enough, with very colorful, as screens, more or less small entertaining animations. If the overall visual quality is good, it is quite variable from one place to another. A slight lack of consistency not really damaging. Like its predecessors, and unlike many recent adventure games, some places lasting several screens, thus creating real panoramas. The various characters encountered fit perfectly with the scenery and enjoy entertainment quite correct. We can at most a few regrettable delays in the past, but nothing much bad. A good integration reinforced by games of light and shadow dynamic effective. If the sounds are not legions, for against, the musical themes are original, diverse and very friendly. They leave without spoiling the listening experience by playing against, what any striker this achievement truly effective. The actor doubling Simon did not in his character, goes phrases belief without really causing discrepancies with the situations encountered, the expressions of Simon and intonation applied. The other characters fare a little better, especially female voices. And as the title suggests many dialogues that occupy a large part of history, especially at the level of humor, this poses a real problem. It is fortunately possible to cut the voice, a genuine return to its roots if I may say so ...

It does not change a mechanic who was successful and this episode provides throughout its scenario a good dose of parody, ridicule and humor to various degrees (as you can see at the end of our video with this guard all the time repeating the same sentence, and Simon ends by saying that he may have encountered a bug in the game). We also find our batch of atypical characters, directed in situations more or less absurd and foolish. Fans of the series will find pleasure with the characters from this universe, Alix the girlfriend of Simon the Sorcerer Calypso, demons idiots, corrupt guards, the Golden Ring thief, the Troll who guards the bridge, and Swampy and of course its delicious stew swamp. Like Shrek, everything is turned into derision and this time it is mainly the story of Little Red Riding Hood which is being targeted. We do this in the knowledge of a Little Red Riding Hood which is a veritable Ringworm be angry and nasty, the wolf is depressive and alcoholic, the Great Mother who left hooks to live his family and that uses twice as Simon stooge ... Mythology also for his number during the stay to hell and the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice is manhandled. All this comes with a good script that takes good road with good twists and high linearity, although several objectives can be achieved independently of each other. The life is very correct and depends obviously on the logic of each player and how to use its aid system in place.

Conclusion

Silver Style offers a nice adventure, which remains in the minds of the first two episodes of the series. The good overall achievement of all, however, is strongly marred by a French localization of the most painful. An adventure that fully satisfy aficionados of the young wizard who found a new lease of life here, pending his next adventures that send our hero in a futuristic world in which we need help to recover his memory.
