About

The mean cruel cold blooded tyrant Ceville ruthlessly rules the beautiful kingdom of Faeryanis. Or rather, he used to rule the beautiful kingdom of Faeryanis, until the brave people revolted against his regime and drove him out of the palace.

The kindhearted queen Gwendolyn did step up to reign over the land with a council of noble and wise advisors.. It seems that this story could end just like any other fairy tale: "And they lived happily ever after..." But no, that's not quite right. Because another evil rises within the land. The treacherous Basilus — counsellor of Gwendolyn and of Ceville before her — plans to take the crown and torture the realm with the help of murderous beasts he has summoned from the planes of eternal darkness.

Ceville is a fun, high-quality PC adventure with the additional advantage of being well-acted, well-localized and hilarious. Fans of the point-and-click shouldn't miss it. The story is unique, the dialog is a riot and the mechanics make the game a worthy heir to the legacy of the old-school point-and-click adventure. Players when done with the game are likely to miss the world of Ceville enough to play it again.

All in all though, Ceville is a light-hearted, easy going adventure that pays homage to the games of old. Hardcore fans of the genre will most likely feel right at home, and the difficulty factor, plus helpful tool tips will mean that even newcomers will find it easy to get into. That being said however, with the current triple A titles focusing on more modernized genres and settings, it’s unlikely that this game will garner a big audience, especially outside of Germany. Still, it’s a good enough game, and there have been worse overall titles, debut or not, to grace our desks.

Нашпиговав милое фэнтези пошлыми реверансами в сторону века коммерции и индустриализации, с его профсоюзами, турагентствами и биржами труда, правдорубы обезличили рожденный в муках (надо полагать) мирок, пошатнули подпорки. Лишь диалоги да горстка забавных колобков удерживают на плаву скачущий туда-сюда сюжетный поплавок. Даже если закрыть глаза на легкость задач и скоротечность Ceville и сощуриться от яркого света утянутых у LucasArts эпизодов, погреть ноги в атмосфере игры будет не так просто.
