Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bonetown in the Test
Modern pirates, Yes that’s possible? Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bonetown trying to find a balance between traditional pirate history and modern Adventure! In the case of large models, such as Guybrush and LeChuck, it is the young Willy have to say-not easily compared to their Fans.
Pirates and Adventures have always been a successful and popular combination. So it’s no wonder that developers imaginarylab this success supports the formula. Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bonetown is presented from the beginning, with its youthful protagonists and the Tutorial, in which he the parts of his Bicycle and together build needs, rather on a young target group addressed. Willy is a smart and good Boy that is in search of the truth about the Disappearance of his father, completely alone… in a place full of pirates. However, these are more inclined to amusing, really dangerous.
Ten years have passed since Willy’s father, the famous archaeologist Henry Morgan – work during research vanished without a trace. Meanwhile, Willy and his mother, all hope abandoned… to the day to the ten-year anniversary of the disappearance, a letter arrives. The author, Willy’s father is! In this, he warns his son, and asks him to come at the same time to Bonetown, his investigations continue. Reason enough for the Teenager to hop on his bike and go to the backgrounds of the mysterious incident, now finally on the ground. On to Bonetown, the infamous pirate city.
So colorful, So colorful, it is so colorful.
To match the cartoonish graphics, which will be presented in high definition 3D. After you get used to the somewhat fish-like view, with rounded corners, white, this like to. The control of Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bonetown is simple and mostly intuitive. Right-click observed an object, left-click or interact with it. The inventory can be opened with the mouse wheel and is traditionally located at the bottom of the screen. The space did offers the comfort and function, all of the usable objects in view. Even a card is not present, however, this is a separate object in the inventory and must be activated every Time an extra of it. Here’s a Shortcut would have been to function. The screen change can be accelerated with a double-click, so you do not have to wait each Time until Willy is gewatschelt to the other end.
Nightingale, I hear your patter.. or not.
So, while the graphics and User Interface to perform dutifully their work, about the language issue, unfortunately, is not quite as good. Especially in the case of the various inhabitants Bonetowns there are always again which, in the case where the microphone was held too far away. As a result, the pirates mumble incomprehensible and you have to rely on the on-screen Text. Willy is, however, not always easy to understand on-the-go. Also the music is performing more or less atmospherically in the Background and changes according to the Location. While there is no new Monkey Island zu is rounded, it is a good presentation of consistent from. A German translation is available, a voice output is missing, but, given the small development team, however, understandable.
Really funny?
How is the content of the Story and the Gags and / or their density? Traps are the puzzles really hard to crack nuts, or just a Haze? Because the developers listen to Lucas Arts classics, this is the expectation a bit higher. The answer to that is, however, divided into two parts. While the puzzles be pleasantly logical, but it is mostly traditional Search – and combination tasks. More sophisticated expert may be some calls. There are (up to at least a misfire that cost me a lot of nerves) hardly annoying “I try now just blindly each object, each object”phases.
While Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bonetown in terms of puzzles so quite like white, the game is in Story and Gags back a little on the lightweight side of the road. Suitable to the initially addressed the young audience, reminding the history, but rather to a teen novel, and also the Gags are harmless and hurt no one. A Hamster in the microwave, it will not give in to Bonetown, is not allowed to Willy use according to the mother this yet. But there is a mention of doctor Fred (at least in the Achievements). Speaking of Achievements, of which there are so few, and these include also zealous Investigations. Also those players will be rewarded for staying with the “unimportant” objects. And of which there are so few in the game. Allusions to fictional and real pirates are not only in the case of Willy’s father, “Henry Morgan,” but for most residents of the city, these are but the descendants of captain Kidd’s Crew. The secret to the treasure you have to solve quite traditionally by means of a scavenger hunt for the treasure map. Also, various allusions are hidden in the game. Among other things, some of Marvel’s Avengers in the pirate town and a look at the various Portraits in the game reveals were also a couple of amusing trifles.
CONCLUSION
As a self-professed game for Fans of LucasArts Adventures has Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bonetown is a pretty high goal to set. Even if it is not on a Level with Day of the Tentacle or Monkey Island is, come Out is definitely a nice little Adventure (duration of the game searching for deposits in about 5 hours), which also – but not only – for children it is recommended. If imaginarylab the beginning of difficulties in the technical area, especially the language issue, fix can, can ravenous Adventure Fans on the search for the Curse of Bonetown do.
