There are two ways to play casual and hardcore. Whichever you choose will determine the amount of hints that the game will give you in order to help you solve the puzzles. Other than that there is little difference between the two modes.

The entire art style is a hand-drawn look and feel with thin lines, unlike many recent games which went with the recently popular thick line, more cartoon-like look. Still I quite like it. Theres something unique about its look that I can’t put my finger on. It’s interesting, the environments are nicely detailed as are the characters.

The sound could have used some work. Not the ambient sounds, those are all well done. But there’s zero voice work in the game. I spoke with the developer and I’ve been told that, at present, there are none, but if a big publisher comes on board they hope that voices will be part of the deal. Here’s hoping because I think it would be great with voices. I would even lend my voice acting talent to the cause...for dirt cheap!

This is another really entertaining and sometimes challenging point-and-click adventure. The genre on a whole seems to be making a major comeback this year after what seemed like years with only one or two good titles. Kaptain Brawe serves up hours of adventure game fun with stereotypical characters and situations, which we have come to expect from so many point-and-click games. This game is well worth the time and effort and could point to continued success for Cateia Games.
