A beautiful adventure-puzzler that doesn't need combat or flashy gimmicks to enhance its slow-burn appeal. Date: October 31, 2012

Games like Shardlands will sometimes get overlooked in the App Store, more challenging and focused than the average physics puzzler or endless runner releasing on a weekly basis. But it’s definitely not a game to be missed for serious puzzle fans, a game that balances gameplay and atmosphere to create a wholly enjoyable gaming experience. Date: November 01, 2012

Now the slow pace is going to put some gamers off, and the linearity of the levels combined with having to collect all the orbs to finish things off are legitimate criticisms, but for those looking for a slower, atmospheric experience with just the right dash of puzzle flavor, this gets a hearty recommendation.

Shardlands is a game with amazing 3D visuals – a soothing soundtrack – and responsive and simple to use controls, and playing the game can actually produce a very calming effect (or at least it can when it’s not being mean). However, the amount of time it can take the solve some of the sliding tile puzzles in a stage – and then sometimes resolve them because the camera either crashed or the monster guarding the checkpoint caught you – means the game does not fit nicely into the short gameplay burst concept that is important to many iOS gamers. That said do not let me make you think I am saying that I think Shardlands is horrible, but I do think the average amount of time needed to finish some of the longer levels – coupled with the tricks employed to regularly prevent players from saving their progress – would have been a more natural fit on a more dedicated gaming system.

Aside from the quibbles about tap detection I’ve been having a good time with Shardlands. The puzzles are varied in both variety and difficulty and simply exploring each level can be its own reward. Anyone searching for a collection of brainteasers that are a bit different from the norm should consider giving this one a look. Date: October 31, 2012

I’m not saying that Shardlands is boring; it’s just that it’s a subtle engagement and I don’t think it will appeal to everyone. If only the gameplay were as engaging as the graphics were beautiful. As it is, Shardlands is one of those games that you’ll have some fun experiencing, but that you probably won’t remember six months from now. Date: November 18, 2012
