Game Review (written by K-aziel) Added on: 05/16/2009
Quest for the Time Bird is an interesting, pretty good adventure, best reserved for a rainy day when you have nothing better to play.
The graphics are the shining star of this game; they are lovely, uniquely drawn and consistently beautiful. They're also imaginatively represented, with 'boxes' featuring graphical scenes sometimes appearing on a screen, something you don't see in games very often. The scenes are unfortunately also subject to the minutest of pixel-hunting, and some items you'll need to use aren't even shown on the screen, they are instead hidden within ridiculous.

The sound is also quite well done. It features appropriate, effective sound effects and each kingdom that you travel to (by way of a unique map), has its own (pretty, but repetitive) background track. I believe there are seven kingdoms in all, so seven different tracks, and I might be wrong but I think there are a couple of other pleasant tracks also.
The plot is a little thin, not surprising since the graphic novel it is based on enjoys popular notoriety simply because of its heavily endowed female protagonist. The game stars Bragon, a retired, burly hero wanting to set forth and sharpen his battle axe on some hard, kingdom-terrorizing villains head. He is approached by Mara, daughter of a witch, who gives

him some spiel about extreme danger, kingdom conspiracies and a hopeless quest. No hero worth his salt can turn a blind eye to that kind of enticing story and so Bragon sets forth to, well, do what a hero does. Save the land.
The game's puzzles run on the one third luck, one third logic and one third persistence sides, something you probably worked out when I mentioned the food-in-breasts 'puzzle' earlier. For the most part the puzzles are reasonable, if you can locate the item, and if you can find the suitable inventory item you won't find any brilliantly intelligent puzzles that need to be solved, which may or may not be a disappointment depending on which side of the adventure game fence you lean toward.
The game itself isn't a 'pure' adventure, you have multiple characters in your party and each can perform different actions, such as talk, kill, eat and charm. To modern-day adventurers, this may serve as a delightful bit of uniqueness, though the system is a bit shallow.
All in all, Quest for the Time Bird is a relatively enjoyable, time-waster of an adventure game.
