Joan Jade And The Gates Of Xibalba

An incredible journey, risk and intrigue await you, as Alawar Entertainment, one of the world’s leading developers of casual games, has presented Joan Jade and the Gates of Xibalba.

Without revealing much of the story, you are to help Joan Jade on quest for her stolen children. As the game follows hidden object traditions, get ready to collect tons of different items, solve mind-bending puzzles and beat one mini-game after another. Though the title is all-new the gameplay is common and fairly simple. However, we cannot deny that a great work went into making Joan Jade and the Gates of Xibalba. The storyline, graphics, music, sound effects are well done and place the issue in a good light. In spite of 2D graphics most of the backgrounds are seductive, looking rather neat.

Besides different lush locations there are plenty of odd-ball puzzles or ingenious mini-games, including challenges that test your memory, critical thinking and cognitive skills. It is worth to mention that the majority of tasks are clear but “hint” button is not out of place here. It is rather useful especially when you have problem to find one or another object or need help to complete the task. Anyway you won’t be disappointed, if you play this issue as it has a lot of intriguing situations and various challenges throughout the adventure. 

In fact Joan Jade and the Gates of Xibalba game doesn’t set out to reinvent the wheel, but it doesn’t have to. The title offers you to get a good experience in hidden object scenes. Why not try it?
