On top of that, the mystery is largely grounded in history, from both Ezra Wickford's and Marie Antoinette's lives. There's never a moment where you're like, "Aha! Now here's the mystery!" Instead, you just go along exploring the castle and talking to people until all these bits of information and unusual circumstances start threading together into a cohesive whole. Sometimes it's fun to charge headfirst into a mystery knowing what to expect at the start, but I love how the story unfolds in this game so organically. One of the highlights of this game is the excellent pacing. Plot: Such an original and fascinating plot! It starts off, in true Nancy Drew style, with her going on a vacation, which is soon derailed by inclement weather, repeated requests to run hotel errands, and, eventually, the presentation of a mystery involving historical treasures of both the knowledge and gemstone variety. With that caveat out of the way, let's begin. However, I think I have managed to do a decent enough job of that with my other reviews, and I will do my absolute best to critique it as fairly as possible in this review. That being said, the fact that I have always held it in such high esteem and it was one of the very first ND games I ever played back in 2005-I started it and the other first five ND games on Christmas Day in 2005-will make it harder for me to critique objectively. While it is no longer number one in my heart-a spot it held for years, though technically tied with Curse of Blackmoor Manor-it remains in my top ten (and in 2016 was in my top five) list of favorite Nancy Drew games. That being said, I hope you enjoy my review.īefore I begin, I must say that Treasure in the Royal Tower is and always has been one of my absolute favorite games in the ND series and overall.
I have lost access to/forgotten about my previous accounts on here, including my very first one, so I made a new one solely for this purpose. in my spare time during marathons, and this year I thought I would write-and subsequently post-reviews of each game while I go through my 2018 marathon (I'm starting a month early). As I have gotten older, I have found myself ranking the games, characters, music, etc. Over those years, I have probably played each game over twenty times-the older ones probably over fifty-and I do at least one full marathon of all 33 games (i.e., all 32 and SCK Remastered) annually. Allow me to preface this review by saying that I have been playing the ND games for almost thirteen years.
