Disney Princess Majestic Quest ~ RIEview

 

Ah, Disney. I remember growing up with Disney movies, be it the princesses or the Pixar movies. I will say that I prefer the movies released in the 1990s and early 2000s, before Disney decided to take the 3D-fying route with its animation. A real shame, but understandable all the same. Anyway! I came across this game in the Play Store and decided to give it a go, so read on for the full review!

Game Plot

A magic storm mysteriously appears and strikes the Disney realms. The aftermath is disastrous, and the princesses require your help in repairing their kingdoms. There are also questions on the origin of the magic storm that remains to be answered – who is behind the storm, and why?

Verdict (4/5)

The initial stage mainly deals with the aftermaths, and yet to touch on the origins of the storm. Currently the main issue is the lack of new updates, which hopefully Disney will get around correcting it soon!

Character Diversity & Personality

There are 4 main realms: Mulan’s, Jasmine’s, Belle’s, and Ariel’s. I should note that there are only minimal conversations for one to discern the character’s personality, so not much can be told about the personalities.

Verdict (3/5)

Not much to expect here, as the game caters to players who are well-versed with the Disney stories the characters are from. The dialogues can come off as quite generic, which is quite sad considering how colorful the characters are in their own movies.

Game & CG Art 

Disney has elected to take the 3D route with the character designs in the movies, and that is the case for this game as well. For characters that were formerly 2D, it does take some time to get used to the 3D-fied appearance.

Verdict (4/5)

Just personal preference, but I would choose the former 2D art style over the current 3D art style. It just doesn't sit right with me, especially when looking at formerly 2D characters now transformed into 3D. 

Game Mechanics

Disney Princess Majestic Quest is a match-3 game, similar to Candy Crush and Color Pieceout. In fact, it has the same gameplay as Color Pieceout; by successfully clearing a level, you will get a star and coins. The star is useful in completing requests, while coins can help in buying more moves or skipping a level. You can choose the type of decoration once you fulfilled the star criteria, but you can change your choice of decorations later on.

Verdict (4/5)

Some levels are easier than others, but everything boils down to the placement of the tiles when the level starts. I recommend taking it casually with the levels, as some levels can be frustrating and take multiple tries (without using boosters) to finally clear a level.

In-Game Events 

There are 2 types of events: Royal Treasure requires players to pass a certain number of levels to obtain a chest, while Free Flight requests players to form a type of power-ups in the levels. The Free Flight-type events pit players against each other to see who forms the most of the power-ups in the period of the event.

Verdict (4/5)

Pretty good variety of events, just wish there were story-related events to spice things up in the game.

That wraps up the review for Disney Princess Majestic Quest. Honestly I had high hopes for the game, as I had expected more from Disney. I expected more in terms of storyline, and also looked forward to some cross-over interaction between the princesses since the storm hit. Hopefully there will be more content coming soon on other princesses!
