G5 Revealed The Magicians Handbook II on iOS Today
San Francisco, California
– October 3, in the year of our Lord 2012 – Return for
another adventure into another world of magic where you are
launched on a quest to rescue fairies from the dread pirate
BlackLore, in a stunning sequel The Magician's Handbook II:
BlackLore, from G5 and BC Soft Games, today released on iOS. The
Magician's Handbook II: BlackLore has spent about two weeks in
top 10 of all significant casual game charts and received
accolades for its challenging and long-lasting gameplay when
released on PC. Now iOS users can take this adventure for a
spin.
Two years have passed since your trip to the Cursed Valley. The
pages of the Magician's Handbook remain blank and life has
resumed its natural course, until the day a tiny fairy appeared
in your house, pleading for help. The evil magician pirate,
BlackLore, has captured all the magicians and fairies and will
use their magic for evil, if you don't help. You have until the
next moonrise to free the captured fairies hidden throughout the
land. Otherwise, BlackLore will come for you. Should he capture
you, the fairies will be trapped forever. Search gorgeous, hand
drawn locations, learn powerful spells and solve witty puzzles,
free your friends and stop BlackLore in this immersive
adventure.
Because you don't have magic powers, you must collect enchanted
objects to cast spells. Most scenes hide blue, silver and gold
keys for using at Safe Haven where freed fairies go. You can
unearth bonuses including hints, magic wands and the Repel
spell. The spell, also present in the original Magician's
Handbook, turns off any scene animation so you don't get
distracted from your work. Each chapter has interactive scenes
and puzzles. The puzzles are typical to what you find in other
hidden object games but you will learn how the spells play a
role in the game. For instance, an icy scene needs the Fire
spell so you can melt the ice to get what you need. And, you can
skip the puzzles, after a time, should you choose to.
The Magician's Handbook II is twice as challenging, picturesque
and ingenious as the first adventure in the series. Reveal the
pages of fabled Magician's Handbook as you progress through the
game, use the power of fire, wind, healing and petrifying
powers, detect secret items and save the magical world from the
evil. From the Safe Heaven inhabited by cute fairies that you
need to free and the fascinating schoolroom with a secret
entrance to the great Gallery to the Throne Room full of
treasures, embark on an enchanting adventure like never before!
