Steampunk Game Review: "Azada: In Libro"

It is one of the great travesties of the world that Steampunk themed games are few and far between (and it's hard to find the good ones).  So we at the Lonely Alchemist are committed to testing and reviewing every Steampunk-ish MMORPG and casual game we can find, just for you!

Today we review a fabulous casual game by the name of "Azada: In Libro."  Another beautiful and fun-to-play creation from ERS Game Studios, this is a sequel to the other Azada games but, at least in our opinion, it is more worth the price than the others.

The game begins in an industrialized Edwardian Europe where you, the player, are informed that a distant relative in Prague has left you an inheritance.  After traveling there, you are cast into an enchanted world from which you cannot escape until you defeat the evil magician who wishes to destroy the magical world and then your own.

A new month, a new background

With each new month, I give "The Lonely Alchemist" blog a shiny new background. January's background (with matching header) is "Bohemian" from the fabulous ItkuPilli. I adore all of ItkuPilli's backgrounds and use them exclusively. The digital collages are quaint, fantastic, fairy-like, ghostly, creepy, sexy, spectral, etc... I simply can't say enough good things about these blog backgrounds. If you are a blogger looking for a fresh look for your blog, check them out!

Along with a brand spanking new background, we at "The Lonely Alchemist" blog have a few new resolutions as well. Here they are:

~ post at least 4 times a week

~ post about sustainable or consumer-friendly issues at least 3 times a month

~ blog about every good Steampunk artist we come across

~ review as many Steampunk movies as possible

~ go to a Jane Austen Society of America convention and blog about it

~ go to either an Abney Park or Beats Antique concert (ohhhhh yeah!)

~ make at least 5 posts in foreign languages, just for the heck of it


So now you know a bit of what the next year should look like. If there is anything else you think we should absolutely do in 2012, leave a comment so we can put it on our calenders. And if we fail a little in our resolutions, please do forgive us! Keep your eyes pealed for... for... a lot of awesomeness! Happy New Year!

Ciao!
