From the forgotten pages of history, comes Adalia de Volador! Legendary swashbuckler. Dashing adventurer. Hero of the people.

The game is beautiful, the gameplay really fluid and the story interresting but it only has 4 levels. I have got to admit that if you want to 100% it, there is content because there are a lot of hiddens things and the challenges aren't that easy, but if you're looking for an adventure, this game isn't for you.
