What was the worst bit about the game?

Lesha: It bugged me a bit that I had to do loads of reading and it was tricky sometimes.

How much fun was this game?

Lesha: Quite fun

Parents Comments: Lesha enjoyed Opoona but got stuck sometimes due to not following the mission instructions properly. It wasn’t what I expected, it’s not like most other kids games you can buy lately, it seems to require more thinking, which is a good thing of course.

Opoona could be an ideal introduction to RPG games. It's extremely cutesy and adorable and probably a bit too sickly sweet for any one older than primary school age. The gameplay is simple and some of the visuals are absolutely beautiful. The side missions can get a bit boring though and with no narration at all in the game it may cause kids to lose interest in what is otherwise an enjoyable experience.
