The idea behind The Smurfs Dreams is that Gargamel, the evil wizard, is trying to seize the Smurfs by magically locking them into a deep sleep so he could create a magic elixir. Gargamel places a spell on leaves the Smurfs are getting ready for a dinner together with his cat Azral. Most of the town sleeps magically deep once Chef Smurf serves the leaves to the people. Entering the dreams of the cursed Smurfs through a large pillow that has evolved into a gateway is the only way Papa Smurf says one can save them.
Magical orbs have to be gathered from far within these dream realms if the Smurfs are to wake up and save the village. Players return to Smurf Village in between each level to witness the city getting more vibrant and the slumbering people gradually waking up. This timeless story matches The Smurfs as a whole and sounds like the antics of any of their television episodes.
Designed for solitary play or in a co-op mode with two players controlling separate Smurfs on one screen, The Smurfs Dreams is a 3D platformer adventure. A quick game demo covering two levels and lasting somewhat more than an hour was offered for this Preview. I really wondered at one point whether I had gotten a final game rather than a pre-release trial still months from full launch; the amazing polish of this sample and even the graphic options and controller settings given were of such high quality.
Though they conceal shockingly mind-boggling mysteries, including the levels of dark nightmares filled with evil, every planet in The Smurfs Dreams is joyful. Every level features more than just creatures, mysteries, puzzles, surprises. If the entire game is as skillfully built as demonstrated in the demo, this game feels as though it could be held to the standards of Super Mario games and really demonstrates how fantastic 3d Platforming can be.
Along with secrets buried in the Smurf Village, which forms the central focus for the game, The Smurfs Dreams boasts four dream worlds with 12 levels and 16 mini-levels. Every one of these dream realms has a different, mystical sensation full of creative concepts and deft puzzle mechanisms. Apart from arousing sentimental memories of The Smurfs cartoons, the vibrant artistic style offers a dream-like effect in every environment.
Though not the main characters, all the long-time favorites—including Smurfette and Papa Smurf—are seen in The Smurfs: Dreams. Actually, players assume the role of an average Smurf who gets to perform incredible deeds to preserve the village. Though the game is claimed to feature several costumes and patterns to acquire to personalize the Smurf hero, the demo lacked customizing ability to go beyond choosing a male or female character. Collecting boss tokens will open additional clothes and "various surprises" to help gamers create their ideal Smurf.
I was left yearning more as the game's demo finished. Not because of anything lacking in the game, but rather for the reverse reason. The game ran so smoothly and the levels were so precisely created that it felt as though the remainder of the game ought to be included. Seeing what the rest of the game offers this October excites me; play through the whole voyage with my not-so-ordinary Smurf. Particularly with the next film scheduled for a few months later, The Smurfs Dreams could be the ideal approach to remind audiences of what makes the franchise so unique.
