Return to the Arthurian world of chivalrous deeds and treacherous hearts. After defeating his felonious half-brother Morganor, Bradwen, the illegitimate son of the King of the Atrebates, returns home to claim the throne. No sooner does he place the crown upon his head, than he discovers that he has been cursed as generations before him, the result of an ancient crime. Bradwen returns to the lands of Arden and Avalon to discover the tasks necessary to undo the curse and return peace to his people. Help Bradwen face the mighty ogre, the wrath of the fairies, outwit the devil and battle St. George's Dragon to resolve the crimes of the past into a new beginning. [DreamCatcher Interactive]

Electric Playground
If you're a patient gamer who likes carefully exploring pre-rendered adventure game worlds, you'll have fun with The Secret of Merlin.

The setting is interesting, and the storyline logical and fairly involving. More interaction is needed, though, to elevate this average game to a higher level of gaming.

All Game Guide
The story-driven gameplay and puzzles make the game enjoyable, but the linearity is a bit a tedious and the many twists and enormous amount of info to keep track of can lead to confusion, especially if you overlook a vital clue.

Adrenaline Vault
Rather than taking you on a breathlessly exciting escapade into the colorful world of King Arthur's time, you find yourself surrounded by a kind of drudgery which makes you feel like an oppressed serf.

Quandary
What made it less enjoyable was the way you move around the game. If traipsing about is a big part of a game, it needs to be done in as user friendly a way as possible.

Computer Gaming World
Adventure games are written and designed to test one's creativity, but this entrant displays very little of its own. [Dec 2002, p.119]
