    Hard-core RPG fans will enjoy the game's nonlinear depth and detail. [Nov 2003, p.152]

    Incredibly fun and will provide you with about twenty hours worth of gaming. However, Cima does come to an end and once it’s done, it’s done.

    Not for the impatient, but is worth the purchase for portable RPG fans. [Dec 2003, p.186]

    While CIMA’s concept is indeed very cool and refreshing, interface issues frequently get in the way. When your group gets large, the point-and-click interface can be confusing, and herding the whole lot requires patience.

    So without the best gameplay, CIMA: The Enemy should hold you in for the long run to unravel the great plot and adventure. For those who are more into puzzle solving than fighting, this should have some appeal as well.

    It may lack some of the bigger budget production of its competitors, but at its core is a fun and challenging puzzle-based adventure with a unique take on the genre.

    Cima will have limited appeal if only because the gameplay design is not refined. The game is cumbersome in its execution and not deep enough to warrant such inconveniences.
