Mobile game

Plot summary

You sail into Narnia through your mobile phone and explore the world's seas and islands.[2] As King Caspian, Edmund, or Lucy, you'll encounter sea monsters and dragons in epic battles. Loosely based on the movie The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the game also shares some sequences with the original book. The game is set as a journey to Aslan's country and then back to England.

Gameplay

The player is allowed to become one of the film's three main characters: King Caspian, Lucy and Edmund.[3] The gameplay switches from sailing and escaping the Sea Monster to battling the pirates, mercenaries and other enemies on the islands of Dufflepuds, Goldwater and others. The game is filled with dialogues from both the film and the original book and contains prologues to each levels.

Reception

The game, just like its predecessor, was met with average to mixed reviews upon release. Will Wilson, writing for the mobile gaming website Pocket Gamer, gave a 6/10 mixed review, stating that: "the Voyage of the Dawn Treader is a solid movie tie-in that doesn’t desecrate the license and will please fans, but it doesn’t offer up anything to get pulses racing either".[4]
