Plot

An evil Queen has seized the Magical Jewels of the Kingdom of Kindness and destroyed the Golden Castle. To restore peace, Aurora, Belle, Cinderella, and Snow White team up to reclaim the Magical Jewels, defeat the Queen's minions and banish her from the kingdom for good. [3]

Reception

Lucas M. Thomas of IGN gave the game a score of 6.5/10, calling it a "title that does a good job of visually presenting its worlds and characters and offering a lot of ground to cover, but gaining its multiple hours of gameplay primarily through repetition of the same core concept, again and again, with little variation along the way".
