A 3D platformed based on the Smurfs licence. In The Smurfs: Dreams we traverse beautiful lands, trying to wake up the Smurfs affected by Gargamel's curse. We also solve puzzles, jump on platforms and fight. The game supports both singleplayer and local coop on a shared screen.
The Smurfs: Dreams is a 3D platformer based on the license of extremely popular comic books, TV series and animated movies. The team behind the development of this project is Ocellus. They have a similar genre game in their portfolio - Marsupilami: Hoobadventure.
The story told in The Smurfs: Dreams focuses on the new plan of the sinister Gargamel. Wanting to finally catch the Smurfs, their archenemy placed a curse on the sarsaparilla bushes, causing his victims to fall into a deep sleep after eating their delicious leaves. We play as one of the Smurfs during the game. Our task is to wake up all the other Smurfs before Gargamel manages to reach the village.
In The Smurfs: Dreams we watch the action from a bird's eye view. The adventure leads us through various dream lands. Although the levels are joyful and colorful, they can turn into nightmares. The individual Smurfs have to cope with that in order to break Gargamel's curse and wake up.
While traversing subsequent locations, we jump on platforms, avoid traps and terrain obstacles, and solve ingenious environmental puzzles. We also have to face opponents, among which powerful bosses are the most dangerous ones.
On the way, we collect magical balls and patterns that allow us to customize the appearance of our Smurf according to individual preferences.
The Smurfs: Dreams game allows us to play alone or in cooperation mode on a shared screen.
The graphic design of The Smurfs: Dreams is maintained in a cartoon style.

Game Ratings for The Smurfs: Dreams Video Game.
XboxEra: 6.5 / 10 by Nick Baker
The Smurfs: Dreams is a solid platformer with a tonne of variety and stuff to do. But I want to be very clear, I don't think this game is for the gamer who actually grew up on the Smurfs. It's for their children, who probably don't even know who the Smurfs are. So take that advice as you will when deciding on whether to take the plunge here or not.
ZTGD: 8 / 10 by Ken McKown
Visually the game looks good. It is very colorful, and the level themes are really well done. The performance is solid, and the music is whimsical and familiar. The isometric perspective can be an issue at times with planning jumps, but it works for the most part. Developer Ocellus has done a really great job at mimicking the best in the business when it comes to just about every facet of the game.

The biggest surprise? I’m actually recommending a game about Smurfs. Whether you love or loathe the IP, there’s no denying The Smurfs – Dreams is a solid 3D platformer. While it borrows heavily from other games, there’s enough originality to make it worth checking out, especially for collectable platforming fans. The co-op mode adds to the appeal, making it a great option for playing with someone else. If you love platformers, I honestly recommend giving this a try, even if you’re not a Smurfs fan. I’m as surprised as anyone to say that! Still not convinced? Check out the free demo on the eShop.
