Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Just started this so cant give too much of a feedback yet…but so far its the best hidden object game Ive played in a long time. Hoping the entire game continues this well.
We really enjoyed this game. No glitches. Good story. Has zoom feature. Good voice acting. Great graphics. Also at the end of the game we were able to go back and find the treasure chests and souvenirs we missed in the extras section. We also found that there were 3 match 3 games in the extras section that we could play to acquire more gold for buying statues.
We really enjoyed this one- story is interesting, good mystery with no supernatural mumbo-jumbo unless you count the voodoo lady, and another character in the bonus chapter. Loved the historical setting- Spanish Colonial period in the Caribbean, we're guessing. Enjoyed the HO puzzles, which are presented in a refreshingly different way, but they also give you the option to play a match-3 game instead if you absolutely hate HO puzzles. Even enjoyed the background music. Sorry to see The culprit end up in jail, though…found ourselves rooting for him.
If you liked the others in this series you will like this one too. The story line is a bit juvenile, but the puzzle aspects and collectibles make up for the fairy tale back drop.
Loved it and want the third one ASAP! Thought about a 4 star as we had no audio for the bonus game, but still enjoyed it very much.
We love Nemesis, five star game! It's very much a challenge yet fun, just like all other Big Fish Games!!!!!!!!!! We love Big Fish Games, they make us think, and they are soooooooo much fun.
Interesting. Keeps your attention.
Had fun with this one. Lucky we did not experience any glitches. Look forward to a sequel.
This game just kept going even when you thought you were done. . It had the treasure chest game the morphing objects. So much to play. Chuck full of game play. Graphics puzzles all great. Well done BF.
A good game good voice overs map and guide. Your collecting treasure chests in this one. Another good one lots of adventure. No RATS OR MICE so far and we're pretty far along. A big shout out and lol and prayers for all.Snooper-158.
Interactive transporting map, labeled inventory, decent mini games, varying HO scenes with match 3 option. Plot is full of twists and turns. No rats, lots of suprises in the plot line. Nice change of pace.
Great game. We finished and have watched the lengthy credits three times and we can not get to the bonus game and other features. So for that, we are only giving 4 stars.
We can't access the bonus game. We've played the main game but every time we try clicking on the bonus game it tells us we have to complete the main game first. When we click back on the main game it takes us too the end credits. We've tried letting the credits play completely until it was finished but it just plays on a loop. We don't know what to do it's very frustrating! Please fix this asap.
We thought the graphics were pretty, the puzzles were challenging enough to be fun and the story interesting. We didn't experience any of the glitches that others talked about so it was overall a fun game.
This was a very fun and strong game with nice puzzles and plot. Also, it was cheap. But two problems. One, in many instances if you didn't drag the item to the exact spot it didn't recognize the piece. Meaning often you were sure a piece was correct, but since it wouldn't work you wasted much time. Second it seems like a lot of missing steps that you don't have to complete and you can't go back too finish things once you complete certain sections.
We just want to welcome KimMeadow to the Dream Team Elite! She is an outstanding reviewer, one of the most thorough that we have ever seen and we LOVE her! So everyone please extend your warmest wishes to this lovely person. Also, thank you for looking out for RATS, which is our number one FEAR ( our only fear!) Snooper is petrified of snakes! We look out for each other, don't we, Dracyy? Thanx for updating us on the NO RATS situation! Anyway, this was a fantastic game, but it's EIPIX, so it's expected. The graphics were good, the cut-scenes decent, and loading was instantaneous between locations. The story was easy to follow and the gameplay was smooth. There was no journal, but objectives were updated regularly. You had a teleport map with marked tasks and objectives. Inventory was labeled, and there were plus items, always a favorite of ours. You got to use a fingerprint kit to unearth hidden clues. The HO scenes were varied, from lists to silhouettes to using one object to unlock another, etc. If you didn't want to play the HOS, you could play match-3 instead. There were puzzles embedded in the scenes too. We enjoyed the mini-games and puzzles; there was a nice variety. The only collectibles were treasure chests, which you earn coins for each one and get to decorate a room. There was a lot to do in this game, from concocting potions to assembling objects, to escaping from places. There were lots of extras, such as wallpapers, souvenir room, treasure chest hunt, which unlocked a bank vault, where you have a surprise to look forward to. The only reason we deducted a star was that we wish it had been longer, even with bonus adventure. Also the tap sensitivity was a bit off. But it really was not a glitchy game by any means! EIPIX knows what we like and they very rarely disappoint! This game was definitely worth playing! We send to the Dream Team Elite and all the other gamers out there who love us.
The plot and setting was original and we're happy there wasn't much in the way of the typical demonic stuff (the voodoo lady wasn't a big part of the story). Unfortunately, Eipix frequently relies on their old typical stand-by–many crazy containers with bizarre locks that require specific shapes to open them. Find shape, insert, repeat. This can get tiresome. Luckily, this game had other interesting factors that propelled the story and made us want to finish it. Also, the voice over narration was helpful in explaining what seemed to be a bit of a complex plot, which tends to happen when there are multiple characters…also, if you put down the game and go back to it later, it's easy to forget what's going on. Even though we much prefer the Awakening and Drawn approach, (where the player builds things and mixes stuff and creates new items in fun ways), this was entertaining nonetheless. Thanks for the good game.
So so, but as time went on we were getting kinda tired of it, but it did have a lot of extras.
It could have been 5 stars if: the graphics were better, and there weren't so many shadow HOS. At least they gave you the option to play Match 3 in most of them. We liked the treasure chests you had to find, which would have been a little easier with better graphics.
This is a good game. Nice puzzles,and graphics. Fairly easy, haven't been stuck yet. We like it.
We liked this installment better than "Mutany of the Heart". We found the story to be more interesting with some unique twists on gameplay. The atmosphere has a sort of Spanish, or Caribbean flair. You are Seorita Adams, who has quite a reputation as a well known detective; and you are asked by the local Governor to investigate a suspicious death. The victim, Rafael Ramirez, was a navel officer; and when he was found dead, a figurine of the Goddess of Revenge, Nemesis, was found near him. There is a suspicion that paranoia played a part in his death, but then other victims start to show up. You are accompanied by Sergio to assist you during your investigation. You use a detective's fingerprint kit to dust certain areas or items in the scenes to determine what items or areas were used to set up the victim's death or were used as escape routes. Then you will hear the detective's thoughts as she determines what took place. We found the fingerprint kit to be slightly temperamental to use until we realized you just had to click once on the kit, and then click on the area in the scene to use it. The main event of this game were the multi-layered, unique HOS. They are quite fun. You have "find the items by silhouette" and the beloved "find and use" types where you find an item by silhouette and then manipulate the item back into the scene. You will have multiple HOS within HOS. They are like a series of micro puzzles within a single HOS, and there can be several segments with short lists in close-up windows. You also have the "pan" effect where your view will move/pan multiple times throughout the HOS so you might complete 3 or 4 micro HOS within a single HOS. You can choose to play match three in place of HOS, but we think most people will choose to stick with the addicting HOS. The puzzles were fairly easy, but we found one to be rather glitchy and had to skip it. There was one where you move a round disk to the right side, moving other shapes out of its way. Well we cannot tell you how many times the game kept resetting, even though we did not hit the reset button. By the fourth time, the only button we pressed was the "skip" button. The map was labeled with objectives and action available, if applicable. There was fast travel to desired locations. The scenes themselves had labeled locations if you held your finger down on the area to which you will be entering. The inventory was labeled and interactive, requiring assembly of some items. You also had some mini games within the inventory where you must complete a series of steps to complete an item for its full use. You are collecting 40 treasure chests in the scenes, and they are fairly easy to see due to their large size. The extras are special. You play a Chest Hunt where you are taken back to the scenes to collect the chests that you missed. Then you can play a Chest Room game. You also have a Souvenir Room; achievements, such as "completing the tutorial"; replay of HOS and mini games; and the usual others. The reason we gave the game four stars was because it lacked a journal and we had to skip that glitchy game. We never skip puzzles. Overall, we enjoyed this game with its unique twists and the multi-layered interaction on gameplay. By the way, are other people having trouble viewing reviews on "Living Legends"? We cannot view our review as well as all others. And finally to Linx Minx: Thank you for your comments on our reviews. We do try to be as helpful and thorough as we can.
It's a good game. Love the mini games within the mini games. Nice interaction all around. We like the story line and graphics. No complaints.
We are loving this game! It is lots of fun and very interesting, the puzzles have layers of games in each one. Its challenging but not ridiculously hard. The story line and graphics are great and it has a map which we are a fan of. Very well done.
The scenery is somewhat cartoonish, but are otherwise enjoyable. The HOs are not all your plain vanilla words; some need combining, and some are shadows. The puzzles so far are fairly simple. No headaches yet :-) The map works fine, and no glitches yet. We're part way through the trial portion, and look forward to continuing.
We finished the game and tried to play the bonus game, it wouldnt let us and said we didnt finish the game? Very confused.
This seems to have been a problem for year with no fix. We guess customer satisfaction isnt a priority.
We enjoyed this game, but we keep watching the credits and it keeps telling us that the bonus game cannot be unlocked until we finish the game. Frustrating glitch.
Not that great. To much back and forth.
Interesting story, nice graphics, but like others, am stuck at an HOS that will not open. Have reinstalled and am hoping we can play through this time. We hate paying for a game that locks up.
Enjoyed, great graphics. Git to the end, even watched credits but said we hadn't finished the game so couldn't play Bonus. Rats.
Can not move the envelope from the inventory to the gentleman in the plaza.
Glitch at the end of the game resets your treasure chest and stops the bonus game from opening once you finish the game. The game is just okay, the jumping back and forth for for inventory items is the worst we have ever played. Constant tour of this three of the four of those but we enjoyed the puzzles more than most games. Kudos to whoever came up with those puzzles the best part of this game.
Played through game and bonus round then using extras like finding the chests, the game started crashing. This is completely unlike Sea of Lies Burning Coast which was flawless. Game also lost our profile after crashing. Deleted.
Overall, game is good, but not being able to click on a hog is ridiculous! We should not have to restart all over again to see if that fixes it. Big Fix please take care of this or we want a refund! This kind of thing seems to be happening a lot lately.
The Roman numeral safe lock glitches at the very end….we know how to open locks and followed the arrows….but when we get to the last single digit number l, it pulls over to X and resets the whole thing!!!! We've tried five times, even holding it in the right place…..but we had to skip it. We HATE that. Also, the game lags in areas, often taking three or more tries to fit in the item, even though it keeps saying it doesn't work there- when it does. We still hope this game holds more promise so we'll reserve our final review until we've played through – but please fix these glitches! Super annoying!! Ps- On Francisco's note, "There is no such thing as ghosts" should read: "There are no such things as ghosts" or "There is no such thing as a ghost". Just saying. We'll let it slide assuming it's due to ESL.
We had the same problem as the reviewer: "Markeeterwife". Got the red pepper ground and made it the right weight but it didn't put it in our inventory. The HOS still sparkles but when we select it, we can't go back into it to get the pepper.
We get really tired of the rating pop up every few screens, most annoying and gets a lower rating for that.
LOVE LOVE this game, but got to the HO scene where you get the red pepper and it won't put it into our inventory. Scene still shows "active" (sparkles) but ignores us when we try to select it to finish. :( Please fix.
We found many of the puzzles in the free game to be very confusing. We wasn't able to figure out how some of them worked. We skipped several. So, we won't be buying this game. Instructions need to be clearer. Also the sensitivity is an issue in some areas.
We cannot hand the letter to Sergio at the end of chapter 1. What gives.
We were at the end of chapter 4, and completed the HOP, but didnt get anything, now it sparkles to play it, but when we click on it, it goes black, then sparkles again. We dont want to start over, really frustrated.
Got to the end. Watched the credits. Tried to play bonus game. You must finish the main game first. Deleted it.
Ive downloaded game 2xs but it keeps trying to charge us 6.99 to unlock. Its 5/17 at 5:00 pm CST. Please fix. Your coupons to make up difference etc only work on pc and we only use our iPad please help.will update if am ever able to play it.
Says its on sale but when you go to buy it, it says 6.99.
Why is it that you have it on sales (2.99$) but when in try to unlock it it says we have to bay (6.99$).
We were kicked out both at chapter 5 then after deleting and downloading a second time we were kicked out at the dock. Without getting the red pepper and the fire source there is no way to go forward. We have downloaded this a third time; well see how it goes.
The games glitches when its time to deliver the letter to Sergio. We have the letter, but we cant touch it when in the scene where Im supposed to give it to him. (In any other scene, we can tap and hold it and the tooltip tells us its a letter.). We cant move on in the game, so purchasing it was a total waste of money (Refund please!!!).
Don't buy this game until all the problems have been solved. We tried three different times to play through and each time the game stopped working correctly at three different places. Too many bugs for release.
Game was playing fine until we got to the dock … (BTW, check out Alawar The Other Side for only $1.99, plus Five-BN's The Lost Lands: The Four Horsemen for $4.99!) The good: nice voice-overs, interesting HOG types (especially the highly interactive ones which are our favorite), clean Eipix graphics, collectible treasure chests (mostly easy to see but some require an additional step, like pushing away some greenery). The bad: stupid "rate us" pop-up ad, external strategy guide but at least it doesn't re-start the game when you exit the guide. Was a little sad not to find any morphing objects in the HOGs – with Eipix: Hidden Expeditions, we had gotten used to looking for those suckers in the HOGs. The ugly: crappy glitch when playing the HOG on the cart at the dock; we finished grinding the red pepper needed for the potion to reveal the lettering, and the HOG kicked us out at that point. Without the red pepper. It keeps telling us that there is something we still need to get from the HOG, but clicking on the HOG only boots us out of it and back onto the dock. BIG FISH/EIPIX – PLEASE FIX OR REFUND.
So sad too because we were really enjoying both. Game got stuck on the gazebo. We have restarted, reloaded and freeze same spot. We would love to see an update that fixes please or we will request a refund.
