Looking for more information? Read a comprehensive review of Arcane Arts Academy below:
We love this app and the second we really hope that you make a third cause this is the best app ever and Its so addictive literally we cant get off it.
Support, What happens with level 32? Once Siren come, but not enough come. What wrong with more than once times of Siren did not come for books? Please fix it and thanks.
We really love this game we love this original stories we mean we love when they come out with new game we are playing for free which is awesome we dont paying for the whole game we dont mind the adds its great way that we can replay to videos we know lots of people dont like watching adds its better than paying for the games.
We have always loved playing game house games from Emily delicious to Dr cares. But from its new recent games, like hearts medicine. And this one levels have become boring and if we have to say, even when its on normal, its hard to beat. Cant really find this game enjoyable anymore or any of the new games that have come out.
After watching an ad, the only command is an arrow top right. This brings up the App Store pop up. X out of that, then an x pops up that you have to X out of. Annoying princess. Also, please get rid of that Bigo Live ad. Its very creepy, in the worst way possible. Kids shouldnt see that.
Loved the story line and most of the scenes were quite artistic, but the inconsistency in game play in levels was frustrating. On several levels, 5 stars could easily be reached in Hard mode, then there were levels that 5 stars was impossible in Easy mode! And the countdown timer is laughable on many levels (i.e., near end of level, timer shows only half a bar filled, yet as soon as level ends it fills up to 5 stars instantly.) Because we have a GH subscription, Im going to check out the sequel and hope thats more polished.
Love this game and cant wait for part 2! However, there are still bugs in the levels with Siren. She never comes back so you cant complete the side task for the 3rd star. We see this was addressed in a comment a year ago, and you said you were working on it. The workarounds dont fix the problem.
Arcane arts academy 1 was amazing and we wanted to play part 2 but it said windows pc was required. We played part 1 on an iPhone and intended to do the same with part 2? Why isn’t the sequel available as a phone app?
There are two levels(32 & 34)where Siren never shows up again so its impossible to get the third star or complete the level objectives so thats annoying but other than that its fine. Update: Deleted and redownloaded the app and everything appears to be working fine now.
Definitely had a good time playing it! Would recommend for anyone whos into time management games to play and Im mostly looking forward to the sequel.
Could be more challenging, however, the game is fun and the graphics are cute.
Just bought it yesterday, finished the levels today. Love the story. So hoping you guys do a sequel!!!
Thank you GameHouse for another great game. We enjoyed the Harry Potter like vibe and setting. We thought the story line was good. We still as always appreciate the one cost to buy the game and just be able to play it through. We did read another review asking for another Emily story line game and we vote yes on that too please. Would like to see what her next adventure will be. As always Thank you so much for creating fun games to play. You guys rock!
We play tons of time management games and almost never care about the plot. We actually really played this game mostly for the story. Please do another one. Gameplay is standard Game House style.
Great game and cant wait for the second one. But when will there be part two for the other games. Like the detective Jackie. The barbaric tavern.
Like a lot of other Gamehouse players, we were happy to see Gamehouse return to the type of game they do best: time management with a storyline. Id also really like to see follow up games to previously released games, to continue the storylines we are invested in. Cute game and story kept us interested, but there are several technical bugs throughout the game. We see from a review in January, developer response stated they were aware of the bugs and working on fixing them… Yet its 6 months later and the bugs are still present. We found a way to work around the bugs, by switching to easy mode. However, we’ve bought all the Gamehouse games and we were ok with paying the high $9.99 price, because they were so well done and perfect, but once you start releasing games with bugs you will lose your customers. A few bugs might be ok for a $2.99 IOS game but it isnt ok for a $9.99 IOS game.
We truly enjoyed this game! The story always having twists was super intriguing and enjoyable! We binged this game within 3 days! Our only sadness was a few levels were broken and you were not able to get all stars, but we saw it was already spoken about. We pray for a second installment to this story!
This has been really fun and we’ve been 100%ing every level, but the extra task in 32 is broken and its frustrating not to be able to do it :(
We are an experienced player and we rarely have issues with levels, but levels 47 and 53 are impossible. We have replayed them several times EACH, and we cannot complete them with three stars and the objective.
We loved this game and its story, as we love all Gamehouse games! We appreciate games where you can pay once and unlock everything, as opposed to all of these free games with necessary in-app purchases these days. The only reason we give it 4 stars is because of the glitches in levels 32 and 34, which make you unable to complete the objective and get 3 stars. So close, please fix it!!
Please fix the multiple glitches in the game, then it will easily be a five star game!
We’ve played all of GameHouses time management games. We like the different theme of this one, but so many bugs. There are levels where you cant get three stars on easy but you can on normal, and levels where the game does not give you the opportunity to complete the bonus objective bc it simply does not give you the opportunity (ex: you cant take the books from the siren if she only appears once.) we played through, deleted the game, played again a few weeks later and had the same issues. Good game that needs some fine tuning.
We have quickly gotten engrossed in this game. It has an Intriguing story and the usual well-conceived format that we have come to expect of a Gamehouse game. The problem for us is that we need to play at the hard level to make it a little challenging; but there are now some levels that are impossible to pass, even with a flawless round. And the normal game level is too easy. Gamehouse. Please create more robust options for those of us who like a challenge! Some of the Fabulous games offered that but we havent found any recently.
This game is tagged as 12+ and yes, we know some 12 years old kids know more than an adult but they are still children, they are not even teens yet and this game deals with heavy issues like recreational smoking and another topic that we wont share as to prevent spoilers. You dont have to remove the smoking and whatnot, just up the age recommendation because showing smoking as something cool and having a relationship with your older professor/teacher (big ew, btw power imbalance who?? Even if the characters are indeed adults, we assume college aged, and not teenagers as we thought they were) its not cool nor is it appropriate for literal children. Also the game is laggy! So much lag. Lag everywhere, every episode. Lag, lag, lag.
Really cute and fun game but it really makes us not want to buy any game house if you guys do not listen to consumers.
I havent played this particular game yet, this review is more so a question* Is there possibility of getting new versions of the older games? We really LOVE the Emily games but we cant find myself caring about the Delicious World or Bed and Breakfast versions. We deleted the Bed and Breakfast version because the whole match three icons to earn money and build up a decrepit house has been done to death (Gardenscapes anyone?). And Delicious World seems excessive. 120 levels an episode… 5 episodes a season…. And theres 7 seasons so far. You do the math. We like the old formula of just 60 levels and a charming story about Emily or whichever protagonist. Can we maybe get a new Ambers Airline? Or Sally? Or even Dr. Cares?? Everyone loves Angela too. We know you can do it Gamehouse, Im rooting for you.
We have played GameHouse Original Series games since the first Delicious. But we share the disappointment of other reviewers in the story line and characters. That brought our review down to four stars, but what really cost the next star was the inability to upgrade aspects of each scene. We really dont care what Erika’s bedroom looks like, but we would like to have the ability to have her move more quickly, or have coffee-makers (and similar) unable to overflow, or a better whatever to increase tips. Im not even halfway through the game, and already there are scenes we just cant get that third star on. At least we havent encountered a mini-game of find all the cats because we hate those!
Woah, we expected a lot more. Although the story gives us vibes of the new Sabrina from Netflix, its missing the fluidity and consistency of the previous games. The lag… We cant play this game at all. You went from creating these wondrous games that grabbed us from an early age of the delicious 1 and throughout the series to hearts medicine season 1 and we waited years and years for a new one, which grasped us and then ambers airline. The first game to come out with somewhat 3D characters with a fluid storyline and gameplay. We pay monthly for access to your stories and this is just a disappointment and doesnt even match the original fluidity of the delicious series. We want to play, we want to love the story, but it is so SO jagged and laggy in gameplay that we cant bring myself to get into it. You all can and HAVE done better. We love you all, but this is just such a disappointment.
This was one of our favorite gamehouse games but Im upset you have to pay to play past level 8. Really wish it was like some of your other games where we can watch ads to continue playing but its not.
We pay for game house subscription which is suppose to allow full access to game house games without ads but when we select restore purchase it doesnt work & the game will not unlock without us paying again!!! Please fix.
Im really a fan of these types of games! This one in particular we really enjoy playing, however theres a bug. It tells us to click anywhere but the screen remains black and stuck. This is the second time it has happened. The first time we uninstalled thinking when we reinstalled it would work, but we loss our progress. Now its happening again. If fixed we will give all stars in rating.
Let us play for free with ads :( pls am broke.
So far Im enjoying this game play.
Hey we were just concerned because it seems that Erika walks kind of stiff than the other characters?
This game is one of the best ever from Gamehouse! The developers knocked it out of the park with this one just like the Tavern one! Gameplay is fun and just challenging enough. Characters and plot are very cute. No issues whatsoever with glitches or levels. You can get three stars on all levels, but you might have to play them a few times or change strategies. This game is just plain fun! Keep em coming!
We’ve been waiting for a new game, checking back once a week to see if our wish came true. And finally you have answered our prayers, we thank the world for GameHouse.
We didnt have the same trouble that others did with bugs and was able to 3 star every level. A few levels actually required a couple of replays to get the 3 starts so there was a little challenge as well. However, there were many grammatical errors in the characters dialogues. We normally dont see those with Gamehouse so Im sure it was just the rush to get it out and hopefully, they will be corrected later. We think the idea of a magical college is interesting and fun. These are definitely not kids or an HP equivalent. Looking forward to the next chapter that was teased at the end of the game.
You cannot complete the special quests, because characters do not show up.
We have played all Gamehouses time mgt games and they just keep getting better! There are two bugs in the game in levels 32 and 34 where its not possible to get the trophy/third star due to the character not showing up but even with these bugs, its a great bingeable game. Story line was surprisingly extensive and interesting, but it was clear there were English as a second language issues… So there needs to be better localization. We really hope Gamehouse creates a sequel. It would be great to see more ethnic diversity in the characters, and continuation of the storylines like Emily and Barbarous. It feels like you guys create all of these great plots then just leave us hanging!!! Thank you for the great games!!!
Great game. Please fix the bugs in levels 32 and 34. Siren does not show up (after the first time) in order to get the third star.
Been waiting for this, watching it progress along the development line to release.
We love Gamehouse products, we’ve played almost all of them, some of them multiple times. We enjoy the characters and the writing is usually really good. This one Un fortunately is very disappointing on both fronts. Erika is not someone we find myself caring about, and the setting just doesnt lend itself to this kind of time management play structure. Sadly, the writing needs some serious editing for grammar. We are sad because we waited for this one with excitement, but compared to the Primrose Lake or the Emyr games, it really lacks the charm of either one. Would love another one like the Golden Mask, or even Mortimer. Maybe we can get a new Delicious saga with Emily and the Fam? Anyway, Im sorry to leave a bad review, but hopefully, youll see this and get back to making better games! We love you guys, and now Ill go download one of our old faves, and feel better.
We enjoy this time management game and story line as much as the previous Gamehouse games. Our only issue is that these games are for kids and we dont appreciate the addition of the characters, who appear to be teenagers, smoking as if its cool. Thats not the type of message our youth need. Edit that part and your game would be awesome. Also level 32 is broken. Siren only brings the books once so you cant beat the level.
We would give the game a 5 but Im on level 32 and Im suppose to collect books from Sierena like 5 times she only shows up once. If we pay for something then we expect to get our moneys worth. This needs to be fixed.
