Community Insight:
They are always so well done. The storylines are by far the most action packed. The artwork is colorful and cool. Any all the little side things to find, although sometimes a little too easy, make the game so much more fun! Keep it up Domini! Btw guys, they have their own app store section. Oleg… Something. You'll find it.
Was an excellent game. We enjoyed the collectibles (morphings, paintings and brushes) and interacting with the players. The teleporting map was useful and the storyline interesting. Found no glitches in the main portion of the game, now on to the Bonus portion. We hope it is as good as the main game was.
Incredible game! Awesome graphics and very addicting.
We like this series and this one does not disappoint. We are definitely buying this game.
We enjoyed this game very much. However we wasnt too fond of some of the choices of games. Perhaps Ive grown more fond of actual find the hidden objects and have difficulty with the confusion of rotating circles, etc. We found the instructions for many of the games lacking. AND we WAS ON THE EASY PLAY. With that being said, the story line was good and the exchanging characters was wonderful. We will play it again with gained knowledge.
We can scroll through our items and have to use a hint. It's quite frustrating.
First, let us say that we really love this series, and that these are our favorite type of game. This one, however, left us feeling as though something was missing. Maybe it was because when the game ended, we still had a few things in our inventory! The story was original and engaging, but it just ended too fast.
The right hand inventory arrow is beneath the task book. Love this series, but this is happening often. Hope you can address it soon since we cant continue.
We buy hidden object games for the hidden object puzzles so when a HO games HO puzzles are out numbered by misc puzzles, we find that to be really annoying, so hence, the low score.
The hint button charges so slowly its frustrating.
The game could be better if not sluggish. Diary is in the way on the inventory line cannot get all of inventory.
Storyline was silly, mini games boring & we found ourselves just waiting for the next hidden object scene to pop up. Even with 3 extra items including morphing items to find throughout the game couldnt help this one! Just glad we waited until it was on sale for $2.99 before we pulled the trigger on this one! Thoroughly disappointed.
We were absolutely enjoying the introductory chapter that we got, but when we went to purchase and unlock, we are unable to do so. Its a pity, because we really was enjoying it so far.
Puzzles were mostly the same. Tiny print, tiny scenes. Not a favorite.
If this isnt a very old game, it sure plays like one. The storyline is maudlin to the point of ridiculousness. The artwork is boring, but the games worst feature is the mini games. They are so repetitive and dull. We found ourselves skipping them from boredom. How many manipulate-these-objects-and-moving-one-impacts-others puzzles can you do? The HOPs are all identical to one another. Even at $2.99, this game is a rip off. If you are brand new to this type of game, dont spend more. If you have played more than 3 hidden object games in your life, give this one a pass.
We really enjoyed this one. A creative touch is that you actually play two characters, switching between them, at different points, when action is required. There was enough back and forth looking for objects to make it fun but not get extremely confusing. The graphics are lovely. Another terrific touch is that for each mini game you can choose easy or hard. We found easy, hard enough! If we have one complaint it is that far too many of the mini games included pieces which you move with levers or buttons or however~ where moving one moves three others, etc. We happen to be unable to do that kind, so we were happy for the skip buttons. We have not yet played the bonus game.
This was a fantastic Big Fish download. Interesting and cohesive storyline, great gameplay, varied and interesting puzzles and HOPs. Overall very enjoyable! The Bonus Game was interesting as well, and a good length. Would love to see more from this series.
We really enjoyed this game. We had no issues or glitches, but we did read some people had issues, but it worked perfectly for us. We love this series, we find it to be the most fun having to work together. It makes the game more interesting. We know Big fish has others out there in this series that you can play on the PC. We wish they would soon have a special that has all of the games released for the IPad that you can download for a limited time. We really enjoy games without all the guts and gore. We work a very stressful job, so these games are a way to unwind and relax before bed. So keep up the good work Big Fish and make all of us who love this series happy. Release all of these games Please.
Loved this game! The characters and their acting were outstanding, really fitting right along with the storyline. Gameplay was Very smooth. Enjoyed every aspect of the game! Lot's of hidden object scenes, from word lists to some locating of shapes. Also incorporated was interactive scenes, which is a huge plus for us. The puzzles were fun and you had a choice to play either easy or hard. (Nice Touch) Collectibles were scattered throughout the game, along with some morphing objects. We really was impressed with this game and well put together, logically and otherwise. Highly recommend buying this one! It's Very Enjoyable and yet Adventurous as well. Also nice length to this one – so more entertainment for your buck. Thank you Big Fish & Developer – Let's keep these games coming! KdBoots (Happy Gaming Everyone) Play & Enjoy.
Loved every single thing about this game. A winner.
Absolutely captivated. Can't put it down.
Big Fish is a master at gaming and hidden objects! We are barely in the beginning of solving this but it has our complete attention. The games are fun and challenging but not unsolvable. If you like mystery games, riddles, and hidden objects then you are in for a treat. The best part is the story-lines as they unfold. They are intriguing tales that by themselves can catch anyones devotion. Try it for free, and you decide if its worth your time and money. We did. Thanks Big Fish.
Great game so far. Beautiful graphics, several hidden bonus items to find, neat characters. We had no problem downloading the game, although it does take quite awhile to do so. Happy that Big Fish has been giving us some really good games lately. Keep them coming.
We loved playing this game until we finished the Bonus game. The Extras menu showed the morphing and collectible screens. However, when we tapped the missing objects, it wouldnt let us return to locate the missing items. Also, please make the refresh rate faster than 15 seconds.
Great art – lots of hidden things – easy to know when you have ones to find. Did not care for some of the mini games. HOPs were great – and we like having an alternative.
We have enjoyed the previous two Dark Romance games. The double roles you got to play were fun. They were full of action! While this installment the double roles is still there, the action and adventure is lacking. The plot was not original ( as played out in Living Legends : Beast). We hope for another installment of this game with an original plot and more adventure and action.
This series is always a hit or miss for us. But the one standout feature that sets this series apart from others is the unique ability to play double characters always one male and one female to gain distinct perspectives of their interactions with other characters, their reactions to certain predicaments, and their reflections of each other. We also like that the inventory usages alters between characters. That said, the game delivers an expected plot, as the twist of turning people into monsters is a rehashed idea. The graphics are saturated in a brightly shining neon-green coloration that, to us, is more of a distraction than aesthetic beauty. We love the immersive animations such as a grandfather clock chiming and the pictures changing back and forth inside hanging portraits that spring to life upon touch. However, the developer scantly incorporated them into the environment. The adventure portion of gameplay is a big disappointment very pedestrian. The HOSs lack a "wow" factor. In fact, they mostly comprise either traditional word lists or a few other types, and hence the absence of innovative elements to stimulate our imagination. Likewise, the puzzles you can enable a difficulty setting for most overwhelm us with boredom, although several are smartly integrated into the storyline. They demonstrate too much emphasis on the rotational or "one thing affects another" types. The collectibles are always sufficient and entertaining; we like that this developer applies an informative aspect to one set. This sequel is unremarkable; there are no surprises waiting around the corner. Gameplay is mundane, and the storyline is singing lullabies to us. We normally like most games from this developer, but not this time. Very disappointed.
Wrote a review, but Big Fish app froze, again! Tired of writing reviews we cant post. This game is wanting in many ways. Try it for yourself.
Not able to download it looks like it did but cant access game? We have had no issues with other games.
What is the deal? Just says can't download at this time. We have been trying to download for 5 days.
Plenty of storage on our iPad but still wont download.
