Dark Realm: Queen of Flames HD - A Mystical Hidden Object Adventure 9+

I started out finding this game confusing and am almost finished and still find it so. Beautiful graphics and a lot of care and work went into it, but ultimately I think that is the problem ....over kill. If you like long challenging games even on the easiest level then this is the game for you. Another poster said that a couple of parts don't work on iPad and it is true...just skip over them. Good try but I am a tad sorry I bought it, and I am a game veteran. I won't be doing the bonus this time.

The introductory music was great, but I don't like having the sound on, sooooo. The graphic were beautiful. But, the game left much to be desired. The intro was too long, and I skip that stuff anyway, so it meant nothing to me. I wanted to PLAY! I finally got to a scene with no idea what I was supposed to do. I tapped around but received messages if "not now." I ended up using the hint button way too often, and I disliked that. Going from scene to scene, was confusing. The balance game was impossible because it, like the HO scene, didn't respond quickly enough, though I WAS tapping. So I skipped that game and moved on. In the entire free sample there was only one HO scene. It was confusing because as you tapped the items they didn't disappear, they moved aside to reveal a puzzle piece. I thought that might be interesting. It wasn't. I wanted a map, but found none. I figured out how to use the boots because of the print about the mother using the boots. I couldn't figure out the medallion at first, not sure, even now, exactly what it was for. Over all it was frustratingly confusing and no fun at all. I WON'T be buying this game.

I had a LOT of “firsts”;here this time. First time I lost myself completely in a game…… first time I didn’t resent paying six plus dollars for an eight year old game…… first time I couldn’t find a glitch to complain about……first time EVER I’m not deleting off iPad as I have every intention of playing again. I will end this by saying directly to anyone reading this that your hunt is over. Don’t pay much mind to the 8yr old negative reviews because someone must have went in an overhauled and fixed any and all issues. This game is very long very good. Good story good graphics a mix of puzzles ……some easy some not. The art work and graphics and score and storyline ……… I thunk that absolutely EVERYONE did their job well on this game. Again…… I just finished this aril 4th and I promise that even if your a veteran of these types of games you will not be disappointed. Thanks for the hard work and effort you put into this one guys. Well done!!!!
