I have played HUNDREDS of dollars worth of these games and this is the very first I deleted because it SUCKED! Challenges without instructions, inescapable loops; looking at Game Forum, I am far from alone in my frustration! So very disappointed in the usually wonderful game-makers!
I haven’t had any technical problems, so I guess I’m lucky. The mini games are varied, and the HOP’s really nice. The morphing objects are particularly hard.
But there really are a lot of WOE moments ( What On Earth ) trying to figure out what you’re supposed to do next. The first in the series was like that too, so if you played that one be warned you’re going to get more of the same. The inclusion of the Oz characters is gratuitous. They contributed nothing, and only Lion actually had a personality like his namesake. And what is Ahab doing hanging out with them.
But my particular problem with the game is the bonus chapter. Practically all of it is a minimally redressed old game. I loved that game and if the devs can still use so much of it they should have fixed the old game so we could still play it. Really ticked 🤯.
I was pretty much enjoying the game until I got to the end of the museum part and got stuck in the Earth room. No amount of pushing the button made the Dino head move. Ok, so I close out , start over and save museum till last !! Same thing. Can't finish game and feel like I've been ripped off. I usually really like the vermillion watch games but doubt I will buy another
Love the art/graphics style and the fact that you are interacting with the characters, makes the game seem more realistic rather than just going around and picking up stuff by yourself. For the player who had trouble with the fight scene: for each bad guy, the foot and hand icons will light up in a certain sequence (I think there were four in each sequence, same icon may be lit more than once), you wait until the sequence is done for that particular bad guy and then you select the same icons in the same order, that particular bad guy will be disposed of, then it will go to the next bad guy, a new sequence will be shown, you copy, and so on.
It has taken me hours to try to complete the museum section because 1) the map and hint don’t actually tell you where you have tasks, 2) there were so many bugs I had to quit and reopen the game to get the next piece for gameplay, and 3) now I can’t complete the section anyway because hitting the button in the Earth room (which I assume will swing the dinosaur head into your foe) doesn’t do anything, and it’s one of the last steps before completing this section. So I cannot advance.
There were many other bugs too. And when you hit the button to show you areas of interest and possible directions, it doesn’t show you everything in a room.
It was a decent game. Towards the end there is a button to push in the dinosaur cave. I press it and it does nothing. Since i paid for the game i feel obligated to start from the beginning ugh... so close the end. I hope it doesn’t glitch second time. Frustrating...
Note to KimTwilight: I know I will play the MadHead game next so I was thrilled to know we at least have an in-game teleport map, and that you liked this game. Thanks for the heads-up!
I was so frustrated by this game. Just know that if you play the locations out of sequence there is a fatal flaw and you cannot finish the main game. Trust me, I learned the hard way. I am not even bothering to go over features; EIPIX gameplay is the same and we have had many of their games over the last few weeks! This storyline was so convoluted and ridiculous; I was annoyed that the developers mixed an entire bunch of characters together from classical fiction. The graphics were incredibly dark in certain locations, so I basically decided not to bother finding the collectible stars. In addition, the quality assurance was sorely lacking, and due to this issue I had to skip certain mini-games/puzzles. The HO scenes were varied but there was no alternative puzzle, and I found several of them too dark to bother with morphing objects. It’s unfortunate that this game had so many technical issues because the actual gameplay was interesting and unusual at times. The game was actually lengthy including the bonus adventure.
I believe that my final rating will stand at 3 stars! BigFish, you need to take EIPIX to task for such terrible quality assurance (touch screen sensitivity issues and difficulty when trying to apply inventory items).
On the plus side, tomorrow night I am getting a new tablet, and I sure won’t miss this 30 foot extension cord!
Happy gaming to all!
The premise of the Vermillion Watch games is everything I love in this kind of game. Victorian, steampunky, great artwork. The game is a hot mess and a waste of money. It literally makes no sense. I was so excited to play it and so disappointed.
Okay so it is an interesting addition to the Vermillion Watch series, but there are glitches in it that stop progress in the game, I have already tried a new profile, deleting and reinstalling the app and not skipped any of the cutscenes however, it gets stuck on either chapter 2 or 3 so please update it
How are you supposed to get past this....no directions and no skip?
Anyone?
