  • Awesome storyline! Awesome game!

    I loved it! The game was super fun but some of the mini games weren’t that great but nothing a little skip button couldn’t fix!😁
  • Rite of Passage: The Sword and the Fury by LynxMinx

    Note to Seize73: I am quite sure that I am one of the reviewers of whom you speak. At first I was a bit bored and then the game became exciting. It was worth it!
    Note to Dracyy: No, my friend, EIPIX didn’t do a terrific job on this game because it was developed by Mad Head! The symbols are spirals, not EIPIX symbols. You must have been exhausted after playing the game and you were too tired to edit your review, lol!
    Note to KimTwilight: I knew you would be excited about this game because there were a ton of puzzles, and you are a self-proclaimed “puzzle-a-saurus”.Fond thoughts went out to you immediately!

    Since Kim did such a great job reviewing the game, please refer to her review. My sentiments echo hers to a tee! Although the storyline was banal, the gameplay was bizarre and exciting. There were some innovative touches in some of the HO scenes, such as rotating the star or the one with the circles. I don’t want to say more than that because I don’t want to spoil the game for others. Many of the puzzles were of the rotational genre, but I forced myself to fight through them instead of automatically skipping them. However, I didn’t like the mini-game with the sword; it got old after a couple of uses. Looking at the capacity I thought the game would be way shorter but Mad Head crammed a ton of puzzles into the gameplay and so it was much lengthier than I thought it would be. That was a nice surprise, especially after BigFish inflicted Elefun upon us Monday.
    I deducted a star for some touch screen sensitivity issues. It was difficult at times to acquire or use inventory items. In addition, I would have liked to see objects in different perspectives, which Mad Head had given to us in previous games. However this was still a fantastic game and my review will stand at 4 stars.
    Does anyone know when we will receive a new distribution from either Artifex Mundi or Five BN? If so, please post an answer in the Monday game. Thanks!
    Happy gaming to everyone!
  • Frustrating

    I tried to navigate through the the tunnel game, and the right arrow didn’t respond,I had to skip. Also, Instructions aren’t always clear, I had trouble on other puzzles for these reasons. I love these kind of games, but problems with the no response unclear instructions make these games frustrating.
  • Sword and Fury - one game I’m happy to keep

    Mad Head did an awesome job on this one! Game is colorful, beautiful and nice and long! Collect signs in every scene and morphing object in hop. Transporting map and lots to do. Definitely worth buying! Updated to correct sorry Mad Head
  • No original games confusing story

    Some of the worst hops I have ever seen
  • Challenging & Different

    Really enjoyed this bizarre game, which is totally typical for this developer. Lot’s of unique tasks, Great voiceovers, clear graphics, morphing collectible. A lot of puzzles, some being very thought provoking, hidden object scenes lists, as well as shapes with some being interactive. Have always enjoyed this developers style. Great game - Tip: Make sure you collect everything and look around thoroughly, or you might not be able to progress. ( This happened to me and I ended up having to start over). This game is on the touch sensitive side as well.
    Overall, I am Very pleased with my purchase and recommend other gamers purchasing it, if it’s your style. You be the judge.
    Happy Gaming Everyone! 😃

  • Free Trial too short and not feeling the story

    I am waiting to see if anyone else likes this game. I felt that the Free Trial was too short to understand the game or even to enjoy it.

    I was not feeling it, and did not enjoy it, but maybe it does get better.

    Please who ever plays the whole game let me know what you think, and if it is worth buying.

    Thank you to all the ones who leaves reviews. We may not always have the same taste in games, but I have always seem to find your reviews helpful and are truthful to help me decide to buy it.
  • I'm Glad That "Rite of Passage" Is Still "Passing" Through!

    This is one of the few series that I still look forward to since it continuously delivers satisfactory gameplay and action-packed drama. This storyline, though, delivers the cliched theme of finding a lost relative, with your efforts, of course, thwarted by sinister, glowing-eyed monsters — no surprise here — but it's conveyed in an exciting manner, thus maintaining my attention and curiosity as to what will happen next. I'm underwhelmed by the run-of-the-mill gimmick, which is repeatedly put to use, resulting in a mind-numbingly boring puzzle that does little to sparkle my imagination.

    The artistic designs of the settings showcase Madhead's typical visual finesse, creating a contrast between raw, gritty visuals, as demonstrated by the subway station and train, and the fantasy-oriented, lite-horror aspects.

    I'm disappointed that the HOSs are lacking the creatively executed components I've become accustomed to from this developer, and the formats of such are all-too-common, as the variety is scant. The oodles of puzzles steal the show — for me, the more the merrier. I am both impressed and pleasantly surprised by the high level of challenge the puzzles present and the clever techniques they implement. They are intelligently integrated into the storyline to complement the frequently materializing predicaments, not just randomly plugged in to fill some playtime. The collectibles are hard to find due to the dark coloration of the graphics; there are morphing objects to discover in the HOSs.

    This game is not free of imperfections. I consistently experience touch sensitivities while using inventory within the scenes. This impediment, in my opinion, is pervasive throughout all of their games. I still think that this game is a solid offering, and it does become more interesting upon progression. I suggest playing the free trial, at least. My true rating is 3.75 stars; however, I bumped it up to 4 stars to account for the terrific puzzles.
