C'est aussi important que le reste ! Et pour ceux qui se plaignent que c'est payant après quelques niveaux, c'est écrit dans la description. Il suffit de lire ☺️ ### 2/5 — Не даёт играть за рекламу *2022-08-06, version 1.3* Рекламу не грузит, только платно покупать ### 5/5 — Spoiler for the new guys *2022-06-15, version 1.3* I think Gwen is Emyr’s daughter ### 2/5 — FAR TOO EXPENSIVE *2022-04-24, version 1.3* You only get to play 12 levels before being charged £8.99 to buy the game in full, plus £9.99pm subscription for extras… I would actually rate this game 5 stars, if it weren’t for that. It’s a really funny and addictive game. I’d absolutely love to play the whole thing and then move on to Barbarous 2, but those prices are far too high. Such a shame. ### 5/5 — Thumbs up! *2022-01-21, version 1.3* Love it so far ### 5/5 — Amazing Game *2021-11-27, version 1.3* My fave game next to the Emily series. High quality polished game with addictive gameplay. I love the story and references to lord of the rings. I will play again and again! ### 5/5 — I need more *2021-10-26, version 1.3* I absolutely love this game! Normally i skip through dialogue on gamehouse games but this game kept me laughing. I really hope they make future games around this story! ### 2/5 — It’s kind of boring there isn’t much you can do all of the games are the same *2021-09-07, version 1.3* I would like to see something better ### 5/5 — Fun! *2021-06-12, version 1.3* Hope there’s a sequel! I want to meet Gwen’s mom! ### 3/5 — Boring and glitched *2021-05-15, version 1.3* Not as interesting as some of the other GameHouse games. And this is the second game where the cutscenes have glitched and not given me all my achievement trophies. Not a huge deal, just annoying. ### 5/5 — Subscription scam *2021-05-12, version 1.3* Great games, great storylines. Just don’t give them a single cent of your money. Subscription is a scam that gives you no benefits and they will do nothing to help you fix it except gaslight you. ### 4/5 — Great cooking game for D&D nerds *2021-05-06, version 1.3* Essentially this is a cooking game like Overcooked or Diner Dash or one of the May others on App Store. It has the same fun and fast paced gameplay but what really sets it apart is the fantasy swords and sorcery theme, the great characters, humour and fun story. It’s a shame there wasn’t a way to pay for the full game without ads rather than having to sign up for all games by this developer for £10 a month! Luckily you can play the whole hame for free if you just watch ads after the first 20 or so levels. Also for some reason I couldn’t watch the Outro cinematic which was a shame. ### 5/5 — Au top *2021-04-26, version 1.3* Dans la ligne de Delicious mais avec un petit côté décalé fort sympathique. Une suite serait la bienvenue. Et retrouver la maman de sa fille ? J’aimerais dire au râleurs radins, que toute peine mérite salaire. Travaillez vous bénévolement vous ? ### 5/5 — Love it! *2021-04-16, version 1.3* I always enjoy playing these games and love that you can buy it outright to play as much as you want without ads or hearts system. Please continue to make more of these types of games! I would love a sequel to this story too. ### 5/5 — สนุกมาก แนะนำเลย *2021-04-14, version 1.3* เล่นเพลิน สนุก ไม่เบื่อ เล่นจบไวมาก Such a good and fun game! Love it! ### 5/5 — Dịch ra tiếng Việt Nam *2021-01-30, version 1.2* Dịch ra tiếng Việt đi mọi người ơi mọi người ơi ### 5/5 — Hãy dịch ra tiếng việt làm ơn *2021-01-20, version 1.2* Tiếng việt ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Язык *2023-05-02, version 1.3* Когда будет русский язык? ### 1/5 — Falta de anúncio *2021-06-01, version 1.3* O jogo é bom mas para pessoas como eu que nao tem condições de pagar é frustrante so pode jogar ate certa fase… pf voltem a por anúncios para conseguirmos jogar completamente ### 1/5 — Not as good *2021-03-09, version 1.2* I couldn’t play more then a few minutes. The graphics are just horrible. And I can’t stand the music. I always have high hopes for game from this company. But not this one. This one I will not be playing. It seems they are aiming for a younger crowd these days. I just can’t bring my self to play this one. ### 1/5 — Not a free game *2020-11-08, version 1.2* This game is $10 ### 1/5 — NOT Free... *2020-10-12, version 1.2* They let you play 12 levels for free, then you have to pay $10 to unlock the rest of the game. Had I known this I wouldn’t have waisted my time. ### 1/5 — Платная *2020-07-28, version 1.2* После 3 этапов вынь да положь денежку за полную версию. Игра триалга ### 1/5 — Só dá para jogar 12 fases. Depois só comprando. *2020-07-27, version 1.2* Deveriam fazer como os outros - Delicious Emily’s - que oferece a oportunidade de jogar assistindo os anúncios. Esse só pagando! ### 1/5 — Pas gratuit *2020-07-16, version 1.2* Comme tout les jeux de gamehouse quelques parties gratuites et ensuite faut payer 10,99 € faut quand même pas exagérer !!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Game is not smooth *2020-07-13, version 1.2* Feels like cheap animation, very slow pace moving, and I hate how there is a delay before interactions, touch screen is not optimum as well. ### 1/5 — A pagamento *2020-07-12, version 1.2* Carino, ma come la maggior parte dei vostri giochi è a pagamento dopo pochi livelli.. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this one *2026-02-15, version 1.4* I grew attached to the characters quickly, they’re all so charming and funny. The level designs and item designs are colorful and cute. Also loved the music for this one, found myself just jamming out to it while in the loading screens. Very good game! Now on to play the second! ❤️ ### 5/5 — Love *2025-07-01, version 1.4* Love ### 5/5 — Love it! *2024-06-17, version 1.4* I love this game. It’s really witty & good fun! ### 5/5 — My opinion about this game *2023-11-21, version 1.4* I really enjoyed this game it inspired me and also reminds me of village with bunch of Vikings it’s cool how Emyr who owns bartender didn’t know that she had a daughter which she ran away from her but got captured by the biggest orc who was telling her about his life how humans think everything they get they earn it. But unfortunately when Gwen was taking by leader of Orc with whole feast how said you have big appetite has a org that she was put in cage which bring me my attention that he was going to get rid of her by eating her flesh. But then her dad who wasn’t part of Gwen life until she came to the bar got hidden by because she was thief of stealing apple. but then at the end he was wanting to build his emyr in to a inn so that you can sleep there just like now a days. ### 5/5 — Video finale *2023-03-23, version 1.3* Buona sera, ho giocato tutti i 60 livelli, bellissimo gioco e storia divertente ma poi non mi fa vedere il video finale. Si può accedere solo pagando? Oppure sto sbagliando qualcosa? Grazie ### 5/5 — Barbarians *2023-02-26, version 1.3* I like this game is awesome from Steve Rosario. ### 5/5 — Sehr cool… *2022-12-20, version 1.3* … gemacht vom Witz und auch von der Story bis dato mein favorite in der Reihe! ### 5/5 — Great Game!! *2022-08-22, version 1.3* I am a big Emily fan and this game is awesome. I would give it six stars if possible. This is my first time rating a game. I downloaded and finished the story in 9 hours i did not even mind the ads. Y'all do a great job with graphics and humor. Favorite line from game” give me one reason not to kill ya, Emyr says cause i am pretty! 😂🤣 ### 5/5 — Good game *2022-06-27, version 1.3* I played non-stop.
