The only issue I had was the hidden music notes you could find in each setting as some of them were extremely difficult to locate ### 4/5 — Worth the price! *2022-08-20, version 1.0.0* Great graphics and story line! A little touchy but worth it! ### 2/5 — ゲームは満点だが、技術的問題で進めない。 *2018-01-19, version 1.0.0* グラフィック、音楽、ストーリーとも5点。ミニゲームは同じ事の繰り返しで飽きる。ボリュームは多い。だがしかし、iOS11では技術的問題多過ぎ。forumでもトラブル報告多し。自分の場合、探偵事務所のマップに録音機を使うこと出来ずに途中で頓挫。一度アンインストールして再インストールで最初からやり直してクリア。技術的トラブルが多いのと、見た目の拘りは素晴らしいけど、単調で飽きる内容なので、勧められない。 I can’t use a recorder on the map in the detective office. It has a technical problem. Please fix it. Because of such problem, I don’t recommend this game for others. ### 2/5 — Cadenza music betrayal. *2017-01-02, version 1.0.0* Boring ! Only played the free part so far won't be purchasing it. Puts you to sleep yawn! And " some one Shoot the god dam piano player please !!" ### 4/5 — Good game! *2016-12-18, version 1.0.0* Very similar to the first one but still interesting with good music and graphics. ### 2/5 — Cadenza *2016-11-06, version 1.0.0* Very disappointed when you pay for a game that still has the same glitches that it had 18 months ago. Could not progress as impossible to use the dictaphone with the map in the Mardi Gras section. Was going well until then. ### 5/5 — Alex *2016-04-14, version 1.0.0* Really like this game. Great graphics,good story and interesting and varied puzzles. The background music is a real bonus! ### 5/5 — Hell *2016-03-31, version 1.0.0* Es war besonders schön. Bitte mehr davon. Drehe normalerweise der Sound aus.. Hier nicht. Handlung fantastisch ☺️ ### 3/5 — Cadenza: Death and Betrayal...why no record of purchase? *2016-03-10, version 1.0.0* Loved the first time I played, when I purchased this game. Good storyline, graphics and games I also enjoy the extra challenge to find something extra in scene. BUT...after reloading to play again, I'm told there is no record of purchase. What gives, guys? This isn't the first time this has happened. And then there are the purchased games that are "no longer offered by Big Fish." I've spent hundreds over the years and then Big Fish responded to my query about those no longer offered, the answer was, "sorry, don't offer..." How about even a partial credit or refund? While I'm b:()$&ing, love the sales but don't love that lately, I have to purchase to even try the game. ### 5/5 — cadenza, music, betrayal and death *2016-03-05, version 1.0.0* Excellent game, lots of puzzles, good HO games. Interesting storyline and the music is great. ### 4/5 — Great! *2016-02-12, version 1.0.0* Great overall ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nope *2022-11-26, version 1.0.0* I love this series, so I thought I would take a chance. Unfortunately, this one is too old, too glitchy, and too expensive for a game that is definitely past its prime. And developers - I own just about all of the games you put out in this genre, and yours are always my favorite, so please don’t ask for a screenshot, or for a description of what’s wrong. The game should either be remastered or tanked completely. ### 1/5 — 日本語版ではないのですか？ *2018-12-27, version 1.0.0* 何故英語なのか分かりません。 ### 1/5 — Nicht in Deutsch *2018-10-09, version 1.0.0* Das Spiel ist bei mir in Englisch und ich weiß nicht wo ich es auf Deutsch umschalten kann. ### 1/5 — Can't play it *2017-04-05, version 1.0.0* I am almost certain I paid for it when it was on sale, but when I tried to start playing tonight, I was informed I hadn't. Like an idiot, I repurchased it. The next hurdle was that I couldn't even enter a player name. Then, I couldn't pick up the collectibles. Notes, yes, but nothing else. Needless to say, I have deleted it. Yes, my iPad is up to date, and I have reinstalled it to no avail. Does no one test these games? ### 1/5 — Miserable buggy game *2016-12-28, version 1.0.0* Impossible to play on an ipad because the hit areas are small and the object to be dragged won't line up to permit the solution. I had to reload three times just to get it to run at all, have to skip puzzles because the objects are out of alignment. Completely defective programming for play on an ipad. Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Wieder ein Spiel auf englisch obwohl deutsch steht *2016-10-26, version 1.0.0* Wieviele ältere Spiele auf englisch denn noch, sehr ärgerlich. Bitte Update auf deutscher Sprache!! ### 1/5 — Cadenze *2016-05-01, version 1.0.0* Ohhhhhhhhhh, the game has not subtitles in Spanish. I like buy. ### 1/5 — Allgemein: *2016-05-01, version 1.0.0* Wenn man die englische Sprache nicht beherrscht, kann man es sich seit einiger Zeit komplett sparen, ältere Spiele zu laden, die im Angebot sind! Das ist frustrierend und ärgerlich!!! 😠 Somit kann ich zum Spiel selbst leider nichts sagen. Geladen und gelöscht! ### 1/5 — Es grenzt an Betrug *2016-05-01, version 1.0.0* Obwohl in der Beschreibung "deutsch" als Sprache angegeben ist, mal wieder in Englisch... Ich denke das war vorerst das letzt Spiel von Big Fish von mir.... ### 1/5 — Cadenza *2016-02-06, version 1.0.0* Wie gerne würde ich dieses schöne Spiel spielen.Leider auch wieder nur Englisch. Das ist bereits das fünfte Spiel was in deutscher Sprache angeboten wird und in englischer Sprache beim Endverbraucher ankommt. So langsam komme ich mir veralbert vor. Darum spiele ich jetzt lieber " Die drei Fragezeichen ". Witzig und in Deutsch. Wirklich schade. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thoroughly enjoyed this game *2021-01-04, version 1.0.0* Love the theme-no monsters and damsels in distress. Mini puzzles challenging but doable and I don’t think there was even one of those drat, annoying, rotational games. The music was good. Graphics good. The only thing I would change is more info on what is needed at some active sites. Just asking what can I do here isn’t always enough. That’s a minor complaint and I’ll be looking for more Mad Head games. ### 5/5 — Cadenza *2020-06-09, version 1.0.0* I like the game I need more games ### 5/5 — So Good! *2020-05-09, version 1.0.0* I love hidden object games but mostly find the stories inane and irritating. This is my second Cadenza game and I am loving the whole production ... the music, the visuals, the games ... all far superior to any I have played recently. I plan to go through the whole series and hope they are constructing more at lightning speed. ### 5/5 — Enjoyed many times over *2020-05-08, version 1.0.0* 👏👍🏻👌🏻❤️🥁🎺🎻 ### 5/5 — Love it *2019-10-28, version 1.0.0* I love all of the games. Cadenza really makes me feel as if I am in the game. Music and graphics are superb. And the mysteries are fun too. I hope more are in the development ### 5/5 — Große Klasse *2019-03-02, version 1.0.0* Kann mich in allem den positiven Rezis der anderen Spieler anschließen. Außergewöhnlich gut, außergewöhnlich lang, mit witziges Extras. Geschichte zwar nicht neu, aber das war fast nebensächlich. WBS okay, Minigames anspruchsvoll. Etliches zum Sammeln und Suchen. Bestens!!!! ### 5/5 — Wonderful game *2019-02-22, version 1.0.0* Only started it and am loving it so far. Even the hog’s are different ### 5/5 — Great game! *2017-07-22, version 1.0.0* Beautiful graphics, interesting storyline, and great hidden objects! ### 5/5 — Cadenza betrayal, death *2017-01-24, version 1.0.0* My favorite, It was so refreshing to see an interactive app such as this it held me mesmerized. The jazz was also so cool. I can't wait for the next release of Cadenza series. ### 5/5 — Great game! *2016-10-18, version 1.0.0* Enjoyed this very much. Had new interesting type of hidden objects. Looking forward the the next one in series. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
