I really wish you consider adding more than 1 discounted game at a time for iPad. There are several games available for phone, PC, and MAC. ### 4/5 — Fix the game! *2020-03-27* We liked the game but like the reviewer TWO years ago, half way through the game we had to come up with our own way to get the inventory to show and use it! Come on...after paying full price for the game, the least you could do is fix this glitch. We buy games from this company often and have not encountered this kind of annoying glitch before. It really took away from the enjoyment of playing the game! Get the lead out and fix it!!! ### 5/5 — Wunderbar *2020-03-17, version 1.0.0* Tolle Grafik . Die Geschichte ist 👏 toll und schlüssig das Spiel ist abwechslungsreich spannend. Es ist zu empfehlen ### 5/5 — Great Game *2020-03-14, version 1.0.0* Wish I could play all of it. ### 5/5 — Bluebeard *2020-03-09, version 1.0.0* It was a very good game I truly enjoyed it it had a good story line to it and it lasted a good length of time am now about to play the bonus game so hopefully it will be just as good we’ll worth the money payed ### 5/5 — Bluebeard. The curse *2020-03-08, version 1.0.0* I really enjoyed this one. Good interesting story, lots of twists and turns and no problems with it working. Well done ### 5/5 — A GREAT GAME *2020-03-03, version 1.0.0* Usual good graphics & storyline. Plenty of interesting mini games. All round it is worth the £3.99 I paid years ago. Just played this game again in 2020 and still enjoyed it. ### 5/5 — Great game *2020-03-02, version 1.0.0* This game had a longer play time then most, very satisfying play! ### 5/5 — Play a lot *2020-03-01, version 1.0.0* Really enjoyed this game! Worth the money. 👍 ### 5/5 — Fun brain teaser *2020-03-01, version 1.0.0* Mind boggling, needed a little help and when it came the eyes rolled as obvious. Have done the easy and skipped a few but now I have played will step up to the challenge ### 4/5 — Great little game with an interesting story line *2020-02-29, version 1.0.0* Lovely collection of HOPs and puzzles together with morphing objects, scrolls, roses, and figurines. First person switches between characters during the story. It has a long list of potential achievements - some of which are quite a challenge. Movement between locations is swift and there are not too many lengthy conversations holding up the game play. This would have been a five star review but I feel the developers missed a trick by not having the alternative game (to HOPs) available in the bonus section nor the ability to replay HOPs. ### 5/5 — First Game I Purchased in Years *2020-02-28* I haven't really played a new hidden objects game in a long time. This one was very challenging for the advanced level. I really enjoyed everything except the story line. Anyway, after completing the main game, I'm glad I purchased it. ### 4/5 — Ok with discount *2020-02-27, version 1.0.0* A reasonable range of puzzles but poor graphics. ### 5/5 — Dark Romance: Curse of Bluebeard *2020-02-27, version 1.0.0* Great game. Kudos ! ### 4/5 — It was pretty good *2020-02-26* Maybe I’ve just played to many of these games that it takes something pretty special to give it a five. I think maybe the story boarded me. It’s the same old evil guy who kills his wives and he’s now kidnapped your beloved so you have rescue her. Blah, blah, blah. Graphics were nice and a good mix of puzzles. I’d recommend it if you haven’t already played this particular story line 100 times before. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Won’t play on iPad Pro iOS 13 *2020-04-21, version 1.0.0* Title says it all ### 1/5 — Brilliant game *2017-06-07, version 1.0.0* This is one of my favourite games - and I have played at least 100! The storyline is one you can follow easily, there are many collectibles and the HO's are challenging. I also like the fact you can make the internal games easy or hard. Music and quality of scenes enhance the game. What's not to like? Absolute bargain at £2.99! Thoroughly recommended. ### 1/5 — Dark romance *2017-05-29, version 1.0.0* Glitch when you get to the small boat. Keeps saying nothing to do here. After collecting cylinder etc. Cannot go any further. Luckily not bought the game. ### 2/5 — Glitches *2020-03-03, version 1.0.0* Went to the Bonus without a hitch. However, the bonus game would not give me certain items needed to advance. Reset and have tried to play the regular story three times. Different glitches in different areas. I am not happy with this app. ### 2/5 — Sub-par *2020-02-26, version 1.0.0* The graphics for the big fish games are normally very good. This one is very low level and poor quality. Not sure I will be paying to finish it. ### 2/5 — First game 5 stars - not so with this one *2018-02-15, version 1.0.0* So far I’m not impressed. These games are definitely made by different designers. I loved my first Big Fish game (gave it 5 stars) but on this one I’m lost. It’s like things don’t connect and I find myself clicking all over the screen to find a solution. I hope it gets better. ### 2/5 — Blaubart *2017-06-08, version 1.0.0* Bevor das Spiel startet brauche ich oft 8-9 Versuche, da es anfangs oft abstürzt. Gute Story, wenn die Abstürze nicht wären, gäbe es volle 5 Punkte. Vielleicht kann man das ändern. ### 3/5 — Fun, but glitchy *2020-12-22, version 1.0.0* I want to enjoy this game, but accessing my inventory takes a LOT of tapping all over and going from one room to another. ### 3/5 — Great game *2020-04-26, version 1.0.0* The puzzles were great and it's fun to play ### 3/5 — Blaubart *2017-11-13, version 1.0.0* Ein schönes Spiel, allerdings sind in den Minispielen einige Bugs, sodass man nur auf "lösen" tippen kann, damit man weiterkommt. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Toll *2025-10-22, version 1.0.0* Was soll das habe das Spiel 2017 gekauft und soll es jetzt nochmal kaufen abzocke 😡 ### 5/5 — Worked perfectly *2023-03-29, version 1.0.0* Another game which worked perfectly on my iPad Pro. Good graphics, sound effects and music. Great value for the price. Not too challenging but cleverly written again, just like other similar games. ### 5/5 — Big fish *2022-10-16, version 1.0.0* I love it ### 5/5 — BEST ONE YET!! *2022-03-03, version 1.0.0* I have played all of the Dark romance games and the Curse of Bluebeard may be the very best one. The amount of game play you get is staggering, and as always the shifting viewpoints are so much fun. Please keep this series going!! ### 5/5 — Really enjoyed it! *2022-01-16* This was great! Being able to play the two main characters was fun. Then it’s not just one point of view but two hero’s working this out. Hope you make more like this! ### 5/5 — Fun *2021-05-01, version 1.0.0* Good puzzles. Pretty addictive. Lost track of time playing this game. There was one puzzle I just didn’t understand for the life of me, even when I switched to easy mode... but I blame me, not the game. Had to skip it and hated myself a little bit. Quality of the game did not drop after the first few scenes (when the free trial period was up). LOL at some of the cutscenes. ### 5/5 — Top class game *2020-12-21, version 1.0.0* I love this game. It has everything you need, a great plot, excellent graphics, collectibles and brilliant hidden object scenes with a variety types, from normal to the ones where you find one object and use it to find the other. Superb game! ### 5/5 — Horsegirl56 *2020-11-23* Awesome game I thoroughly enjoyed all the different types of games and puzzles instead of just the same kind all the way through the characters are interesting and it has been a wonderful experience I love hidden object games!!! ### 5/5 — Finally! *2020-04-19, version 1.0.0* Great game loving every minute. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2020-04-16, version 1.0.0* Lots of fun and a good story to boot. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
