Takes some time to work through on first game and haven't progressed very far but graphics are beautiful ### 5/5 — Incredible!!!! *2017-07-28* Of course I am enjoying it! Just played Lost Lands 2 and it was out of this world!!!!!!! Now hubby and I both downloaded this one and we are having a great time with it! People if you love great adventure games with great puzzles and great stories that lasts for a long time, these developers won't let you down 👍👍👍👍 Well guys, you did it again!!!!! Another FANTASTIC GAME!!!!!! Now hubby and I are going to download another one of your AMAZING GAMES!!!! Please don't stop creating them!!!! ### 5/5 — Darkness & Flame: Born of Fire *2017-04-27* Love the game. Challenging games & interesting characters. Lots of fun things to look for. ### 5/5 — Loved it!!! Please make a sequel! *2017-04-10* Loved it so much! I can't wait for a sequel ❤️ ### 5/5 — Awesome *2017-03-06, version 1.0.3* Great ### 5/5 — Fired me right up! 🔥 *2016-11-04* This is a fantastic game - just as I've come to expect from 5BN. This one in particular has a storyline very different from any other game I've played, & it gave me a bit of a shiver when I figured it out! The games are all well thought out, with gorgeous art & really good voice actors. I'm always excited when a new game comes out, & I now buy them without even playing them first, because I completely trust them. Although, I would like to say that it's really nice to be able to give them a test play, since that's an option that BigFish took away from us. Probably because their games are so bad anymore that they know we wouldn't buy them if we got a glimpse first. I'd choose 5BN over BigFish ANY day! ### 5/5 — Best Game Ever! *2016-10-25* I'm in love with the Five-BN games - best iPad games available (and I've played a lot!). Graphics are beautiful, storyline is great, has all my favorite elements in a game: fun/challenging HOGS, transporting map, good Hint function, good character voices, even good background music and sound effects. Also, LOVE that the game isn't 'evil' in nature .. nothing demonic, satanic, overly scary, etc. PLEASE Five-BN, keep these phenomenal gams coming! ### 5/5 — Great Game *2016-10-16* Enjoying this game. Incredible graphics and entertaining games. ### 5/5 — Well done! *2016-10-16, version 1.0.0* It's a wonderful game. I've played all of their games thus far and I will continue to do so. Can't wait for what's to come... ### 5/5 — Great game *2016-10-14, version 1.0.0* This is a beautiful game that has everything you want to play. It's the best game I have played in awhile. ### 5/5 — BRAVO! *2016-10-14, version 1.0.0* You guys have done it again! I am a Big Fish fan... however your games blows theirs away! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Fantastic as always! *2016-10-13, version 1.0.0* Love these games! Puzzles are challenging, story is absorbing! Has it all...hidden objects, morphing objects & collectibles! Please more games!! ### 5/5 — So far so good *2016-10-12* The game is playing well, although I did chuckle when looking at a box that clearly had a couple of eggs in it. The instructions were though nine lenses missing, not sure what lenses has to do with eggs!! Clearly for me a game worth the money, graphics good and no pixelation on cut away scenes. Update - have just finished playing the main game and it is just brilliant. My one gripe is that I had to look at the strategy guide a couple of times, only no matter how careful I was at touching the guide button, I kept ending up with the achievements. Eventually I would get what I wanted, but there is a slight glitch for me, I am playing on the iPad Pro. ### 5/5 — Please keep them coming !! *2016-10-11* My goodness Five-BN games has done it again! Your games are superior to anything in this genre and I've played most of them by various game makers. I get so excited when I see a new game by you folks and I'm never disappointed! So very creative. I even enjoy the ho scenes which lately seem to to bore me and you don't kill the game with an hos every few steps like so many. Nothing is lacking here folks! Everything we look for in this genre of games is here and more. A must buy like all their games! I wish you put a new game out twice a week like big fish, I'd buy them all but understand perfection can't be rushed & you're one developer. Good work! ### 5/5 — Well done! 👍🏼 *2016-10-11* Best yet from Five-BN. Smooth gameplay, no glitches, no crashes, no issues. Unique story, lots to do, interesting puzzles, and good length. Unlike the paranormal garbage BF has been putting out..so nice to play something else. Thank you!! ### 5/5 — Darkness and Flame *2016-10-10* Once again Five-BN has outdone itself. The Artwork as always gorgeous. The Map indicates the transporting. It has Collectible objects and Morphing objects. A great game but a low hard drive hugger. You must play this adventure. ### 5/5 — Another exceptional game from Five-BN ❤️💕✨ *2016-10-09* I've been waiting for this game to come out on iPad for a while having previously played the brilliant "Lost Lands" and "New York Mysteries" trilogies by this dev. The artwork and scenery are superb (even the map is beautiful) and the atmosphere, especially the background sounds, are gorgeous. I closed my eyes a few times just to listen to the gently flowing water, the tropical birdsong and the wind blowing through the desert - wonderful! That's what I love about this developer - the minute attention to detail. There's a lovely mixture of interesting puzzles and interactive HOS and the music fits perfectly. You meet lots of interesting characters on your long journey where you can also pick up plenty of collectables and morphs and I was really sad to finish this beautiful game 😔. Thank you Five-BN, 10 stars if I could 🙌😍 I ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Fun game, BUT... *2019-10-25* At first, I played the free “sample” version, and I really enjoyed the game, so I went out on a limb and purchased the full game for $6.99. (My first and last app purchase)...I CANNOT even begin to tell you how disappointed I was. Not that the game itself isn’t fun, (it is!) but I literally only played for about and hour and a half/2 hours before I completed the game. I couldn’t believe it. THEN , when you’re finished with the “main game”, there’s a “bonus game” that lasts a whopping hour at most collectively. It was such a waste of money. $7 app for about 3/4 hours of the game collectively. ### 2/5 — No sound *2018-10-11* Found the game too short and had zero sound even though all my settings for game and iPad were all the way up, very disappointed- graphics were good though story was lame. ### 4/5 — Darkness and Flame *2017-03-12* Another great game! I took a point off because of the plot line that has you traveling back to where you shouldn't be, but other than that, it's wonderful! ### 4/5 — One of my favourites *2016-10-09* Bought it straight away as I knew it would be fabulous. Keep them coming FIVE-BN. ### 5/5 — Really liked it! *2025-01-09* Great graphics and storyline. Decent puzzles but a LOT of back and forth that doesn’t flow well with the story. But still throughly enjoyed it! ### 5/5 — Another goody. *2022-05-25* I do enjoy these 5BN games enormously. ### 5/5 — Bring on the rest of series as buy now please. *2022-02-24* I started with F2P to see if I remembered playing on PC many years ago. I did remember the beginning and completed 2 chapters - then I bought the game outright. Please get the rest of this series ready for my iPad 🙏🏻 ### 5/5 — So fun! *2022-01-04* Love all Five-BN games. I’m slowly but surely playing all of them: from Lost Lands to this one. Please continue to make more! ### 5/5 — All FiveBN Games are AWESOME *2021-10-13* I played all 7 Lost Lands and fell in love with your story telling and challenges with the mystery! These should be movies!! I am in love with nature so these are my comfort zone🥰🥰😍😁🌺🐠🦁🦉💚💙 Thank you!! ### 5/5 — Super jeu *2021-07-18* Tout est là pour passer le long moment pour arriver au bout ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 👍 😁 🍾 💥 *2021-02-15* Another good game from five-bn, highly recommended for story, puzzles, price and HOs that don't bore me to death!!! No glitches on my iPad Air, colourful and pleasant to look at and play, bring on the next one...please. 😎 😷 ### 5/5 — Another great game *2020-06-05* I hope you are still producing these. I have enjoyed every game of yours that I have tried. The art is amazing. Insects, moving water, sounds, everything is so realistic. Makes you feel more like you are on an adventure. The HOPs are so much better than the usual ones. Fun mini games. Great map. And, I like the collectibles, and that they show up on the map. ### 5/5 — Absolutely thrilled at the quality of this game! *2019-01-05* I’ve been playing another developer’s games for over 20 years, and I just found this developer yesterday. I must say, I’m truly amazed and grateful that I found you guys!!!! The quality is soooo much better. And I’m absolutely enjoying it so much more than the quick cranked out games from other game sellers who don’t even support their own games anymore. I am now a brand new fan of FIVE-BN UK LTD! Thank you, and I’ll be buying all the games that you offer(not the free ones that you need to purchase as-you-go, only the paid games.) ### 5/5 — High quality, beautiful and well designed *2018-09-02* The Five-BN games are fantastic. Superb effects and graphics, interesting and original stories, and a variety of challenges. The Darkness & Flame series is no exception. I hope Five-BN keep making games. They have Big Fish beat hollow. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
