Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Where is 5? *2024-09-24, version 1.0.7* We must see how this ends! where is five possibly six! ??? ### 5/5 — Excellent content *2024-09-24* I've played every title from this developer and I'm so pleased to say they've never disappointed me. This particular game is an amazing story and I do hope that they continue the series as they did with Lost Lands. ### 5/5 — Keeps on entertaining you *2024-08-27, version 1.0.7* Great series of adventures, really good graphics and game play, makes you think a little more than others. Also includes a great variety of mini games and new types.. won’t spoil it. Well done ### 5/5 — More Alice please!!! *2024-06-21, version 1.0.7* Please continue the story of Alice reconnecting with her friends and finding her uncle!!!! I’m addicted to all of your games. Such good graphics and so interesting! ### 5/5 — Fantastic puzzles *2024-05-18, version 1.0.7* Challenging if doable puzzles, great graphics and music. Probably my favourite Five-Bn, though New York series has good storyline. ### 5/5 — Best one yet! *2024-04-17, version 1.0.7* I love these games! I have played several of these Five BN puzzle games and this is the best one so far. They are so engaging and I really enjoy playing them. The art is absolutely gorgeous too, they really are a class act, thank you so much for all your hard work! ### 5/5 — Cant wait for part 5!! *2024-04-17, version 1.0.7* I have played all these games, they are the best around. Interesting story, great animation, fun mini games, and the energy/hint structure is so satisfying. Keep up the good work!! ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2024-04-04, version 1.0.7* I have enjoyed all of these Darkness and Flame games but this one is definitely the best. Just a wonderful all round game. ### 5/5 — Brilliant Series *2024-03-28* I love these games so much I’ve played them multiple times. When can we expect the next entry in the series? I can’t wait to see where Alice goes next! ### 5/5 — Darkness and Flame *2024-01-28, version 1.0.7* Every single game by Five-BN is great. Thoroughly enjoyed playing through them all. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-01-18, version 1.0.7* Game was amazing as always! Thank you for the quality of game you put out! ### 5/5 — Another brilliant series of games *2023-11-09, version 1.0.6* I have played many of this developers games. They get better every time. Cannot rate these games high enough for a genuinely free to play game. No waiting for energy that halts the game which I have experienced on other games. The graphics are good. Story lines are excellent with great script and voices. Which really engage you in the game. Plus the variety of the puzzles keep you engaged and challenged. I don’t often write review for anything. But I have for these games as they truly deserve it. ### 5/5 — Amazing Title *2023-11-06, version 1.0.6* As usual, amazing one! ### 5/5 — Wonderful game *2023-10-12* Great animation; great puzzles; interesting story. This is true for all Five-BN games! While waiting for your next release, I decided to play Darkness and Flame again. It is still fun. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! The high-quality implementation of new projects takes some time because we want to please our favorite players with new products as soon as possible! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Chapter 10 horrible bug *2025-03-18, version 1.0.7* I made it all the way to Chapter 10 only to be unable to select the 5th puzzle piece on a find all of the objects puzzle. As a result, for the first time in playing any of your games, am unable to complete. Your studio is excellent except for this game-breaking bug. ### 1/5 — Dumb *2024-09-26, version 1.0.7* This game is dumb. The directions are vague and need to pay for “hints” that are unhelpful. ### 1/5 — Impossible *2023-10-31, version 1.0.6* You will need a lot of $$$$$$$$$$ to just get to the first screen ### 1/5 — 😡Bee, Butterfly & Fly Puzzle *2022-08-21, version 1.0.5* The limited and obscure directions for this puzzle did not enable me to get anywhere near completion. After 45 minutes of fruitless frustration, I gave up on the entire game. ### 1/5 — Not good *2022-08-16, version 1.0.5* I am normally like five bn games. But this one is trash. The mini games make no sense, it’s outdated, glitchy and generally unpleasant to play.Plus the token system is absolute crap. I prefer games that have one option and that is to buy the full game after playing the demo. This format is not for me. And many others share my same feelings on this. The only winners are the Game developers. Not the customer. I was only going to play a little bit anyway as I do not purchase tokens or credits. but I thought I would warn you folks that are OK with that payment system. Do not waste your time with this one. But this company does have some good ones. ### 1/5 — Weakest of the 4 seasons, many bad puzzles and action parts *2022-04-23, version 1.0.5* I like Five- bn games a lot except this one. As with the last and 7th of Lost Lands, this last 4th of darkness + flames is not worth playing. Many puzzles are wrong and not working, illogical or just stupid trial and error. And the action. Parts are horrible and should not be part of a puzzle game. Bummer, the other 3 episodes were great, this one is not. ### 2/5 — Love the story line, but *2022-10-15, version 1.0.5* The mini games in part 4 are waaaayyyyy too difficult for a 9+ yo rating. I keep spending coin to bypass them. Not fun. ### 3/5 — Good game but bugged *2024-12-27, version 1.0.7* I’m on the last one and have really enjoyed this series. However the last game is bugged. I can’t get past the bug puzzle in the house and it’s playing random advert noise in the background. I don’t fancy starting all over again either ### 3/5 — What happened to honey spoon? *2024-08-31* I have had this game for a while and played before, however this time when I get to collecting the honey spoon in tree its not there. I have the paw but there is no recess. Confused! And yes I have updated the app. Cant finish the game, so close to the end. Dont really want to delete and upload again. Just a pain. **Developer response:** Good day, please email us at support@fivebngames.com for sharing more information. Thank you! ### 3/5 — Decent *2022-12-15* Game was decent but I played all the other flame and darkness the change of the storyline really bothered me I download them mainly because of the storyline so Medusa’s coming out of no where I don’t see why she had to be brought into the story The first five minutes of the game were cool but when you made the whole game about her it was annoying **Developer response:** Good day! It's a pity you didn't like it! Thanks for playing. We hope you enjoy our other games more! Have a nice day! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fabulous game *2026-06-18* Great story. Fun puzzles ranging from fairly easy to challenging. Animation is wonderful and graphics beautiful. I love all your games. This series has one of the best stories. Thank you so much for all your care and effort. I am eagerly (and as patiently as I can) for the continuation of this wonderful story line! Thank you for the additions to tricky doors, artifact seekers, and the new chapters to lost lands and legendary tales. Five-BN has totally spoiled me for adventure, hidden objects, solve the puzzle games. I tried, but nothing compares to your quality. So, I will be patient. I know that you have a lot going on in Ukraine. My heart is with you. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! The high-quality implementation of new projects takes some time because we want to please our favorite players with new products as soon as possible! ### 5/5 — Beautiful Visuals & Audio *2026-01-31* This game is one of this team’s best so far. As usual, I loved the art, the visuals, the ambient soundtrack, the music the story and the puzzles. I especially like the musical soundtrack for this one and the set of voice actors was one of the best so far. I especially liked the voice actors for the male characters—old and young. They were some of the best-sounding and more-natural ones I’ve heard in these games yet. Love it! ### 5/5 — When is Darkness and Flame 5 coming out? *2025-07-25, version 1.0.7* I loved Darkness and Flame 1-4. I played the series again and still LOVE it. Please create the rest of the series. Finish the story. Thank you for a wonderful and great game. ### 5/5 — I like em *2025-04-28, version 1.0.7* Five BN are the go to games for me atm. Have been for the last 12 months ! ### 5/5 — Hoping for the adventure to continue!! *2025-04-21* Love your games & format is awesome. Played some of your newer games & wasn’t thrilled with the changes. Loved Lost Lands 10. Hope to see something new soon. ### 5/5 — Darkness and FUN!!! *2025-03-27, version 1.0.7* I really enjoy all the "Darkness and flames" serie! I wich a sequel will be available soon! ### 5/5 — Darkness and Flame 5? *2025-03-13, version 1.0.7* I love your games, especially this series! Will there be a fifth edition? 🤩 ### 5/5 — Fabulous game *2025-03-06* Great story. Fun puzzles ranging from fairly easy to challenging. Animation is wonderful and graphics beautiful. I love all your games. This series has one of the best stories. Thank you so much for all your care and effort. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! The high-quality implementation of new projects takes some time because we want to please our favorite players with new products as soon as possible! ### 5/5 — One of the best! *2025-03-02, version 1.0.7* Not too hard not too easy and not too short. Perfect combination in my opinion. ### 5/5 — Love Fivebn games!! *2025-02-03* I’m a big fan of adventure puzzle games and imo fivebn has the very best ones. Out of all their games my favorite has been the Darkness and Flame, Enemy in Reflection Collectors Edition. The story line is really great. I’ve played almost all their other adventure puzzle games but this one is the best. The animation is done so well. Some of their other games lacked a little in this area mainly when characters spoke, it didn’t look very realistic and the inflection in the characters voices were a little off. They seemed to have fixed those issues though and I’m so thankful that they did. I actually like fivebn so much that it’s hard for me to play adventure puzzle games from other developers. My only complaint is that I wish there were even more games because I think I’ve played almost every single one— and they do have a lot. I also could be spending wayyy too much time on my phone 🙃 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
