Disappointed ! ### 4/5 — Great game *2024-02-10* Really good length and complexity. Did get a glitch and had to delete and reload the game but it didn’t occur again. Only quibble is there are no instructions on how to play mini games and what the objectives are, so had to skip some of them. The game is very reasonably priced. ### 3/5 — Betrayal *2023-02-08, version 1.0.0* There are no directions for puzzles. ### 4/5 — Super Reihe *2020-12-12, version 1.0.0* Ich liebe solche Spiele und diese Reihe ist super. Ich finde es nur schade, dass ich die anderen spiele nicht mehr auf meinem neuen iPad spielen kann. Hoffe das die Entwickler die anderen Apps bald aktualisieren damit man sie auch mit der neuen Software spielen kann. Die Spiele machen einfach so großen Spaß. ### 2/5 — Komme nicht mehr weiter *2019-03-19, version 1.0.0* Komme an der Stelle im Turm nicht mehr weiter , das eine Schutzschild was ich zusammen suchen musste lässt sich nicht aufnehmen🙈sehr ärgerlich .... ### 4/5 — Wishing *2018-09-10, version 1.0.0* I really like the Dana Knightstone series but I wish you would update the older ones so I can replay them. ### 2/5 — Fehlerhafte Oberfläche *2018-06-11, version 1.0.0* Eigentlich ein schönes Spiel. Leide ist die Oberfläche sehr buggy. Ich hänge an einer Stelle fest und kann ein angebotenes Artefakt nicht nehmen. Damit ist das Spiel hier zu Ende. Schade und das für Geld! ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2018-04-03, version 1.0.0* Actual play is fair to good, but interrupted by far too many whole screen ads from Big Fish. The bonus chapter is virtually unplayable because a persistent banner ad completely obscures the tool tray. Execrable situation for a fully-paid app. ### 3/5 — Need updates *2017-11-14, version 1.0.0* I love the dana knightston games but the older games need to be updated before i can download them to my newer device. If u update them so i can play them again I’ll keep buying ur games. ### 3/5 — Very disappointed *2017-11-02* Because all the other Dana Knightstone games have been removed. I can’t find them in my downloads. Even though I paid for them. Please bring them back. It was my favourite out of the bunch of games. ### 4/5 — V engaging *2017-10-31* I like the Dana Knightstone series and I really enjoyed this one. Some nice mini games, one or two of which I need to practice! I hit one glitch where I accidentally clicked out of a puzzle and couldn’t then pick up a key object on going back into it, so had to start the whole game again. This was not too far along in the story, but nonetheless annoying, hence not given 5 stars. ### 3/5 — Tolles Spiel.... *2016-04-26, version 1.0.0* Spiele die Knightstone-Reihe nun schon zum 3. durch. Die letzten beiden Teile fand ich nicht sooo gut wie die anderen davor. Wird es einen weiteren Teil geben? Würde mich riesig freuen; aber dann bitte im alten Stil ;) :) ### 4/5 — Nett *2016-03-14, version 1.0.0* Zu spielen ### 4/5 — Very Intriguing story line *2016-03-14, version 1.0.0* Loved it! As always too short haha. Can't wait for the next Dana Knightstone! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Impossibile sbloccare acquisto-Impossible to restore in-app purchase *2024-03-19, version 1.0.0* Gioco molto bello. Dopo qualche anno dal mio acquisto in-app non posso più giocare perché il mio acquisto non esiste più. Questo problema si estende a tutti i giochi acquistati tramite acquisto in-app da Big Fish Games. Ho provato a contattare l’assistenza e l’unico aiuto che ho ricevuto è stato ricevere consigli su come scaricare e ripristinare acquisti su PC con sistema operativo windows (dopo aver specificato più volte che i miei problemi erano relativi ad iPhone ed iPad). Assistenza veramente pessima!!! Se deciderete di acquistare giochi da Big Fish Games tramite acquisti in-app sappiate che, un giorno, potreste non essere in grado di sbloccarli. Very beautiful game. After some years it’s impossibile to unlock the game i’ve previously bought by in-app purchase. I’ve the same problem with every game i’ve bought by in-app purchase from Big Fish Games. I’ve tried to contact Big Fish Games support but i’ve only received help for windows PC games (i’ve many times specified that my problems were about iPhone and iPad). Very bad support!!! You have to know that if you’ll decide to buy games from Big Fish Games by in-app purchase you’ll may not able to unlock your games after some times. ### 1/5 — Keeps on authenticating and not unlocking *2021-07-22, version 1.0.0* Bought the game but it is stuck at “authenticating” and not unlocking the game. So, i can’t proceed. Please refund me back my money ### 1/5 — Betrayal *2021-03-06, version 1.0.0* Some of the mini games were too difficult, game kept freezing on my iPad and I had to restart 4 times. Game story was hard to follow. Paid $2.00 for the game from an advertisement. Your website wanted $7.00. ### 1/5 — Bug im Turm *2019-09-08, version 1.0.0* Leider kann man das Spiel nicht beenden. Das Schutzschild lässt sich nicht aufnehmen. ### 1/5 — Don't bother! *2017-07-19* I love the other Dana Knightstone games but this is no good. After a while you get stuck at a part where you have to collect 5 shields and you can only get 4, so you can't complete. I've seen other reviews saying the same thing from 2 years ago so obviously Big Fish aren't bothering to fix it. I'm trying to get a refund now. Don't waste your money. ### 1/5 — Super glitchy, Zero stars *2016-08-30, version 1.0.0* Several things don't work: 1) cut scenes are blank. I can hear most of the dialogue but no visuals; 2) trying to put puzzle pieces together and the don't recognize it's correct spot; 3) Luciens story: won't let me grab last shield; 4) posted in website forum month ago and no views (not including my own), let alone helpful responses. I want my money back! ### 1/5 — Dana Knightsen betrayal in Rome *2016-01-31, version 1.0.0* Terrible! Clues are vague. Highly disappointing for a Dana Knightson game. Will not buy the game. ### 1/5 — Arnaque *2016-01-05, version 1.0.0* Impossible de continuer à jouer après l'achat qui ne se met pas à jour. J'ai payé et ne peux jouer .... Un seul mot! ARNAQUE ### 1/5 — Worst of the Knightstone Series *2015-06-15, version 1.0.0* Loved all the Dana Knightstone games but this one was a huge disappointment. Played about half of this game and then quit was not fun or entertaining like the others. No directions for puzzles/mini games. Did not like the dog that is used for help. Guidance option did not work and had no clue what to do for most of the game. So upset that they went and ruined the series. ### 1/5 — Game breaking glitch! *2015-06-11, version 1.0.0* I was enjoying this until it glitched out horribly and wouldn't allow me to progress. Even looked at the guide and I was doing everything right. NOT IMPRESSED. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — More! *2024-12-10* Years ago I downloaded and paid for all the Dana Knightstone games. My phone was running out of space so I deleted them. I’ve searched on the App Store for them again and can’t find the apps!!!! Where can I find the apps for my IPHONE to download again!!!! LOVE these games! ### 5/5 — Amazing game! *2023-10-22* I’ve played so many of these games multiple times but this one is my personal favorite. It’s challenging and I love a good challenging game. I am so happy that I found this. ### 5/5 — Had alot of fun *2021-10-12* Would love to be able to play the older games in the series again :) ### 5/5 — What happened to the rest of them? *2021-06-22* I bought the others with my own money death at fairing point and the cape puerto I see only one?! Can someone please tell me what happened? And understand please!!! Don’t listen to the people who put useless stars!!! I played with all of them You people put them back on here this is the reason why I played these games My sister who passed away from stage 4 cancer and she liked those kinds of games And me? Well I will be happy to have them again Plus I don’t see the rest of them on the computer ### 5/5 — Spannend *2018-11-21, version 1.0.0* Spannendes Spiel ### 5/5 — Love Dana! *2018-03-08* I love these games, and Dana the protagonist is fab. I’m really sad to see my other purchased games in this series are no longer supported. I hope the developer will pick this series up again, and include more women in the stories this time (90% of the other characters in the games were men, not very reflective of real life!). ### 5/5 — Fun story! *2018-01-20, version 1.0.0* Enjoyed it. Bring on the next Dana Knightstone! ### 5/5 — Loved it. Want more *2017-12-09* I loved it. I love all the Dana Knightstone games that have been released. I would like to see some more and in response to another review, there is a bonus chapter if you just hit play after you complete the actual game. ### 5/5 — Sehr spannend *2016-03-08, version 1.0.0* Macht wirklich Spaß, ist knifflig und eine tolle Beschäftigung! ### 5/5 — Eine fantasievolle Geschichte *2016-03-07, version 1.0.0* WBS mal abgewandelt, Karte zum wechseln der Schauplätze vorhanden und die Aufgaben lösbar. Sehr gute Grafik, mit Schauplatzwechsel durch die Zeit. Das Spiel hat eigentlich mehr Sterne verdient.😊😊😊😊 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
