Poor response to the touch screen on lots of ho’s things not hidden in the usual sense just dark patches and lack of response. Shame because with a bit of work could be a five star game. When we are being charged £7.00 a game, you would think these problems would be sorted ### 3/5 — Review *2021-02-12, version 1.0.2* It’s fun to play but the puzzles have no directions to understand what needs to be done. ### 4/5 — error in the game for iPad *2020-06-13, version 1.0.2* I can not get a shield behind Viktor by tapping on it. Because of this, it is impossible to play further. developers, fix the game for iPad, otherwise people are wasting money on buying. ### 3/5 — Great start *2020-04-12, version 1.0.2* Games fun but, you have to hit somethings multiple times for game to acknowledge it was hit. Games fun as heck when not being hung up. Will buy when game issues delt with. Big fish games are my favorite. Always have been always will (most likely....lol) ### 4/5 — Wünschte die Serie wäre fortgesetzt worden *2020-02-29, version 1.0.2* Die Spielreihe hat immer sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Nicht zuletzt auch wegen des Spielcharakters. ### 4/5 — Really good game *2020-02-09, version 1.0.2* The storyline was amazing. Lots of puzzles. Lovely bonus content. ### 2/5 — WHY delete the other Dana Knightstone games? *2020-01-04, version 1.0.2* Why did you guys delete the other games? They were fun! ### 2/5 — Not worth the money *2019-08-25, version 1.0.2* I paid €7.99 for the game after taking advantage of the free trial and wish now that I hadn’t bothered. There are no instructions for the mini games, and so I had to skip several as it wasn’t at all clear what you had to do. Then, when I finished the game it told me that I’d only played for just over 6 hours. Waste of money. ### 2/5 — Not worth it *2019-05-29, version 1.0.2* The game is pretty archaic, had to press the same area several times before I could interact, mini games are either really basic or really hard, reset my progress near the end of the game so had to start again. Wouldn’t buy if i knew what I now know ### 4/5 — Enjoyable game *2019-05-29, version 1.0.2* Fun game I really enjoyed it. No bonus chapter but I bought on sale so that’s ok I guess. Def worth playing but wouldn’t pay full price ### 4/5 — Death and Betrayal *2018-10-10, version 1.0.2* It was not easy finding out what to do next. I would often leave the game and come back to it and try again. ### 4/5 — Enjoyed it very much *2018-07-07, version 1.0.2* I love the Dana Knightstone series. They are relaxing and always have a great story. I had somehow missed this one until now. It was Boomzap games like this one that got me addicted to these iPad games in the first place! I enjoyed it very much. The length was good, and there was a bonus game. The puzzles and games were interesting and sometimes challenging. The game ran just fine on my iPad. The only technical issue I had was that occasionally you had to click and click over and over on an object before the game allowed you to pick it up. That’s the reason I gave it only 4 stars, otherwise, it’s a 5 star game. I’ll play it again. ### 3/5 — Gran *2018-06-30, version 1.0.2* If you click on the highlighted check mark by the word skip in the mini games it gives you the directions for playing the mini game ### 4/5 — Quite a unique game.. *2018-06-13, version 1.0.2* I really liked the fragmented hidden object scenes & the scenes where you had to return items. An enjoyable game. ### 2/5 — Mini games *2018-06-06, version 1.0.2* Why is there no instruction? Hunt and peck is no fun ### 4/5 — Great game *2018-01-29, version 1.0.2* I enjoyed the game. The only things I didn’t like was: some items in the inventory were not identified (very few), and I got stuck, went to the guide, and finally found that I needed to use the ghost dog to proceed. I played on an iPad 2 and it worked great. I don’t understand why so many games have to include the paranormal and witchcraft. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Could not advance *2025-05-13, version 1.0.2* Like others have stated, I could not collect shield #5 in the tower. It assembled fine from the broken pieces, but would not progress further. An email to Help Desk resulted in zero help. The response was that there was no walkthrough to help me, and no refund was offered. Whatever. ### 1/5 — Paying twice *2023-09-10, version 1.0.2* I bought this game a few years ago and have played it several times. Now, in order to play it again, I have to purchase it…again. What’s going on? I thought it was just a glitch with one game. No, four Big Fish games are saying I have not purchased. Sooo disappointing! I like going back to older games and replaying, but I’m not paying for them twice. ### 1/5 — Cannot get the rose by the statue *2019-10-16, version 1.0.2* the rose cannot be removed with the tool. I was able to get all the other roses, just not this one. Very disappointing. :-(. Do you have a fix for this issue! ### 1/5 — Boring . *2019-05-28, version 1.0.2* Very slow , very boring . Lots of bugs . Save your money for a good game , this one is not even ok . Junk ! Garbage ! Trash ! ### 1/5 — 作り手の自己満足 *2018-07-09, version 1.0.2* 久しぶりに出会った、「難しいんじゃ無くて、作り手の脳内だけで成立するミニゲームの数々」に、途中でリタイア。 BigfishのWalkthroughもアテにならず、YouTube動画で２つほどミニゲームをクリアした後、削除した。 何しろ、「クリア出来た理由が分からん」という、意味不明っぷりなんで、ゲームやる意味が無い。 ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2016-10-05, version 1.0.2* The first 3 Knightstone games were great with a good mixture of story and games. The games moved the story forward. They were well thought out and had sufficient instructions. This game however has little story. Games are thrown in seemingly for the sake of shoving in more and more games. Games lack instructions and are not intuitive. The characters in this storyline were definitely unappealing and all but one deserved the wretched lives they had. 1/2 way through I was bored and irritated and just wanted it to be over. ### 1/5 — Schade *2016-07-17, version 1.0.2* Obwohl ich. ein Fan der Knightstone-Titel bin, macht das hier einfach keinen Spass. Ich habe nun zum vierten Mal neu angefangen, da ich ständig an verschiedenen Stellen hänge ( Hase, Sonnenuhr etc..). Nicht dass ich nicht wüsste wie es weitergeht, das Spiel reagiert nicht auf Eingaben oder interpretiert Klicks an andere Stellen. Sehr schade:( ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2016-06-23, version 1.0.2* Is game is not worth the price. There's a glitch and I can only make it about halfway through the game. I'm at the point where I need the 6 trinkets to open the Grand Hall door, but I only have 5 trinkets. The hint thing keeps taking me to the door, but hen says there's nothing more to do there until I collect all the pieces. I even restarted and played through again thinking I missed something, following a walkthrough, and I'm still stuck. ### 1/5 — Very sad, worst game of the series. *2016-02-05, version 1.0.2* I was very disappointed with this game. I have loved all the previous DK games, but this edition is the worst, it seemed to be super glitchy. The information button offers no real info, and you are unable to pick items up even when they are out in the open. I had to skip through most of the mini games because they either would not let me complete them, or the would not assemble correctly, or if I did finish it correctly the would not show as completed. Definitely not worth the $7.00 for this game. I would love if they would overhaul this game so it has the same smoothness as previous editions. ### 1/5 — Dana Knightstone - Death and Betrayal in Romania. *2016-01-17, version 1.0.2* I usually love the Dana Knightstone games. But it certainly has some issues! I've been stuck in the tower ... Can't get the last shield. Where is the telescope and the stick? I paid for the game and can't get any farther along. I know others are having the same problem. Just go to your help page or google it. Please fix this so I can finish the game that I paid for. WELL, I've reloaded and played it yet again and it still is stuck in the 3rd chapter in the falconry towe!!!!!!! Can't get the 5th shield . Really can't do anything! LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE RELAYING THIS TO YOU, but YOU ARE NOT FIXING THE BUG!!! Please fix it as now that I've played the game twice to this point and then am stuck. I would like to be able to finish or be refunded my money. I've so enjoyed the other Dana Knight games and Midnight! Please fix this!!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Dana knightstone *2023-07-26, version 1.0.2* I love these games . I play them a lot especially on big fish games .

The only problem that I had with this one is occasionally I could not click on certain objects that were needed. Other than that small glitch, I had fun with the challenges and story. Please keep making these. ### 5/5 — Schönes altes Schätzchen *2018-07-05, version 1.0.2* Schade, dass die Reihe nicht mehr fortgesetzt wird ### 5/5 — Murder in Romania *2018-02-15, version 1.0.2* Tres bien ! ### 5/5 — Romania *2018-01-24, version 1.0.2* Excellent!! The interaction held you, made you feel like you really were a part of the story. We need more like this !!!! If there is one thing we need in this world it’s happy endings. ### 5/5 — A Dana Knightstone fan! *2017-02-18, version 1.0.2* I have loved every single one of these games in the DK series. I've played them over and over again, enjoying the lovely backgrounds, puzzles and the storyline. Definitely one of the best mystery/hidden object games I've found through big fish. The gameplay is easy and there's plenty of hints with the collector's editions, so that you don't have to worry about getting stuck. I love the story in this one too--just brilliant and completely in line with the others. Can't wait for another one! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
