Not worth the money. If big fish put some effort in instead of phoning it in I’d be happy to pay to play. Give me longer stories and more challenges please ### 3/5 — Frustrating *2020-03-31, version 1.0.0* There were so many issues with game that the best way to describe it is to say, it was very frustrating to play and user unfriendly. ### 2/5 — Good but *2020-01-02, version 1.0.0* Good but some of words are small and difficult to read, also had a problem with some of the items as they seemed to freeze, please fix so I can finish the game ### 3/5 — Glitchy *2019-11-04, version 1.0.0* Very Glitchy - if you touch too close to the edges it shuts down and you have to reopen it - sometimes losing what you just played. Same thing if you touch the screen too many times. Of all the games I played I found this one to be a little monotonous. ### 3/5 — Good game but not so good bonus game *2019-05-21, version 1.0.0* I really liked this game - cool story plot (though that evil dwarf character is so annoying and not scary). Everything worked well until he bonus game. Dragging the right items in the HOs failed (frustrating) but I just gave up and deleted it when there was no puzzle skip on a puzzle I didn't feel like doing. ### 3/5 — Problems with church and dwarf *2018-10-13, version 1.0.0* I had problems with putting the moon together in the hop. Then it finally left me finish, then I got to the church and can’t get passed the dwarf. It’s frozen. I was enjoying the game. Easy and fun. I don’t want to reinstall and start over, afraid it will do the same thing. Would have give more stars if I could have finished the game. ### 4/5 — Not as good as previous games *2018-09-15, version 1.0.0* I found that not all the mini puzzles wanted to play properly. Also not as good and enjoyable as the previous ones with the dwarf. I would think this time the dwarf has now gone, but who knows. ### 3/5 — It’s ok!! *2018-09-13, version 1.0.0* Way to short, puzzles were to easy ### 2/5 — 😒 *2018-08-25, version 1.0.0* Very short game and very boring with to many hos. ### 2/5 — Cursed Gift *2018-08-20, version 1.0.0* I like the game but items are extremely hard to pick up to use in the game. ### 4/5 — Problems with the bonus game *2018-08-20, version 1.0.0* So, I was enjoying the game, by the time I got to the bonus game I had troubles with the safe & the last objective, finding the shapes to complete the picture in the center. Safe-the dial is too small to operate the mini game properly. It also may be a tad too touchy, but I can’t tell due to issue #1. Object-the object used to find the shapes at the very end of the game is way too small to be able to see any of the shapes that I’m looking for. I had to skip both. In case you want to know what I’m using to play, I’m on an iPad. I believe it’s the most recent one available. My software is up to date. Most everything else was great. ### 2/5 — Haunted Legends: Cursed Gift by LynxMinx *2018-08-17, version 1.0.0* NOTE TO CATALINA: Hello, my friend. Today I received a newsletter from Five BN Uk, and supposedly there was a new release from them that we could play using iOS and it could be found on the BigFish game finder app or in the App Store. I couldn’t find it anywhere. It’s supposed to be a new installment in the Lost Lands series. I know you have corresponded with this developer and I was wondering if you know what’s happening here. It was frustrating not to be able to find this game. I am sure many gamers would appreciate the information. Thank you so much! Note to Dracyy, Drosietwo and Corntiques: all of you were correct and spot on in your reviews. It’s nice to know there are other gamers who find rats revolting! Thanks for the heads-up. My question to all of you then becomes: will this developer ever make the improvements to the interface as well as address all of the glitches? I would bet not, but the worst part is that BigFish keeps bringing us games from them. Two were inflicted upon us in the course of a week! Although this game was a slight improvement over the last disaster developed by AMAX Interactive, it was at best an average game. The developer did not give us enough bells and whistles (instantaneous transport, unusual HO scenes and puzzles, a great gameplay interface) and this game seemed extremely dated. The storyline was identical to all others in this series: defeat the nasty dwarf Saint-Germain, who is stealing souls in his relentless quest for immortality. The graphics were terrific. You could customize settings. The teleport map provided slightly delayed transportation between locations. It also had objectives marked, rather than tasks, which I detest, because I want to teleport to a location with something to accomplish. You could collect coins at each location to decorate a haunted house; however I gave up on that because I was not finding coins of different denominations. Inventory was labeled and interactive and there were complex items to assemble. The gimmick was a box for which you must acquire 12 seals; this was necessary to do in order to progress through this game. The gameplay interface was not as tight as in PuppetShow, and I wasn’t constantly back tapping to other locations. AMAX could have lowered it another inch, right above the inventory bar and it would have been preferable. Still, there were touch screen sensitivity issues at play. I had to tap extremely hard to acquire inventory tools and also during the HO scenes. The HO scenes were revisited but at least there was variation. Inventory usage was difficult at times because objects were so tiny. The puzzles and games were mostly simplistic and unoriginal; a few were thought provoking. The puzzles included mostly rotational types, some of skill and dexterity, some codes. The game was an average length inclusive of the bonus adventure. I would like this developer to start reading our reviews and making the necessary changes so that we might rate their games higher than one or two stars. I rounded down my original review because the game was very glitchy! UPDATE: There is a new game due out in two weeks from Artifex Mundi. It is available for pre-order on the App Store. I do not suggest you pre-order because the finished product might differ from the description given by the developer. Wait until it’s released. It’s not like there are limited quantities, lol! At least the genre will be crime, which will be a welcome respite from the usual themes of horror, fantasy and even mythology. Happy gaming everyone! ### 3/5 — Good but small *2018-08-16, version 1.0.0* I enjoyed the game but some of the puzzles and writing were so small it made them difficult to read and forced me to skip parts. It would be good if puzzles and items were made bigger you that you could zoom into. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not a happy bunny *2024-04-12, version 1.0.0* Started off ok but the print is so small it’s impossible to read a lot of it .Also it keeps crashing and then going over the bits I’ve already done. This has happened at least 10 times now. Not good enough especially when I’ve paid £6.99 for a game that doesn’t work! Very very frustrating. ### 1/5 — I can’t access the bonus *2023-10-26, version 1.0.0* Can’t access the bonus ### 1/5 — Rereleased old game as new is a scam! *2019-06-10, version 1.0.0* They have not released a legit ‘new’ game in a year! ### 1/5 — Lazy port *2018-08-15, version 1.0.0* Big Fish Games should be ashamed for bringing this to iOS in such a lazy fashion. The massive blank area of nothing is ridiculous. This is just a money grab which I’ll happily not be a part of. I’ll keep my $4 and maybe the next one won’t be a joke. ### 1/5 — Keeps jamming *2018-08-15, version 1.0.0* Trying to play but it keeps freezing up and kicking me out of the game. ### 1/5 — Lousy Game! Many Negatives! Deserves No Stars, *2018-08-13, version 1.0.0* I only played the free demo. I am so glad that I did not purchase this game. The only positive is a fast refresh rate (5 seconds). Negatives: 1. The bottom one-third of the screen is unusable. It has a red background. Because the usable screen area is drastically reduced, everything is MINUSCULE - inventory items (not labeled), buttons are clustered on the bottom right-hand side (map, collectibles, achievements, etc.). 2. TOUCH SENSITIVITY issues when playing HOPs (I only played one game). 3. TEXT is written in CHARTREUSE (difficult to read). 4. Interactive map is useless. Does not show hidden collectibles or other actions, just flashes available locations. 5. Does not indicate what collectibles to find (no button on the bottom or illustrated on the map). This game is on a par with the latest puppet game!! NOT RECOMMENDED! ### 1/5 — Force closes *2018-08-12, version 1.0.0* Too glitchy ### 2/5 — Great if not for the bugs *2022-05-11, version 1.0.0* I keep trying to play on my iPad but every time I get to a hidden object section the game crashes on me after finding a few objected and Ibhave to go through the intro again and start the hidden object section again. Sometimes I have to do this three or four times hoping I'll get to the end or I just give up and press skip to get past it. ### 2/5 — Not happy *2021-08-13, version 1.0.0* I could give it more stars if only I could see it properly. You must think I have binoculars for eyes. Shame it’s also very dark. Glad I haven’t paid for it.. I should have taken notice of the other reviews, who said exactly the same. ### 2/5 — Crashes *2021-01-26, version 1.0.0* The game crashes regularly and has an annoying tendency to drag on and on. Not one of Big Fish’s best. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So much fun! *2026-01-29, version 1.0.0* One of the best games I’ve ever played ### 5/5 — Big fish *2021-07-23, version 1.0.0* I love it ### 5/5 — Great game. Back to game. Lol *2020-08-05, version 1.0.0* E ### 5/5 — Genuinely creepy 😁 *2020-06-27, version 1.0.0* So far I’m really enjoying this game. There was even one moment that actually spooked me out a bit and I’m used to the story being a little too tame. Hopefully it continues in the same vein....... ### 5/5 — Enjoying *2020-06-15, version 1.0.0* Good stuff ### 5/5 — Cursed Gift *2018-08-16, version 1.0.0* I have been playing your games for years and they get better and better. Really enjoying. Key West Jessa ### 4/5 — Premium *2020-03-03, version 1.0.0* Good. ### 4/5 — Great game *2019-11-12, version 1.0.0* Interesting storyline and lots of hops. Could have been a bit longer and also some of the writing and objects were small and hard to grab but enjoyable game. 4 stars from me. ### 4/5 — Good. *2018-10-15, version 1.0.0* Found it a little short, but good. Good riddance to St. Germaine. ### 4/5 — Nice, but! *2018-10-10, version 1.0.0* I’m playing on my iPad & there is a lot of wasted space with the red area at bottom. Would be better without that. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
