Easy to pick up again after some time away too. ### 4/5 — Still good! However... *2019-09-25, version 1.7* I had fond memories playing this game years ago! Glad to see it still works now, although I’ve been frequently running into a bug that causes the entire screen to black out and occasionally crash. ### 5/5 — Originality *2019-01-17, version 1.7* Still a great game. Works fine on iOS 12.1 ### 2/5 — Gros bugs *2017-12-11* Gros bugs iOS 11 iPhone 7 plus ### 5/5 — Support for newest OS years later! *2017-04-09, version 1.7* Thank you debts! This is one of the original classic iOS games and was abandonware for a while. Now it's back!! ### 5/5 — Great game *2017-03-29, version 1.7* Very challenging and tons of content. ### 5/5 — Шикарно *2017-03-16* Спасибо вам большое!!! Очень давно ждал обновления! ### 2/5 — Disappointing Again!! *2017-03-16* It is really a all time 5-star game. No doubt it's a good game but atleast the developers have to move ahead with time. It still doesn't support iPhone 5S & above Screen Size. Don't buy untill it gets updated to a newer supportable version. There are many developers on the AppStore who after getting paid for their apps forgot to update their apps with time with no customer support. This is not good on seller's part. ### 5/5 — A gem of the App Store *2016-12-23, version 1.6* This has always been one of my favorite puzzle games. I'm so happy to see the developer updating it after all these years. Give it a whirl, you won't be disappointed! ### 5/5 — Absolute Empfehlung *2016-12-21* Ein toller Puzzler mit herausforderndem Schwierigkeitsgrad. Fordert Logik, räumliche Vorstellung und Geschicklichkeit. Sehr schön gemacht und originelle Idee. ### 3/5 — Great game, but one big issue *2016-01-08, version 1.5* When is the game going to be optimized to fit the larger screens? The game window is still the size of the iPhone 4s. ### 5/5 — Worth buying... Twice. *2015-12-28, version 1.5* A challenging action-puzzle game punctuated by a very entertaining story with interesting characters. The three campaigns now in the game make this worth every cent! Love this game! ### 5/5 — Capolavoro *2015-12-27, version 1.5* Puzzle game originale, innovativo e divertente, non dovrebbe mancare a nessun possessore di iPhone. ### 5/5 — A mobile favorite *2015-11-04, version 1.5* I bought this game years ago when it was released. I love the style. It's funny. Fun gameplay mechanic. Have been wanting to play it on 6+ and it wouldn't work. Glad to see it back. ### 5/5 — ive been waiting for this update for years... *2015-11-03, version 1.5* this game used to be my entire like. yaaaaas. ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2015-10-24, version 1.5* Best game out. Just brilliant - and the bounties mean that there are always new levels. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Please update *2019-01-18, version 1.7* As per previous review, screen regularly goes blank whilst the music still plays. Annoying since it’s such a great game. Please address. ### 1/5 — PLEASE UPDATE *2018-11-29, version 1.7* Amazing original and addictive game. Unfortunately keeps crashing. Has not been updated for a year Every 2nd or 3rd game the screen goes black and freezes for around 20 seconds. PLEASE PLEASE FIX AND UPDATE. ### 1/5 — Sprache ändern? *2017-12-09* Bei mir startet das Spielin japanisch und ich hab keine Ahnung wie ich das ändern kann 🙄 ### 1/5 — Ancora non ottimizzato per Retina display *2016-12-20, version 1.6* Imperdonabile! Peccato il mio gioco preferito ### 1/5 — Freezing issues! *2015-07-29, version 1.4* Really enjoyable game with interesting puzzles and charm. However, when I select "New Game" on "The Shocking Mire" or "The Frozen North" the game freezes. Music continues to play but the game is completely unresponsive. I'm using an iPhone 5. Please fix! I'll update my review once this happens. ### 1/5 — Garbage - do not buy *2015-07-13, version 1.4* The game now freezes 100% of the time if you try to play anything other than the first level, and help/support is unavailable. A total waste of money. ### 1/5 — Broken *2015-05-05, version 1.4* Does not work for ios8 apparently. ### 1/5 — Broken *2015-04-06, version 1.4* Game loads fine but all the levels are broken, just a solid yellow screen. Wasted money. ### 1/5 — 放置アプリ *2015-03-28* アップデートが放置され、最新のiOSで動きません。注意してください ### 1/5 — This app doesn't work anymore. *2015-03-23, version 1.4* IPhone 5s iOS 8. Doesn't work anymore :-( the old five star review is below. Like a great old glove Hadn't played this one in over two years. ...can't put it down. (now remember why I hid it away in a random folder!) great puzzler! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Un casse-tête original et très réussi ! *2025-03-19* Une difficulté bien dosée et progressive, des graphismes propres et une ambiance réussie: Helsing' Fire est un très bon jeu de réflexion avec un gameplay vraiment original ! ### 5/5 — 今まで一番ハマった *2024-02-13* 一度飽きて消しましたが再ＤＬしました。 一時期世界ランク一位を取った賞金稼ぎモードが無くなってしまったのがとても残念ですが、また最初から地味にプレーしています。 ### 5/5 — Uniquely amazing *2023-03-25, version 1.7* Every few years I return to Helsing’s fire because it’s just such a joy to relive. The puzzle mechanic is not something I’ve seen elsewhere — it’s a very unique game, with an engaging story, witty dialog (and not in a cringe way), beautiful graphics and aesthetic, and amazing soundtrack. A 10/10 masterpiece. ### 5/5 — 動きます *2022-11-11* まともに動作しないレビューで途切れてたので、現在は普通にプレイできますという報告。楽しいです。どこに光を当てるか、どの色を順番に使うか。トニック(色つけるやつ)を投じて一気に敵を殲滅する快感。色の違う的に光が当たると敵が強くなってしまうので、適切なポイントを探し出さなければならない。火を消そうと攻撃してくる敵もいるのでそれを避けるアクション要素も少しある。ストーリーモードが終わるとサバイバルモードが始まり、難易度がここから一気に上がる。かなり難しい。お値段以上の価値。 環境iphone6s ios15.6.1です ### 5/5 — Timeless *2022-10-19, version 1.7* Can’t believe this game still works. Truly a gem and one of iPhone’s first great physics puzzlers. So glad it’s being preserved. ### 5/5 — still great after all these years *2022-08-23, version 1.7* very fun puzzle game ### 5/5 — Still works and still great 10 years later *2022-04-24, version 1.7* Seems to work without problems on my iPhone 13. I love to replay this game for a bit of nostalgia and would LOVE a remake/update. ### 5/5 — Fantastic Puzzle Game *2021-10-15, version 1.7* Ingenious concepts and design, and sounds that fit the schemes perfectly. This is a true gem and one of my top 5 favorite games of all time. ### 5/5 — Great puzzler, funny writing *2020-11-23, version 1.7* This is a great little puzzle game, with a quite funny story. Love how the characters talk. The presentation is very cool too. I love the lighting model and the animations after completion of a level. It’s running great on Big Sur 👍 And it’s be nice to see an update for the screen on the latest phone models too. ### 5/5 — Great game! *2019-10-24* I love light ray manipulative puzzles and naturally I like Hellsings Fire. The art, gameplay, mechanics are executed very well. Add a good story to that BOOM — 5 stars. Caveats: I don’t think I should decrease my score for the screen compatibility issue that it doesn’t run full screen in iPhone 5 and above. It has black bars at the top which don’t affect gameplay at all. Go for it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
