Sometimes it slows a little. What I don’t like is that the picture is so dark sometimes. Some other games have bright colors and pictures. Also, I would like to have a strategy guide if I get really stuck. ### 4/5 — Жадины *2018-06-04, version 1.0.0* На танки копите ? ### 4/5 — Kingmaker - rise of a great game! *2018-06-01, version 1.0.0* Rating: 3.5 stars bumped up to 4 stars I confess - this is the first Artifex Mundi game that I’ve purchased since they hiked the prices up. But the demo reeled me in and I was hooked. It’s a fairly straightforward game and the storyline is a bit obvious, but I thought it was still well-done and entertaining. You get standard HOS mixed with interactive ones (note that when you see “barb” on the list, it’s really a comb you are looking for!). There are morphing king coins in each scene to find. Transportable map and custom mode of play round out the options. I wasn’t able to find a strategy guide but it wasn’t really needed. Also note that if you want to get all of the dialogue, you need to be patient and not tap the screen to “continue”; just wait until the lines stop appearing. I’m used to tapping the screen to get the next line of dialogue, but it appears automatically. My one complaint is that the mini-game of tracing the lines between dots needed to defeat an opponent gets old fast, and I ended up skipping the last few. Upcoming Games: (# stars is average review on BigFishGames.com for the PC or Mac version, date is the day the game was released via Big Fish - usually for PC or Mac) Donna Brave: Paris Strangler (4.4 stars, Mad Head, Aug. ‘17) Witch’s Tales (3.8 stars, Shaman, Oct. ‘17) ### 3/5 — Too short *2018-05-30, version 1.0.0* Normally I would give your games 5 stars but first I was disappointed that males were the hero’s, I prefer females. But the reason I gave it only 3 stars is because it cost a lot and was very short. Have noticed all your games are getting short. Used to really love cause they lasted for a while. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 번역발로했나요 *2018-06-16, version 1.0.0* 번역 발로했나요 대화는 그렇다쳐도 물건들이나 숨은그림찾기에 쌩뚱맞은 이름들로 게임은할수가없네요 환불해주세요 ### 1/5 — Disapointed *2018-06-01, version 1.0.0* Don't waste your money! Way to short and easy! I usually love artifex games this is a dud! ### 1/5 — 👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿 *2018-05-30, version 1.0.0* Очень дорого!!! Играйте сами!!! ### 2/5 — 재미있는데...번역한놈 나와라 *2018-06-05, version 1.0.0* 시리즈로 거의다 구매했는데 이거 번역한놈 누구니? 진짜 혼난다 ### 3/5 — Reasonable game *2019-04-21, version 2.0.4* I enjoyed the game not too taxing on the brain. But the collectibles didn’t work, I collected in all the scenes but they hardly registered in the game itself. With the marker constantly showing as 0 when I had collected several. Obviously a glitch in the game and sadly no way at the end to see if the supposedly outstanding ones could be collected. 5 collectibles out of 29, no sorry I had all of them. ### 3/5 — Middle of the road 🤴🏻 *2019-01-15, version 2.0.2* Started quite well with lovely graphics but soon became quite repetitive and a bit boring. There's no innovation in the fight scenes which are all exactly the same throughout and the HOS are mostly lists. There aren't many puzzles which are quite easy and the voice acting isn't great. It all seemed a bit "wooden". Glad I only paid the sale price. 🙁 ### 3/5 — Not great *2018-07-04, version 1.0.0* Story and graphics were good, but the game was not fluid. And it just sort of ended. You can’t go back and find things you missed. ### 3/5 — Kingmaker by LynxMinx *2018-06-05, version 1.0.0* Once again my full review was deleted and I am not writing another one. I think it was deleted because I warned so many players about purchasing it. I was offended that we were charged such a hefty price tag for such a short game. I found this game dull and overly simplistic. It was more geared towards a child! The graphics all looked the same to me, there was very little variety in the HO scenes and the puzzles/games were either extremely easy or very repetitive (fighting characters over and over again! The developer gave us the basic bells and whistles but nothing further. My true review is 2.5 stars! ### 3/5 — Too expensive *2018-06-05* I enjoy the free play part of the games, but cannot bring myself to pay $9.99 for a game. I am a big fan of Artifex Mundi, but the price tag is too steep for me. ### 3/5 — The "Makers": "Doesn't Rise To The Occasion!" *2018-05-31, version 1.0.0* This developer has created a decent production — an interesting storyline, beautiful artwork, and entertaining gameplay. It's a breath of fresh air to play from a male's perspective, which is a seldom opportunity. It's relieving to me that I am not in pursuit of and stalked by a faceless, hooded supernatural entity, with red-piercing eyes and razor-sharp fangs. Instead, this intriguing plot takes us back to the medieval ages, to a kingdom whose royal glory is in jeopardy due to acts of betrayal, conspiracy, remorse, murder, and revenge. Along this journey, you will encounter almost-all-male characters whose appearances fit the time period: steel armored knights, carrying swords and wearing helmets. The environments appropriately represent the medieval times: ambushed villages, tarnished by the disturbing sights of the dead bodies of knights, killed in battle, as they lay strewn across the grounds; high-rise fortresses, surrounding the towns, with cobble-stone streets winding around, and rivers flowing through the gate-like moats; narrow underground tunnels, leading to prison cells — hiding the skeletal remains of tortured victims — and to torture chambers containing gruesome devices. The graphics are mostly well-textured and crisp, with keen attention to the many fine details. The special effects — occasional haunting howls and falling rain — add a suspenseful edge. The gameplay delivers an even balance between HOSs and puzzles. The varied HOSs are creative and sometimes story-driven. I like the map scene in which you use a magnifying glass to zoom up on different areas on the map to find items within each area. The assorted puzzles are thematically rendered; most are too simple for my taste — a continuing trend from this developer. I'm not a fan of repetitive puzzles, but I like the recycled one in this game. The collectibles will morph, so you need to glance around the scenes for several moments to discover them. I have not encountered any glitches; gameplay is smooth. Now come the drawbacks. The entire game is offensively short, even with the bonus chapter. I like taking my time while playing, avoiding skipping puzzles — which is typically unnecessary in this publisher's games due to their simplicity — and refraining from using hints. When I finished the game, I felt like I had just started it; therefore, the length of the game does not justify the hefty price of the game. Furthermore, I remember seeing a singular "worthy-to-be-counted" female character in the entire game — the Queen. This is a male-dominated game, thus detracting from overall character diversity. For these two reasons, my true rating is 3.5 stars; however, I can't forgive the ridiculous price of the game for the unacceptable length of playtime, and hence the 3-star rating. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Big fish *2020-12-03, version 2.1.0* I love it ### 5/5 — Kings Heir. *2019-11-02, version 2.0.5* Loved this game.

The puzzles were challenging which was great. Some of the timeline of the tools you find didn’t quite make sense with the tasks required, but that was my only complaint. Really enjoyed it! ### 5/5 — Endless fables 3 *2018-07-30, version 1.0.0* Das Spiel Endless fables 3 Das Dunkelmoor kann nicht geladen werden das Spiel ist nicht im App Store dadurch kann ich es nicht laden ### 5/5 — Bello *2018-07-03, version 1.0.0* Eccezionale ### 5/5 — Big Nanna 65. *2018-06-19, version 1.0.0* Thank you for such a beautiful game.

Die Aufgaben sind lösbar, auch wenn man hin und wieder sein Gehirn benutzen muss. Die Geschichte ist stimmig und die WBS sind auch nicht schlecht. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Very Disappointed *2018-05-31, version 1.0.0* I was excited to play a new game from Artifex, this game was awful. Don’t waste time or money on this one. And six dollars is a crime ### 4/5 — Etwas kurz *2020-10-27, version 2.1.0* Die Serie ist eigentlich sehr gut, aber dies Spiel ist sehr schnell durch gespielt. Es hat aber alles was man sich wünscht. 🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐️ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
