This one is no exception. Only gave 4 stars as some of the games didn't work well or instructions were vague. Overall, very fun game! ### 5/5 — Favorite game ever *2016-10-24, version 1.0.2* Compelling story. Never boring. The characters had real personalities. Going between two worlds was fun. Story book sequences absolutely gorgeous. Try this one. ### 5/5 — Great game. *2016-07-06, version 1.0.2* The game was fun to play. It has great graphics, and a good story line. ### 5/5 — Nevertales 3 *2016-05-12, version 1.0.2* Great game-Love it! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2016-04-26, version 1.0.2* I am crazy for Mad Head Games! This one is not super easy, folks. You actually have to use your brain just a little bit in some places. Not that it was hard, just not your typical boring HO game. Thank you, Mad Head!! PS it's worth it to watch the end credits just for the dancing knight. Gave me a good chuckle! ### 5/5 — Good game! *2016-04-07, version 1.0.2* Enjoyed it😊 ### 5/5 — Awesome *2016-01-19, version 1.0.2* Well worth the money! Can't wait for more I have all the nevertales games so far and I have not had any trouble with sound, or downloading etc. Great job! ### 4/5 — Never land smoke and mirrors *2016-01-13, version 1.0.2* I thought this game was very interesting,but there seems to be no way to go back and redo sections to enable the last card challenge. ### 5/5 — Never tales: Smoke & Mirrors *2016-01-13, version 1.0.2* Loved this game! ### 3/5 — Uninspiring at best *2016-01-06, version 1.0.2* There's nothing wrong with this game, it's just boring. Somehow it seems to try too hard to be a bit 'different' but it doesn't work. Not for me. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Neverless tales smoke and mirrors *2019-06-11, version 1.0.2* This game was convoluted with many problems. Hints and hidden objects very hard to look and was not a fun and comfortable game to play. I had purchased it some time ago but had to purchase full price the second time. Assumed it would be a good hidden object game but it was miserable. ### 1/5 — Purchase not found *2019-04-17, version 1.0.2* Again tells me purchase not found when I have bought and played this game before. BF now does this regularly, THIS IS A SCAM ### 1/5 — Typing don’t work *2018-08-25, version 1.0.2* The typing in the game not working for the first puzzle it won’t let me type. In the answer none let me change the name at the beginning, uninstalled the game then installed it again then tells me I need to buy again when I already brought the unlocked game.. not happy ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2017-09-04, version 1.0.2* Love this series, but the glitch that won't let me enter player name for this series, now prevents me from entering a computer password in the first scene. Can't skip, so I can't continue the game. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2017-08-14, version 1.0.2* Glad I didn't pay for this one - when it got to point where I had to enter a password the game refused to allow me to type so I had to give up ### 1/5 — Couldn't Type In Game *2017-04-19, version 1.0.2* Couldn't Type In Game... Therefore in the beginning scene in the office I couldn't type the password to get into the computer. I also couldn't skip it either. Please update the game! I really wanted to play this! ### 1/5 — Snoozer *2016-04-20, version 1.0.2* Confusing and odd unhelpful hints. More frustrating than anything so very disappointing ### 1/5 — No sound bad game *2015-11-29, version 1.0.2* I paid for this game and the game said no sound card detected. I get music only no voices. My iPad woks fine just a bad game. To abstract for me. Normally I like Big Fish games and play almost all of them; not this one. I don't like the new method of paying without a trial. Try giving us a choice so others in my family can play if the trial is good. ### 1/5 — ?? *2015-11-15, version 1.0.2* 10.99 - bit steep isn't it? ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work *2018-05-26, version 1.0.2* Some things don’t work. The guide leaves out steps so I can’t go on. Explanations are missing, pictures are missing and instructions are missing. Could be a great game, but I don’t like this. Why do we have to depend on the guide to do everything? I’ve wasted a lot of time and can’t go on. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Big fish *2024-05-27, version 1.0.2* I love it ### 5/5 — Great! *2023-09-08, version 1.0.2* This is the third never tails game I have played, and I like all of them so far. Wonderful graphics and I love the music. I think the voice overs are great too. The voices match the character that is speaking. I plan to play the whole series. ### 5/5 — Fresh challenges *2022-11-18, version 1.0.2* Finally a game with fresh ideas. Sluger#1 ### 5/5 — Engaging and fun *2021-08-03, version 1.0.2* This is one of the best I have played in a long time, the story keeps you interested the game is nice and long. And colourful beautiful graphics. The mini games are not easy mostly, but they are all different and keeps your interest i'm sad I finished it! More please ### 5/5 — Big fish *2019-10-03, version 1.0.2* I love it ### 5/5 — Top notch *2019-08-01, version 1.0.2* Mad Head games are almost always wonderful. Great graphics, clever puzzles, humour, and interesting characters and storyline. My favorite is the Nevertales series, with its many references to Alice in Wonderland and a plausible reason for there to be alternative worlds (well, as plausible as one can get given the premise.) Yes, the map could have been easier to get to, but that’s trivial compared to the rest. I often find myself getting a bit bored and thus impatient to get a game over with, but I enjoyed every minute of this one. ### 5/5 — 5 star game *2019-07-07, version 1.0.2* Amazing graphics. Great bonus game too. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Game *2019-06-11, version 1.0.2* Nice game ### 5/5 — Love Madhead games! *2018-02-18, version 1.0.2* Perfectly smooth game with stunning artwork and a real fantastical story. Imaginative hidden object scenes too. I found myself skipping a few puzzles, but I am quite impatient and I wasn’t keen on having to go into the “tablet” for clues whilst doing some of the puzzles as I found this a nuisance. Fantastic extras, and lots of game to play! ### 5/5 — EXCELLENT GAME 💕 *2017-01-10, version 1.0.2* Interesting and easy to follow storyline with gorgeous graphics and atmosphere, great cut scenes, smooth gameplay and unobtrusive music. There's a nice mix of easy/tricky puzzles and the HOS aren't boring. Plenty of morphs and collectables - if you miss any you can replay scenes at the end to find them. There are loads of extras - casino games, treasure hunt, jigsaw puzzle etc. Even the credits were different - loved the moon walk! Very enjoyable and will play again. 😍 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
