The game is good, but the games are hard to play because the instructions are not written well.

It’s a fun game to pass your time.

### 4/5 — Tougher than usual

*2021-10-04, version 1.0.0*

I’ve been playing these games for a while now (casual), but this one seemed much more difficult for a new of casual player. I especially had a problem with the HOPs.

### 4/5 — Audio and graphics

*2021-09-30, version 1.0.0*

Soon after I started the audio stop and the graphics are a bit blurry. Hope you can fix these issues.

### 4/5 — Man, wie alt!

*2021-09-26, version 1.0.0*

Hab es jetzt, nach 4-5 Jahren für 2,99€ gekauft.
Spiel ok.  Man sammelt Flaschen, Chamäleonobjekte und einzelne Atztekensachen um Bonusspiele zu bekommen.
Für den Preis ist das Spiel gut.

### 3/5 — 課金さえなければ

*2020-02-04, version 1.0.0*

サクサク行けますが、それ以上先だと課金が必要になって来るのが難点。

### 3/5 — 面白かった

*2019-05-08, version 1.0.0*

面白かったけど、移動が多い。
アイテム一つ毎に部屋移動って、だんだん疲れて来ます。

### 5/5 — Loved Leviathan!

*2018-07-08, version 1.0.0*

Good balance HOP to games. Games were great. Graphics are nice too.

### 5/5 — Wonderful game

*2018-05-16, version 1.0.0*

Even let’s you go back and find collectibles after you finished. Enjoyed very much.

### 5/5 — Klasse Spiel!

*2018-04-08, version 1.0.0*

Spannend gemacht mit guten Schauplätzen. Ließ sich flott durchspielen. Länge prima. Interessante Minigames, manchmal fast ein bisschen zu schwer, fand ich. Wimmler, Sammelobjekte etc. - alles bestens.

### 5/5 — 最近の中で

*2018-04-07, version 1.0.0*

1番面白い🤣

### 5/5 — Awesome game!

*2018-02-11, version 1.0.0*

loved it!

### 4/5 — Great game!

*2017-11-27, version 1.0.0*

I thought this was a great game. Nice and long. Very interesting, different and challenging puzzles too. Story was a little ho hum but a nice hunt. Wish there was a link to other puzzles of the same caliber. Thank you!

### 5/5 — There are more of these? Whoa.

*2017-09-20, version 1.0.0*

Boy, have I been missing out if this is an indication of the quality of the rest of this series. This is a great game. The bonus game is shorter, but just as good in quality. The Extras have extra hidden object scenes and puzzles! Plus you can go back to collect any collectible you missed. Oh, and the credits are also entertaining so don't forget to watch them!

### 1/5 — Poor game…

*2021-09-27, version 1.0.0*

I no sooner get started and the audio for the voices stops ! All other sounds work except the voices. BAD, BAD, BAD .

### 1/5 — Do they play these games before they release them?

*2019-07-20, version 1.0.0*

This game is just a pain in the neck. It doesn’t let you skip the boring dialogues. The HOG’s are tiresome. Not fun; it’s more like work.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2017-11-25, version 1.0.0*

What is this. One of the Early HOPs I’m thinking. No teleporting map. Constant hint hint hint. No skip on main dialogue.
Puzzles hard even on custom mode. No helpful hints on what to do. Boring story. I need to know what years these came out. They stopped saying on the site. Sometimes you can see years on reviews but not always. Hum. Thinking they want you to buy these old crappy ones for the same price as the much better new ones. Oh and ads ads ads. Always a thing on big fish now. I hate it.

### 1/5 — Was soll das ?

*2017-04-27, version 1.0.0*

Das Spiel wird als Frühlingsangebot für 2.99 Euro angepriesen und wenn man es freischalten möchte, soll mann 6.99 Euro bezahlen? HILFE !!!!!!

### 1/5 — No imagination

*2017-03-21, version 1.0.0*

Use of magic, shamans, mystical charms - trying to cover up the fact that there is no story here.  The same boring thing as every other game.  I'm done buying from Big Fish Games.

### 1/5 — Dull

*2017-03-14, version 1.0.0*

Please feature more games from developers other than EIPIX.  Their games look terrible on iPhone and just aren't fun.

### 1/5 — Will not let you purchase

*2017-03-02, version 1.0.0*

Says purchase fail when you try to purchase ..

### 1/5 — Once again problems

*2017-03-02, version 1.0.0*

Once again I cannot unlock the game and purchase it!

### 2/5 — naja

*2017-05-23, version 1.0.0*

Die WBS silhouettenlastig, Minispiele nicht neu und teils schlecht zu spielen. Die Auswahldialoge hingen und waren nicht zu lesen. Eins der schlechteren.

### 2/5 — Two stars as I could not get sawblade

*2017-03-27, version 1.0.0*

Sorry, but the galley part gets stuck from no saw blade available and help only shows you the saw to use. Where is it?!

### 5/5 — Great

*2023-09-09, version 1.0.0*

Great game last a good while not like some ,well worth the money. Great story line I personally loved this game

### 5/5 — Six hour game. Great graphics. A bit boring. Big finish!

*2022-08-29, version 1.0.0*

Kinda cool. The others in the series were better. See if you can make it through all the hunt and find random objects and locks to open things for six hours to get to the big finish!

### 5/5 — Great Game 👍👍

*2021-10-04, version 1.0.0*

I really enjoyed this pirate game.  I think it’s one of the best HOGs I’ve played in a long time.  It was good length, good story, good graphics.  I would definitely play it again.
