### 3/5 — Witches legacy: the dark throne

*2023-10-29, version 1.0.0*

I like these types of games. I bought a lot of your games. It was really aggravating because I had to tap on the item multiple times over and over. Plus there were certain things you tap on and would not describe to you what It was about. Especially if your there tapping. The graphic was okay. I really thought I was going to enjoy this particular game but I did not.

### 2/5 — Glitch witch should be called

*2020-12-31, version 1.0.0*

Game was ok, but very glitchy!! Specially on the hidden stuff, some puzzles had to skip because won’t work...

### 3/5 — So long to change eatch sceen

*2020-07-20, version 1.0.0*

15 to 20 sec to change place or action...so mutch time lost...

### 2/5 — Not ready for iPad

*2020-07-09, version 1.0.0*

I had to skip puzzles because it was so hard to select and move objects. And if an item is “hidden” you shouldn’t get a fractured screen when you’re clicking on places where it might be. Not to mention that you can click on the correct object but not be able to select it. More frustrating than fun.

### 3/5 — Pretty good

*2020-06-18, version 1.0.0*

I could play my own music and the game had an interesting storyline.  Criticism is the HOSs were too similar and too frequent.  But other than that fun stuff.

### 2/5 — Dodgy one amongst brilliant games

*2020-06-07, version 1.0.0*

I’ve played dozens of big fish HO games and usually love them , but sadly this one lives up to the reviews. You have to be pixel perfect when combining items for it to respond which is incredibly frustrating (gluing the hammer together) and takes ages to get right , but I preserved only to be later completely flummoxed in the barn / forge were it says I have 8/12 items to find , but there’s nothing in the clue box to indicate what to find. I eventually managed to combine the tongs and key in the forge and eventually managed to pixel perfect putting the key in the water, but now nothing. Help highlights a blank space in the clue box, but I can’t move on. Such a shame, would you be able to look into it please so I can finish it?

### 2/5 — Witches’ legacy the dark throne

*2020-05-17, version 1.0.0*

I was enjoying this until the mini puzzle in the prison: how on earth do you get it to put glue on the brush so that you can escape?  I even restarted the game- but still can’t make it work! Wasted my money.

### 3/5 — Very good!

*2020-05-17, version 1.0.0*

But I only gave three stars due to the fact that I found the story a bit samey like many games I’ve played! 
The other thing that let it down was that after doing bonus round I like to go back and complete the achievements I’ve missed, in this game I didn’t find all the puzzle pieces or morphing objects, thiss game does NOT allow you to go back and collect them, therefore I didn’t finish the last puzzle. Very frustrating when you’ve paid a lot of money for the game initially!

### 3/5 — Good theme, poor execution

*2020-05-15, version 1.0.0*

This game is irritating in that when you have to combine two objects (light a torch, put a head on a hammer, etc) there is only one precise location where the two items will interact - and you have no way of knowing where that location is!  So there is a lot of frustrating trial and error to make it work.

### 3/5 — Dark Throne

*2020-05-13, version 1.0.0*

Good graphics, not a very good story line. Doesn’t respond very well in mini games you have to press hard a few times to move or grab objects. You need to use the hint button to know where to go next. Morphing objects hard to find.some mini games very difficult.

### 3/5 — Stuck at home

*2020-05-12, version 1.0.0*

It seems like a good game, however, I found I was forever watching the circle turn when moving to another area.  Needs to be faster on this.   I spend more time waiting then playing.  Would not recommend until this is fixed

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2020-05-09, version 1.0.0*

Loading was very slow. I could not finish the game because I could not glue the hammer together. Waste of money. I restarted the game three times and still unsuccessful

### 1/5 — Was enjoying the game until…….

*2021-11-29, version 1.0.0*

I was really enjoying the game until I was in the prison and had to glue the hammer together. It refuses to put glue on the brush and with no way to skip the game I’m stuck. I’m tired of paying $7.00 for games that are full of glitches. Do the developers not take pride in their work? Looking back this has been a recurring issue for 5 years! If you’re not going to fix it the game then remove the game altogether so people stop paying for a game they can’t play! It’s deceitful.

### 1/5 — Tedious

*2020-08-21, version 1.0.0*

That’s it. Tedious. Tedious. And ..... tedious.

### 1/5 — Stuck in chapter 6

*2020-08-12, version 1.0.0*

Im stuck in chapter 6 in the hidden objects in the barn the last 5 items are not showing in the list ,
The count says i still have 5 items in the list but my list is empty

### 1/5 — Bad purchase

*2020-05-17, version 1.0.0*

Game is not bad but so many glitches and freezes. Contacted big fish and troubleshooting suggested reinstalling...double waste of time and effort as the same thing happened. Rep offered a coupon code, but not useable on iPad Pro.

### 1/5 — Was a good game ...

*2020-05-14, version 1.0.0*

BUT once you get to the area with the glue to put the hammer together, you CAN’T GET THE GLUE ON THE BRUSH! I’ve looked on the website and there are others with this problem, but it has been solved to date. Sucks really because it was really great up to that point. 😢

### 1/5 — Stuck at prison...cant glue handle to hammerhead

*2020-05-13, version 1.0.0*

Do not buy this game. There is a glitch in the Prison and cant complete the game nor can you skip it. Please refund..very disappointed as I have several big Fish games and have not encounter this before.

### 1/5 — Don’t recommend

*2020-05-13, version 1.0.0*

Cannot paint the mask at all. No option to skip the game. So I am stuck and con’t continue playing.

### 1/5 — Can’t finish

*2020-05-12, version 1.0.0*

Can’t get glue on brush in the prison. Highly annoying. Can’t finish game.

### 1/5 — Game breaking bug once unlocked

*2020-05-10, version 1.0.0*

It seemed a decent enough game, so I purchased the unlock. However, I encountered a glitch and was unable to move forward. I requested a refund.

### 1/5 — Stuck with a glitch

*2020-05-10, version 1.0.0*

I’m in the dungeon trying to glue the hammer and I can’t get it to load the brush with glue. Can’t continue so it’s pointless. I have tried all the suggestions except u installing. I would have to start over and it takes too long to get this far. So no thanks.  Very disappointed.

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2020-05-17, version 1.0.0*

Enjoyed it.

### 5/5 — The little so great

*2020-05-12, version 1.0.0*

Great grafics

### 5/5 — Witches Legacy: The Dark Throne

*2018-02-11, version 1.0.0*

I read previous reviews most dated a year ago.  I’ve been playing this one and see that a lot of the complaints have been fixed.  So far it is very fun.  I had one scene upside down, but thinking it was intended to be that way.  I was confused at first, but it worked out.

### 5/5 — Witches legacy

*2016-11-10, version 1.0.0*

No stars for this one. Week story, no teleport but what's the worst is 5 to 10 seconds to load scenes. Didn't finish it due to boredom waiting for scenes to load. Definite don't buy. I want a refund!!!

### 4/5 — Fun, but some bugs

*2023-01-10, version 1.0.0*

I Enjoy this game, but there a few glitches, but great story line!

### 4/5 — Fun game w a few glitches

*2021-01-13, version 1.0.0*

Overall I liked the game. I saw some other reviews who hated the imp- I didn’t mind him. There were a few glitches that drove me nuts - almost any puzzle involving clicking and dragging was buggy, some manageable others I was clicking and dragging the right object to its correct place for ten minutes before it finally worked I almost threw my iPad across the room. But fix those and you have a great game.

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2020-09-05, version 1.0.0*

The story is pretty much the same as others in the series but some pretty cool mini puzzles and not many that are tedious. My only problem is in the HOPs. It was quite difficult to connect two pieces on the iPad, often taking more than 10 attempts to get the moveable object placed exactly right.

### 4/5 — Witches Legacy:Dark Throne

*2020-05-21, version 1.0.0*

I enjoyed the game and it was one that was a little longer than many.  The only issue I had that I dislike is there are times where you don’t know where you should be going next.  There is a scroll that is supposed to keep you on track but it often gave the big picture goal so was not always very helpful.  I find this type of problem in many of these games.  Should have a few people not involved with the making of the game and let them play the game and it seems it would be apparent the issues that are a problem.  It would be more fun to be on an adventure that I know what move I’m going to need to make rather than guessing at it or using the map to help find where I should be going next.

### 4/5 — Enjoyable game

*2020-05-11, version 1.0.0*

I thought the plot, length and puzzles/hidden object games were great.  I became a little frustrated at the glitches and going back and forth between scenes.  Thank goodness for the map.

### 4/5 — Truly enjoyable,but

*2020-05-09, version 1.0.0*

I really enjoyed this game. Here are the good points and the bad point.

Good: 
1) There is a book which you can click to read before starting the game. The book give you the story from the previous game so you know what has happened so far.
2) The storyline is good
3) HOP and games were fun

Bad:
1) Amount of time for each scene to download. Takes way too long.
2) You can click to move forward, but have to press a button to go back. Thankfully, we could move to places using the map
