Based on demo: Good sound, good graphics, good story -spooky without the gore. HOS & mini games are challenging without giving you a headache. Some backtracking & running around but flows logically. I'm not a dedicated fan of these type games but I like this one because it's a bit different & all all the pieces: HOS, adventure tasks, mini games & story fit together well.
I guess if you like these grim & morbid adventure / hos games, your going to like them even though its just the same tasks & stories recycled over & over again. Find a key, find a doorknob, get a lantern, need a ladder... Ho hum zzzz. C'mon how 'bout creating something fresh & new? I'm about to cancel my Big Fish subscription due to boredom.
Decent M3, A little better than average. The HOS are interesting, somewhat challenging (except hint recharges quickly) & a little different. I like when objects are cleverly hidden and not just microscopic or a fuzzy image which I found this to be. Chain type M3s are my least favorite & this one is easy.
I don't recommend this game.

The Path of Hercules
Pay homage to the dieties by restoring ancient artifacts in this unique Hidden Object and Match-3 adventure!
After reading reviews I had high expectations but was disappointed. The M3s did not offer any challenge and the graphics in HOS were poor. The story was stupid: cleaning manure?! Overall I was bored & didn't finish trial. Maybe good for kids.
A jeweler is tasked with the restoration of some timeworn jewelry, but when he mysteriously disappears, rumors circulate that the pieces may be cursed.
Match3s are my favorites but good ones are hard to find. This one tries to mix M3s with a tetras type game but it functioned poorly. It paused unexpectedly & hung up repeatedly in the trial. The power ups really didn't give you much power or additional control. During the story, the subtitles didn't match the voiceover. It was just off in a lot of ways & I disliked it.
Not a dedicated fan of adventure games -all that running around back & forth is often more frustrating than fun for me. This one I like & bought. It won't make a top 10 list but it was enjoyable. Liked the variety of games & puzzles. Could've been a bit more challenging -HOS, mini games, match 3 were relatively easy. And it was very short.
If you're not playing slots for chance to win real money then there's got to be something else to pull you in to make it fun. Why don't you game makers get this? Ain't nothing here. No mini games, no challenge, no great sound, no graphics, not much interaction. And not even much chance to win fake money! Very bad game. Very bad. You owe us an apology for this one.
I don't recommend this game.

Vampire Ventures
Join Vampire Val as she embarks on her quest through long forgotten empires to find her kidnapped father.
I like match 3s but there's few good ones (like Caribbean Hideaway). There were things I liked about this game: the quirky, humorous story, fast talking voice over (with British accent), the various game plays & power ups. It was just too easy. If it were more of a challenge, I would have bought it.
I liked this game. I enjoy Match3s but good ones are few. This one is a little different. I only played demo but may buy. Was easy at first but difficulty increases. Didn't pay much attention to story. Visuals & sound effects on the simple side but I liked them. Wish there was a little more instruction but it's not complicated & you can figure it out.
