Mystery Case Files: Revenant Hack 1.0.0 + Redeem Codes

Since I was so negative about "the silly witch" game, I thought I owed a big WOW for this game. The storyline taps nicely into many older games, and the story feels both new and old. The puzzles are very demanding, some taking me much longer than usual. The multi-level puzzles are especially engaging, the graphics are amazing, artistic, and while the HOGs in any game are not my favorite, the drawings here are very compelling. After staying up too late last night playing, a rainy day here promises I may make the bonus game. Really worth the $$$, a long, engaging, challenging game.

This game was really good mechanically. Custom settings, decent map, ok voice-overs and pretty good graphics (hence, the 2 stars). My only problem with the game itself was how dark it was. I probably should not have bought it after the free trial, but I was intrigued. Normally I only by fantasy, medieval, and sci-fi games. I tend to stay away from horror themed games, but I guess this one sucked me in… So, not only was the subject matter a bit dark for me, but the scenes themselves were very dark and therefore very hard on my eyes.
But what really bothered me about this game was the Bonus chapter. *Possible Spoiler Alert!!!* Anyone who is a parent will find the ending very dark, depressing and not a little macabre. Just so you know, the bonus chapter is in no way related to the main story. They both have a Revenant, but the stories have totally different characters that are not related. I almost feel like the developers are not aware that a lot of people who play their games have children and/or grandkids. I was not amused...
This is actually my first review ever, that is how much it affected me.
I realize that everyone is different, my review is for people like me who prefer a happy ending!
Happy gaming, y'all!!!

While I mostly rate the Big Fish games that I purchase, which is well into the 100s, and throughout many years, I rarely review them. However, this game definitely deserves a review!

The Revenant’s Hunt is a part of the Mystery Case Files, a series made by Eipex. There are some of the usual touches that I have come to prefer now, such as, a journal, teleportation, custom settings, as well as, a few collectible-type components (albeit, they’re not exactly “collectibles”, but rather “seek and find”). With that said, I must say that this is, by far, one of the worst games in this series... and quite possibly by Eipex!

From the beginning to the end, I felt as though the devs were in a hurry to release “something”, and call it a HOAG. It weighs much too heavily on HO and mini games, in which nearly every HO scene is revisited, and very little in the way of adventure. There was not enough sensical interaction with the characters and scenes to make this a solid, or enjoyable game. The words “confusion” and “confusing” seem to be a common factor among some reviews, and I could not agree more! In fact, had I not hastily purchased this game, I would have deleted it within the first 10 minutes of gameplay.

My conclusion: “The Revenant’s Hunt” is a complete waste of time, and it’s definitely not worth buying; even if, it were on sale for .99¢.
My advice: play before you pay.

Don't bother with this game. I stopped halfway through from boredom. I've played some interesting HO games by Big Fish -- this isn't one of them. The game features the most boring hidden object puzzles -- ever. This is their specialty, so there's no excuse for this. They most definitely know how to make great HO puzzles so it's beyond irritating when quality is inconsistent from game to game. It was $7 and not worth it. I'm being very critical but when a company is this big, they have the resources and the talent to produce consistent quality. What else ... the story line is contradictory to itself; if a game is marketed as scary, it should be scary. This one might start out with potential but it fades (literally, the color fades, music too) into blah ASAP.

I am so happy that Eipix is back on form! I used to look forward to their releases, then their games became so trite and unfulfilling. Now they’re back, baby! I love the super puzzles, and there were several in this game. I do wish they would make them a bit harder, like in Fate’s Carnival, but I’m still happy with them. Instead of morphing objects to find in hops, you collect fragments of a love letter. The story was exciting and well done. Puzzles were unique and ranged from easy to medium. Hops were varied. Real rating of 4.5 bumped up to 5 because I just really enjoyed it.

I love this game, I have always enjoyed the Ravenhearst series and this is similar. This game is a challenge for me which is usually not the case. And the story line is interesting. Of course there are collectibles and morphing objects. An achievement is for how many times you’ve reset a game.
I’m going to purchase it. I haven’t had a challenge for awhile.

I have played all the MCF games since they were only on PC, and I’ve really enjoyed them all. I played this one and of course purchased it because I figured there was a lot of game left to go. But not long after I purchased it, the game was already over! What a massive disappointment. Not only was the story hard to follow and boring AF, but the game mechanics were off- I couldn’t place objects because it kept pulling up the screen, the hints button was difficult to use, and many of the “clues” were completely irrelevant. Worst of all the games in the series. 1/10, would not recommend. It makes me very sad because I have never even made a bad review about any game on iOS or otherwise, but this was so bad, it called for it.

I’m giving this game a two star because it was fun to play. The mini games were entertaining, but not too hard.
Everything was good until the Bonus game. It was very short and the story line did not make any sense at all. It didn’t go along to the original game.
Another thing that I didn’t like was the Extras as part of the Collector’s Edition. There was pretty much nothing to do if you collected all the card, leaves, and the morphing objects. You didn’t see other things you usually saw with the Collector’s Edition.

I wanted to love it, as I’ve loved other games in this series, but this was subpar. I can’t really describe it, but the imagery was difficult to see, the action was stiff and odd, the games were not hard but hard to complete at certain times due to the interface. The HOPs were one-note and boring. I played through, but was not impressed, especially since I know the developers can do MUCH better! Sorry guys, but I’m still looking forward to the next one. :)

Amended to 4 stars..... I finally did find the bonus game, and after playing that, they did allow you to go back and find all the collectibles and replay the games.

This game was not as enjoyable as most of the Mystery Case Files. I lost interest in the story. But 4 stars for great mini-games that were challenging and FUN, and flawless gameplay.
