Mystery of Ancients: Dagger Hack 1.0.0 + Redeem Codes

This is only my partial review, but BF gives us a terrific one with this game. I didn't want to stop playing, even for these few words. If you have been desperate for a great game, this one is immensely playable, immersive, rich--with innovative, multi-layered puzzles. More later!
After completing the game and the bonus, I must unfortunately subtract a 1/2 star. The game was very brief, but perhaps I only enjoyed it too much? My verdict is still to buy--especially at reduced price of 3.99. It is quite enjoyable and well thought out, particularly the multilayered puzzles. HOGs can become very repetitive but this game avoided that trap. Thank you developers! Now please give us more great games and we will buy them!

MariaGlorum's Black Dagger is much better than most of Big Fish's recent offerings. It may truly be a new game! There is no journal, but the map enables teleportation and is beautifully rendered in 3D. The map also indicates when you have collectibles to find in each scene. You can customize difficulty.

The HOPs are very creative and each one is structured differently. The mini games were moderately challenging -- not too easy, but you can work most of them out with time. The storyline was fresh, and the graphics and soundtrack make you feel like you're actually fighting evil! Black Dagger has one of the best bonus chapters I've ever played, in terms of both engagement and challenge; it followed naturally from the main story.

Collectibles consist of crowns in each scene and 8 statues of characters. If you collect all 23 crowns, you can complete a jigsaw puzzle. Collecting the statues just gives you glory. :-D

Cons? Gameplay is too short (23 scenes, about 3-4 hours), which is why I have already finished and can write this review. The back button is awkwardly placed in the lower left corner, while all the other icons are squished together in the lower right. You must manually update the map constantly if you want it to flag areas where action is needed. These are minor issues, however. I didn't experience any glitches.

My rating is 4.5, and while I'd love to give this game a 5, I've lowered it to 4 due to brevity.

Really enjoyed this game! Very interactive during hidden object scenes, which I ❤️. Although the graphics were grainy, this did not affect gameplay in my view. There were too many enjoyable and cleverly done scenes, along with some great special effects.
There were your collectibles, crowns and character dolls. Voiceovers were very nicely done as well. Teleporting map was provided (which wasn’t a whole lot of help) but that’s the challenge right? Highly recommend picking this one up as it is very entertaining and a huge step up from the other new releases as of late.
I had contacted Big Fish 🐠 regarding our lack of New Releases for us IPad users and they were passing the info on to the mobile team. Voices need to be heard if you want more games.
So fellow gamers, please don’t hesitate to write them and let them know. They actually stated, that my feedback was appreciated. I certainly want to see more games (like the olden days) don’t you?
Play & Enjoy 😊Looking forward to our next release as it is hard to make these shorter games last.

I enjoyed every aspect of this game! Many collectible crowns and coronets to find. Click on the crown logo to see which collectibles and individuals to find. Very creative interactive HOPs and puzzles. My favorite puzzle was trying to free a raccoon inside a maze - lots of fun!! Bright colors. A cluster of buttons located on the bottom right-hand side, giving access to the interactive map, hint button, difficulty level (very convenient). Bright, bold colors. And...a very fast 5 second refresh rate. Long-playing. I’ll start to play the Bonus section shortly!

More of this same high-quality games, please!!!

I play A LOT of these games and get sick of all of the medieval themes. I have been looking for a good game that had a more modern storyline. Although this does have some medieval parts the basic story is set in modern day. The puzzles and HO games were different, challenging and fun! I see people mention how short this game is, and I agree, but I believe it was probably because it’s so much fun the time flies by quickly!!

I’m not very good at these but am getting better. Some I can’t stick with because they aren’t user friendly. This is not one of those. It’s challenging, interesting and great graphics. The mini games are explained briefly but with the information you need and a aren’t too small to read or navigate. The only reason for a four is how low the inventory is placed, which causes the game to pause sometimes instead of placing item. I very much enjoyed the game and hope there are more in the series!

I should have read the reviews! This came is so unorganized that I can’t get the keys to work in the locks on a hidden object game. Poor planning on the part of the developers. Please check it before you buy it. Total waste of money!!

I wrote a review earlier before I finished playing the game but it seems to have disappeared.

Just wanted to correct myself on finding the crowns. If you can not find one you can come back later to look for it **ONLY WHEN YOU ARE STLL PLAYING THE MAIN GAME**.
I realized this when I finished the bonus round and was trying to go back and find the 3 that I missed during the game. It was upsetting because I like to achieve everything in the game, makes it more cha.

Other than that and the game was short, this game was extremely awesome and lots of fun. Also all the puzzles are self explanatory so you don’t have to stress out trying to figure out what the instructions mean.

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

I liked that usually I was able to figure out what I needed to do, and even looking for items was usually logical, and I rarely had to use the help guide. The HOPs were ones I had not encountered before, although I would have liked to have alternative puzzles to do instead. It was fairly short. Graphics and voice overs were good.

I really enjoyed this game. First and foremost, I could actually read everything! First HOS in a long time that wringing was large enough without squinting. The story was also easy to follow and a nice smattering of different games and hidden objects. Sure wish more games were like this one.
