What an excellent game. I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline. The puzzles and hidden objecst were well thought out. Long story especially for a standard version of a game. I thoroughly recommend. Please try.

I recommend this game!

I do enjoy this time period so I maybe nicer on comments . I gave it a 5 star since I don't regret buying it.

I love Elpix games. I will buy their games before any other game. I like the custom difficulty. Most of the time all I want is to play a quiet and fun game without the long hints and complicated puzzles. If a game does not have a custom difficulty I will usually not buy it.

I recommend this game!

I think probably I'm being kind with thie review, but it really wasn't all that bad of a game. It kept me entertained for a cold FL afternoon and that's all that mattered to me. Yes, the quality, as compared to the other games in this series, was really low. I don't know if Eipix has a new set of designers or what, but it wasn't what I expected. I read so many reviews that were negative and I thought this is a great series. It can't be that bad and it wasn't. I did enjoy it.

The biggest thing about the game were the graphics. They were really dull. I think the term cookie cutter would fit here. Normally I'm drawn to the graphics and will search each scene to see what all is there. Not with this game. A house was a house and a train was a train all with no frills. I didn't have a problem at all with the characters. I was surprised they were as good as they were. Voice overs were very well done. I do wish I had turned the music down a bit more. It started grating on my nerves. The map was a must. It was really difficult for me to follow where I needed to go next. It did a great job showing where there was something to do and then transported me there. Hidden objects were simple and unfortunately repetitious. By that I mean, find 3 of this and 3 of that. Not my cup of tea. The mini games were really simple. I did most of them and I know my patience level hasn't increased so I'm guessing they were easy.

The story was well told. I didn't have a problem with it. The plot was easy to follow and I didn't get lost in the twists and turns. Could be because there weren't any I can recall.

Give the demo a try. Keep in mind, this is not like the others in this series. If you do that, you might like it more. Show less

I recommend this game!

Good stuff I liked: The artwork was clear and colorful if uneven in some scenes. Thankfully, there were no phony accents even though the game takes place in Russia. The hints and skips could be set to 10 seconds. Unfortunately, I was just getting interested in the story when the demo ended.

Good stuff I liked: The artwork was clear and colorful if uneven in some scenes. Thankfully, there were no phony accents even though the game takes place in Russia. The hints and skips could be set to 10 seconds. Unfortunately, I was just getting interested in the story when the demo ended.

Other stuff I could have done without: Running back and forth to the same locations multiple times damaged the forward progress of the story line. I get suspicious when this happens that there might not be much thought given to the story. I also would've liked to see some of the "that would never happen in real life" stuff paid more attention to, like hypnotizing someone with a few flicks of a watch on a chain while they're standing up in an alley. But at least it foreshadowed somebody has been playing mind games with our little dancer.

I sometimes hate to recommend or not recommend, because everyone has different tastes. I think this one sits right about in the middle. Show less

Danse Macabre used to be an exciting series, with its sophisticated storylines and extravagant production. Things started to shift when Eipix chose to focus on quantity over quality when it comes to this once-promising franchise, A Lover’s Pledge is the third Danse Macabre game in 2017 – and the compromise shows. In this sequel, you play as a seamstress who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. You found yourself in the middle of a major drama when the lead actress from the opera show got kidnapped by a ghost, can you save her and yourself from this haunted theater? The storyline of Danse Macabre: A Lover’s Pledge is filled with HOPA cliches. From the vengeful spirit to the kidnapped performer, everything is just so predictable, even the alleged “twists” are not interesting anymore. It is no surprise that the gameplay in Danse Macabre: A Lover’s Pledge is of the recycled type. While there is a lot of tasks and interactions to perform in each location, the challenge level is dumb down by how simple and boring these tasks are. Not to mention, that some tasks are far from being logical and that a few objects are placed in irrational places. Eipix is usually pretty reliable with its high production values. However, the sights and sounds in Danse Macabre: A Lover’s Pledge does not exactly impress. Even though the overall quality of the visuals is still high, the basic artwork and the washed-out colors are not to Eipix’s usual high standards. The background music is pleasant enough, but the voice-acting is sometimes slightly awkward and inappropriately dramatic. Rolling in at the three and a half hour mark, Danse Macabre: A Lover’s Pledge is a tad short of the standard length for a premium HOPA. I hope Eipix game developers will listen to reviewers so that this series continues...Cheers! Show less

I don't recommend this game.

I have never played this series, but I love Eipix games so I thought I would give it a try. I literally forced myself to play it. I switched the difficulty to easy so I could get through it as quickly as possible, skipping most of the game. Some were different and I liked that part, but even the HOP were pretty lame. I bought the one before this in the series (BOGO) so hoping that one is better. ...Show more

This game is dire...all the characters are wooden and lifeless, in fact, the game is soul-less.I was looking to play a free game on this first day of 2018 but even I couldn't do that...much happier resurrecting some of the great games from the good old days, particularly Witches Legacy..so good and well-made.

I don't recommend this game.

I looked at the reviews for the CE and they were far better, perhaps when downsizing it to SE version they took too much out [like the storyline].
This one in my opinion was a waste of my time and money that I could have been spent on another game : /

The first bit of the game shows a man walking, only to be attacked and presumably murdered (if the "hint" means anything...and he's a ghost...). Then we move forward to the opera. We meet Julia Belmont, who's performing in honor of her sister, Andrea, who committed suicide after her love was killed.

The first bit of the game shows a man walking, only to be attacked and presumably murdered (if the "hint" means anything...and he's a ghost...). Then we move forward to the opera. We meet Julia Belmont, who's performing in honor of her sister, Andrea, who committed suicide after her love was killed. Insert accidents and a death and we must investigate and learn the truth of what happened. We must set the spirit(s) free.

The praise I have for this game is that the visuals were lovely. The sounds was decent and the the hidden object scenes were/puzzles were simple enough. They even had a alternate method (a matching game) if you didn't want to complete the hidden object scenes, which was fun.

Complaints... the story was... well, it was okay. We soon learn that the spirit is the murdered love of Julia's deceased sister, Andrea. They insert a "somehow you are transported away from the "opera house" and to the former home of Mr. Belmont, the now deceased father of Andrea and Julia. We never see Julia again after helping her, before the teleport happens. We don't see her even at the end, though she's mentioned by Diego, the spirit, as he pledges about stuff. The game also states stuff like we already knew it, but we had not learned it prior to that. Diego? Who's Diego? Oh, that's the guy we saw get attacked earlier and was Andrea's love. Wait, Mr. Belmont sent Andrea away? When did we learn that? Not to mention that Diego goes nuts, even after he learns Julia isn't her sister, stating that if you don't find something for him in an hour, both you and Julia will die. He also wanted proof that Julia wasn't Andrea/that Andrea was also dead... and we found it, but never gave it to him...

Overall, I liked the game mostly for the visuals/sound and a bit of the story. If you're interested in this game, I suggest playing the demo first... Show less

I don't recommend this game.
