I have over 700 games, all Hidden Object themed. I try to buy games which are part of a "series". This Dark Romance Series has to be my all-time favorite.......and this game? Number one in my book! The graphics, the music, the story......everything about it had me from the first click. I recommend this game for all the reasons one buys such games. I look for certain criteria to be met when I am on a game hunt. This met it all....length, hint help, good map, interesting characters, various hidden object searches including morphing objects, shadows, etc. The match-3 game was even fun to play! The mini-games were fun to complete, I sometimes find myself skipping them after numerous tries at them......but these games? I completed about 95 percent of them.....a record for me. The only downside to this review is that I can only give it a five-star rating! It is a real winner in my book......try the demo, I am sure you will agree. Enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

This was an insta-buy for me. A remarkable edition that embraces ground breaking technological advances with an extraordinary mythological story. When gods are fighting each other, mortals suffer the consequences. In Dark Romance 3: Kingdom of Death you will play the role of both mortals — Elias and Persephone. Hades had chosen Persephone, Zeus’ daughter, as a lure for her father. So he kidnaps Persephone during her betrothal with Elias! While they were changing flowers promising to marry each other, Hades changes Persephone’s flower into thorns and drags her to the Underworld, the world of Death! Poseidon, God of the Sea also has a hand in this devious plan to bring Zeus (King of the Gods) to the Underworld. Now it's up to Elias the male character to retrieve and assist Persephone in her quest. By playing both roles in this exciting adventure it adds an element of difficulty and intrigue you won't be able to get enough of. The graphics are stunning and the sound/SFX and VO's are extremely detailed. I didn't even look at the tiny text of dialogue because the lip-sync is perfection. You will also meet other famous characters from Greek Mythology as you work together to solve problems and put their romance to the ultimate test in this intriguing twist on the tale of Persephone! I think this release is a contender for 2016 Game of the Year. Good Luck and Enjoy!!! Show less

If you are a fan of Greek mythology you are sure to be captured by this latest game in the Dark Romance series. Although the developers have taken a great deal of creative license in Kingdom of Death it still will appeal to those who love these ancient myths. As in the previous games we have the unique feature of playing both of the star-crossed lovers. Will true love overcome the power struggle between Zeus and his brothers – Poseidon and Hades? Play this terrific game as you encounter other fantastic creatures from mythology.

The game does offer the custom setting, which is the one I normally select if it is available. Even on custom the lowest recharge time for hints and skips is a bit high but that is only my opinion. The graphics are excellent as are the voiceovers. I am very impressed by the realistic characters and love the richness of the overall graphics.

Your tools include an interactive, transporter type map as well as a scroll that includes your current tasks. I didn’t come across anything that appears to be a gimmick but even if there is one included, I am sure it will fit well with the storyline.

The HOPS are varied, interactive and interesting but if you don’t like completing the HOP scenes you have an alternate match-3 type game. As you play through the game, keep your eyes open and look at everything because you never know when you will find a power-up that will help you with the match-3 option. I am really very impressed by all of the extra little touches the developer has added to Kingdom of Death that make it very entertaining. I have played so many HOPA games over the past ten years that when I find something new and unexpected it is very refreshing and revives my interest in the HOPA genre of games. Kudos to this development team for taking the time to create a game with so many extra touches and little surprises. There is not a lot to say about the mini-games because there doesn’t seem to be anything new but they are still enjoyable. As is the case in most games, I suspect the mini-games will increase in difficulty as the game progresses.

What a surprising and excellent game that caught me off-guard because I really didn’t think I would like this one as much as I do. The last game in the series was not nearly as entertaining so I didn’t expect that I would care for Kingdom of Death but as a lifetime fan of Greek mythology, this game is just perfect for me even though does take a lot of liberties with the myths. If you are a romantic at heart and enjoy a good love story then Dark Romance Kingdom of Death might be the perfect game for you. I would like to thank BFG and the developers who did an amazing job in creating this game. Although I love this game and purchased it almost immediately, please try the demo to see if this is a game you will like Show less

Only drawback for me was the numerous amount of puzzles which I was able to skip for the most part due to the option/custom setting which allowed for skip/hint fast refresh. I'm not a puzzle lover/doer! HOS were pretty standard interactive although I had to use the hint as some of the settings were pretty dark and things were hard to see.

Transporter map was excellent. Enjoyed the storyline. I've always enjoyed mythology so the twist on this tale was interesting. Have fun with this game. Worth every penny paid! Show less

I have always liked the games in this series, and liked "Kingdom of Death" even more than usual. Visuals were awesome, sound was fantastic (one scene in which a soul was screaming in agony was all TOO realistic - made me shudder!). Hidden object scenes were varied and interesting. Puzzles were on the easy side (just the way I like them - I didn't have to skip very many of them). I actually would have given this 4.5 stars if that were an option - knocking a little off my score for some slow reaction time when selecting objects. But that one flaw wasn't enough to keep me from thoroughly enjoying the game! As always, try before you buy... Show less

You just received Zeus' blessing to marry his beautiful daughter Persephone when she vanishes into thin air! Uncle Hades and Uncle Poseidon have set a trap to lure Zeus into the underworld by using Persephone as bait. The powerful god knows he cannot help his future son-in-law rescue his daughter without jeopardizing his own safety, so Elias is on his own to find his way to the underworld and save his fiance.

Dark Romance has done it again! They have presented us with a beautiful love story where love obviously has no boundaries. As with all Dark Romance game, you get to play the game from both lovers perspectives, switching flawlessly between Persephone's character in the land of Hades and Elias character who's desperately trying to find his beloved. The Collector's Edition has Achievements to earn, 14 Artifacts of the Gods to find, 38 Olive branches to collect that allow you to purchase items for the Muse Statues in the Boudoir, both editions offer collectible Power-Ups for the Match 3 games (bombs, lightning, Rainbows) as well as journal pages located throughout your adventure.

The Hidden Object Scenes are varied with familiar favorites such as Interactive List Finds, as well as Progressive Silhouetted Shape Finds and Spot the Differences, there are even small Zoom Zone HOP's where you find Multiples of items. You can opt for a Match 3 game instead of the HOP's and use the bonus tokens you have collected throughout the game.

The Mini Games are fairly easy, although some are a bit time consuming and a tad frustrating. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:

1) Choose the matching symbols on the note and the scroll to reveal coded words.

2) Move items to clear a path for a net to catch a fish, which are grid size related.

3) Cover the board with more green than blue stones. If you move one space, the stone will duplicate leaving one behind. If either colored stone touches a different color, the different stone and all adjacent stones will change color.

4) Arrange the plates so that they match the charms hanging below.

5) Place each of the animals on its constellation so the stars line up to key points.

6) Open all the flowers, clicking on some flowers will affect other flowers.

The Collector's Edition has 24 Achievements, 9 Boudior muses to adorn, 28 Concept Art pictures, 19 Wallpapers, 5 Music Soundtracks, 14 Collectible Artifacts of the Gods, 10 Movies, 38 Collectible Olive Branches, Journal Notes, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter, enjoy! Show less

Hints: Good response.

Mini: Not a fan. Tried some, but mostly skipped them. Show less

Graphics are beautiful. There is a good interactive map, task list and journal.
Game has 6 chapters and they are fairly long. However, around the 5th chapter, it seems like things were being done to prolong game, seemed to have left the story line, doing things that were unnecessary.
But, still a good game. Enjoy! Show less
