The best elements from role-playing games encourage exploration as a wide variety of items are secreted throughout the world – from hidden scraps of paper that reveal the mystery of your imprisonment, to weapons and items, to money which can be used to purchase better equipment and weapons.

Pros and cons of Dark Meadow app for iPhone and iPad
Dark Meadow app good for
Appealing atmosphere, good graphic and nice to play. To recommend.
Borrowing from the likes of infinity blade, the game is addictive and fun. Good graphics, funny and interesting and engaging story/dialogue. I like the crossbows, and i love the atmosphere. The only thing which could be improved slightly is the battle system. it is good, but the animations during fights could be better. there could be more enemy types and also more varied attack patterns, but still very fun. I look forward to their next game
I liked the graphics and the plot but the fighting part got repetitious. I would give it 3 1/2 if I could.
I really like Dark Meadow. Yes killing the monsters is a tad repetitive but if your an item collector like myself you will enjoy collecting the weapons/amulets and the notes and papers. I havent finished the game yet so I cant say if the ending is good or not but story line so far has been fantastic. I really miss the old days when scary horror games were exactly that... Atmospheric and scary and this game sticks to that feeling really well. 5 stars. You want a creepy kind of exploration game this is it.
Its really good, although I wish you didnt have to start at the beginning every time you die or pass a leval. But its good, really addictive.
Exactly what I was looking for in an iPad game. Something I could pick up every so often and instantly be drawn back into the game. I love the combination of themes between a hellish hospital and old fashion weaponry.
Some bad moments
I just bought and downloaded the game and it wont open for me. It shows a fountain and some wall with writing on it then bye bye off it goes. Did this happen to anyone else. How do you get your money back? So annoying.
Pood my pant at the first monster in counter. But very repetitive after. No toilet paper required.
It is ridiculous to have a game that doesnt start where you left off when playing on an iPhone. Am I supposed to play the whole dang thing through in one shot?
I havent died yet in this game. Yet every time I close it due to actual real life chores, I continuously have to start from the beginning and there is no way to skip through the cut-scenes. It makes me wonder why in the heck this game has a Save and a Continue option. Either those options are broken or its a frickin joke on the developers behalf.
I tried to give this game a shot. From what Ive repetitively played from the beginning every time I decided to play it, it seems like it would be a good game. It looks good; it sounds good. However, I actually have a life and am wondering why in the hell this game has so many 5-star reviews.
This game is going--gone from my devices--and Im not going to recommend it to anyone until theres a way to actually start where you left off instead of at the beginning every single time. Its pretty sad when I can ad-lib the fricken cut-scenes in a game I still havent finished. Wish I never paid for this piece of Sh!* game.
Ok, so you have too buy the credits, so I bit but now Im getting in game error messages when I attempt to buy some of the credits. Great eye candy but this freemium thing is annoying. Enough to pull my rating down to 2 stars.
The last update only fixed half of the problem... I want to be able to purchase First Aid, Gem Pack and Bomb Pack with in game money like before, and not your Sun Coins. I can understand for the free game but I ALREADY paid for the premium version. If this is not fix I want a refund!
This game was awesome Im playing it with my grandson, but not anymore! I cant purchase sun coins to buy bombs it keeps saying transaction didnt go through as I can see I am not the only one we are just about out of bombs and if we cant get anymore then we cant finish the game we need them. I thought that when you do an upgrade its to better the game well that is not what happened here it seems like you made a whole new game, at least let us buy our sun coin with in game money will you please then it is worth six stars thats for sure!
