Magic City Detective: Talion

Attention all gamers. I have a very important update. I heard from Oleg today. He assured me that Domini will continue to release HO games on all platforms. As long as it’s iOS that’s what counts. And now I have the upper hand as well. So it’s a chance to make some improvements! We need novelty and innovation. I am going to try my best here. This is the replacement series for Secret City. (Ameer is now a female called Ymir and there are merfolk and magical creatures). This game was enjoyable, although inventory usage was not very innovative. There were a couple of new tools so I know that some of the creative team can think outside the box. It was evident in the terrific mix of HO puzzles and mini-games. Quality assurance has actually improved quite a bit. If that department would just enhance the touchscreen sensitivity on the gameplay interface, we would have no issues acquiring or using inventory, or completing puzzles! I have written to the department head, so we will see. I was excited that the game setting was Venice. It’s a city I love, where I ate gelato, gambled at Lido, stayed at a very exclusive hotel, and fell on every bridge in Venice! I must hold the world record for that one, lol! The game had beautiful scenery and the storyline held my interest. My actual rating will be 4.5 stars. I deducted only one half star for touchscreen sensitivity and for the same boring inventory tools. Domini needs to look at my creative idea. It would open up a whole new avenue for them and boost revenues. Happy gaming, everyone!

The game was going along fine until I cut out the glass from the store window and then you can’t go past that point. So glad I hadn’t already paid for it.

As much as I love playing these games, this one really frustrated me. It stopped working after giving the statue his trident. I tried using hints, but it just kept telling me there was nothing else to do in that part of the game. Someone needs to figure this out. I paid for the game and can’t finish it.

I would’ve given this five stars however, it won’t let me go any further than the guy in the gondola. Don’t waste your money.

I have reinstalled game 3 times and the still, I can not give the ferryman the paper because he’s not there when I tap on him. It’s a shame I can’t finish the game. I was enjoying it.

I’m running on an IPad Pro, latest version of iOS. Was enjoying the game but when I needed to give the address to Shady San Palo, the screen doesn’t show the gondolier, just water and I’m unable to move forward. I stopped, unloaded all active games, then restarted and ran into the same bug. At least I hadn’t paid for it yet.

Because I liked the concept, I keep reloading it and invariably come to a play that won't do what it should. It's a different sticking-spot each time--once, no hints. No ink--although I can SEE it sitting there. Hints make no difference, I've found. Forget it.

I’m near the end. I opened the pedestal and took the fan and magic cards. Closed the game for the night, and when I came back, the cards and fan were gone, the pedestal was closed - with the shield in place - and there were no moves left anywhere. I can’t finish the game. I hate wasting money.

I have reached a point in the game where I have tweezers, a carabiner, and a hose clamp. Only 3 locations are accessible. Noe of the items work on anything, and help says there is nothing to do. Two stars is generous for a defective product

Game keeps crashing. Cannot play. Needs to be fixed.
