  • Summary: When the implacable Professor Helsing and his assistant Raffton travel to The Shadow Blight, they’ll need every weapon at their disposal to defeat Dracula’s vampire horde. In this captivating, dark Gothic puzzle-adventure, use Dr. Helsing’s powerful torch and tonics to save the world from the demonic uprising!

    ADDICTIVE PUZZLES
    Helsing’s Fire features a brand-new puzzle mechanic never before seen: use the touch-screen to position Helsing’s torch to illuminate different combinations of monsters, then destroy them in the correct order using Raffton’s supply of different tonics. The quick, rewarding puzzles make it a perfect game for brief play-sessions, but you’ll always want to play ‘just one more level’!

    A HUGE, DARK UNIVERSE
    With puzzles set across three worlds, with 30 different levels in each world, all featuring thirteen different monster types including three bosses, Helsing’s Fire provides an incredibly rich, deep, and varied game experience. And because on replays puzzles are re-generated randomly, the game will always be fresh!

    COMPELLING SETTING
    The Victorian theme, Gothic setting, and engaging characters make Helsing’s Fire one of the most appealing story-oriented puzzle games released. Add to that the distinct minimalist style of the character portraits, the incredible dynamic lighting of the shadows cast by your moving torch, and an original soundtrack, and it’s clear that Helsing’s Fire presents an epic experience. Designed just for the iPhone, this is high-quality mobile gaming at its finest.

    MULTIPLE MODES AND ACHIEVEMENTS
    As if the 90 distinct levels weren’t enough, Helsing’s Fire also comes with an additional Survival Mode, for the bravest of the brave! And when you’ve stood against the horde as long as you can, you can post your scores on the fully-integrated Crystal leaderboards, earning achievements for your accomplishments and claiming bragging rights from your friends.

    Helsing's Fire retains its appeal throughout the entire campaign with some of the most unique gameplay and ingenious presentation I've seen in an iPhone game.

    Helsing's Fire may be one of the most well-built games on the iPhone, and may be one of the most enjoyable, but every purchase you and your friends make for it, is another purchase against the undead.

    On the whole, whle I can see why many critics and players enjoyed the game, I found Helsing's Fire to be repetitive and bland, despite some bright spots. The fact is, if you're looking for a great puzzle game, there's many others out there that are simply better. But if you're looking for something that has a unique presentation, and doesn't take itself too seriously, then Helsing's Fire might be up your alley.… Expand
