Overall this is a bad game with some good elements. Some of the puzzles and HOP scenes are nice. I didn't have any problems with clicking something 1-2 times and it NOT registering like I've read on other reviews
It's a very short game (2 hours max), only consider it when it's less than $1, and even then use some discretion.
I'll put it this way, I was surprised at how short it was, but even so, I was so glad it was over
"Dance of Death" is an older game from 2015. It's a venerable 9 years old at the time of this review. It's a Hidden Object puzzle game, the type you normally see on mobile app stores or even as browser apps. There's literally hundreds of these on Steam, mostly published by Artifex Mundi, many of them free on mobile app stores, but this one will cost you money on Steam. There's a hocus pocus type magician show theme to the game, but this is a just a veneer over a tired and overdone set of hidden object minigames and Adobe Flash tier puzzles, wrapped together with a bunch of static screens that you "move" through by tapping your finger on your iPhone screen.
While these kinds of games are popular amongst casual gamers, it's difficult to argue this is a great value proposition as a PC game, especially considering the price of this compared to the hundreds of free HOGs on the mobile app stores. This is considerably worse than your usual Artifex Mundi copy + paste job.
It's from the Eastern Bloc shovelware pushers at Alawar, who are more famous for shoving well over one hundred RPG Maker asset flips onto Steam, all badly made cash grabs. Except for some reason they're wearing a fake moustache on this one... except they forgot to remove the Alawar splash screen when you launch the game. Oops. Why are these eastern european shovelware pushers always so shady and misleading? Can't they be honest about who they are? Oh no, of course not... if they were, people wouldn't be scammed into buying their crapware.
Crapware, what a word. I wish I never had to use it. But "Dance of Death" definitely counts.
The game only displays in 4:3 pillarboxed aspect ratio. It's possible they developed this using an old CRT they found in a dumpster, or this game has been specifically designed for people gaming on PC's from 1995... either way, this isn't really acceptable in the modern era of PC gaming.
These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game.
Reviewing SteamDB to check how popular this game was with players reveals a surprise... there's a modest spike in player counts for the game. But this only happened once, around the same time that trading cards were applied to the game... so this is just card idlers getting their cards and moving on. A closer look at the numbers shows the game just has a couple of players every week running up the game and idling it for cards, then deleting it. We must ask how it benefits gamers for there to be so many games like this, with no merit as a serious game, that only generate sales from people idling and selling the trading cards.
So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 100,000+ games on Steam?
"Dance of Death" has the almost unethical price of around $4 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam. This is also competing with over 11,000 free games available on Steam, many of them far better than this paid product.
You can also play any of literally hundreds of HoGs for free on your iPhone. So why bother paying money for the experience on Steam?
