Outstanding in the beginning then boring to bones
I wanted to love this game and it had a great potential. Very challenging in the beginning but down the path it turns to a complete annoyance and map travelling walk around want to be travelling. I did not bother to play the bonus chapter since I had enough with the primary game plot. This game does not feature anything new but small objects in the HOs and morphing silhouettes that are pretty much impossible to find. B- is a fair rating. Better than average but truly not ideal.

All-Round Good, Very Entertaining
I didn't play the first Sacra Terra, so I had no idea what to expect when playing this game, but I have to say, I'm impressed!
(based on demo)
Good Parts:
Best thing would have to be the storyline. The opening is great, and the cutscenes are awesome. Have to say there was not one bit of the story I found boring.
Great graphics, especially with the bright colours. Artwork is well-done.
Voice-overs are great.
HOS are good, icnlude some extra step objects and one zoom in mini scene. The HOS were a challenge, and weren't too hard either.
The map is very useful. Allows you to jump from locations and saves a lot of time.
Hint and skip recharge fast.
I actually liked the puzzles! I can;t say that about many games, but in total there was only 1 I needed to skip.
OK Parts:
Fair bit of backtracking.
Bad Parts:
Had to refer to the hint a lot. Did not know what to do for most of the game.
The skip took too long to recharge, and if you accidently backed out of the puzzle, you would have to start the recharge all over again.
Sacra Terra: Kiss of Death is not great, but it's not terrible either. It was nice to play for the demo, so I'd definitely recommend downloading the free trial!

GREAT FOLLOWUP
I always go into playing a sequel to a personal favorite game with some abivalence. I loved Sacra Terra: Angelic Night. It & the original Phantasmat are my top two favorite games. Of course, I had no doubt that I was going to buy it once I played the first 20 minutes or so.
While the storyline is nothing new, it was well told and flowed smoothly. Everything you collect along the way makes sense, and it wasn't completely overloaded with hidden object scenes. It had a great jump map so you didn't constantly have to travel from place to place. While it certainly wasn't the most challenging game I ever played, it certainly did present a certain amount of challenge.
I have to admit to liking the first one better, but that could be because I found the seven deadly sins storyline a little bit more original than this one.
You don't have to play the original to play this one, though it does make reference to it in this game, and one of the characters does play a more substantial part in this game than in the original one.
The graphics and voiceovers were very good and clear.
I enjoyed the bonus chapter, and it was a decent length.
while I enjoyed this game very much and it was a definite buy for me, I would say play the demo and make sure it is your "cup of tea" before buying.

An excellent sequel
This game plays like a large file game .From the opening scene where your unfourtunate boyfriend is kiddnapped and taken off to some god forsaken island and The creepy guy who takes you on his boat out to the island to find him I was hooked ! You soon acquire a map which allows you to travel about The morphing objects I am usually hopeless I found them easily .In fact everything falls into place not too many HO's a hint button that doesn't take forever [ I didn't use it very often] The scenes were dark without being rediculous and the succubus was suitably scary I am downloading the CE as I write I have taken advantage of the offer this weekend of buy one get one free

Well Worth the Money!
I just finished this game and enjoyed it very much. The storyline was scary and kept me on the edge of my seat. Definitely not a game for young children and some adults. I found the hidden objects with just enough difficulty to make it fun.
The map is very handy and the hint button is useful outside of the HOS. I only skipped one or two puzzles because they were the kind that when you moved something, four other things moved too and I have a short fuse with these kind of mini-games.
The bonus game was not short so you felt like you were getting your money's worth. Also, I am proud to report that I found all 34 of the beyond items, a first for me.

It was Ok, not worth CE Price
Nothing special about the game to make it CE worth....I played the 60 minutes....I may buy it when it becomes SE, although it was kindof boring, has you running in circles to get stuff, and the storyline wasn't anthing outstanding....

Based on the Demo.
Played the demo hoping to find a good game to purchase. Based on many positive reviews of this game, I expected this one to be a winner. This seems to be one of those "love it or don't like it" games. Perhaps this game appeals to its own particular audience. I could not find anything to really like about Sacra Terra:Kiss of Death CE.

Bit disappointed
I am afraid I have to agree with others who have marked the game down. The storyline itself really appeals but the game just doesn't live up to it. It is too linear, there were too many HOs in the demo and the puzzles were too easy.
I expect far more from a CE....sorry devs!

Too occult for my taste
I was excited to see this sequel, and was sooooo disappointed. There was more occult references than I'm comfortable with (and I love the more "dark" games). The game itself dragged on and I finally quit before the end. I loved the first Sacra Terra but this was awful.

Love the "BEYOND OBJECTS"
It's no secret that I love this developers games. I can always count on good entertainment. You will love the graphics on this game, eerie, spooky, just the right amount of darkness to draw you into the game until you forget about the time and become completely engrossed! You can play this game without having to play the other Sacra Terras but they are also excellent games. Your boyfriend was about to purpose when you leave for a second to answer the phone and he picks up an old spell book and starts to read a spell to summond a sucubus. Well be careful what you wish for, she appears and entraps your beau and dissapears as quickly as she appeared. Now you must travel to Sacre Terra, make your way over skeletons, clear away rubble and overgrown vines, find rusty keys and travel through portals to find him! You will find a map that will help you travel from area to area and show you which areas have tasks to complete. Another feature of the map "you can disable this feature" is an icon next to each area that changes from a heart to a skeleton to alert you where there are beyond objects "objects that change their shape" They could have put in more HO scenes in my opinion but they are done well, not to dark, and they are interactive such as opening up a box and zooming into the box to look for smaller items. The puzzles are simple such as flipping over tiles, remembering what the picture is and find a matching tile like a monkey/banana tile, nothing really new. I'm gonna go broke because the games this month are so good you want to buy them all!
