Beware...

bechle

Very addictive. First iPhone game I've ever beaten and I've bought quite a few. Game says I spent like 48 hours in it. No regrets. ;-)

There is everything a good RPG should have. A team of 4 with a healer a tank and 2 dps, levels, random drops, quests, a little bit of grinding, a little bit of luck, and a lot of skills. All that in a minimalist package perfectly adapted to the touch screen, and perfect for a quick RPG fix.

Unsure

The game seems like it has interesting mechanics, but the English and editing are more awful the further you get. I have no idea what item descriptions are trying to say.

Not for kids!

UPDATE: This is even more bizarre, there seems to be a theme of one of the characters (the healer) being a servant of God, and they make fun of her and make her out to be an idiot. Really? I am not one to believe in conspiracy theories and I don't believe there are legions of evil people trying to trash Christians at every chance, but this is kind of blatant and strange. When you add it up, it is just stupid - they have a kiddie game theme, the main character curses in very inappropriate settings and they have a character who is a "servant of God" who is always the one who they make fun of and treat like she is stupid. What is going on here? It is downright strange. Howard, the captain of the team curses non-stop! It is bizarrely out of place in such a juvenile setting. This is a cutesy match-3 rpg of sorts that is marred by its overly syrupy child-like animations and story-line and then it is filled with curse words that are inappropriate for young children. It is almost shocking because it is so out of place. Weird.

So close

I thought the game was kid friendly until the in-game dialog joke about a female character being on her period. It was tacky and unnecessary. I don't want my boys thinking that is an ok subject for teasing. Now I've lost my trust in the authors judgement about what belongs in a kids game. The sad part is the dialog author otherwise does a good job of giving each character a distinct personality. Other than that the gameplay is addictive but linear with some difficulty spikes.

Almost a game here!

Pros: No micro-transactions Good game art Music not bad Cons: Gems are not random. Explanation on randomness of gems. If you set up gems in a certain pattern, a corresponding gem type will never, NEVER fall under some situations, they will never fall into a 5 slot you prepared. Due to this, it affects how you set the game up to win, having a strategy based on odds is more difficult without knowing the rules for what can fall where.

Terrible story, average game

The gameplay is fine, pretty standard match-3. Around halfway through the game there is a HUGE wall, normally it took at most 3 tries for me to beat a boss, this level isn't even a boss and I've tried it over 20 times. There's not really any replay value of levels you've beat already, so the best way to level is to keep fighting the battle until you level enough to beat it which is annoying. It's also nearly impossible to get anywhere without a random ambush every step of the way, I get it there are monsters around, but it shouldn't take 15 minutes to get to the level I'm supposed to be playing. The story though... it's horrid, you know exactly what's going to happen, and the dialogue is about as bad as it gets. Period jokes galore, the angry leader who attacks everything on sight, the forgetful girl is also the greedy treasure hoarder, the noble knight, terrible mocking of one character for no real reason (maybe it's supposed to be funny). I quit reading the dialogue pretty quickly once I realized it wasn't getting any better.

Good, could use better dialogue

This game has aged fairly well, with graphics that are cute and just fine for a match-3 game. The text was always understandable, but I could tell that a non-English speaker had done the translating. There are a good variety of enemy types to keep things interesting. I am hoping that the upcoming sequel has dialogue strong enough to match its solid match-3 core.

Excellent

Several hours. Both difficulties. Way worth it

Fun!

So glad I found this game. I like turn-based match three like this where you have time to think between moves. Much more relaxing and satisfying to me than other forms of the genre. Also this doesn't drain my battery much at all. Great job, developers!
