Magic Words Arcanum Reviews

Sweet

It's a great app. I've played many word games and this is one of the best. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is I would like to see the letters rearrange after every area. This app is worth the money.

Fun

I can't give this game a five star, but I really like it. There are issues with a flickering screen before or after a game. $3.00 is a waste of money if this can't be fixed. The words need to be moved around also after each game, and not the same order. Fix everything and five stars will be given.

Almost there

I like the premise, but there are flaws that really hurt this game. - the letters are hard to read against some of the textures/backgrounds - the instructions are lacking, to say the least. What each spell does, how do you cast them, etc... Is all pretty unclear and requires some trial and error. - the bigger gem required for the more powerful spells are very hard to get. I think some refinement and further play development would push this into the must have catagory. Just not there yet.

Fun game

This game really puts your strategy skills to the test. I just wish it wasn't so hard to get the more powerful magic spells. It'd be nice if there was some music. It's still great the way it is though. Definitely worth the buy.

Great Game!

Even though I'm a professional writer and good with words, and even though I enjoy board and computer games, I've never really cared for word games such as Scrabble, Boggle, etc. The only reason I tried Magic Words Arcanum is that it billed itself as an RPG. Despite the "spells" aspect, I don't really view Arcanum as an RPG; nonetheless, I love the game and have found it to be as addictive as any pastime I've put on my iPhone. I especially enjoy the mental flexibility required in finding words that follow tortuous paths and/or require the use of spells to turn hidden possibilities into reality; and, though I don't normally have a competitive personality, I love the challenge of keeping myself high on the "leaders board."

Like the game but...

I like this game a lot, but the letters can be too hard to read against the background. There needs to be stronger contrast.

Very fun!

I really like this game a lot, but as stated previously, the letters are somewhat hard to read against a light background. Especially with the letters being translucent. Drop the fancy background we can't really seem to see anyway. Also gameplay is a little to difficult to be to early in the game. Several times I found myself stuck being overwhelmed by monsters, just because I needed to shuffle the letters around. Other than that, a great game and a different twist on the old word routine. Enjoy!

Still not quite right

I've had this app for years and was happy to learn that the buttons were finally fixed. However, there are still a few bugs that make it very hard to play. The worst is that it doesn't properly detect where you place your finger.
