Love This Game!!!

My husband and I love this game! We only have one iPad so we play this game together, developing the abilities of the same character depending on who has the iPad at the moment (we let each other know when we have new abilities or if we make any discoveries). It’s a perfect game to pick up and put down anytime since it’s turn based and the battles can easily be re-fought if necessary (though it’s really hard to put down when you have a good battle going!). The dialogue is fun and doesn’t take itself too seriously and I like how the game and your skills unfold as you level up. Our toddler likes using the iPad too and sometimes she’ll pick this app because she sees how much we enjoy it (mostly she’ll just use every thing in the pack because she likes seeing the graphics work and then she’ll spend all of our money, but I like that it just extends the game for us!). I also appreciate that there are no in-app purchases. Challenging and super fun, I hope they keep adding more stories and levels!
Game is SO unbalanced - time to delete

There are many quests where the monsters keeps calling in more and you cannot beat them fast enough before one of them calls in another. I spent almost 20 mins fighting one wave of monsters because of this and just gave up. And it happens enough now to be super annoying and a waste of time to stay in the same round for 15 or 20 minutes and make no progress and waste items.
This game is spectacular

Bought this because it has the characters from monument valley and I'm so glad I did. Great story, amazing gameplay, I can't put it down. My only complaint is not being able to change the skin tone of my character. Other than that, I can't wait to see what's in store.
Really lovely, but needs tweaking

I have to concur with other reviewers who have said that the game needs balancing. There are far too many moments where I am unable to progress, too many play sessions ending because I'm stuck and having the opposite of fun. The gameplay in those moments are frustrating because monsters keep calling new monsters in what feels like an endless, unwinable battle. I run out of healing potions quickly; they are too expensive to replace without a lot more gameplay on way-too-easy levels. I would at least like to see some kind of monster counter during a match to let me know how many foes I am up against, so that, if I see that it's hopeless, I don't waste potions. That said, I love the aesthetic of the game, and the gameplay itself has great potential. Discovering new spells and new monsters is a great feature, and the dialogue is charming. I'm sorry that I can't give it more stars right now, but the frustrations inherent in the game's imbalance keep me on the verge of deleting.
Worth the Money

This sequel to the original Glyph Quest (also super fun) is everything a sequel should be. The cute art, amusing writing, unique spells, and match-3 gameplay are all present and expanded upon. All the cameos from other games are handled well and don't break the feel of the game while still alluding to their games. I do admit that the game is quite grindy at times, maybe depending on what level up traits you pick, hence the 4 stars. But given how many fans felt the original was too easy (although it was quite difficult to me) I'm not surprised. The ability to do side quests and redo areas to grind helps with that though.
Spectacular!

This has nice gameplay, and a simple but enjoyable plot. Although the bone-bird things are annoying in their regenerative power, I'm willing to overlook that. Because of the Hatoful Boyfriend cameo. Just, so yes.
A few tweaks and it would have rocked

Color link-match spell battle featuring gorgeous artwork. I've had this on my ipad for over a year, and finally got around to playing it again. Now I realized why I haven't gone back to it sooner. It's unbalanced, as others have reported, and I find the combination spell linking quite confusing. The sound is uninspired, but again, visually it's stunning. There are now way too many games similar in style that take the genre much further.

matching rpg puzzle gem that has a ton of content and great graphics. The gameplay is fun, challenging, and innovative. Get this.
Very well balanced, doesn't penalize harshly for failure; just play smarter

SGQ isn't an easy game, but it's not impossible. The (possibly final?) worst boss I've faced is properly very difficult to beat. The worst punishment in this game is that you must replay the adventure levels to regain healing items and money for healing items. The game rewards you for figuring out better ways to make chains and better setups to get the spells you need. It'd be one thing if you needed in-app purchasing and the game was somehow unfair, but this game is fair. You know how you died, and if you lost, it wasn't because the game was programmed to pull off some highly improbable action to defeat you. You pay once for it and have all the time (and no need to spend more money) to improve your skills.
