What a way to start the week! Cursed House 4 is by far the most challenging game of the series! Did you know that this series has an Irish Language version available?

What a way to start the week! Cursed House 4 is by far the most challenging game of the series! Did you know that this series has an Irish Language version available? I wasn't aware of this until today, I'll have to check that one out too. If you are looking for an easy breezy Match 3 game, this probably isn't the game you want, however there is a Relaxed mode available as well as Limited Moves or Limited Time, and you can switch between modes on different levels to help you beat difficult levels. Eventually, you will be given the option to skip a difficult level without penalty, after several replay attempts, and in the Bonus Levels, you will receive interactive hints after 10 replay attempts.

The Cursed House is filled with evil spirits, that can only be banished by an ancient Amulet (where do you get these ancient amulets, it seems to be all the rage, every game has one nowadays) The Amulet can only be powered by collecting hundreds of coins, therefor, the only object of this game is to collect coins, coins that are difficult to collect at that!

Large matches will give you a Power-up, and power-ups are critical, because most coins are blocked by obstacles that require a power-up to destroy them. A match 4 will give you Dynamite to explode by moving it or double clicking. A match 5 will give you a Morphing Power-up to choose either a Rocket which targets obstacles, Lightning which destroys all identical tiles match with, or a Dynamite Barrel, these power-ups do not move when you make matches beside or below them.

Levels with Trunks require you to collect Trunk Coins, when all trunk coins have been found, you need to make a match adjacent to the trunk or trunks that will vibrate to alert you that all trunk coins have been located. Once the trunks are opened, you receive bonuses and other parts of the board are unlocked.

Some levels have Cannons that require you to make matches next to the wick to fire the cannon to start a chain reaction, some cannons are locked and you must make matches in front of the key to allow the key to move towards the lock. Firing the cannon also opens up other parts of the board.
There are several types of coins besides the gold coins and trunk coins, Dusty coins that need two matches, coins that are split in half requiring matches in front of the pieces to join the two halves. Coins that need filled in by collecting falling drops of liquid or gold by dropping them off the board to fill a vial. Bug coins need to be collected to get rid of pesky bugs that annoy you, and Red bugs need to be pushed off of the board because they are invulnerable to power-ups.

Some tiles have obstacles such as boarded tiles, some boarded tiles have shields that require matches made on the sides without the shield for more challenge. There are Stone tiles, Lava tiles, Chained tiles, ice tiles, Rock tiles and Fog tiles that require either a match adjacent to them, most but not all obstacles can be destroyed with lightning explosions or bombs. There are even Green and Red Hot Stone tiles that require matches on top to destroy them.

After playing a few levels, you get to play a Mini Game such as Higher/Lower Solitaire that has an extra slot to store any face up card to use in a match later and unblock cards on the board. There are also Hidden Object Scenes and one of my favorite games, Spot The Difference which has very subtle differences and wasn't as easy as you'd expect.

This game is by the same devs that created Laruaville 1-6, Floria and Spellarium, which are super fun Match 3 games as well, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

There are also bonus levels where you can choose relaxed or time modes. This is a great game. Show less

I really enjoy the Cursed House games. Hopefully they will be fun for you too! I am writing this review at 4:30 am EST, just me and my cat, as I try to keep my mind off of Hurricane Irma that is raging like crazy! I'm afraid to go to sleep, LOL. So right now this game is my good friend and distraction!

What can I say, it's fun! Probably the best yet. There are some new quirks and some old ones. It's just a simple little game to play without using a lot of brain power. A good way to have a little relaxation. Try it and you'll agree.

I recommend this game!

I'm a big fan of this series. I enjoy games where I can just play at my own pace. This has 3 modes of play. Relaxed play works for me, but if you want a challenge, try Limited Moves. It can get very challenging!

I recommend this game!

I am a big fan of all the cursed houses - also the Laruaville series too so this one just fits perfectly. I like that it isn't your usual match three. You really have to think through the levels. It isn't just your cut and dry match 3. Love the power ups too.
Many hours of interesting play!

I recommend this game!

Same basic idea as devs other games with a few added differences (as well as bonus games), to keep it interesting! I thought this was a good game with replayability. Nice graphics and appropriate music.
I have all in the series, and will look forward to the next one!

I recommend this game!

This is the best cursed house. More strategy- less just blowing things up. I love everything by these developers. Cursed House series, Laruaville series, Floria, Spellarium- all great games. If you are new to these games I suggest you start with the first Cursed House and work your way up although each is a stand alone game.

I recommend this game!
