The Match 3 game itself is identical to the first game in this series, Curse Of Darkness, but they have added a few new features as far as creating the "potions". When you have earned enough money, you can Create a Potion, and you will need to create 4 different potions to progress to the next level. Once you buy the potion recipe, a pop-up window will appear and you will search for the ingredients in the scene. Then you click on those ingredients in the order shown to create the potion. This is a simplistic step, and more of a time-waster than anything, for me personally.

A pop-up window will appear before the game starts warning you that you may have to play the game in Windowed Mode if you are playing on Windows 10, however, I didn't select the windowed option and I didn't have any issues whatsoever.

The only complaints I have with this game, are that the tile elements are so alike and "busy" that at times, that it gets difficult to tell them apart or see available matches. I'm also a little disappointed that you don't earn any bonuses or power-ups when you make large matches, it just says, "good job" or "terrific Match 5."

This is a swap type Match 3 game, where you swap elements to make Matches of at least 3 identical elements. You must make matches over all of the Gold Cells, and make the required amount of matches of each Element shown. Elements inside of bubbles, morph (I think they appear when you make large matches, but I'm not positive) you can wait until the desired element appears inside the bubble, and pop it to help set up matches.

There are the usual Obstructions of Chained or Double Chained Tiles that require one or two matches of whichever element is chained, or pesky spiders that will spin webs over the tiles if they aren't destroyed by a match under them. Some levels require you to collect various items by dropping them off of the board as you make matches under them.

There are Four different types of Power-ups available, and each one requires a Mana Meter refill after each use. The Hammer destroys a single element or chain, Bombs cover a 4 tile range (more as you progress) Lightning hits random tiles and the Crucible removes all of the same kind of tile element.

Although there aren't really any new features offered, it is a colorful, swap type Match 3 game (some of which look too similar) The levels progress nicely with slightly more challenge with each one. The power-ups are easily accessible, and the goals are obtainable. You can earn up to 3 Stars per level, which is a little more difficult than you'd think, to earn all three, enjoy!

If you need to unwind after a busy day, or if you're looking for a way to pass the time on a lazy Sunday afternoon, look no further than this game. You'll enjoy yourself.

If you are looking for a compelling story line, or challenging game play, keep looking. You won't find either one here.

Most would enjoy this cute game. Some won't.

Try the demo and decide for yourself.

I recommend this game!

If you play in windowed mode, go into options and select full screen. Takes away all the problems with such a small screen. Nothing spectacular, but a cute way to pass time. Graphics are great as well as the dialogue and storyline.

I recommend this game!

Normally don't buy M3 since that's not my kind of game but saw positive reviews so took the plunge. It's rather pleasant to play, music is enjoyable and not intrusive to the game (like some is) and has a bit of a challenge now and then but not much.

Normally don't buy M3 since that's not my kind of game but saw positive reviews so took the plunge. It's rather pleasant to play, music is enjoyable and not intrusive to the game (like some is) and has a bit of a challenge now and then but not much. Idea is for "heroine" to make enough potions to revive her sister she "killed" by mistake. Takes awhile to accumulate power-ups but problem is you use one and they all time out until you accumulate enough matches to get them fired up again.

You also accumulate money but have no idea why since you can't seem to purchase anything - at least so far.

So if you want a relaxing game and a relief from the constant offerings of doom, gloom, hideous faces and creepy creatures these days go for it. Show less

I recommend this game!

As a match 3 game this has nothing new and exciting. And yet, it is fun. You help Crystal go through adventures and make potions to save her sister. The game play is never too difficult although some levels did take ten to fifteen minutes. The hidden object levels were too easy. Took about 10 seconds. If there is a sequel I will check it out.

I recommend this game!

Just an FYI. Windows 10 and I had to open the game in windowed mode but after it opened I was able to open the options and select full screen. A usual match 3 game, good for zoning out.

I recommend this game!

I saw I had purchased the first in this series so I thought I would give the demo a go. I got so bored I almost fell asleep. Maybe the one I have is bad too.

Voice overs were weird and the potion making was too. Very standard Match 3 game. Glad I didn't just buy it outright.

I don't recommend this game.
