They really went out of their way on developing this one and put a spin on it! Nice job!! Funny, since there haven't been many match 3 games out lately, I've been playing the 1st one & now the timing is great!! Love the colors, the music, the new outline of the game. You bet I bought it!! Hope they start cranking out some more!! Try it for yourself!
I recommend this game!

I had no idea E-FUN was going to come out with another episode in the adventures of Elera and her small band of fellow heroes.
I am so delighted that they did and I just bought the game.
Thing is, in this episode we have a major disaster to overcome: Elera isn't exactly Elera anymore. Sigh. Heroes really need to learn to get rid of the bad guy's right hand man before going off to celebrate. ...Show more

Bright, cheerful, not too hard and not too easy, Dark Possession is a lot of fun to play. The dev team spent their energies in coming up with a great sequel, more devilish matches, and a great narrator. I'd give you the actress' name but alas, Academy of Magic does not come with credits.
Hoping the adventure continues! Show less

This is a really delightful game. Plenty to do, gorgeous tiles, lots of upgrades, good obstacles, novel features, nice story..but..there is still no timer! This developer has been around for a long time and why they still cant put a timer on as a choice I simply do not understand.
This would be a five star M3 for me if they just added that feature! I just don't get it?

There are plenty of choices to make with your earned level loot, one a collection that helps with the story line. One that you can buy power ups, and one that dresses the main character. Its all great. Its a peaceful, colourful game that moves smoothly and the graphics are quite good on the side screen as well.
There are spider webs, objects to drop from the screen, tiles to clear, and morphs that let you turn a tile to the one you want...until your 'stage is complete' lol and many more features.
So try the demo. What a shame I still after all these years (yes years) I cannot give this style of game it's deserved full stars. Cheers. Show less

After I figured out how to play the game after restarting 5 times, it was a good game. For those that can't figure it out like me, here it is. When you go to upgrade, look up at the tabs 3 of them, world, tools and extras. That is it choose tools and that is where you buy the tools to use to break the 2 tiles when you get stuck. Buy your tools before upgrading all the worlds. I could not believe I ...Show more

Very much like the first game in this series. Good solid fun, however, if they do another one I would like to see different icons. Seems too easy just to redo your previous ones.
