Based on the demo, custom setting (no sparkles, no task panel, no tutorial, no zoom).

I was prepared to skip this game entirely because it came from Domini's studio, but what can I say - I just had to give it a try in spite of the dreadful cookie cutter games that have come out of this studio lately.

Marshes Curse, even though the basic premise of vengeful witch has been done ad nauseam, is actually a good game!

The game play so far is elegant and nearly devoid of tedious play-worn tasks - the one or two present in the demo are not the main focus, as is so often the case; they are more of an aside.

The dialog is intelligent, and there have been no fantasy-breaking idiotic actions or mistakes.

The morphies and collectibles are not always in your face, but are not terribly hard to find; they are pleasantly hidden which is a plus for me because as much as I enjoy those little extras, I don't really have the time to endlessly hunt for them.

I was very surprised to see that at least one of the mini-games is one I've not played before. I even had to skip it. Blush.

So. I am buying this game for myself for Christmas, and for me to say I am buying another Domini game is a really big deal. Show less

I recommend this game!

OFF ON A WITCH HUNT TO DRAIN THE SWAMP

fromThis game proves that nothing is worse than a witch with a bad attitude! These two witches woke up (resurrected) on the wrong side of the broom!

REVIEW BASED UPON THE ENTIRE GAME
3 Chapters Plus a Bonus Chapter – Strategy Guide: 45 pages (My Time: 7 Hours)

Get your amulets charged and head off to the town of Liberville to partake in a witch hunt in this premiere game in a new series. Play a royal advisor to the king who investigates unusual happenings within the kingdom. In this game, you will get two witches for the price of one – a pretty, nasty one in the main game and an ugly crone in the bonus chapter! Hopefully you can drain the swamp of these two hags causing chaos in the kingdom.

This game follows the same pattern as previous games from this developer. There are three collectibles, amulets, morphing witch’s belongings, and coins. I found most easy to locate; however, I did feel some were too small to be identified. I do hope Domini will enlarge the collectibles in future games. The coins are used to purchase items for a witch’s garden upon completion of the game. The stories are well-written for both the main game and the bonus chapter. I found the pace excellent with plenty of activities within this game. As always, Domini provides more game for the money with an incredible number of creatively designed puzzles and ingenious HOP scenes.

In summary, for the cost, and in comparing this game to other developers’ games, this game is well-worth the price for the entertainment value. For those who love puzzles (like me) these "puzzlemeisters" provide an exceptional number of creatively designed puzzles, most which can be played in an easy version for a light-hearted, easy, breezy game or in a hard version for those wanting more challenge. Although they are best-known for their puzzles design, I found the HOP scenes in this game ingeniously designed. This is my favorite designer and seldom am I disappointed in the quality of their games.

MECHANICS:

• Four (4) levels of play including a customized version.
• 38 achievements.
• Collect 15 amulets and 15 morphing witch’s belongings
• Collect 65 witch’s coins used to purchase items for a Witch’s Garden
• 10 wallpapers along with concept art, music, and video sequences
• Replay 18 HOP scenes and 18 mini-games

BONUS CHAPTER: It is sequel. As the king’s advisor you are off to Rainville, a town plagued by bad weather, the result of another nasty witch out for revenge. This story is a continuation of the story from the main game. There are five (5) HOP scenes and seven (7) mini-games. I found the story a nice sequel to the original game with activities like those within the main game. This is a long chapter and a nice addition to the game.

HOP SCENES: There are eighteen (18) HOP scenes, all of which can be replayed upon completion of the game. Again, Domini provides more variety in creation of their HOP scenes than any other HOPA game designer. I have several favorites in this game. In one scene, the player must place items used to create a potion on the proper numbered squares. Another favorite of mine involves locating fluttering butterflies – just incredibly beautiful. Another has morphing frogs which I found amusing – Ribbit! Most have more than one scene in which to search for items and I loved one in which scenes are brought down using ropes.

MINI-GAMES: There are twenty-seven (27) mini-games, eighteen (18) of which can be replayed upon completion of the game. Most can be played in an easy version for a hard version. This can bet set in the menu, but the difficulty can be changed if the puzzle proves to be too easy or too difficult.

SPOILERS: HERE ARE SOME OF THE 27 MINI-GAMES FROM THIS GAME: (E = Easy; H = Hard)

A. Assembly puzzle. Place boards into position to create a set of stairs with no gaps between the boards. Correctly placed, boards stay level.
B. E/H. Maze puzzle. Ride a horse. Ride a horse while avoiding obstacles in your path. Hard version has more obstacles blocking your path
C. E/H. Switch puzzle. On six circles, each with 4 flowers, rotate them so that flowers which are next to each other are the same. In the hard version, you must not only rotate the circles to match up the flower but you must switch the circles as well to get it to work properly.
D. E/H. Position gems on bracelets so they match up to a given image. Gems can move up-and-down on the bracelets using arrows. You can also switch gems within the same row. The easy version has 3 bracelets and the hard version has 4.
BONUS CHAPTER:
E. Map puzzle. Find a way out of a forest avoiding obstacles in your path. Pick up items along the way to help maneuver through the forest.
F. E/H. Connection puzzle. Use the rays of a lantern to scare away cave creatures. All pairs of eyes must be hit by the rays. The hard version has more eyes to connect to the rays of light
G. E/H. Sequence puzzle. Click on 4 lions in the proper sequence following a given guide. The hard version has a more complex sequence to follow.
H. E/H. Climb up a cliff to get to the top choosing the correct objects. If you choose wrong stone or stump, you restart. The hard version has more choices to ponder. Show less

I recommend this game!

This game came out December 2021. I like that it has outlines in the plus items and it doesn't impede when finding hops items. I like the full on colors in the scenes.

I liked the rug, greenhouse, butterfly and morphing hops. I liked most of the mini-games. I always look forward to most collectibles that Domini has. It has humor and thoughtful text to go with the enchanted witches' belongings and amulets. I always like buying things and this time it's for a witches' garden. I do think they could have more collectibles. Some items should be larger as some are very tiny.

I liked the bonus chapter.

Replay 22 videos, 18 hops, 5 music and 18 mgs. Has 10 wallpapers and 10 concept arts. Show less

I enjoy playing games through this developer and I enjoy playing games based on fantasy. I enjoy playing these games because there is a matching function rather than using the hint to find objects. I prefer to play hidden object games this way

I like the game, but if I pause by shrinking game player app, sometimes it resumes the game and other times it won't load, I uninstalled it and reinstalled it but after getting midway in the game and I shut down, it won't resume the game. I ge internal error code 2. Soooo frustrating!

I don't recommend this game.

There are 3 easter eggs to find- coins, witches belongings and amulets. In the extras you can buy stuff for the witch's garden. There is a good jump map interface for navigating around, it shows actions needed and easter eggs that need discovering. A popout panel on the left show you what items need to be found.

Good customizations with a strategy guide. Show less
