I only played the one hour free game but after playing it I will buy this game. I like match three games and this one with the story line will be right up with the best of them. I really enjoyed it.

I recommend this game!

This is a pretty basic game for match 3. Each level you have to reach your goal in a certain number of moves. The music is not original to this game as I have heard it in other games all though it is soothing and does not get irritating. Every 10 levels or so you will get to play a hidden object level. BE WARNED there is NOT a hint to use. Objects you need to find are located in the top right ...Show more

This is a pretty basic game for match 3. Each level you have to reach your goal in a certain number of moves. The music is not original to this game as I have heard it in other games all though it is soothing and does not get irritating. Every 10 levels or so you will get to play a hidden object level. BE WARNED there is NOT a hint to use. Objects you need to find are located in the top right corner shown 1 at a time. Once you find an item, the next one will be shown. You cannot proceed with the game until all items are found and you have limited moves so if you click on the wrong item you will lose a move. The question mark is your help button. It will show you a page with the description of everything you need to know regarding special tiles and bonus tiles.
All told I found this match 3 game to be one of the more basic and lack luster games I have played. I recommend playing the demo before deciding to purchase this game. Show less

I just thought this game could have been better.
It needed a little more punch to it.
what you had to do was not clear.
you didn't know what was needed to get 3 stars.

I don't recommend this game.

Very basic. It does have a help to tell you how to play and at the end of a game you can hit the back arrow to replay. Graphic when starting the game tells you what to do. When playing upper right hand corner tracks progress. But no where good as the ones where you build a city.

I don't recommend this game.

I had two problems with this game.
one you could not turn off the music without turning off the game sounds as well. These should be separate.
two I am not a fan of limited move match 3 games. there is no relaxed mode.

I don't recommend this game.

First, it was slow and there was no indicator as to whether the screen was frozen or something was going on. Second, there was a description of how to make the moves but not much on what the objective was. Third, I didn't see a way to go back to previous puzzles to try to get a higher count on stars. Overall, it just didn't excite me.

I don't recommend this game.

This game is not for me. Not challenging enough. Would probably better for a beginner or child.

I don't recommend this game.

I was completely and utterly disappointed by this Match 3 game, and it looked so promising! The first feature I checked on was the Settings option, and noticed there was an on/off selection for FX.

I was completely and utterly disappointed by this Match 3 game, and it looked so promising! The first feature I checked on was the Settings option, and noticed there was an on/off selection for FX. Okay, birds chirping pleasantly in the background, I can live with that, but it turns out that this also includes a round of applause at the end of every level, what? I might also add that the music has nothing to do with Persia, what, what?

Let's back up a bit. This story starts with dialog explaining that Persia is the world's oldest civilization, known to have conquered Europe, Asia and Africa. It continues to say that in the heart of Persia, is Persepolis, the ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire, yada, yada, yada then something about ancient mythological figures. Then the story then does a complete 180 from where I think the story is leading, to a young Persian couple, excited about their upcoming marriage, until daddy steps in to demand that his daughter's fiance, bring him a legendary sword, as written in the scriptures, or he will not allow him to marry his daughter!. (insert needle scratching on a record here) Okay, so now we have a one on one story line, involving three people tops, so who exactly is doing the clapping?

Before each level, you are shown a single illustration showing you what happens when you make a Match 4, the next level a Match 5, L shapes etc. You can also look at all these pretty pictures when you click on the question mark icon. I say "look at all the pretty pictures" because that's all they are, it shows you what you receive when you make large bonuses, but it doesn't tell you what happen when you use those bonuses. If you go to the page that shows you all of the pretty pictures, it vaguely tells you that you receive a special bonus, but you're on your own to figure out what they do, or how to use them. There are no Power-ups available to use on stubborn tiles either.

Things aren't looking good by this point, but I proceed with caution, only to discover that this is a Limited Moves type Match 3, my least favorite kind. I finished the first level, with 5 remaining moves, and I earned nearly 1200 points, the level goal was to earn a mere 300 points. My reward? Well I earned 2 out of 3 available stars, what, what, what? Carry on, says I, level two. Somehow I earned a measly 540 points, even though this level was longer and slightly more complicated. My reward this time was 3 Stars, I'm still scratching my head on this one!

I knew this game was hitting rock bottom when I was tasked with a Hidden Object Scene, with Limited Moves as well.. I ended up losing all my lives (this is where I first discovered that the Hearts are your lives) I lost them because I kept running out of move clicking on just about everything in the room, trying to find the objects that matched the silhouetted shapes shown. Turns out the first 2 objects are actually jewels that don't match the silhouetted shapes whatsoever! Your reward? Well, you earn a Heart or life, in my case I lost several lives trying to "see" what they see, only to gain 1 life!

Other features that I hate are here as well. You can't make matches consecutively, one after another, you have to wait until the tiles finish falling. On several occasions, I made large matches, but didn't receive the bonus tile on the board. On one level the board is fairly large with large tiles, the next level the board itself is larger and includes twice as many tiles, that have suddenly shrunk in size. After completing the level goals, I have to wait an eternity for all of the bonuses to do their bonus thingy, before my score is finally totaled, isn't it bad enough that I have to wait after every match I make before matching again?

Please, please, please, try the demo before buying this game, even if you use a coupon. It has way too many annoying and unfun features! If you don't mind a Chain type Match 3 game, try Cradle of Persia instead. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

This game might have been okay- not likely- but the limited moves totally killed it. There is little explanation of what to do- no power-ups. At least I never found any. This developer has a lot of work to do to get me to buy a game.

I don't recommend this game.

There are no instructions. No power-ups that I could find. Limited number of moves at each level. The scoring does not make any sense. Not very exciting. The storyline was fairly interesting but the game itself is "meh" at best.

I don't recommend this game.
