When I saw the icon for this Match 3 game a few days ago, it wasn't very appealing so I was in no rush to play it. There have been so many cartoon-style Match 3 games being released by one dev in particular, that I thought it was just another version of their M3 games.

When I saw the icon for this Match 3 game a few days ago, it wasn't very appealing so I was in no rush to play it. There have been so many cartoon-style Match 3 games being released by one dev in particular, that I thought it was just another version of their M3 games. Last night I was bored so I started playing it, and man was I wrong! Magnussoft has had a few good Match 3's lately, but Wizard's Quest has risen above all with stunning graphics, vibrant and interesting tiles with adorable frogs, purple and white toadstools, crystal balls, bright red apples etc. and with every new level, it seems they introduce an even better icon.

You can play the Swap type M3 in a Relaxed, Normal or Hard difficulty mode, and you can choose the graphics resolution and quality. I chose the Highest Quality setting and the graphics were amazingly crystal clear and detailed, which I'm sure won't be an option for some older computers because it may cause a slow performance. There are 3 Cursor styles to choose from as well.

There are 35 Achievements to earn, most of which have 3 categories within. In this particular M3 game, the achievements are a key component because you have to earn specific achievements to purchase items to build the Kingdom, which in turn allows you to progress. You also need to score a specific number of Points or Stars to purchase the upgrades of the Kingdom.

The goal for most levels is to clear all cells by making matches upon them, and I was pleasantly surprised that the cells were bright red, and some cells are triple-layered requiring 3 matches to remove them. There are a few levels that require you to collect a specific number of resources such as stone or diamonds, so those levels won't have cells to break through. If you break all the layered cells and complete the level within the time frame allotted, you will earn 3 Stars for a Perfect Score. You cannot replay the levels, what you get is what you get even if you don't earn a single star, however, I work around this scenario by keeping my eye on the Star Meter on the bottom left. If I lose a Star on the Meter, I just click the Pause button which pulls up a window that will allow you to replay the level. So if you're like me and have to play until you get all 3 stars, all you have to do is replay the level as soon as the star is deducted, but if you run out of time, this scenario won't work so keep your eye on the meter.

I have to give Magnussoft kudos for "out-of-the-box thinking" where the Obstacles are concerned, my favorite being the ooey, gooey, sticky, green Slime that covers some of the cells, it even looks like it's oozing out and dripping all over the cells beneath them! There are also cells that are flooded with water, tiles that are frozen beneath the ice etc, and it just fits this game to the tee. When you make matches of 4 or more tiles, Potions will appear on the board, the larger the match, the stronger the Potion, the bigger the explosion becomes. You will want to use these potions as often as you can because this will help you earn those ever-so-important achievements I mentioned earlier.

The bottom line here is that if you are looking for a fun Match 3 game with a different vibe, and has amazing and colorful graphics, then you really need to check this game out. I judged this game solely by the icon shown here on BF, which just goes to show you that you can't judge a good match 3 game by its cover icon! Show less

I recommend this game!

I am not a big player of match 3 games but do try them from time to time. This one had me hooked from the beginning. Cute story line, interesting play, different levels of difficulty, lots of "other" stuff to do besides just match 3.
Try it I think you will enjoy it.

I recommend this game!

a long game that will take a while to finish. you have power ups that recharge after you use them with like icons that you need to match to get the recharge. a good story. you are rebuilding a kingdom and restoring the dragon to the prince he once was. the princess is funny in the story.

I recommend this game!

Review based solely on Demo.

I usually love games from this developer, but on this one, I seem to have a different concept of what a "Relaxed" Mode should be. When I see "Relaxed" as an option for the playing modes, I think of unlimited moves and time. I play games like this to relieve stress, not increase it.

Review based solely on Demo.

I usually love games from this developer, but on this one, I seem to have a different concept of what a "Relaxed" Mode should be. When I see "Relaxed" as an option for the playing modes, I think of unlimited moves and time. I play games like this to relieve stress, not increase it. I think options for limited moves and/or time are wonderful for those who wish to play that way, but a "Relaxed" mode should remove those constraints. With this game, you still have a timer to beat and although there was no problem in the levels I played in the demo, I will not be purchasing this game because I want no timer to contend with as the challenges become more difficult in higher levels.

The story is imaginative and fun and the music is bright and appropriate. The graphics are clear, simple and bright. There are good explanations and instructions. The dialogue is short, helpful and printed. Actual gameplay was smooth and easy. There is a nice sense of achievement as you earn the necessary resources to build and upgrade structures for the town.

If the "Relaxed" mode was truly relaxed, I would have given this five stars and purchased it at the end of the demo. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

You will get to choose blind from the fortune teller if you get a "perfect' wheras it was choosing a from lotus flowers in the other

The pace of the game and the huge amount of levels you need to play to move forward to do your "building" get boring and tired after a while and become quite like completing a chore. I didn't even finish the Egyptian game.

I guess its a "value for money" game with plenty of levels. Its ok, but nothing new here at all, Show less

I don't recommend this game.
