I really enjoy match 3 games with a story line and different challenges. This was a great surprise! It has not only a story line but different challenges for each match 3 episode that you play (such as remove all the given colors which takes some planning but it lets you replay if you don't succeed).

I really enjoy match 3 games with a story line and different challenges. This was a great surprise! It has not only a story line but different challenges for each match 3 episode that you play (such as remove all the given colors which takes some planning but it lets you replay if you don't succeed). I enjoyed playing this game and recommend it for those who like M3 games with a slight twist. It's not boring at all for this player. Finally, a new M3 that isn't stale nor boring. Try it, you may really like it as do I. Show less

I recommend this game!

I love a good match 3 game. But I must admit, I want them to have something extra. This seemed like it might be the ticket since it has different goals for you to complete on any given level, but goals were pretty repetitious and the boards were not very challenging. I gave up after 40 minutes of play because I was bored. "Ho hum, "hum drum" is all I can say... Try "Claws and Feathers" for a fun ...Show more

I'm usually not a difficult gamer to please, but no matter how hard I tried to enjoy this game, I just didn't have fun playing. With that being said, I'm sure there will be players out there who will like this game so here are the basics. You can choose to play the Campaign mode with a story or Free Mode in easy, medium or hard without the burden of the story. There are several different quest such as Classic, where you have a limited time to clear the board, Arcade where you make matches and pull special crystals to the bottom of the board, Archeologist where you match special tiles on the board, Digger where you move down and destroy ground tiles, and Puzzle where you match all of the tiles and clear the field.

There are only two types of blocked tiles or obstacles, Ice and block tiles which can be destroyed by making matches near them. There are Bonuses to earn such as Bombs by matching red tiles, Fairy by matching violet tiles which will destroy tiles from one end to the other, Lightning by matching blue tiles which will destroy tiles horizontally, Strikes by matching green tiles which will destroy tiles vertically, Spectrums by matching yellow tiles which will destroy same color tiles, Rockfalls by matching orange tiles which will destroy randomly, Crystals with coins give you extra points when matched and Crystals with timers add more time to the timer.

The tutorial is pretty much void, the crystals aren't appealing, there aren't enough matches available at times and the game mechanics seem to be archaic and clunky in my opinion but perhaps you will have better luck. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

The game seems fun (hoping the level of challenge increases after the tutorial). But the translation is awful. I don't know what's the original language, but the English was really bad, and I tried in French and it was worse. I had to stop after 10 minutes. Both the story and the explanation were almost impossible to understand.

I don't recommend this game.

This game would have been fun IF I hadn't had to start thsi game at Level 15 EACH and EVERY TIME that I exited and re-entered the game!!!!!!!!!!

Despite the game claiming that I've completed 39 levels, I could NEVER find a way to get to that level and to click on Level 40 to continue on. WHY???

After about a week of THAT STUPIDITY, I wiped this game OFF my computer.

I don't recommend this game.

I tried to give it more time hoping it would get better but it didn't. Very repetitive and no challenge. Nothing interesting or unique about graphics, sound, entire game. Music very annoying.
