I love this game, and I bought it as soon as the one hour demo was up. It is a match-3 game, but it has lots of extras--LOTS of extras. It is a lot like another favorite game of mine--Puzzle Quest.

I love this game, and I bought it as soon as the one hour demo was up. It is a match-3 game, but it has lots of extras--LOTS of extras. It is a lot like another favorite game of mine--Puzzle Quest. As in Puzzle Quest, you battle foes by matching wits with them in a match-3 game. Match 3 skulls and you damage your foe. Matching various colors of gems power up magic spells and special attributes of your armor and weapons. You obtain loot (weapons, armor, gold) as a reward for winning a "battle". It is all very complicated and chaotic, to be honest, and I hardly understand half of what is going on, but I still love the game play. Each "battle" is short and replayable, and you know how hard your foe is before you even pick a fight with them. It does make more sense as you go along, so I encourage any match 3 fans to give it a try. Show less

I recommend this game!

This game took me by surprise. It is a lot of fun, is very unique and is challenging without being frustrating. This game lacks the hold you hand kind of approach that most games have which I appreciate but might be a problem for newer players. Its been fun exploring and figuring it out, reminds me of games I had when I was younger (Sierra, etc). This is by far the best Match 3 game to come out ...Show more

This game took me by surprise. It is a lot of fun, is very unique and is challenging without being frustrating. This game lacks the hold you hand kind of approach that most games have which I appreciate but might be a problem for newer players. Its been fun exploring and figuring it out, reminds me of games I had when I was younger (Sierra, etc). This is by far the best Match 3 game to come out from BF in a very long time and I couldn't be more pleased. The look, sound and feel is amazing and so far, there isn't anything I would change. Even the story is engaging which is so unusual for a game like this. I am impressed. If you are new to attack based match 3 games (especially ones that make you plan, don't play this one) but if you want a challenge this is the game for you. Show less

Gameplay is easy first, but gets challenging after several levels.

There are help pages in settings, makes it easier to understand the game.

I only played for a half an hour, but I know its going to be a good ride!. If you can imagine, its a mixture of match 3 type game, and "Magic, the Gathering". Awesome for people like me

So addictive! I usually don't play Match 3 games but the rpg is really the bigger part. Just explore, fight, level up, fix used up equipment- it's a long game that makes the time fly!

I recommend this game!

Happy at the lake!

Gunspell is a storydriven task-based game where magic and guns combine to fight vampires, sorcerers, even monster ants. It's a combination of Match 3 and tasks as well as lots of power-ups.

Match 3 isn't my favorite game type, but in Gunspell the games are 'duels' against your opponents. If you match three skulls, the monster gets a hit - and vice versa. You also match 3 - 5 to get powerups, ...Show more

Gunspell is a storydriven task-based game where magic and guns combine to fight vampires, sorcerers, even monster ants. It's a combination of Match 3 and tasks as well as lots of power-ups.

Match 3 isn't my favorite game type, but in Gunspell the games are 'duels' against your opponents. If you match three skulls, the monster gets a hit - and vice versa. You also match 3 - 5 to get powerups, health points, money, etc.

This is what makes it so fascinating - you have to try and make the best match possible while setting up the worst match for the ant-wizard. Different opponents have different strengths, so at first the game seems easy. Fear not, it gets really challenging quite quickly.

Along the way you talk to fellow gunslingers in storyboard format. The illustrations are pretty good, but it's all static. I have no complaints, but the art doesn't leap off the screen.

Still, the game is SO compelling I had to hide it from myself so I could get some work done. Luckily the gunslinger's energy runs out, or I'd play all night. You can also recharge the gunslinger with a point and click game.

Kudos to the developers for producing a fun, challenging game that's different from the other bigfish games. Highly recommended! Show less

I recommend this game!

I am not really into shot-em-up type of games, but love a good match3. This was such great fun and enough of a challenge to captivate me for hours without an overload of frustration.

It's not really a Match3 as such as it demands good power-up strategy. It's sort of weird how an rpg and match3 meet with this, but it really is great fun. Out of the box, which is great for a change.

More, please!

I recommend this game!

I have never played many of the turn based combat games so when i tell you this is so much fun I forget to eat, that is monumental for me. If you've played Bookworm or Magic Life and enjoyed them you will like this game as well. Its exactly the same concept as the magic battles in Magic Life only just better and a bit grittier.
