Clever games curator review: 8/10 Short and fairly casual Match-3 RPG with strong Pokemon vibes. The majority of the game is spent in battles, where your matches decide whether or not you collect mana or attack using physical skills. Unless you can do a 4-in-a-row match you only get one turn and then the AI opponent makes a match on the same board. Thus, it’s important that your matches don’t set up your opponent for an even better turn after yours. This does however mean that you can’t set yourself up for future turns either, making most of the gameplay feel fairly short-sighted, and somewhat less strategic for it.
The other aspect of the game is deciding which creatures to capture, and yes you should definitely capture the Pikachu knockoff when you see him. Indeed, it is that much of a Pokemon rip-off /homage. The different creatures do have fairly different skills, and it’s fun to find the combinations that are well suited to each other.
The game is only moderately difficult, especially if you spend any time grinding to upgrade your creatures. I would advise not doing that so that there is at least some strategic choices to be made during the match-3 gameplay. You do spend some time exploring a large map, finding secrets and other little Easter eggs that make the game even easier, further reducing the need for grinding.
It seems like most of the negative reviews here stem from how short it is, about 5 hours. However I think that it would probably wear thin if it went a lot longer. As long as you feel like the price is appropriate for the amount of entertainment I think it’s a pretty good game.
It’s very laptop-friendly, with mouse and keyboard required to play. Touchscreen support is slightly broken in that taps are ignored, but drags work fine. Thus, the match-3 battles work just fine with touchscreens.
