Top Pro

Interesting mix of match three and RPG

Players are in a traditional RPG world and do level up characters as they would in an RPG but the main gameplay mechanic is match three where players line up their troops against an opposing team doing the same. There is also defensive aspects to the field, so it is a bit more involved than a traditional match 3 game. See More

Top Con

Writing comes off as a bit childish

While the original target of the game may have been young adults or children due to its release on the DS (a mainstay of gaming for kids) the writing shows its roots and may come off as a bit childish. See More

Local and online mutiplayer

New to the PC and console editions (as apposed to the DS title) there is now 4 player multiplayer that can be played locally and online. See More

Lengthy campaign

Top Pro

Stress free timely decision making

The game can be paused at any time, which allows for one to contemplate their next move in the game. This makes for a less stressful experience since one can leisurely make their decisions without it impacting the gameplay. See More

Top Con

Late game battles are long and boring

In the later parts of the game battles are very long which can make for a bit of a boring experience, especially for those that would rather be exploring than spending so much time on battles. See More

Specs

Genre:Roguelite

Top Pro

Morality based decisions

The game works a lot like a text adventure in a roguelike wrapper. The decisions asked of the player during this adventure can affect much of the stories plot, making for an interactive story through choices. Such choices could be telling aliens you are a god in order to potentially receive less trouble in your encounter with them, or abducting aliens in order to sell them for a profit. One choice may appeal to the player more than another, allowing you to play as a morally bankrupt space captain if you choose. All in all though this is all up to the player, which can be really fun to see what may happen. See More

Top Con

Can be pretty difficult

The amount of choices to be made (many not being good ones) and the randomization of the game makes for a situation that may be too difficult for some. This is not a game that you will beat in one play session nor 10, it takes a lot of time to get in a good run that results in winning, which some people may not have patience for. See More

Sproggiwood

Gameplay simple to understand

Top Con

Town building feels shallow

Players are able to design the town (basically the overworld) that they reside in between dungeons. It serves mainly as a visual menu system to upgrade or unlock classes and equipment. There is not much to it design wise that one can dive into and so falls a bit flat. See More

Genre:RPG / Roguelike

Controller Support:None

Colorful design

Using a bright palette with cartoony design makes for a game that is easy to tell what is going on as well as pleasing. See More

Costume Quest

Top Pro

Turn based combat with timing mechanics
