I did not like this game at all. I quit after a few rounds. The graphics, imo, are too busy and cartoonish. Maybe kids would like this game, but it's not for me. I got spoiled with the really good match 3's, Farmscape, Queen's Garden, Jewel Match 3 Royale, and others I could name. I own many of them and I'm always happy to see a new match 3 show up. It seems to me that there are more poor ones than good here lately. I wish developers would make as many as they do HO's. But now, I'll keep waiting for a good match 3 to show up.

I like games that go in to different worlds, especially if those worlds are a bright, colorful fantasy. I like modern time games a little less, although I own several. This is a good game, and I plan of buying it. It has a good story line and it moves right along and doesn't take forever to get to the next stage. You collect gems, and masks that are morphs. Sometimes there's more than one gem in an area, and the only thing I don't like about this game is that it doesn't show if you've collected everything in each area. I would have given it six stars if it had that feature.I really like the HO's and so far the mini games aren't the run of the mill and I didn't skip any but one. I'm not real big on mini games that you see over and over in different games.The art work is fine, although the people aren't as realistic looking. Not bad, just not as real looking as some games.This game was very enjoyable to play and I look forward to adding it to my collection and playing the whole thing.

About a week ago I received this as a beta game. I tried it, didn't like it and for the first time I didn't play the whole beta demo. This reminds me of old video games. Sorry, but I didn't like it at all.

Happy to see a new match3 but I won't be buying this one. That's too bad because it's a good game, EXCEPT for the tokens. Way too small and hard to tell which blocks are finished. It strained my eyes trying to see it all. I don't understand why so many match 3 games don't take a clue from those that are really clear to see and the game play/tokens larger; like the game Match 3 Royale, Farmscapes, Silver Tale, and Queen's Garden2, to name a few. Their game play is excellent, and the tokens are very different from each other which makes them easier to see. If it hadn't been for the small tokens I would have bought this game. It might be ok for other players, so give it a try.

I love this game. The art work, the story line, the characters, in fact, there isn't anything that I DON'T like about this game. I won't go in to all the bells, whistles, and story line since I see it all in other comments. I just finished the demo and I bought it right away. The full version is downloading right now. I have all the other Spirits of Mystery games and they just keep getting better and better. You picked another winner BF! Thank you!

Couldn't go to the end of the demo in this one, and I usually give a game a fair chance and play all of it. But not this time. I'm surprised this game was even offered. Not enjoyable at all. Rather boring.
I don't recommend this game.

I own a couple of Myth's Of The World, and I was very disappointed with this one. Sad to say, I found it boring and I almost quit before the demo was over, but I stuck it out thinking it might get better. I'm sorry to say the graphics couldn't begin to compare with those of the first couple of MOTW. There just wasn't the detail that this series is known for. The scenes were rather bleak looking. It has a good map, and it lets you know whether or not you found the collectible in each scene, which is a wolf fang and they were not hard to find. It also has morphs and I found a couple of them but to be truthful I didn't care enough to spend time looking for them. I didn't like the mini games, some were repeats, and I didn't care all that much for the HO'S. All in all this is, imo, a rather mediocre game. It just didn't hold my interest. It certainly wasn't worthy of a CE. Some of you may like it (although so far the reviews aren't anything to holler about) so give it a try. Personally, I'm passing on this one, and I don't think I'd find the SE any more interesting. It's not a terrible game, but it's ok. Just not what I expected.Try it, but in all honesty I can't say I'd recommend this game.

I didn't try this game for very long. I quit on #4 or 5. This just isn't the kind of match 3 game that I like enough to buy. The deciding factor was that it's timed, no relaxed to play. I also don't like playing the board where you can only play with x amount of moves. I also like match 3's that you can build things, or decorate. This game has none of those things that I like. Sorry, but this game is not for me.

What a great game, and wonderful story line! I've been waiting a long time for another really good match 3 game, and this certainly fits the bill. Other's have commented about most of the details, so I won't go into that very much. So many levels, and you get to build castles and decorate the lawns with birds, animals, statues, flowers, etc. After each level you visit the garden to collect stars and gold, which is what you buy the lawn items with. It also has bonus games you can play between levels if you like, it's Mahjong levels. You can win things there, too. I skipped the Mahjong and I was still able to get all the stars and gold I needed As I said, the story line is so cool; just the kind of story that I really like. Whomever came up with this story did a marvelous job. I haven't seen one quite like it in other match 3 games. And would you believe that I'm playing it for the second time? I am! This is a game that I no doubt will play many times. Great pick BF!
