Duskless: The Clockwork Army

The art, game mechanics, background music, and storyline are actually quite good. However, the game has bugs. I've never played a Match 3 game where sometimes you'd match 3... and the gems simply wouldn't move. It happened to me twice in the first 2 hours of play. There's also no main menu as far as I could tell. I couldn't figure out how to exit the game without using alt-tab. If you can get it for free, it's pretty fun, but among match 3 games, there are much better ones out there.

There's a standard 'match 3' game. The kind of match 3 is "slide-to-align-3-or-more-gems". What a player can expect ? Well, the plot went by me .. didn't stick. The game play, on the other hand, is OK, albeit a little slow to handle the collateral matches. Playing earns the player 'energy', which unlocks bonuses. Making 4+ matches earn the player more energy. Using the bonuses (hammer, for example, which will crush a gem) consumes energy. And ... that's about it. The game rates each level with up to three stars, but I couldn't figure out why since you can't replay any level. Still, with each level, you earn, by playing, various materials which are used in the plot - construct buildings or something. The strange part, to me, is when the player wants to exit the game. It is achieved by starting to play a level and then a "menu" button is available in the upper part of the screen. Weird they didn't think ESC would make more sense. Anyway, this is an OK game as far as I am concerned.

This is a great Match 3 game from E-FunSoft! If you've played any of their other Match 3 games, this follows in the same lines. The same voice actor, the same power-ups, the same building style ... all of the things I've come to know and love from their Match 3 games. The one major difference is this game has better graphics. On my 4K monitor, this game looks like it was made for that resolution. I will continue to buy and play these games. While they are not new or innovative, they are fun to play.

Thoroughly enjoying this game. Good match 3 with a few power move mechanics. Pleasing music and sound. Story is decent with amateur but entertaining voice acting. Looks good at 4K. Has kept my interest and with finish playthrough.

Overall I found the game enjoyable. I wasn't big into the story line of the game but the game itself is pretty solid. Graphics were done very well. No difficulty settings but I found the game was well balanced so they wouldn't be needed anyways. Sound was good but the music started getting to me after awhile due to it being so repetitive.
