Detective Solitaire: Inspector Magic And The Forbidden Magic

Detective Solitaire: Inspector Magic And The Forbidden Magic is a basic mobile-app like solitaire puzzle game. Solve various puzzle levels using Klondike style card moving and matching. It's been done a million times before, for free, and free on mobile app stores too... yet this one has a hefty price tag on it. Who knew you can just charge $5 for mobile trash? I guess Creobit does. The developer, Creobit/8Floor, has copy + pasted this game an insane SEVENTY TWO TIMES onto Steam with minor reskins... why cash in on one asset if you can cash in on multiple copies of the same game? Asset flipping begins at home! Here's a list of Creobit's copy + pastes of this asset: [list] [*] Dangerous Solitaire. Zombie Fever [*] Dark Solitaire. Mystical Circus [*] Detective Solitaire Inspector Magic and the Man Without Face [*] Detective Solitaire Inspector Magic [*] Detective Solitaire The Ghost Agency 1 + 2 [*] Detective Solitaire. Butler Story 1 + 2 [*] Detective Solitaire: Inspector Magic A...

very simple gameplay, only one style of solitaire and no story.

Full disclaimer: I got this title on sale for .49 cents USD. And honestly, having over 30 of the same kind of title from the same dev, it's pretty much the same. I think this studio does try, even if it's getting a bit lazy lately on descriptions and saying every game from the lunch one to this has pirate-themed music. But it's essentially the same game. The layouts this time are suitably dreary, and new to me, but I have a backlog of these titles to play. You play as a detective, sort of. There are awards for winning a hand that sound like clues, but you'll just be playing solitaire. The need for mechanics such as jokers seems to kick in super early on this one, and it seems harder than some of the other titles. And if the RNG Gods aren't with you, be prepared to buy all the jokers you can to make it through a hand. It seems to have the same flaw as all the other titles, where the card you just used is also the one you draw. Overall it's just OK. I wouldn't call it shovelware, but...
