Gunspell - Steam Edition

My first review on steam, just to warn you guys: Its the worst game i ever bought. A very, very bad mobile-port. There is absolutely no challenge in this game. It dosent matter which blocks you move. You will always win by luck even if you try to lose! Because 90% of the enemies do 10-20 dmg on my 500 hp pool and i do about 180 dmg on their 100 hp pool with one simple move. In about 70% of the "epic fights" this happens at the first turn! So you just jump from one loading screen to next, clicking buttons - its nothing more than clicking buttons. Non-existent gameplay value. It feels like its done for 5 year old kids. I highly recommend TO NOT BUY! (I can recommend "puzzle quest" if you are looking for a rpgish puzzle game.) Edit: And there is also this horrible stamina mechanic, which forces you to play an idiotic "click the buttons when the buttons flash up" game and it takes AGES to fill up the stamina bar. Stamina is clearly an mobile-device-mechanic used to limit the play time ...

It's an alright game. The puzzle aspect is pretty much what you'd expect from this kind of game. Cons - Extremely repetitive, even for this type of game. - WAY too easy, you pretty much can't lose. (I'm talking about enemies hitting for 5-10 damage, I have 700 HP, even 'hard' enemies.) - Inventory is tiny, costs a lot to upgrade, but you don't really need it. Pros - Lots of equipment to choose from - Variety of ways to damage enemies, spells, weapons, artifacts, etc. Overall, I'd say it's not worth the money. It's for sure a mobile port, and you can tell it used to have micro transaction (this version does NOT). Unless you are a super hardcore puzzle fan, and want to play all the puzzle games you can, I'd suggest you steer clear. I myself will play for awhile longer, since I already bought it, and I'm wondering if it gets better (if it does, I'll come back and change this).

This game is being a bit unfairly judged, while it does not have the polish of a Puzzle Quest this game does get far more challenging as you play. The first 2-3 hours is quite easy and you can easily progress without any challenge, once you get around level 7-8 or higher quite a few enemies will hit you extremely hard, and you can die quite easily. If you like the Puzzle Quest style of gameplay this is a decent pickup.

TL;DR In short, the plot is strange/incomprehensible, it seems to have been translated by someone with an 8th grade grasp of English, and it wasnt ported to be used w/a mouse at *all*. The graphics and music are worthwhile and nice. Get it on the Android and play it with a touchscreen, which is obviously how it was meant to be played. Youd probably pay a lot less too. Itd be a great Android game. PC, not so much, especially at the price they're asking. If you're really hard up for a Match3 *and* its at least 50% off , pick it up. EDIT: Something that annoys me the longer I play. EVERY time you switch screens theres an (admittedly only a second or so - thank god) loading screen. Want to look in your inventory? Loading screen. Meditate? Loading screen. Char sheet? Loading screen. Fight? You get the point... This is completely annoying and unneeded. Maybe the Android needed the constant loading, but this should have been one of those things that was upgraded for the PC port. Especially f...

Unimaginative and repetitive. I am a fan of puzzle rpgs and i have probably played every one available on pc. I didnt enjoy this one sorry

Overall: It's fun and enjoyable if you like these gem games mixed with RPG elements. I'd put it on par with Galactrix, except it doesn't feel as monotonous as Galaxtrix. Gunspell is a bit more linear, and a lot more customability. I wouldn't have minded other character choices, but the story is based on the character you are. So, that's fine.

If you like puzzle games, this is pretty fun. 1 thing to note. The creatures you fight get more challenging after you get to level 7 or so. They start to hit harder, have more hit points, and use items more often. So while I wouldn't say this is the best game ever, it is still a pretty fun and entertaining game.

If you are looking for a mind numbing match game with a hint of rpg, lots of bad grammar, and lack of options as far as sound (has a few bugs too) then this is a game for you, not bad for a 2-5 dollar pickup but not worth the full price.

Could of been good, if it would not be pay to win, and if the text would have been corrected. Also some vareity in the gameplay would have been cool, maybe some survival ala Neo Scavanger.

I don't really know what to say that hasn't already been said. Games too easy and I'm a few hours in. The enemy AI has made it too where I can't lose even though I tried (12 attempts). I would say look at it at least if you ever see it for $.10-$.20.
