About This Game

Play Spirits of Metropolis and journey across several constellations as you match together multiple gems to create massive explosions. Spirits of Metropolis gives you total control on when the chaining begins. Match dozens of gems to link huge chains before setting them off…but be weary of the new obstacles you’ll face on each level!

The game includes “Journey,” where you play over 70 levels with branching paths and new modes with every world you unlock. There’s Puzzle Challenges mode, where you can solve over 50 levels of brain-bending puzzles and create your own levels to share with friends. There’s also an unlocking system called “Medals and Milestones” that reward users by simply playing the game or beating certain challenges on the level of your choosing, a Rank Mode that lets users compete for the highest score, and lots more!

The game also features a colorblind editor, where you can change the color values of each gem or use gem shapes for better clarity, as well as support for multiple profiles. Spirits of Metropolis is sure to please both the casual gamer and the hardcore gamer looking for something new and original!

NOTE: This is a Legacy release of Vertigo Gaming Inc.'s back catalog titles. Because it is an older game running on newer hardware there may be some unexpected errors. Here's how to solve them:

If you have an error of "Failed to load the game data, File seems corrupted.", you will need to disable the Print Spooler on your computer, as older GM8 games can have this issue. First, right click on This PC or My Computer and select Manage. Select Services and Applications on the left side bar and then select Services. Double click the "Print Spooler" key and go to the General tab, select Startup Type, then select Disabled. Finally, select Stop below the Service Status and then click Apply. The game should now boot up correctly.
If the game does not close properly and continues to run on Steam even after exiting the game, you will need to run it in compatibility mode to resolve this issue. Right click the game in your Steam Library, go to Properties, then Local Files, then Browse Local Files. Right click on the main .exe in the folder, and go to Properties. Click on the Compatibility tab, then click the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" box and select Windows XP, then Apply and OK. Restart your computer, and the game will now correctly close after exiting.

They won't let me play the way I want. I can't work on it while paused. I can't slow down the timer. And it is ridiculously short time to do anything. I don't have time to think or figure out how the scoring works. It also doesn't show me the score after my attempt is done. The gems are kind of ugly because the game hasn't been updated to modern standards and the hitboxes for the gems are tiny. I need to bring the mouse over and hit that gem dead center in order for it to register and that takes extra time the game just won't give me. Its like they wanted this to be frustrating because it has interesting gameplay mechanics. They ruin it with the timer and high precision, fiddly hitboxes.

[h1] DISCLAIMER: This is a first impressions review, and NOT a full review [/h1] Spirits of Metropolis is a game developed and published by Vertigo Gaming, the same person behind the Cook, Serve, Delicious series The game offers some really nice graphics and a nice yet simplistic aesthetic which is pleasant all the same and has some amazing attention to detail even though it is a little rough around the edges The game does suffer with some repetitiveness at certain areas of the game but a fun game nonetheless and ends just at the right time Spirits of Metropolis overall, however, is an okay game to play, yet sometimes repetitive and it does get boring if being played for a long time, but is an okay strategy game to play in short bursts! [h1] RECOMMENDED :) [/h1] [b] REVIEW SOURCES: [/b] [list] [*] None
