I was so happy to see another Viking Brothers, but my thrill was short lived because of the storyline. I loved the first few games in the series, but then they added in Loki and Mana, and that ruined the game, not into this fantasy storyline when the story of Viking feats was so good the way it was. I do have to say I enjoyed the game play changes, faster action and you can click a task before they get thru with the last task, but do I want gameplay or storyline? I'm on the fence with this one and will have to dwell on it before I click the Buy button. Why do they have to change a winning story to a ridiculous story that ruins the game?
I recommend this game!

I read where someone said this was similar to Royal Envoy; it's nothing like Royal Envoy and doesn't hold a candle to that series. This is an OK game, would be really good for a beginner or someone who doesn't want to do a lot of thinking. I don't like how it tells you what to do, such as 2 bridges, cost the same and both open plays, but only one of them is available as it makes the decision for you, same thing with obstacles in your path, and if you don't act quick enough to do what it wants, a big blinking green arrow shows up indicating you need to take action. I'm not going to buy this now, will wait and leave it in my queue for future consideration. Wish there was more thinking on your part then hand holding.
I recommend this game!

I think they pulled this out of mothballs and decided to release it as a CE, oh my. This game is so old hat, boring, characters have no imagination, play is not fun, etc. If you have nothing better to do on a Tuesday, then maybe downloading and deleting will give you something to do, I played 5 levels and that was enough. I know the developers know how to make better TM games, as they are out there, but this one needs to go back into mothballs and left there. Sorry!
I don't recommend this game.

At first I thought this could be a kids game, learning about the elements that make up certain other elements, but then it got weird. I failed level 6 (4) times and only received 1 star when I finally got it. I failed another level, but only a couple of times. Then on 13 or 14, I made such a big chain that the game crashed. Too tough for most kids and not enjoyable for adults. I say pass on both ends as kids could get frustrated and leave.
I don't recommend this game.

They have made no improvements from the first 5, so why get a 6th, the only thing that has changed is the story. All other TM that have series gets better as they go along, but not this one; graphics and play are exactly like the first 5. The ones that are really good and improved are Northern Tales, Viking Brothers, Hercules, etc. I'd pass if I were you, just my opinion
I don't recommend this game.

I love the first 2 in this series, and the game play in this one is pretty much the same, other than you have to kill so many of a certain tile, usually a rose, to advance. My main complaint about this 3rd in the series is the change of the tiles, which would be fine, as change is usually a good thing, but these new tiles make me go cross-eyed, eyes go blurry and I have a hard time concentrating. I play the other 2 in the series over and over, so I don't think I need to add this one.....I'll do without the headaches it gives me. Disappointing as I was excited to try a new version of one of my favorite Match 3 series.
I don't recommend this game.

I don't understand how this is a Collector's Edition, it is the worst game I've played in a long time. The storytelling went on and on and the actual game play was short and boring. All you did was build a house in the right square and upgrade it to get the most rent and if you didn't go fast enough, then the houses had to have repairs. This was absolutely terrible!
I don't recommend this game.

I liked this one, was expecting the same old normal Match 3, but you have to go to different screens to finish the round; you need to find certain items that will open the other screen. I bought it as it's an entertaining format and the characters talk instead of having to read the screen
I recommend this game!

I don't know how I managed to play the full demo, guess I was hoping it would get better. There's really no story here, tasks were not challenging and each round was almost the same. Graphics were very simple, so the game was boring and there wasn't even anything to look at. Where are the good games of this type? This was a real huge step backwards and I thought games of a type were supposed to try to out-do the ones before. This is an absolute no imo.
I don't recommend this game.
