A change of developer from the first 5 Northern Tales, which were so much fun to play.
New 'look', - (nowhere near as accomplished)
New Music (horrible)
New voices for the cast (no more humour here) (No Druid shouting 'Body Armour")
We have the irritating fogs to try to navigate, enemies which 'kill' you before you have any defence.
In my opinion I have wasted my money purchasing. And will look out for further offerings from this new company so that I am forewarned, and can avoid them like the plague
DON'T BOTHER.

Enjoying this one and up to level 34
BUT
Each level is very long, and there is no save option to come back and finish.
Repetitive Strain Injury is a threat because hands and wrists become really tired.
Perhaps a patch to amend this would be nice?
I DO recommend this game.

I was really enjoying playing this game, when it froze on level 57 or so. I'm hoping that the technical difficulty will be resolved so that I can download again, and play to the end.
Really nice game.
Really nice game.

Mildly irritating match3 - the music is a bit naff.

I found the game not too hard. The bonuses were overpriced, and you really only need the hammer. I HATED that coins did not drop automatically off the bottom of the board, even though puzzle pieces did. Sometimes they came off, sometimes they didn't and with no explanation in the help menu.
Some of the later boards are reasonably challenging, so worth the price.
I recommend this game!

Nice little match 3 game, although there seem to be a lot of levels to play before the second wizard is released. I found this a bit annoying - no information on how many crystals need releasing to open the next wizard, for example. Not hard to play - I chose relaxed - and would recommend the game.
I recommend this game!

I'm not liking this as much as the first Flux - Ripple- game.
The first one was clear in what was needed to progress. This one is really confusing and needs a walkthrough to help the player to continue forward.
I'm a bit sorry that I purchased.
