YET ANOTHER "STAGE COMPLETE" DUPLICATE

There has to be at least 10 of these ALMOST EXACT SAME "Stage Complete" games already. So adding ONE MORE WITHOUT ANY MAJOR CHANGES to LAYOUT, etc. is JUST BORING, ESPECIALLY SINCE they make the 'playable' areas more and more blocked so it takes 10-15 minutes of agonizingly slow and repeated moves just to clear one level. ONE OF THESE is MORE THAN ENOUGH. There has been NO GOOD NEW MATCH 3 games from Big Fish for AGES... I really hope some of the best developers of this type (like Suricate) are working on new ones.
I don't recommend this game.

I really was excited after starting this game. I enjoyed the mini 'Blackjack' games you can play any time (but they have no 'split' 'double-down' etc options). The cards are clean and nice. BUT, AFTER winning 25 LEVELS, THERE ARE NO JOKERS AVAILABLE in the Store to buy, AND the "ITEMS" tab seems to let you choose which powerup to start level with, BUT THERE ARE NO POWERUPS SHOWN after 25 levels I've won..
So, though you CAN buy an assortment of enhancements to gain more money faster, or get hints shown, etc., the game play after 25 wins has at least 2 'blocked type' cards, and sometimes go through 10 cards with NO PLAY OPTION and NO ability to buy joker. There are too few cards that match.
So I still enjoy it enough to continue to play, it would be so much better if the deficiencies were fixed. Even better would be if they added a few more 'Casino type' Mini-games (like poker, slots) since there NONE available I can find that either don't have viruses of some kind or are too busy and interactively loud.
I recommend this game!

I like the 'no timer' and 'no max moves'. BUT this Developer just repeats the same game play over...and over.. and over. And, in THIS case, even the Tiles are boring and simplified.
I don't recommend this game.

This is just like the 'Free to Play' games, but THIS does NOT COST YOU REAL MONEY like those do. The challenges are excellent, fun to spin the wheel, use the one-arm bandit, collect gold for lots different accomplishments. I beat all the obstacles, build all the buildings and men upgrade. BUT, there is one extremely annoying glitch. Though I DID complete ALL the 100 levels (including last level 120 4 TIMES), the Award for this of extra $250 gold DOES show available, but will not activate so have to hard reboot. Doesn't seem to affect future play, just can never get last award. Still, really enjoying Match 3 when there are almost no new ones coming out.
I recommend this game!

the board did NOT go into "SLOW MOTION" SO BAD that IT TAKES OVER 1 MINUTE to show the results of ONE MOVE! BUT, this only happens on 10% of the levels, so I kept hoping it would go back to normal. Note that this extreme slow motion is so bad on 3 of the OTHER Imperial Islands...but, for some reason, II 5 did NOT have ANY slow motion problems and I really enjoyed that. Too bad it took them 4 previous games to fix the problem.
I don't recommend this game.

Too many glitches to keep enjoying. I've finished Level 55.
Still at first scene without any more scene or animation upgrades available, no castle, just landscape with some animations. Shows zero Castle2, zero Carresse? Now having to activate 3-4 times with access violation errors. But, I am STILL able to continue playing the game - just no ability to upgrade the scenes.

I really hope Suricate can fix these problems as I am a big fan of all their previous games (bought them all). This one, however, apparently just rushed out too soon.

Too frequent 'access violations' - but so far always able to retry or continue. As in previous games, it takes almost half the game to get maximum chest access. In this game, no more enhancements to cute scene for many levels, and no new scene appears. Even given all that, their series are among the best.
I recommend this game!

I cannot believe all the good reviews for this. I was able to get to level 65 with a minimum enjoyment. But, starting level 66 and on, the ENTIRE GAME PLAY moved in SUPER SLOW MOTION, taking so long to complete every play that I gave up! Too bad as I DID really enjoy Imperial Island 5 all the way through - MUCH BETTER GAME PLAY.

We ended up just stopping playing this altogether after the 5th scene. We really enjoy this series Hidden Object Scenes part. BUT, the game FREQUENTLY pops up block slide, jigsaw, word puzzle, etc. MINI-GAMES which we do NOT want to play but HAVE NO CHOICE EXCEPT to SIT AND WAIT for 2-3 MINUTES if we want to be able to go to the next scene.
The Developers should ALLOW an INSTANT 'SKIP' for those like us, which still gives those who like these type of mini games a chance to play them.
I don't recommend this game.

Really like their Solitaire Mini-Games. Those present a much nicer challenge than most Solitaire games as they allow you one card space to be able to move one card temporarily from board to get longer match string.
I recommend this game!
