Review: Cursed House


Type: Match 3
Platform: PC
Price: USD 6.99 from Big Fish Games

Charge an ancient amulet to clear a house of evil spirits.

Gameplay
Each stage of the game has its own goal eg. getting a key to fall from the top to open a chest, breaking runes or killing bug-like demons by getting them to fall into the fire.All these are achieved by matching three or more of the same type on the board. Match four of the same type and you will fill up the magic bonus while five of the same type will fill up the super bonus. The magic bonus will destroy what is on the board while the super bonus will deal directly with the goals. There will also be obstacles like blocks of ice or stone which you will need to break.


Thoughts
Don't be fooled by the name, this is not a spooky or scary game. Although this game will make you keeping doing the same thing i.e. match three or more of the same type, the many different goals keeps the game interesting. I find that I have to apply slightly different strategies when I am trying to kill the bug-like demons in comparison to destroying the runes. The game quality is good but there's no story or explanation about the house or why the amulet is the solution, so it can feel a bit dull and repetitive.

Verdict ★★★★
