  • gameplay
    56 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is a familiar blend of match-3 and Tetris mechanics, offering a straightforward yet engaging experience that becomes more challenging as players progress. While the core mechanics are solid and the introduction of special pieces adds strategic depth, the lack of clear tutorials and limited game modes detracts from the overall experience. Despite its potential for entertainment, many players feel it falls short of innovation compared to other titles in the genre.

    • “The match transforming into a more valuable tile is an interesting mechanic which requires some additional strategy.”
    • “The core match 3 gameplay is good, and the planned features sound promising, with a storyline, multiple game modes, a pet system, and multiplayer.”
    • “I only played the first game of the first 'explore' area, and the gameplay is surprisingly entertaining; I could see this making it on Facebook or on mobile platforms.”
    • “The gameplay itself is limited to one mode at the moment where you play until the game space fills up.”
    • “Very few of the mechanics of the game are actually clearly explained to you anywhere.”
    • “I imagined never before seen mechanics and gameplay but found myself let down by the hype.”
  • music
    52 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally described as calming and pleasant, contributing to a relaxing atmosphere; however, many players find it repetitive, often noting the limited number of tracks available. While some appreciate the chill vibe and its ability to enhance gameplay, others express a desire for more variety and depth in the soundtrack. Overall, the music is seen as a nice complement to the game's aesthetics, but it risks becoming monotonous over extended play sessions.

    • “The music is very zen and helped me to play longer than I expected.”
    • “No ads, cash shop, nothing but a simple, clean-looking puzzle game with calm music and good sound effects.”
    • “The music has a far east/middle eastern flair to it that is easy on the ears and serves great for background noise.”
    • “The pennies of value in those trading cards are not worth the hours I have had to spend listening to that mysterious forest music as my computer refused to tab away from or minimize the running game.”
    • “The music is a bit repetitive with only 3 similar (short) tracks.”
    • “The game is enjoyable and somewhat addictive, it’s just the music that’s annoyed me; it’s good but it’s only one track. I wish the dev put in some darker music and musical moments, maybe some tempo work when you discover higher materials.”
  • story
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is criticized for its lack of depth and clarity, with players struggling to follow objectives in explore and puzzle modes. Many feel that a more developed background story is necessary, especially compared to other games like Candy Crush, which offer a clearer narrative. While there are promising features planned, including a storyline and multiple game modes, the current execution leaves much to be desired.

    • “The core match 3 gameplay is good, and the planned features sound promising, with a storyline, multiple game modes, a pet system, and multiplayer.”
    • “Even Candy Crush has a story to follow.”
    • “They need a background story, especially in explore mode.”
    • “Adding more specials into the game instead of getting the basic tutorial and story bits together might be the wrong approach.”
  • graphics
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are praised for their originality and striking fantasy-inspired visuals, which enhance the overall experience without detracting from gameplay. While the artwork is generally well-received, some players find the music repetitive and the gameplay can become monotonous after a short period. Overall, the graphics contribute positively to the game's aesthetic appeal.

    • “Like the other faerie solitaire games, the visuals are original and striking, and somehow manage to draw from fantasy fundamentals while still being self-original, recognizable, and interesting.”
    • “Lovely game with very smooth gameplay and nice graphics.”
    • “No surprise hence, artwork and sounds are naturally woven into the overall concept, so it does not detract you from the main process, but caresses the glance and is mellifluous.”
    • “Graphics look fine, music is fine as well but it gets boring listening to only one track the whole time.”
    • “No surprise hence, artwork and sounds are naturally woven into the overall concept, so it does not detract you from the main process, but caressing glance and mellifluous.”
  • grinding
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players note that grinding in the game requires significant time investment, often necessitating a second life to manage the repetitive tasks. While the game features a calming soundtrack during these grindy modes, some find the overall experience too simplistic and lacking depth, making the grinding feel tedious rather than engaging.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “Each of the currently available grindy modes has a single background track - a twangy, mysterious forest sound with faint woodland drums and echoes.”
    • “Although I'm into simplistic puzzle games and I enjoy being able to play the game right after I get it installed, without the tedious and steep learning curve, Faeverse Alchemy is actually too simple for me.”
  • monetization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game is characterized by the absence of ads and a cash shop, presenting a clean and straightforward experience. However, some users express concerns that the game may be an abandoned project or a cash grab, undermining its initial appeal.

    • “No ads, cash shop, nothing but a simple, clean-looking puzzle game with calm music and good sound effects.”
    • “This is an abandoned project, or worse, a cash grab-and-run scheme from the start.”
  • optimization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from poor screen optimization, particularly resulting in a black screen issue when using Alt+Tab on Windows 10. This has been a consistent complaint among users, indicating a significant need for improvements in this area.

  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers basic and puzzle modes that provide enjoyable gameplay, contributing to its replayability. However, players express a desire for further development to enhance these modes and overall replay value.
