The gameplay primarily revolves around classic match-3 puzzles, featuring various obstacles and a unique mechanic that allows players to change the board layout. While the game offers around 14 to 16.5 hours of content, including both timed and non-timed modes, many players find the experience becomes repetitive after a few hours. Overall, it provides solid value for its price, especially for fans of the genre.
“Plus, 16.5 hours of really good gameplay (with 100% achievements) for a list price of about $6 is excellent.”
“There's a timed gameplay as well as a non-timed one.”
“The majority of the gameplay consists of classic match-3 puzzles, with the usual obstacles of ice, chains, boxes, etc. There are also trap squares that manipulate the obstacles in some way, either by adding them or removing them from the board.”
“The gameplay is quite repetitive after a few hours.”
“Same team, same gameplay, same experience as Mystika 3.”

The story aspect of the game is generally considered weak and minimal, serving primarily as a backdrop to the extensive gameplay across 200 levels. While the graphics and audio are praised, the plot is described as faint and simplistic, typical for the match-3 genre, with some players noting it feels like an afterthought. Overall, the narrative is seen as adequate but not a strong focal point of the experience.
“Good graphics, fairly interesting story line and easy to play.”
“A basic match 3 game but it has very enjoyable graphics and audio, combined with an okay story and a mix of additional games (hidden object, battles etc) that all tend to lean toward the simpler side.”
“The only tiny minus is the story...it is kinda weak (and yes...the main character does remind me of Lara Croft), but then again...many match 3 games don't have any stories.”
“A linear gauntlet of 200 levels, with only the faintest intrusion of plot along the way.”
