  • story
    61 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

While some reviewers note that the narrative may not be groundbreaking, it effectively complements the gameplay and keeps players invested. Overall, the writing and character development are appreciated, though some find it somewhat generic or simplistic.

    • “The story is also pretty interesting; it definitely goes some places over the course of the game that I didn't really expect it to.”
    • “Beyond the nice story and gorgeous art, the world itself also has a lot of thought put into it, and you'll find yourself wanting to learn more about it and its denizens.”
    • “Legend of Fae includes a fantastic story, fun characters, and colorful art.”
    • “This puzzler is a limited form of Bejeweled with a weak click-text plot to 'motivate' you to play their version of Bejeweled.”
    • “A solid, little puzzler, though the story/character aspects are extremely generic and disposable.”
    • “The story is nothing to write home about, but it moves the game along.”
  • gameplay
    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is a blend of match-3 mechanics and RPG elements, offering a strategic and engaging experience that evolves with new challenges and difficulty spikes.

Overall, the combination of solid mechanics, appealing visuals, and a decent difficulty curve makes it a highly recommended choice for puzzle game enthusiasts.

    • “The combination of RPG mechanics and puzzle game is an oddly rare thing, even though RPGs have classically designed their combat systems in the vein of puzzles.”
    • “Matching up the colors has the corresponding element use an attack, heal, etc. sounds simple enough and it is, but the game has a good difficulty curve and a few interesting gameplay mechanics.”
    • “When you think you've got a good handle on the gameplay and it starts to get easy, they throw in a new gameplay element or enemy type that really changes the dynamic and steps up the difficulty nicely.”
    • “Gameplay: bejeweled.”
    • “This goes against the game's spellpower mechanic, which rewards you with extra damage for only swapping gems that cause chains.”
    • “Neat story and solid gameplay, although the later stuff gets ridiculously hard if you specialize wrongly.”
  • graphics
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are generally praised for their charm and appeal, with many reviewers highlighting the cute art style and well-executed pixel art.

    • “Charming visuals, surprisingly fast-paced battle, all under the guise of a match-three puzzle game.”

  • music
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with many players finding it serviceable but ultimately forgettable, often suffering from poor looping and a lack of variation.

    • “Good art, good music, good story, and novel gameplay.”
    • “For all that it just looks like another Bejeweled clone, the art and music are gorgeous and the plot both sweet and depressing.”
    • “The only real sour note to this game is the music, which sounds fine really but often loops very poorly.”
    • “The music is just so-so; the sound effects are alright at first, but after a handful of battles, this rapidly becomes old and annoying due to the lack of variation.”
    • “The soundtrack, while fitting for this game and serviceable for a budget title like this, is largely forgettable right down to the battle music, which sounds like they were going for something exciting, but doesn't get there.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding in the game to be slow and tedious, often requiring constant focus on switching between control areas, which detracts from the overall experience. While the graphics and sound design are criticized for being mediocre and repetitive, some users appreciate the engaging story and RPG elements that motivate them to continue despite the grind.

    • “Slow and tedious, requiring you to constantly switch between two control areas in real time, which takes exclusive focus of the screen.”
    • “Legend of Fae not only has mediocre graphics and reuses the same sounds as Valdis Story, but is also tedious and tiresome.”
    • “While the puzzle aspects of the game can occasionally become tedious, the story and RPG elements keep you coming back after you die.”
