The game's story aspect is primarily driven by quests associated with different tokens, which users find engaging but frustrating due to frequent resets and unclear objectives. Many players express a desire for more diverse and specific quests, as well as improvements to the quest system to prevent loss of progress and enhance clarity. Overall, while the quest mechanics add a fun twist to gameplay, technical issues and lack of a cohesive narrative detract from the experience.
“Lots of quests for each game piece, puts a bit of a twist on regular solitaire and is pretty fun to play.”
“Daily tasks are not overly difficult to achieve, and the quests make it more enjoyable.”
“Love this game, just need more quests and challenges, or it could become boring.”
“I like the game except for the fact it keeps resetting itself and I lose diamonds, plus money, and even the quests I finish.”
“I can't seem to win a game after the first two tries; my token is always green. I would love to customize the background and the game landing space, add missions, and something to win after each game. It gets boring quickly, so I uninstalled.”
“Ok game, I have to say two of my favorite games put together is a good game. The only problem I have is that some of the missions don't explain how to do it, so I'm stuck on one where it says to use a dog for speeding. How do you do it?”
