  • story
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is generally viewed as simplistic and sometimes repetitive, with players noting that it can feel unnecessary but provides rewards that enhance gameplay. While some find the narrative charming and fitting within the game's aesthetic, others criticize its lack of originality, especially after reaching higher levels where missions become redundant. Overall, the story serves as a light backdrop to the gameplay, appealing to those who enjoy a casual experience.

    • “Love the game, it's chill and even the storyline is nice.”
    • “I've played numerous games of this particular genre and 'Pearls of Atlantis: The Cove' is on par with these... the gameplay is excellent, and, as a crown on King Triton's statue, the little story added to it is charming.”
    • “I appreciate the storyline being cute and not too over the top, and the microtransactions are not at all intrusive - more so for cosmetics.”
    • “If this game had not begun to reuse boards and missions so blatantly by round ~300, when it promises me over 1000, and yet I'm already beginning to recognize identical missions but with tighter limits which just waste my playtime, I would be more positive on this.”
    • “Story is dumb and would be completely skippable except that it gives you rewards that allow you to continue playing.”
    • “The story was kinda stupid but most of them are so I was overlooking it.”
  • gameplay
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally well-received, with players appreciating its fun and challenging nature, particularly as it progresses beyond initial levels. However, some users express frustration with monetization tactics and waiting mechanics that detract from the experience. Overall, the level design and introduction of new mechanics are praised for enhancing the gameplay experience.

    • “I've played numerous games of this particular genre (including the original Bejeweled and Bubble Bobble games) and Pearls of Atlantis: The Cove is on par with these. It's well-paced, challenging enough once you're past the learning levels, the gameplay is excellent, and, as a crown on King Triton's statue, the little story added to it is charming. Definitely recommending this game for a calming moment now and then!”
    • “The puzzles are a little easy at first, but they ramp up at a good pace and introduce interesting mechanics within an hour.”
    • “The level design is well thought out and allows you to experiment with the mechanics, chaining combos with gravity and causing explosive chain reactions.”
    • “There are a lot of monetization attempts around and outside of gameplay, which is frustrating.”
    • “I really dislike the waiting mechanic; it makes the gameplay feel tedious.”
    • “The level design is well thought out and allows for experimentation with mechanics, but the gameplay is hindered by other issues.”
  • monetization
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

While some appreciate the cosmetic-focused nature of the microtransactions, others feel the overall monetization strategy is abusive and detracts from the gameplay experience.

    • “It's a fun puzzle spam game; it has microtransactions and a 'stamina' system akin to modern mobile games.”
    • “I appreciate the storyline being cute and not too over the top, and the microtransactions are not at all intrusive - more so for cosmetics.”
    • “If it weren't for the dark-pattern, manipulative monetization, it would be decent.”
    • “There are a lot of monetization attempts around and outside of gameplay.”
    • “The Match-3 game is fine, but it's set up for the worst kind of abusive monetization.”
