Overall, it's an ok word/puzzle game. I agree with other reviews mentioning the dictionary being a bit wonky. Not a deal break or anything, but it will confuse you every so often. Where the game loses steam, for me, is the mechanics that keep getting layered on each other. I enjoy how they can mix up the game play...if implemented well....but more often than not it just becomes a slog of restarting for a playable drop.
My biggest issue with this game is that it doesn't seem to be using a complete dictionary. Some words are missing, other words are accepted but I'm pretty sure they aren't words. Some proper names are in there, some aren't. I got Cleopatra and the game didn't recognize it as valid same for but other proper names are accepted. Please just pay a little money and get a comprehensive English Dictionary for the game.
ooo...a game that is different and fun! I'm really enjoying it! There is lots of variety, interesting story, and great word challenges. I also love the model of actually buying a fully playable game instead of other games that have tons of ads and are pay to play. I would love to see more games like this one!
