Who it's for

This game is for players who enjoy solitaire-style games with an added layer of character progression, story, and upgrades R23R29. It's suitable for those looking for a relaxing, entertaining time-waster with good graphics R11R14R21. However, it might not be for players who get easily frustrated by recent changes that make in-game progression and earning resources more difficult R6R9.

Evidence note: The recent reviews show a strong contrast: a large majority are positive, praising various aspects of the game, but a small, vocal minority expresses significant frustration with recent updates, specifically regarding the 'gold mine' mechanic. The lifetime rating is very high (4.79), suggesting the recent negative sentiment is a deviation from the overall positive trajectory, likely due to specific recent changes.

  8. [R15] 5/5 · AU Great game: There’s lots of things to do and parts change and you upgrade things and honestly it’s a good little time waster. I really am enjoying playing this and will be sending this to my mum and dad who also enjoy solitaire games
  9. [R19] 5/5 · AU Great game: Great game just started playing like it so far so many things to do
  10. [R23] 5/5 · AU Awesome: The game play is amazing. If you love solitaire but also upgrading equipment this is a game for you. It doesn’t lag in grinding for items and it keeps the game flowing. You can revisit levels for ingredients needed for upgrades and the rewards in chests are very well suited to the type of game this is. Over all a great game and I am going to magic the hell out of this until I know the sto
  11. [R29] 5/5 · AU Fun solitaire: Such a fun solitaire game . Very unique great graphics
  12. [R20] 5/5 · AU Best game Ever: You may think I know the creators but don’t, I have played hundreds of games over the decades but this is the first time I have written a review, that’s because it’s the best I have seen, it takes you through the step without cheap, graphics are great and its so different to the rest - great work all thx
  13. [R21] 5/5 · AU Fun game: Entertaining game with great graphics.
  14. [R31] 4/5 · AU Great graphics: Graphics are great. Learn how to play as you go. Quite enjoyable
  15. [R6] 1/5 · AU Most annoying game.: Would not recommend this game to absolutely no one the original version was awesome, but now you can’t get through gold mine at all, and can’t advance to any other stages.
  16. [R9] 3/5 · AU New update horrible: I’ve played this game for ages now and thoroughly enjoyed it, but the changes to the mine in the latest update feels incredibly unfair to the player and a total waste of time. Which makes making coins in game that much harder. I think it’s time to delete.
  17. [R7] 1/5 · AU Changes: This game was awesome but now it’s one of the worst game ever the changes are bad rather the old version this version is ridiculous. So I don’t think I will be playing it again unless they fix it.
  18. [R32] 4/5 · AU The game results: Good games but it needs enough money to upgrade I hope this game when it gets to 3 stars we can just to auto play thanks
  19. [R25] 5/5 · AU Purple shards: I like the game I would like it even better if you made it so some of the monsters weren’t as strong as they are in magic points And I would like it if you would make it so you could buy pink shards with the gold coins you got from battles
  20. [R14] 4/5 · AU Sorcery School: Fantastic time waster! Love it!
  21. [R27] 5/5 · AU Very fun: Love this game so much
