The Enthralling Realms: An Alchemist's Tale

- repetitive levels - poor animations - after couple of levels you seen everything - crashes after Alt+Tab - at start game asks if you want to run in fullscreen or windowed mode, sometimes you choose full but it still starts in window - boring, no fun - basically the same game as The Chronicles of Jonah and the Whale

Honestly, I started playing this game out of the current bundle I bought recently as I thought the girl was cute and the graphics were good. Well, the game is about average and although the game plays nicely, it is a bit slow and the lack of ability to run in full screen in Windows 10 or to even move the playing window to the side in the partial view is sort of a deal breaker for me. I would avoid it at this time but a MILD fix with how it plays in Windows 10 would cause me to reexamine this game and to possibly change my review. But at this time, pass.

This is a very routine match-3 bejewelled ripoff with a light visual novel story tacked on and a few light progression elements. Despite being released in 2019, the game has no widescreen support and displays in stretched 4:3. Resolution is fixed, so this game falls below minimum quality standard for PC. You can play match-3 games free on mobile or in a web browser, yet they want $7.50 for this! You can get Bioshock Infinite for around the same price, or you could play better match-3 games free on browser or mobile, so why pay for this junk?

Installed on Windows 10 but needs to play in windowed mode and changed to full screen within game. Can play timed or relaxed. Play five stages with over 10 - 15 levels each. Create your potions and watch out for spiders. Gets harder as it progresses. An enjoyable game.

It wasn't an incredibly good game, but the art was decent, music was a joy even if repetitive, and the story was all right. It felt drawn out in the fact that I had to earn so many jelly cube things and only earned 1 per clearance; this low drop amount is a big factor in the length of the game. I do not fully mind what I had to grind since I do enjoy match-3's and I bopped around a lot with the music. Overall, I would say get it if you like a little grinding and match-3s.

It's exactly how you think it is.
