Spellspire

Fun little word game, but achievement hunters be warned: It took me 3 days to get the first 20 achievements, 10 days to get #21, and just shy of 8 years (off and on) to get #22 and achieve 100% completion. Your mileage may vary...just a lot of padding at the end!

I cheat playing with my wife, so she can throw words at me and release stress.

This is a decent enough word finding game, but it suffers from a few issues. It was clearly designed as a mobile game first. The layout, the interface, everything about it screams "Mobile game that is barely playable unless you buy premium currency". But this doesn't have the premium currency (thank god). Unfortunately, it also doesn't seem to be balanced around the fact that you paid for it. It's EXTREMELY grindy. I'm only to floor 20 and I've already had to repeat levels for around half of my play time to upgrade my gear. To make this much worse, to switch or replay levels you usually have to watch unskippable animations for a few seconds and/or click through multiple menus of the UI. It just makes the entire process that much more tedious. There are much better games in this style out there. Unless you get this on an extremely deep discount (at least 90% off) or are really desperate for another word building game to play, I'd probably just avoid it. If Steam had a numerical rating system instead of just "Yes" or "No", I'd probably give this one a 3/10 or so.

Cute game. Almost really good for practicing English as well. Except for the really out-there words it has as the big ones.

I recommend Spellspire to all! Though, I think this game is especially for fans of Bookworm Adventures. Fun and challenging at times. Must use strategy, build your inventory of useful items, gain power-ups, upgrade attire through spending coins and jewels wisely to pass levels and get to the next stage. Nice colorful graphics and it's also available for Android. I only wish there was more Spellspire titles released or maybe even just a sequel.

Bought this thinking it was like Letter Quest - and it is - but it's worse on every level. Not worth it, even on sale.
