Legends of Solitaire: Curse of the Dragons

Tedious and boring solitaire, with 400 levels, most of which are not balanced to be played. Meaning, you get a set of 10 levels (a chapter), and you just skip through them, clicking the deck from the first card to the last, but keeping in mind 'the goals', like, achieving perfects, getting stars and gold, and so on. Meaning, you either try to beat every level on the first try, and fail miserably half the time... Or you skip from level x-1 to x-9 (not touching x-10, though), then walk back and pick the easiest levels to hit the goals. That alone is a game development choice I’d label as bad and shameful. Forced backtracking in a solitaire, what's worse? Well, there is also a UI that is quite bad in many aspects. In the main menu, the "Continue" button is so thin and close to "New Game" that every time you want to play, you risk starting this marathon of boredom all over again. There are also issues with the in-game store, where you have to buy fire-extinguishing potions between levels, and companions that don't scale the way anyone would want (the dervish is way more useful than the dwarf). All in all, it's probably not the worst solitaire game on the planet, but it's well below the level of decency. Like, 5/10 mark.

Fairly typical solitaire game, similar to others by this developer. The Voice acting is good. The story is a typical one for games like this, not bad, but not deep. (If you are expecting a seriously deep and compelling story- play an RPG, not a solitaire game.). The story is delivered via the opening scene when you first launch the game, and then when you complete a chapter you get a new page with more story. It's okay- medieval dragon-slaying fantasy type stuff, probably fine for younger kids with parental supervision. Nothing too gory or scary, though the sudden appearance of the fire-breather while playing a table might be a bit if a scare for really young kids. Typical grind grind grind to complete objectives. Expect to replay some hands several times if you are going for all three-stars on every level. You can replay tables 1-9 as many times as you like to perfect them alll, but the last able (10) cannot be replayed without replaying the entire chapter. [b][u]***Accessibility***[/u][/b] The game can be played with a mouse only, one-handed. Everything delivered via voice acting is also delivered via text- there are no text scaling options, but the text does not disappear or move too fast to read. You must click to progress past, so you have all the time you need. Should be very playable for Deaf and HoH players. Some text is smallish- may be tougher for players with low vision, even in full-screen. No colorblindness settings- the map is marked with red dots (completed chapters) and larger green dots (the chapter you are playing). The size difference between the two should help, but you may need to use machine settings to adjust colors, depending on what form of color-blindness you have. The UI and things like navigation to the store are not great- you have to click "Menu" while you are at the table, then choose "Map" then "Store", to be able to buy buffs and potions. Wild cards are bought while playing a table, using a [+] in the lower right side of the screen. It isn't well explained, even with the tutorial turned on. Can be a bit illogical feeling and a bit confusing. 3 different difficulty modes, with no achievements tied to difficulty. So that's a nice thing for people who want or need an easier mode, and for those who really like to challenge themselves. *************************************************************** Again, it's a fairly typical solitaire/story game, heavy grind with a reasonably good story for this type of game. 100% Achievements should be possible for pretty much anyone, but it won't be quick. Recommended, especially on sale. The game has faults, but runs well even on a toaster, and no bugs encountered by me at the time of this review. Good time killer, suitable for short sessions (each table only lasts for 5-15 minutes depending on whether you replay it), or longer sessions if you like. Just don't expect anything out-of-the-ordinary or fresh. But worth a buy, even so.

Good solitaire game, with an interesting story-line in between chapters. Fans of solitaire will enjoy this one.

Great high / low solitaire game!

Someone on his or her review stated they thought the game was perhaps to hard. Towards the end of the game level 23 the difficulty gets crazy hard. You better hope you have at least 20k on hand because you need to buy cards and potions like mad. I used the cheat engine to give myself the amount of money it took to get past that level. I can do everything except to get the amount of money needed for that chapter. You need to have some crazy combos to get the meter up. Fun and easy to pick up and play game. I do wish the game had a few more card backs. Its 3 card backs and 3 card front. Every round that is 10 chapters long has you trying to accomplish goals like getting a perfect hand and getting a 8 card run and so on. Its very easy on normal. The game does have a story that is a little light. Your traveling with the king and going around the kingdom. The graphics are good and some cards will sometimes light on fire for a bit.

Enjoyable game, until in the late game you are presented with unatainable objectives. Don't buy this game if you are looking for a game to finish and relax. To the developpers : have a look at the Jewel Quest Solitaire games how to implement difficulty levels and make a game that can be relaxing until the end.
