Mystika 4 : Dark Omens

I forgot what level I got to, I'm guessing about 1/2 to 1/3 through, but the game on start errored out saying there was like 7 or 8 different .png files missing. Huh? You were working fine the last time I played? Hmm, ok, fine I'll verify the files. Wait, what? All is well? Um, well then I guess I'll uninstall & reinstall hoping my progress was cloud saved. ARE YOU FRIGGEN KIDDING ME? THE REINSTALL DIDN'T WORK? Well, so much for this game. Shame too as I was really liking it. Everything had been improved over Mystika 3. Go for Mystika 3 as it is still a fun match 3 and works just fine. Skip 4.

Once again, same team, same gameplay, same everything as Mystika 3 and Heart Of Moon. So, a small review only. This is a match 3 game with a few levels of HOG or "find the differences". there's 130 levels which are massively match 3 oriented. The match 3 type is the "moving a tile to align 3 or more" type. The difficulty increases as you progress through the map. This is the most difficult in the serie, I've found - unless the player uses the bonuses that charge up while playing. Using those (change background structure, put 2 bombs on the board, make matches done explode for a short period, destroy two plates on the board). With those bonuses, it becomes very easy. When aligning 4 or 5, a bonus us triggered. That as soon as level 1 - contrary the the previous games when those option were only made available in time while playing levels. There are some ingame achievements (as well as steam's). I've done only one playthrough, so far. To get all achievements, the player needs at least two (two endings). Replaying a level is possible at any time. It took me something like 8+ hours to play through the whole thing, getting 3 stars for each level (that for the timed gameplay alone) I played this on the Win7 64bit box without problem
