Emerland Solitaire: Endless Journey

Fantasy worlds are great ways to escape reality and have fun with strange creatures, but they need to be convincing enough to make you believe at least a little bit. However, that’s not the case for casual games, because their purpose is to help you relax and have some fun while you’re at it, preferably while tackling an adventure or a puzzle of some sort.

Emerland Solitaire: Endless Journey is a simple puzzle game in which you have to solve puzzles and enjoy a round of Solitaire at the same time. Granted, the game is somewhat punishing in most regards, but you can still have a lot of fun with it if you don’t care about high scores or anything like that. Moreover, there are hundreds of stages included, so there’s plenty of content available.

To begin with, the gameplay is as straightforward as possible, since the only thing you have to do is click on cards. These cards have to be either one before or one after the one in the middle, which is how the whole thing evolves. Thus, the end goal is to clear every card from the table and score as many points as possible in the process by aiming for huge combos.

The key to combos is trying to place as many consecutive cards as possible without drawing another from the deck. Obviously, sometimes this is impossible, but you can also make use of special wild cards and bonuses that come along every now and again. On top of that, there are also a couple of helpers that can grant you special abilities, at least as long as you have enough spell power left.

As for the graphics, nothing’s out of the ordinary in this regard, although there are quite a few dreamy landscapes you can admire along the way. The cards are pretty simple as well, and you can also admire a couple of special characters every now and again. Even the soundtrack is pretty absent, although there are a few songs that play in the background at all times.

In the end, Emerland Solitaire: Endless Journey is quite the engaging puzzle game, especially if you enjoy Solitaire and you do not want to bother with a regular game. There are more than enough levels available.
