Cursed House 4

Haunted houses are a popular myth all over the world, and even more so nowadays, thanks to the fact that the stories are spread with the help of movies or the Internet. Naturally, there are all sorts of video games that approach the subject as well, raging from almost cute to downright traumatic. Hence, everyone has their choice when it comes to the subject.

Cursed House 4 is a match-three game that challenges you to get rid of hordes of evil spirits in order to clear a mansion and return it to its former glory. Although it looks like a regular match-3 flick at first, the difficulty level is definitely up there, so it might not be exactly suitable for newcomers. On the other hand, the experience is very enjoyable, especially since there are other mini-games woven into the story as well.

The story is pretty basic and not that important in the grand scheme of things, given the fact that it is relayed mostly through images and static cutscenes. As such, it all revolves around an old mansion that is pretty in much in ruins due to an evil spirit invasion. Your job is to dispel these spirits, but in order to do that you have to charge a powerful amulet first.

As mentioned before, the difficulty level is something you have to grow accustomed to quite rapidly. Even the first level is pretty tricky, and it only gets worse from then on. There are all sorts of obstacles and special tiles that need to be bypassed or destroyed, and the only way to do that sometimes is by making the right matches in order to get suitable power-ups. Not only that, but if you are not playing in the relaxed mode you also have to battle against time.

To make the experience feel less repetitive, the developers have added a few extra mini-games to break up the action. The puzzles you stumble upon are not particularly difficult, but they certainly challenge your mind in a different way, which is always a good thing. The graphics are very colorful and enjoyable too, as is the music playing in the background.

In the end, Cursed House 4 is most likely aimed at a slightly more experienced player base, but even beginners can have a blast if they are willing to put some effort into the game. Thus, you should get a few hours of entertainment out of the experience with ease.
