Secrets of Magic 2: Witches and Wizards

Every fantasy story has its heroes and villains, and it’s interesting to study their reasons and motivations. Unfortunately, many storytellers do not bother providing too many explanations, so you might end up believing that people are intrinsically evil or good. On the other hand, simple video games do not have to burden the players with a complex background story, since the experience is meant to be relaxing.

Secrets of Magic 2: Witches and Wizards is a simple match-three game that sends you on a fascinating adventure and keeps your mind busy for a few hours. It doesn’t feature too many original ideas in terms of gameplay, but there are enough interesting concepts at play to make the action feel challenging. You can also pick from multiple difficulty modes to fit your skill level.

The background story is far from complex, but at least it provides you with a good reason to keep going and find out what happens in the end. As such, you play the role of a witch by the name of Victoria, who is on a quest to save her parents from captivity. At the same time, she must also take on an evil witch and save the entire world from her evil plans.

Each level has certain goals you have to achieve, although it depends on the chosen difficulty level when it comes to how stressed you are. Hence, the relaxed mode allows you to take as much time as you want to make all the matches or clear the highlighter tiles, but all the other modes put a time limit above your head. Beginners may find it too annoying, but veterans of the genre should be able to get the most out of this.

You can take advantage of many special items that pop up on the board every now and again, including bombs and rockets, each one of which can reward you with additional points if used right. There are power-ups that can be activated at will too, although they obviously come in limited numbers. Lastly, the graphics are not too bad either, depending on what you expect from a match-three game.

On a closing note, Secrets of Magic 2: Witches and Wizards is obviously not a revolutionary entry in the match-three genre, but it ticks all the right boxes to provide you with a good time. It features enough content to remain enjoyable for many hours.
