Spooky Solitaire: Halloween

Halloween is a great time to let your crazy side take over for a bit, especially since it’s pretty difficult to be labeled crazy when everyone is in some kind of creepy costume. Just like with every other holiday out there, it’s all about the atmosphere, and you can achieve that in a variety of ways. However, you can also get in the mood by watching or playing something with a Halloween theme.

Spooky Solitaire: Halloween is a puzzle game with solitaire mechanics, in which you have to solve every level by clearing all the cards on the table. In order to do so, you have to arrange them on top of the pile one by one, following the classic solitaire rules. On the other hand, it’s actually much more simple than the actual card game, and it’s up to chance most of the time.

As for the story, it follows the classic plot that involves a happy royal family and a jealous witch. Hence, this witch turns the prince into a critter and messes with the entire personnel of the castle, which prompts a rescue mission lead by the queen itself. Thus, your purpose is to stop the witch and find a way to get your beloved prince back before it’s too late.

Although the mechanics are fairly simple, there are certain things that make the experience feel a bit more exciting, such as the bonus cards you can find. It’s also possible to score combos by holding a streak of correct matches, which in turn provides you with more points. These points are converted in stars at the end of each round, and you can obtain a maximum of three stars per level.

As for the graphics, you shouldn’t expect anything exciting from a solitaire game, but it’s certainly not ugly in any way. Moreover, there are multiple card decorations to choose from, which is actually a great way to avoid monotony if you play for too long. The music is not bad either, but it can get annoying if it plays in the background over extended periods of time.

In the end, Spooky Solitaire: Halloween is the perfect cure to a boring afternoon, especially if you are nearing Halloween and you want something to get you in the mood for a costume change. However, the actual gameplay is a bit boring and repetitive.
