Witch's Tales

Being a witch is no longer the stigma it used to be back in the day, but then again there are not many witches out there nowadays anyway. However, mastering the power of plants and ancient curses used to be a pretty common endeavor, especially when you consider the fact that people were actually ready to kill the women exposed as witches.

Witch's Tales is a simple puzzle game that presents you with the story of a young witch by the name of Alice, who gets into a bit of trouble after becoming a student. The game mixes many interesting elements in order to provide you with a few hours of fun, including match-three rounds, hidden object sequences and even jigsaw puzzles. Thus, there’s plenty of entertainment to be had.

The story starts when Alice decides to become a student of Circe, one of the most powerful witches out there. As it turns out, Circle is up to no good, given the fact that she plans on turning all of the princesses in the kingdom into frogs. Thus, Alice decides to go against her mentor and save the princesses, while also getting rid of the curse and defeating Circe once and for all.

In case you are new to puzzles and you do not want to feel overwhelmed right away, the game provides you with three different difficulty modes to choose from. Basically, they only control the time limit factor, starting from no time limit at all, all the way to the other end of the spectrum. You are free to toy with the difficulty level as you wish, because it can be changed on the fly.

The puzzles are not very difficult in theory, but some might require a bit of tinkering until you figure out where everything goes. Thus, finding all the right pieces for a jigsaw puzzle can take a long time, not to mention the confusing match-three sequences. The graphics are about as detailed as they can get under the circumstances, even if the screen can be a bit too crowded sometimes.

Although it can be classified as yet another Halloween cash grab, Witch's Tales is a pretty fun puzzle game, and it offers enough content to be worth the purchase. The multiple difficulty levels should accommodate most players.
