4 Elements

Let’s be honest, match 3 games are among the most played genres, and they are especially popular around the office and on mobile devices. They are here to stay, and they provide a lot of variety. The developers of 4 Elements wanted to make some changes to the way match 3 games are presented, so they added a new important feature.

Players will notice that 4 Elements also has some elements from the hidden object genre. Users must look for items and rebuild some objects. It’s nothing major, but for a moment, you can forget that it’s actually a match 3 title.

4 Elements has a story that tells of a place far away that was really beautiful and peaceful. One day the entire landscape changed and the elements have been disrupted. A powerful mage sent you to take care of the problem and restore order.

The gameplay is pretty regular, but with a twist. The players don’t move the tiles to match three or more pieces together, they draw a line over identical pieces, but it needs to be at least three. Depending on the level, you might need to do various tasks, but just blindly destroy pieces.

Like many other games in the collection, 4 Elements has a problem with large resolutions, so it actually look terrible on full HD screens. You can try to put the in a window, which improves the overall experience, but when you have to find objects it becomes a hassle. Some objects are way too small and you might have to hit that hint button more than once. 

The overall design for 4 Elements is much better than the rest of the games in its category, and that might be one of the reasons why it also become famous. In fact, many times 4 Elements is used for comparisons, and that says a lot.

4 Elements is not the best one out there, but it gets a lot of things right. The trial period for the game is just 60 minutes.
