THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR SO FAR REMOVING THIS AD. Much more pleasure to play now. Don’t have to stop playing every time I see this ad because it’s not there so my game no longer freezes up each time I had to watch.I have been playing this game for years, watching ads etc. But now you all have a new ad for HUUUGE CASINO SLOTS. Every time this ad and this ad only plays u cannot go back to your game. Sometimes the screen freezes or just sits there. So far the only way I have found to get back to the game is to turn my phone completely off for 10 seconds and then turn my phone back on to reset the game or to go play at least 2 other games before I come back to Charm King. In this instance when I return to Charm King the HUUUGE CASINO SLOTS ad is still there but if I sit there a minute it will disappear and return to the game until the ad pops back up again which sometimes it is again the very next ad. I am sick of this! If you don’t fix this I will stop playing your game. I just bought a new I Phone because I thought it was my old phone causing the problem. you all are going to loose money because of this one single ad.

I love the game but it becomes expensive to play. Unless you have the patience of Job, after becoming stuck on a level for days, you will be enticed to purchase coins or boosts to pass the level when you repeatedly get down to needing only one to two moves to beat the level.I have been playing this game for years and over that time I have spent hundreds of dollars as this scenario occurs over and over again. One to two medium skill levels will be followed by a hard level that is virtually impossible given the number of allotted moves.I understand that game developers need to be paid for their labor and creativity. I am a software developer myself so I support that. But knowing there is no such thing as truly random logic in games, I know that the levels are intentionally set to entice $s to be spent. Just seems like the developers could set a switch once a player has expended a large sum so they can win hard levels after a large number of failed tries, say 50, and let the now impoverished player that loves the game to keep moving through.With purchased games, there is a limit to the expenditures required of the player. Not so with “free” apps. I have forced myself to no longer pay to play this game.

Charm King now has funny little stories you can follow as you complete levels and earn scrolls. However, the actual match 3 game play is the same old nonsense as all the other match 3 games out there. You aren’t given nearly enough moves to complete the tasks you are given because you are expected to spend actual $$ to buy extra moves. Or you can play the same level over and over and over and over and over and over... until you get lucky. I have just about reached my tolerance limit for “pay to win” games masquerading as “free,” and I bypass a lot of games because of it.It’s also annoying to pick the game up at bedtime intending to play for 15 minutes...and immediately get rewarded with 8 hours of free lives. I have no use for 8 hours of free time at bedtime. But it starts immediately, so too bad.

I have played this game as my #1 go-to game for years—since 2013. I’ve taken breaks here and there, but at any rate. There are some things that have changed about the game, and it’s for the worse. But what prompted my review tonight is that the game will sometimes “deal” a game that has no moves, and after attempting to re-shuffle, if there are still no moves, the game uses up one of your lives and re-deals a new game! This is not fair obviously, since it has nothing to do with the moves you made. This is so annoying, especially when you are on a difficult level and you burn up 2 or 3 lives because the game just “dealt” you a bad mix of charms. I also can’t wrap my head around the story that you are supposed to use scrolls to listen to. I have saved thousands of scrolls and I can’t bring myself to use them, I hate the story. I only use this game to play the game. If I wanted to read a book or watch a story unfold, this would not be it! Total waste of time. I think I need a new game… will update review if things ever change.
