Royal Match 4+

Just like almost every other game available here the fix is in with this one as well. First of all the advertisements for it whilst playing other games and having to watch endless ads shows levels “saving the king” which only very rarely appear during actual game play. Secondly it’s all about the money. I’m on level 374 and over and over and over and over again I cannot beat the level. It’s not because I don’t know HOW to beat it, it’s just that the game never gives you what you need. For instance if the goal is to collect a certain number of a pink gem it makes sure you get fewer than that number before you run out of moves. Then you have the option to spend coins that are exceeding difficult to earn unless you are gifted with a rare bonus level. NINE HUNDRED COINS to get an additional THREE moves! And you still don’t get what you need, then to get three more moves it’s 1900 coins. But once you give in and spend the coins you’re done, it will only rarely let you win on the first try because now its in their algorithm that you are stupid enough to buy something from them. These developers should be ashamed of themselves because it really is just about robbing people. They figured that out during the pandemic. Do some research to see how much money they raked in while people were quarantined.

I have been debating about whether to review the game, but many of the things I would say have already been covered. Then I saw a new ad for the game that’s really over the top. The celebrity claims to “fact-check” the game’s ads, but he completely avoids the question of whether the ads are representative of game play. They absolutely are not. What’s shown are the Kings Nightmares, which you encounter about every 10 levels or so. They also totally misrepresent the difficulty of those levels, making it seem like the animated finger is just stupid. However, they often have two screens worth of crap to be cleared or don’t give you enough turns to clear it all, with hard-to-break things covering other things that need to be cleared. Several ads show “select your next level”, which if that ever happens, I did not get to at level 175+.

I gave it three stars because it could be a good game - it’s very cute and it’s got lots of different types of puzzles, competitions and “home renovation”. However, remember that while they don’t charge for it, and they don’t have ads, they are being supported by it somehow! I believe is by convincing you that you can win, and then cranking things up to the level where you cannot win without purchasing aids.

I know you guys are getting bloated with ads on this game recently, and while some of the things they show and say in the ads are true, it’s not 100% accurate. believe it or not there aren’t any ads, usually when mobile ads say this it’s lying. The game is in fact a matching game as well, on the false side though, this game has NOTHING to do with saving the king from fire or drowning and what not, almost EVERY mobile ad has this concept of being stressed out trying to save the king and what not, and it’s a really interesting concept, but no mobile games actually stand true to it. And I really don’t know why, are liquids just too hard to program? If half the people download your game because of this stressful concept, why not just make it the actual game? Also I don’t how this game makes revenue if it doesn’t have ads, maybe I didn’t poke around the game long enough to notice any in app purchases but whatever. Another thing that they said in the ads that wasn’t true was how hard it was, no it is not hard at all, the special match things are way too broken and easy to get. Overall I feel like mobile games now a days have 0 creativity and no unique ideas, and they are all the same, royal match isn’t a “unique” “difficult” or “stressful” experience, it’s your average matching game, would not recommend!
