Solitaire Aces 4+

Be advised.

Had some fun with this game for maybe a week but then I noticed something. Every time I opened the app, my network security would notify me of a blocked malware attack. None of my other apps behaved in this manner. Maybe it’s nothing. Maybe it is.
Goodbye solitaire.

Rip-off of Castle Solitaire

MobilityWare has had this exact solitaire variation for 5 years. It’s called Castle Solitaire. The gameplay is identical but more polished than this game. However, each game has some good and bad points:

Unfortunately MobileWare’s game requires a subscription to remove ads. But this game has NO option to remove ads. And this game makes you watch additional ads to get reshuffle “Magic”.

This game has a much smaller file size and offers some great customization features, but it quickly makes my iPhone get quite hot. No app/game should do that. Plus, the animations are clunky and slow. The cards don’t move WITH your finger, they move AFTER you remove your finger! Clearly, the coding of this game needs some work.

Castle Solitaire has a bigger file size but the animations are smooth and clean. Castle also has more depth, with different fun events and challenges always available.

Castle Solitaire by MobilityWare is definitely the better game right now, but if this game were to offer a non-subscription option to remove ads, fixed some bugs and cleaned up the coding so it doesn’t run jerky and make your phone get hot, I’d give this game another try in the future.

This game took me a bit longer to have a better grasp than other card games. That is not to say that it is confusing or not enjoyable while providing the necessity to think and keep the mind active.
But it is also not so easy to cause boredom.
I’m giving it a 4+ because I think there could be an additional way in which to get out of “sticky spots”. But the “magic” option will release one from said “sticky spot” and is available after an ad, or spending coins earned.
Even so, I found that the ads are not horribly long or required so often as to cause it to be one of those games which one would rather delete.
They provide this game free, and with no abuse of ads…..they need some sort of payback for their development and work.
I will play on and see if I find it one game that will be a good play for tge king run; if so then I will purchase……for me, it is a fun twist on solitaire while not putting the player to sleep.
