Spellarium 10

Love all the Spellarium Games! Highly recommend!

I like the variety. It is not just another match 3.

Eric the wizard's latest adventure has him growing magic crystals for the gods he serves. Keep at it, and it gets pretty funny just before the end IMO.

LGT SIA makes 3 different M3-puzzle fusion series and while they all have similar mechanics, Spellarium is the mid-range difficulty one. The puzzles take about 5-7 steps to complete. This Spellarium installment features 110 levels and 50 total minigames of assorted genres (mahjong, HOS, spot the difference, solitaire, and jigsaw puzzles), so a pretty good length game for the price. If you haven't played these games before, there's a really good Help book in the top left corner of the screen to explain everything. Otherwise, these Rube Goldberg machine-like puzzles to obtain all the coins in a level will be familiar to longtime fans, but the fact that the puzzles are different in every game gives them the fun, yet relaxing, factor which I keep coming back to because there are so many widgets to manipulate in the games that it doesn't get old.

About the only thing I'd like to see is an option to not see the minigames while going through the levels. It seems like you get interrupted every 3 levels with a minigame, which is quite a lot for me. Otherwise, it's a charming game that's great "puzzle lite". All the levels and minigames are replayable on demand if you hover the cursor over the arrowhead in the scene building area. If you like your M3s to be a little different, enjoy, because there still aren't any other developers doing this.

I own all the games in this series and enjoy them all. I don't hesitate to buy a new one as soon as I see it available. I have yet to find a bug in one or have any difficulty playing any of the games. I play on a WIN laptop.

LGT SIA Publisher makes the Spellarium Games and these as well:

Cursed House 1 to  12
Laruaville Series 1 to 14

Each game they offer gives you the option of playing in Relaxed or Time Mode.  You don't lose any points or coins for playing in relaxed mode.

No matter which game series you play your object is to collect a certain amount of coins to build something. It could be a house, a mine, or any number of interesting things depending on who shows up. Count Dracula, an Egyptian Prince or Ho Ho Ho that's Santa in Laruaville 4.

There are at least 100 levels with mini-games interspersed in between those levels. Some of the mini-games give you coins, some don't.

The mini-games consist of:

Find the Difference
Mahjong
Solitaire
Hidden Object Scene
Slide Puzzle aka Move the Block

These mini-games are optional - if you skip 3 of one type you will be asked if you want to skip all puzzle games. This can be confusing as it sounds like you will be skipping ALL of the puzzle games. Rest assured that you will be skipping only the one type you skipped 3 of.


The best thing about these games is that each game is new and fresh. There are new mechanics, new pieces, and new tricks to get the required coins you need to clear the level.

They are never the same game no matter how many of them you own.  
If you get stuck you can restart the level, ask for a hint or the game will ask you if you want to skip the level.

These are not your average Match 3 games. There are portals to move keys and fire through. 
There are frozen pieces that can only be thawed by making x number of matches next to the ice. 
There are other frozen pieces that need a certain type of explosion next to them. 
There are huge ladybugs you need to get rid of. 
Locked coins you need a key to open and there is no visible key. Maybe it's in a fogged-in bottom board.
Oh, and magnets that are out of the reach of the cannons. How to clear those? The rockets won't work so how will you clear them?
There are puzzle levels against AI that are close to impossible to clear. Yes, you can skip those levels also. I happen to love those and save them until I've finished the game they are in and go back and play them. I think they are only in the Laruaville games and I wish they were in all of them.

I bought most of these games from that fish company - because they didn't use to sell them here. So if you don't see them in my game list and think I'm not being truthful about owning all of them, that's why they're not in my games here.

I give them a 9 out of 10.  

I'd give them a 10 out of 10 except I've seen some of the Laruaville games being announced as NEW & Just Released that I've owned for years and priced higher than I originally paid for them.

The games are excellent but I don't approve of that business practice. I'm on a very limited budget & I know I'm not the only one here who is.

If I left anything out you would like to know please just ask. I'll do my best to answer you quickly. I will also try to get a few screenshots up in the next week or so.

Spellarium 10 has the same game play and music as all the others in this series BUT there are new icons, some new sound effects (the glass/ice) and a new mini game (fitting the pieces but it's a photo this time, not random blocks. I just love all the games from this developer (Spellarium, Cursed House, Laruaville) and this one doesn't disappoint!
