The Village Mage Spellbinder Game Review

Is it a match 3 game or is it a time management game? Well The Village Mage Spellbinder is a bit of both. You play the match 3 part as quickly as you can to get potions which will cure the villagers of various illnesses. The time management comes in as you treat the villagers like you would if you were a waitress, you must serve them before they get too impatient and leave.

The Village Mage Spellbinder is not unique in combing 2 game play genres within the one game. Restaurant Rush is a similar game that readily comes to mind, so nothing new in this regard. Graphics are just okay and the actual game play a bit rough around the edges. There are 2 game modes, challenge and relaxed mode. Someone should have told the developers just what relaxed means as we tried the game out on relaxed mode and found it very, very hectic. One can only imagine how hectic challenge mode would be.

But then games shouldn't be soda pop easy, so players who are up to a challenge should enjoy this one. It does give you the chance to hire animals as your assistants, which helps you greatly. You make matches of 3 or more items to collect the potions. You must clear the match 3 puzzle as quick as you can and then deliver the potion to your customers before they get angry for waiting too long and leave. If you aren't fast enough, your potion spoils.

One of the things where The Village Mage Spellbinder really got to us is the fact that the game audio is very important. It is too easy to miss a knock on the door or the "ping" when a potion has finished brewing. There is 60 core levels and 20 bonus levels and you strive to reach gold scores to complete your apprenticeship and become the Village Mage, which is like being promoted to chief chemist or the head sorcerer.

The Village Mage Spellbinder is not too bad of a game if you like fast paced games, but many may find the hectic pace just a wee bit overwhelming.
