Fairy Lands: Rinka and the Fairy Gems Reviews

󠀡

I got this because I had a dollar and didn't know what to get. It was pretty fun ngl.

shit graphics.. and when graphics are shit.. then all stuff doesnt care anymore

Cheap game. Ugly graphics, lazy writing, confusing game dynamic (at first), overly difficult, and I still do not know which buttons to use on a standard XBox controller to switch the pieces. I imagine this game was a school project that someone put up here to make a few bucks.

Look, it was a nice try to make a unique match-3 (but actually match-1) RPG fighting with decent graphics and seemingly hand-drawn characters/scenery but there's just one too many things wrong with it. - The game crashes every time I go out of the pause menu, meaning I mustn't pause it. - Using Markiza's special attack sometimes glitches the game; firing the gems just go past the stack and the game just goes on and on and I can't do a thing about it. - <(o)> Mode...is purposely meant to be a severe pain; I was LUCKY to have finished before having to leave for my actual part-time job because there were too many phases to the regular Gem Battle with Psycho-fairy Aumegidna. And that Dream Organizing Gadget sky fight with her was a @#$%ING PAIN; for one thing, shouldn't the attacks from a deactivated Power Gem be deactivated too instead of continuing? - The Steam Achievements meant for the Time Attack mode is the deal breaker, as the final fight's a Dream Organizing Gadget sky fight with Trash-fairy Putrida Cramy, which is even worse than <(o)> Mode because losing means going through all those other fights over and over again. Needless to say, I'm simply not good enough, to the point where this game in general's just not worth it, especially that since this game was published back in August 2017, the developer probably moved on with their lives and has no intention of fixing the game's glitches nor nerf those damn Dream Organization Device sky battles; sorry. Could've used some Steam Trading Cards for profile badges/backgrounds/emoticons, though...

Man. You ever play a game that's super crusty on the surface but you end up having a lot of fun with it in the long run? That's what this game is to me. I got it as part of a bundle on either Fanatical or GreenManGaming. I don't remember which. I thought it was gonna be some shovel ware garbage, but it was surprisingly a fun puzzle game. Just goes to show that the old saying 'don't judge a book by its cover' remains true.

Edit- This game is actually kinda fun. I would reccomend it I guess It was like 27 cents with a coupon so like even if it isnt that good I was able to get it with the pocket change that had been sitting in my steam account for 5 months. Other than that I guess its kinda fun. Its the kinda thing a mom would play before internet was widespread. The music is actually kinda good. I would make fun of the art but I may as well be making fun of my own art, I mean just look at my profile picture like damn separated at birth. You click the thing and the same colour boxes get destroyed. I wouldnt be supprised if King made a carbon copy of it called candy saga faller or something. Have fun with your 7 cents or whatever steam gives you, developer. You made me chuckle a bit.

Nice title, isn't it? Rinka is, or better was I think, a Japanese fashion model quite famous here too, or at least in the Wapanese community of my old university ten years ago. Not that this has something to do with this game, anyways.. If you're not new to Steam, you'll see that if a game like this has a completion rate of 20% or more even for the rarest achievements well, it isn't really that difficult :P Here the range goes from 26% onwards of the overall players.. The game costs more than 2€, but can always be found on sale I think. And it's quite simple actually, graphics are awful but it's a nice puzzle, quite unique, not that difficult of course but not even so easy to be finished in an hour or less. It's mainly a mouse-based puzzle, but you'll need your keyboard too. Gems fall from the sky, and your puzzle is constantly moving towards you so that you have to choose the row with the same color in order to match them, and destroy them too. It's very colorful, but as I said very basic (it's the first game this developer made!! Indie, of course!) so you'll need a little bit of skill but otherwise it's quite slow and you have all your needed time to make your decisions! The replacing thing, like, you are about to throw a yellow gem and know that your next one will be red, reminded me of the old awesome puzzles on the GB, like Dr. Mario, Tetris, the Bubble things.. xD Of course, this one is indie and very simplified, but still enjoyable. Maybe watch a video if you're not that secure, but I'm pretty sure that this game is continuously dropped as a 90% coupon and on sale too, so with like 0,30€ you'll get it like I did some weeks ago, and to me it's worth it, it's a little bit different from the usual puzzles, and at least the developer tried to make together something "new" :)
