8 of 25I can't believe there isn't an update or a heroes 2, I look ever couple of months hoping. This is the best most engrossing match 3.
This as an amazing game.
Really fun to play .
If you enjoy match-three style games, Heroes of Kalevala is the pinnacle of the genre! I re-purchased this for the iPhone after owning it for the iPad for over a year. The puzzles are well designed and addictive, the Sims-style village building is a nice little distraction between puzzles and the art style is really well executed. Even if you know nothing of the Finnish mythology, Kalevala offers a satisfying contextual wrapper atop a game that could stand on its own without one. I highly recommend this game!
A very good spin on the match 3/bejeweled theme. Graphics are nice, with a really good variety of levels to play. Village/tribe building is a fun side "quest" to mix things up. The music is good, though there is a minor negative - I find the "hurry, time is running out" music to be overly annoying, taking away slightly from the overall experience. Not enough to change my rating, but enough to mention that it stands out as very out of place in the overall feel of the game.
Can get a little hairy but the peace of the game continues I pervade!
Easily one of the best buys I've ever made on the app store lots of levels + city building + unlockables distinguish this from the average match 3 puzzler.
Yikes! I just removed my old version of this favorite game & downloaded the new version. I can't read any of the text; seeing to buy village objects is impossible. Oh, I hope they fix this. It would be a shame to see a great game meet its demise this way.
