Tales of the Orient: TRS 4+

This reminds me of a geisha themed match 3 game I played years ago but it didn’t get updated so it no longer played on my newer ipad. I miss that game and this one is very similar. It’s relaxing and enjoyable. I downloaded it intending not to spend money, but the ads were a bit annoying right off the bat so I hit the purchase button *just* to see how much it was to take them away...only $2.99? No brainer. Once I paid, that was it. The ads were removed and you don’t need to buy anything else - you’re free and clear to simply enjoy it. Well worth buying for the hours of enjoyment I’m getting, plus great for an upcoming plane ride to pass the time.

This has two modes: relaxed (where you can make as many moves as you want) and a challenging one (where your moves are limited and if you run out, you have to redo the board). This was a bummer so I switched to relaxed mode. Every few boards, you earn enough “gold” to build little things in your Japanese village: a temple, a forge, a geisha school, etc. Simple graphics but cute.

Music is calming; one suggestion: I wish there was a larger variety of it. There seems to be only four songs or so that keep looping. Would be great if it didn’t repeat so much. If you can get this for $2.99, well worth it! :-)

I am very impressed with this game. It is fun- has features I've not seen before and nice graphics. It allows you to turn the board to reach difficult places. I'm only on 15% complete but I had to stop and write a review. I will look for more games from this company!! Keep up the good work.

This game is very similar to a game that I lost when I updated my IPad . It was “ Dreams of a Geisha “ . I can’t play that now but this one is just fine. Thank you .
