Each of the four books is dealt with in identical fashion. It is then that the game begins in earnest.
To restore life, you must unlock four magical books, each of which corresponds to one of the corrupted elements. You seek the advice of an elderly mage, who tells you in no uncertain terms that the powers of "the four elements" (earth, air, water, and fire) have somehow been corrupted. The 4 Elements fairy is ready to explain everything.Īs luck would have it, you and you alone are the person who can aid all that ails this dying kingdom. Anyone old enough to remember 1991's award-winning puzzler Lemmings, where the ethereal nature of the music meant so much, will have a pretty good grasp of what to expect. The voice acting is excellent, the interfaces lack true animation but are stunning nonetheless, and the musical score, as is the case throughout the game, washes over you with its blend of haunting world and orchestral strains. The kicker is that all of this is conveyed so beautifully. Trees have withered and died, rivers and streams that teemed with life are frozen in place, and the skies and fields are empty. You hear the tale of a distant, ancient world where a once-wondrous kingdom now lies victim of a mysterious plague. As the game opens, you're plunged into an introduction that seems beyond that of a typical casual title. That the whole thing is wrapped up so prettily and presented so impressively only adds to its appeal. It also features guest appearances by "spot the difference" and "hidden object" puzzles. Nor does it concern itself with Match 3 puzzles only. Fortunately, 4 Elements is no carbon copy-the style of its Match 3 process will captivate those who play it.

Indeed, the Internet is full of Match 3 affairs that seem like carbon copies of one another.
The trouble with Match 3 games is that they've pretty much been done to death.
