Supermagical-Review

   Match-three-color games are very common on the App Store today. But what if, instead of bubbles or jewels, the things to match are demonic little creatures called Minix, wouldn't that boost the quality of the game?Well, that's exactly what Gala Pocket Games has done with Supermagical.

   Basically, in Supermagical, you follow the path of a young witch called Nina, the only one of her eight sisters not exiled to the Underworld for being evil. The seven sisters are named after the Seven Deadly Sins:
(you talk to them in this order)
1) Laziness (Sloth)
2) Gluttony
3) Greed
4) Lust
5) Wrath (Anger)
6) Envy
7) Pride

The main objective is to destroy all the Minix, which have invaded each level, and reach the sisters to exile them back to the Underworld after their escape.One thing Gala Pocket could have improved is a sort of actual battle against the sisters; instead, you just talk to them and you're supposed to choose the option that will send them back to the underworld in the form of a multiple-choice.

Supermagical is FREE on the App Store, and I would recommend you giving out a try. However, the colours of the game and the drawings might seem a little too childish for some, but some might actually enjoy it.

The landscape changes rapidly, and so do the difficulty of the levels. You start at the 'Sunny Eastern Land', where the levels are very easy, and then the 'Snowy Land' is a little difficult. But the hardest by far is the last zone, the Sky Islands. However, you can also unlock warlocks, who have different powers to destroy Minix, they are-

1) Elifo- A male fairy-like thing which removes one Minix randomly
2) Giordano- A friendly ghost who can remove all Minix of one colour
3) Nostradamus- A robot who can summon his pet, Floppy, which pushes the Minix away from the edge.
4) Paracelso- A polar bear who removes the otherwise indestructible white Minix
5) Papos- A giant who can destroy one line of Minix randomly
6) Ogmios- An ancient wizard who destroys all on-screen Minix (WRITER'S NOTE: This guy has saved me more than a billion times on hard levels!)

And finally, the ratings-

FUN: 4/5
While Supermagical might be a nice game to play, it might seem too childish for some.

GRAPHICS: 3.5/5
The graphics are nice and bright, very colourful. However, a more 3D-integrated experience would've been better, given the games that we get today.

PLOT/STORYLINE: 3/5
I really liked the idea of a bubble-bursting and a semi-role-playing game combined. However, the game was a little too short and I would've liked it to be a little more interesting with more twists. Also, as mentioned, I would've enjoyed a sort-of 'boss battle' with the evil sisters, instead of just speaking with them by choosing the right option.

GAMEPLAY: 4/5
This is a unique game- semi-RPG and bubble-bursting. And, most importantly, it's free!

CHILD-FRIENDLINESS: 4.5/5
Any parent hesitating to download this on their iOS device for their child should forget about their worries and directy download. The game is easily navigable and is extremely child-friendly.

REPLAY VALUE: 1/5
After I finished the game after a day of serious playing, and then I deleted it- I was done, and there was no more point playing.

MUSIC: 3.5/5
The music is nice and bouncy.

TOTAL: 23.5/35
