Cradle of Empires Match-3 Gems App Reviews

This isnt the first time Ive played this. I just keep coming back! Great game

Fairly typical but entertaining puzzle game. There is enough there to keep you interested. Problem is you have to get certain items in order to unlock the ability to turn in for reward other items youve collected. Those unlock items are nearly impossible to complete. I have played and beat the same level literally fifty times. I get lots of other items, but not the one I need. You can of course buy the item with gems at a very high cost. I am quickly losing patience and interest.

I love this game.

Love the game. Levels could be a little more difficult.

So far fascinating game. But you have to use so much of your energy to play the levels. It takes away from the fun.

It is an ok game.

All I can say is I love this game

Im fairly new to the game but it keeps my interest and keeps me coming back. I havent been bored with this game as I become with many others which says a lot too

Too long to rebuild lives and cost to upgrade levels always changes. Makes it very irritating to play.

Well Im not very far in but so far I like it. I will be interested to see the distribution of supplies as the game progresses...

Some skills I just cant do with arthritis so I cant move forward. Started off fun now some of the challenges are just boring....I finally just turned the volume to mute...voice is very annoying!

Lowering my rating after this April update. Hate the cheesy voice telling me "Good," "Great" etc. and there appears no way to turn the voice off without turning off the sound completely. Also, have only played a few minutes but it appears there are now pop-up ads in addition to the "watch a video and get a gem" ads. Ive played this almost every day since I down-loaded the game...but it may not stick around much longer.

This went from a 4 star game I really enjoyed playing daily to 2 stars because of the voice over announcing "Good", "Great", & "Marvelous" moves. What was once a relaxing game now has a jarring element that makes me turn off all sounds. Hope this becomes a feature I can disable soon.

Another update and sadly, its just more glitz than substance. If I am to keep a game app of 1.2 GB installed I need a good reason to do so by playing a fun game, not a game in which the premise is for the player to use up energy and crystals with little advancement in return. An Awem representative has stated that specific chargers are indeed rare and they suggest that the game is to be played occasionally. I have been playing daily for 5 months and I have found only a handful or so of these "rare" chargers. The drop rate on these needed chargers is basically non existent. When I first started playing, the game was fun, entertaining and challenging. The graphics are great. Leveling up through the game has become slow, difficult and frustrating. I am tired of chasing after specific chargers which are rare to show up and there are many times where I am given charger/s and collection items over and over ( and over! ) that I have already collected far too many of to be of any use. I have been hanging on in hope that this game will eventually be offered with a more honest play balance and not programed to only empty my pocket with little progress or even more importantly, some needed fun, in return. Many of the puzzles are still set to lose repeatedly and push me to pay by using up bonuses and crystals if I want advancement through the game. I would be foolish to spend real money on a game that is basically like playing a slot machine.

Pleas remove the annoying yay you did it crap. You have destroyed my zen. This was a 5star game. Please restore it to its former greatness!

Love the game but had to mute all the sounds to get rid of the new, completely unnecessary, and ANNOYING voice, so not enjoying the game now. Also dislike the stars jumping out of the words. Game deserves 5 stars but not with the latest changes.

The sound effects were great for this game....and then you go and add an annoying voice saying ridiculous things like "good" or "great"...it is so unnecessary and silly...My rating would be higher had this not been added....

Before the latest update my interest was beginning to wane. Progression through the game was slow even though I played it everyday. And now after the update theres the annoying cheerleader voice which is unnecessary. I also have an issue that sometimes theres sound and sometimes theres not. May delete soon. :-(

I have been playing this game since it first came out and love it. I play daily. But the latest upgrade may make me stop playing. I absolutely hate that "encouraging" voice. Please remove it.

I have been playing this game for a very long time and have resisted reviewing it thinking I was just not good at solving these puzzles. However, reading these recent reviews shows me that I am not alone in getting frustrated with puzzles that are obviously set to not be solved without additional help from other tools. Now with this new update you put in an unnecessary cheerleader and botched up the daily ad video that, at least, gave you the opportunity to get crystals. My finger is hovering over the delete button!!!
