@PestilenceWarrior: in the armory you click on the health potion and that's where you can use consumables, (i.e. food)

I agree with Socran on this one. The debt either needed to be revised, or some other goal needs to get put into place. Just playing without a goal gives you no reason to improve or use the store, which makes this just another match-3 game. If still a quality one

If you're having trouble with Unholy Temple, try a setup with Fool's Gold, Sneak Attack, and Warlord. Those were my main source of damage, my other three spells were Planned Assault, Fire Storm, and Ice Storm. After 4 losses, I switched to that and breezed through with over half health remaining.

Haven't even left on my 1st "Adventure", but... Yes, I realize I won't be able to afford anything in the shop at the beginning, but would it be too much to ask to at *least* see what everything actually costs...?

'River's End' should be renamed to 'A Spot A Little Further Down River From The Last Time You Were Here Grinding For Unholy Temple.' Just a suggestion anyway. :)

For someone who normally makes very high quality games, this seems incredibly phoned in. For one, there's no ending sequence, just the achievement. For two, several spells are buggy (Timewarp especially), and it is possible when using gem-altering or gem-destroying effects to screw up the game's ability to recognize and remove matches(!), something that happened to me once after a Midas Touch, if I recall correctly. Further, as someone who played the original Puzzle Quest, half the point of that game was that the enemies took turns on the board. In this, the enemies merely feel like countdown timers to how long you have to finish the area. Also, it's non-intuitive but extremely annoying that whenever you beat an enemy, if you didn't do so on the end of your turn, you risk losing actions.

Nice take on the match-3 game. A little request I have is to have some indicator of how many enemies there are left in the adventure. That way I know when to pull out all of the stops. :D

After coming across that wizard (the shop owner), Papa Louie doesn't seem SO bad. At least Louie didn't leave me with a 30k loan @ 180% A.P.R. on top of running the shop. But then again, killing werewolves > making tacos for fat guys, so, yeah...

I grinded for an hour at River's End because it was to hard to continue so I paid of the debt. Bummer, I am pretty sure my stuff is better.

WOW, there's a huge jump in difficulty from River's End (dungeon 19) to Unholy Temple (dungeon 20). #19 has three guys, with ~200 HP. #20 has five guys, with 300-500HP.

I love the game. The enemy dialog and item descriptions are great. I do miss the option to play as a female character. I mean, for this type of game, gender isn't all that important, but one of the things I loved about the last game was that there WAS a female option.

When the enemy is about to die (1 hit) wait till the 2 phase turn, then you can kill him twice (hence you get double rewards). Yes its a bug.

when you manage to make an 8 in a row, it still only says five of a kind (as to howto do it? , get 8 in a row of treasure and gem at most two of the same type next to one another and then cast wealth)

What kind of wizard takes out a mafia loan with 182.5% APR? He has to have a credit rating in the negatives.... I'm betting he's got a serious addiction, and he went on a trip to avoid getting his kneecaps broken.

The store could be for a mining company, with the amount of coal and diamonds you start churning out in the later stages. I'm beginning to wish there was a "sell all coal" or "sell all of this type" option.

It's very bugged. I have HP regen, I have 4 HP left, the opponent does 4 damage, but I regen for 1. It said 1HP left, but then get the window that I lost. And now I got another error, I just made a mega combo and it shows now just a ! on the screen.

After all of that effort, after fighting numerous baddies, after striding bravely into the fiery pit of hell itself, all i have to show for it is a shop full of coal and an unsellable rusty longsword!

The various storm spells are broken - they do damage in addition to everything else. Load up on the spells that sweep the board of one element, and a little Healing Match and Extra Turn bonus, and the game gets stupidly easy. Even early on you get Fire Storm, Wealth, Eternal Rage... you're down to only 4 elements on the bottom half of the board - easy to make big matchups and chains. With all of the storm spells, Eternal Rage and wealth, you're looking at 5-10 turns in a row for around 25 damage each and massive healing. Nothing stands a chance.

Kind of a bummer that the last few levels just yield coal instead of these incredibly awesome items that keep getting better. It like a bad xmas with all this coal in my shop. D:

After going against what everyone in the comments said, i decided to play this anyway, to get the badge of the day. However after playing for a little while I'm actually starting to enjoy this game. It's an interesting concept however it not everyone's style of game. So before anyone passes this up based on reviews you should give it a few minutes of your time.

After we clear all 24 adventures and pay off debt, can we get some sort of "congrats you did it" or maybe a visit by dad? Because after you clear all adventures and payback the debt, game is finished, you know?

There is no mystery why you can't sell the first sword. It's clear Undefined made it this way to avoid hundreds of silly complaints like "I was dumb enough to sell all weapons I had on my savefile with 100+ days and now I can't do anything to win another one. Help I'm stuck..." So you should just accept it's for your own sake :P

It would be nice if the items had categories (reagent, treasure, etc) included in their descriptions. It's sometimes difficult to figure out which items I need to put up on days with bonuses to selling certain categories.

getting rid of debt was stupid. was a good add to the game because it gives gold a greater purpose. now because some kids whine about it we lose it. its not even that hard to pay off.

Tips: "Wealth" is a great spell to earn treasure points. Get blue gems upgraded enough (around 15~?) to get 8 points for a 3 combo and use wealth at the beginning of the round for easy treasure. /// Do not overfarm the last 3 stages. All they drop is coal. /// Overfarming the first stage on the last list seems to be the best to farm. (River's End) /// Nymph's Spellbook from the River's End can be used till the end of the game. /// Overfarming can be done up to 15 times max, as you can do 2 attacks + 6 "Sneak Attacks" and 8 "Cold Snaps." Overfarming is where you hit the enemy again after he is dead, giving you loot/gold as many times as you can hit them while they are dead.

Adding to @accordingleaf's advice of using the Sneak Attack spell and casting it during your first turn to kill the enemy three times... you can cast the spell again. And again. And again. Untill you run out of green mana or rage. And there was a blue mana spell (forgot it's name) that deals 4 damage to the enemy and doesn't end your turn. You can also add that to your killing streak. That way, you can kill the enemy a TON of times.

A great set of spells is this:
Energy Storm - uses all energy gems for mana and damage
Fool's Gold - converts all gold gems to poison gems
Poison Storm - uses all poison gems for mana and damage
Sneak Attack - Gives extra turns for weapon attacks
Planned Assault - uses all rage gems for rage
A big-ass weapon - uses all that yummy rage for tons of damage.
Stock up your character with damage bonuses and some regeneration and you're pretty much set.

having just a handful of loot for each long round makes grinding near the end boring, and with the sudden leap in difficulty one needs to grind in order to afford the necessary upgrades. so in the end i'm leaving that hard badge for another day if at all because of that.

I neglected my debt until the very end of the game. It is now at 75,564 gold and will increase by 378 this day. Fortunately, after 1 modest hunt I have made 111,198 gold. Although the compounding interest may be scary, it will not grow so out of control that you can never pay it off.
