League of Mermaids

League of Mermaids is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as a cheap, lazy cash grab. It's a hybrid match-3/physics game. Similar to Puzzle Bobble, instead of shooting balls up at a lowering ceiling to clear out the balls, the balls are resting in various containers, and a physics system bounces them around each time you shoot a ball into the containers. This isn't the worst concept/variation on the match-3 theme and the presentation is better than most, but the physics is very sloppy, which results in unpredicable outcomes and unsatisfying results every time you make a move. Combine this with the general super-simplistic game concept and mobile-itis, as well as $10 for a mobile app, and I can't recommend this one. Once more we see greedy mobile devs trying to scam PC gamers. They want $10 for this free mobile app! Mobile devs must learn PC gamers are not here to be gouged, and can't be expected to pay $10 for a free mobile app just because it's been lazily dumped on Steam. This is unacceptable disrespect for PC gamers. I didn't spend thousands on a gaming PC so I could pretend it's an iPhone.

"League of Mermaids" is a casual 3-match game with moving, colourful marbles/balls. So you just don't switch stones but drop them on others so at least three of the same kind would touch each other. When every one of them is gone, the level's finished. The levels can turn challenging wether it's by obstacles between you and your marbles (platforms, etc.) or it's by level features that make you think more about physics and movements in order to win the level (like gear wheels or mill wheels). Also there's some story going on about mermaids and treasures but it's not very interesting and also not important to follow. Just do the levels and be hooked. That's also a hint for you if you fear the mermaids would be just too much of a girly game: The mermaids are just part of the cutscenes. The game itself I enjoy. It's very addicting and entertaining. It's also relaxing. So all in all I call it a good casual game/time waster and a bit more fun and challenging than an ordinary 3-match game. The gameplay is very easy, you just click to drop marbles. Not much more to say about that. The graphics are fine and clear, not too bright and colourful and fit to the underwater world. The sound is subtle and okay, the music's not horrible but also not exactly exciting so soon after starting with the game I also started playing my own music as background music. When it comes to Steam features, it has achievements but no trading cards or something else. So if you look for a relaxing, nice casual game (wether if you like mermaids or not) for a couple of bucks, this might be a good one for you.

It's decent match 3 game with nice phisics and interesting level design.

Not your regular Match 3 game, the different puzzles and levels mean lots of variety and lots of difficulty shifts depending on the level, story could be better but it's definetly something you could waste time on the Achievements and some of the level requirements for 3 stars are very tedious and annoying but once your past them it does get better. Overall i give it 7.5/10
