Potential for great game, but p2p(pay to play)
This is another creative and challenging hidden object game by G5. Unfortunately, the market scene is match-3 and impossible to make any real progress in it without boosters. It’s also rather obvious that the coded algorithms for it decide when you will win (which I loathe and is common in other games I play-Homescapes and their newer manor matters). When they decide that you’ve spent real money and can afford the in-game currency for purchase of boosters for the match-3, and actually use at least one booster, “magically” other boosters appear from other pieces finding their places (eyeroll lol!) However, when no booster is used, the pieces align with near impossible matching options to actually beat the level. I also do NOT like that boosters are NOT created whenever other pieces are in chains! Wth??!! And I’m quite sure that each level of the market scene only allots 25 moves no matter the objective(s) indicated! Wth??!! The market level also cannot be accessed in the ‘other world!’ Wth??!! So any supposedly special items that one is led to believe will be found in the other world is off limits for this scene (I haven’t seem to find many significant special items in searching the other world, but I’m only on level 18) There’s also the issue of only one search location having a required item for creating the whole of a quest collection. And of course the market has at least one of these that must be obtained. Granted G5 does give quite a lot of in-game currency at first in hopes of getting one ‘addicted’ to the game that they ultimately resort to spend real money to keep playing at a reasonable pace for the duration of a lifetime lol. I used this in-game currency to buy boosters for the market level but won’t be buying anymore with real money. Also, compared to the few other games I play by different creators, G5 does NOT have what I would consider ‘good deals’ for purchase options. I’m also currently playing their match-3 Hawaii mansion renovation game and the same applies for these so-called deals. They must be doing something right though to keep offering them at the same ridiculous prices, and not that I can justify a $0.99 or $1.99 purchase that I make occasionally, but these $5 and $10 offers are ludicrous for a handful of in-game tools imo. Anyways, I’ll probably play occasionally here and there because the energy does replenish somewhat quickly at least compared to their Hidden City game which is like days long! Oh and I also don’t like that the majority of in-game items for purchase with in-game currency are only available for rubies, not coins (which of course this is what one has the most of without spending real money!)
And the market scene alone will prevent me from progressing and hence continuing to play. I do NOT like it that much because it’s not challenging but impossible and just not fun.
And for G5, I do love most of your games and wish I had more time to play them. The graphics are superb and the stories are very creative overall. I’d love to see you come out with an undersea or underwater game perhaps mer-people based or mythical or intertwined!!! Thank you for your games that are entertaining and mostly ‘free’ and I hope for your safety during these uncertain times <3

Thank you for posting! Have fun playing Hidden Epee!
3 match games are impossible to beat
This game will try to force you to recharge as the 3 match quests are impossible to beat without buying extra turns with diamonds. Good luck!
