There are definitely some issues and nothing screws you up more than the sausage trio but I can’t stop playing this game. ### 4/5 — Great game I just have one suggestion. *2019-12-24* It is an amazing game. It is so much fun and super easy to get hooked on. I would say that when the board fills up and it says game over, it would be a lot better if it would give you the option to try to use something from the shop to fix the problem. I was playing and accidentally filled one too many spaces and the game ended after I had worked so hard to create a weapon for an exceptional customer. I had everything laid out and if I had the option to use something from the shop I would have been able to win the game. ### 4/5 — Great game but the frequent crashes are ruining it *2019-06-25* Really fun game, helps pass the time. It's unique in it's gameplay and has enough content to keep you focused. Making weapons is fun and challenges your mind; you really have to be smart with your ores and all. One BIG downside to the game; the crashes. I've had to restart 3 days because my game ended up crashing past the ad. It is aggravating when I worked hard to past a day then I have start all over again. One thing I left out: surprisingly, it doesn’t sap your battery. It was dead at work one day and I practically played non-stop and my phone still managed to keep 20% by the end of my 8 hour shift. Still, the crashes still occur and it irks my mood sometimes. ### 5/5 — Fantastic game *2019-06-21* Looking Forward to the future of these developers. ### 5/5 — Best puzzle + merge *2019-05-16* Couldn't really stay away from the game. You guys really should do a third one in this. ### 5/5 — I just keep coming back... *2019-01-27* I might binge this game until I feel a little bored. It takes a LOT of game hours for that ;) Then I go find new puzzle games, give them a try, and rarely find one as satisfying as Puzzle Forge 2. It's been years now, and I just keep coming back for more! ### 5/5 — 不好意思 *2018-12-01, version 1.21* 請問會有中文化嗎？ ### 3/5 — Issues *2018-07-31* I don’t know if this is just my phone, but sometimes the game glitches and I can be a 0 lives and still serve customers. Also, my money has glitched out before and I can buy anything with a price lower than the money I have and it won’t go down. Also when I’ve tried to hand equipment to someone before it glitched and froze and I could still interact with everything else but the person. Still it’s a fantastic game and I would read it higher if these glitches didn’t keep happening. ### 3/5 — I bought the remove ad *2018-04-05, version 1.21* BUT IT ISN’T WORKING, STUPID ADS STILL POP UP EVERY TIME, PLEASE FIX IT! I enjoyed the game so I paid for that, but I ends up disappointed. ### 4/5 — Great game but NEEDS more weapons or things to make *2018-02-21, version 1.21* Literally lacking ### 3/5 — It is a great game *2018-01-03, version 1.21* I am a chinese,it did not download zhis game，so l come usa app store，the game is vary great ### 5/5 — A delightfully original surprise *2017-11-06* In a genre stuffed with lame match-3 clones, this game stands out as an actual puzzler! One where you have to plan an increasing amount of moves ahead to stay alive, and when you lose it’s from lack of foresight rather than the cheap randomness so rampant in mobile games these days. And it helps that the “RPG blacksmith” flavor is applied beautifully. Get this game and challenge your brain. ### 3/5 — Sympa mais... *2017-10-09* Jeux très sympa et addictif mais beaucoup beaucoup trop de pub. Une vidéo de 30 à 40 sec à chaque fin de niveau c'est trop... ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2017-09-09, version 1.21* I spend so many hours playing this it's not even funny ### 3/5 — Норм *2017-08-19* Игра, отличная но за наличие рекламы и доната -2 ⭐️ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I really did like this game but .. *2020-03-31* It says it’s 9 years and up. I think parents should know that if you were to read some of the comments that’s the characters speak it’s filthy foul language I wouldn’t want my child reading very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Great Until *2019-04-22, version 1.21* I thought this game was wonderful until it suddenly threw the most rage quit inducing difficulty spike I have ever encountered at me and wouldn’t even let me take a fail and keep playing. ### 1/5 — Crashed and stucked *2018-12-03* ... ### 1/5 — Does not save progress *2018-05-06, version 1.21* Does not save progress. You will constantly replay the tutorial.... ### 1/5 — Schlecht *2016-12-01* Macht kein Spaß ### 1/5 — Don't get *2016-01-09, version 1.15* Very stupid game. ### 1/5 — Current version!!!!! *2015-11-15, version 1.15* It isn't working since the new update. I can't even open it. It just says it is downloading. Please fix. I love this game and will give 5 stars when I can open it again. ### 1/5 — Why ask me to pay again? *2015-11-11, version 1.15* I've already bought it ,why after updated you ask me to pay again?! And, where is Chinese language ? ### 1/5 — DO NOT Buy in-app purchases! *2015-06-04, version 1.13.1* Anything you bought will be removed if you reinstall your game, INCLUDING the "remove ads" feature. This is lame! I want my money back. ### 1/5 — Uncompleted game *2015-04-26, version 1.13.1* The game play is fun and innovative. However, the game system is real bad. It crash and freeze all the time on my ipad air. Don't waste your time and money on this game. เกมสนุก แต่ระบบเกมส์มีปัญหามาก ค้างตลอดเวลา ไม่แนะนำให้เสียเวลา และเงินกับเกมส์นี้ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Updates please! *2024-10-31* I love this game. By far the best merge puzzle ever. Please make more like this! ### 5/5 — Really fun game… however *2024-06-06* This is the type of game thats really entertaining, however its easy to lose track of the day while playing. So play it, but be careful not to lose track of time. ### 5/5 — One of the Best *2023-03-11* I’ve owned this game for many years and played through it several times. There are no other games quite like it - I’m always looking for another match 3 with this depth and playability. If you like thinking a bit more strategically than the “candy crush” type games, this is the game for you. Love it! ### 5/5 — Love this game *2022-12-13* This game is just amazing, every-time i play it i feel more full-filled, download it right now ### 5/5 — 10/10 would recommend *2022-04-27* I have been playin this game for around 6 years. Making finished products to sell to the NPCs is a great mechanic and keeps me coming back. This game already has a lot of content and is clearly a finished product but, It would be nice if the game was updated to fill in the rest of the screen. Still trying to discover how to make all the legendary weapons, made one on accident and have been workin towards completing the set ever sense. 10/10 would recommend ### 5/5 — Love it! *2022-01-28* Addicting, tricky enough and I like the humor :) ### 5/5 — Finally doing this. *2020-09-20* I've had this game for several years and thought it wouldn't be on the App Store by now, but I was shocked to find out that it was not only still here, but also only had 73 reviews! Honestly, I couldn't recommend this game more. It's stayed fun for several years, and though I don't play it as frequently as I used to, it's one of the games that has stayed on my iPad the longest. I love this game so much. ### 5/5 — Help *2019-12-26* Best puzzle game ever. Been playing for a yr. still love it. Only one problem. I dont have enchanted slots. Always did before. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled I think theee times. I keep losing the game on account of not being able to give my hero’s enchanted weapons. I hope that we can fix this. 😢 ### 5/5 — 耐玩 *2019-11-30, version 1.21* 很好玩的益智遊戲，就是閃退得有點嚴重 ### 5/5 — 超好玩～ *2019-09-18, version 1.21* 單機益智遊戲，很棒！ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
