I have Faerie Solitare on Steam and love it. It was completely addicted for a couple days and grabbed it for iOS. First thing I noticed is that it it quite expensive for an iPhone game. Where most fall in the dollar range or up to $3.99 for premium games, at $7 this game is very pricey. I bought it anyway because I enjoyed the PC version so much.
This is not the PC version. Its a very neutered version of its PC counterpart.
First of all the visuals are toned down. Where the pc version had bright cheery colors, this one is very dull and dark. The game is also considerably harder. Where I was getting 25+ card combos on PC, Im struggling to get up to 10 on here. Progression is also extremely slow. Your average round will earn $400-$600, $1000 for a really good round.The upgrades cost $25,000 to $300,000 on the high end. Thats 300 really good rounds to get the more expensive items, and thats just one. There are several. Even the cash bonus upgrade isnt worth it because you need to win about 500 rounds before it starts paying for itself. This is something that has been changed since the PC version as I had gotten a few upgrades rather quickly.
Its buggy. My finish time for levels is almost always in the negatives. Its a poor UI. To close the menu you have to press adventure, which looks a button you would press to start a new game. The creatures do nothing which feels like a huge waste. Anything could have been done with them. Small cash bonuses, multipliers, anything...
If youre looking for solitare, its fine but very expensive for what you get. If youre coming from the PC version, be ready for disappointment.
