Castle Story: Puzzle & Choice Hack 1.77.3 + Redeem Codes

I’m having a WONDERFUL experience playing this fantasy! I’ve won the first 30 levels and having such fun with the characters and the decorating. I’m an old lady with not much to do and rarely get visitors, so this is so exciting for me. I’m living vicariously thru this fantasy! 💖. I hate games where I lose at levels more often than win, so I end up deleting them when the challenge becomes too great. I don’t mind being challenged, howe, life is challenging enough, and it’s great to know I have this game as an escape. So…. Thank you so very much for giving me something to look forward to when I wake up in the morning. The boosters are easily accessible and I love everything about it! You’ve made an old gramma a happy lady!

This is your typical game like Homescapes, Gardenscapes, etc. It starts out fun for several levels, although this one did become a bit tedious sooner than the others. There are no extra mini-games or such like the others have. But just like the others, as you get to the higher levels, they start charging more for stupid things. At first everything is only one scroll, then it goes up to two scrolls for everything. And they charge you one scroll to go to sleep, walk downstairs, read letters, etc.

That in of itself is not a big deal. But then they make the higher levels so difficult and virtually impossible to pass unless you pay money and buy power ups and more lives. Most of these games do this and it’s extremely annoying. I would just as soon pay a fee upfront and be able to play without having to buy anything else. And when the levels get too hard to pass without buying things, it’s frustrating and will quickly make you lose interest.

That being said, it is fun to play until you get to the point that I mentioned above. But now it’s time to delete it and find another one.

Like too many match 3 games, it starts off fun, but after they think you are invested in the game, a higher percentage of the levels are impossibly hard so that you either have to buy items to get through the level or spend hours to days of frustration trying to win.
These levels are designed to be impossible until the designers manipulate the fall of the symbols to allow for a win. It’s no longer about skill but about how much money you can spend.
I fully understand that designers deserve compensation for their work, and I’m more than willing to spend money in a game as long as I think the game is fair. But when you come across impossible levels where you have no legitimate chance to succeed, it seems like cheating. And these are not only the ones labeled “Hard” or Super Hard” levels but the regular levels too!

Castle Story has the potential to be one of the very best Match 3 games out there. Unfortunately, it too quickly gets to a point where the frustration factor far out weights the fun factor.

I'm currently on level 91 and yes it is a bit frustrating. But I really enjoy the wonderful feeling of pride when you finally pass a hard or difficult level. When I don't have enough coins I will open the app, claim my daily reward, (Depending on my schedule or mood) I may move on to another game. If you do this you get the prizes. After a while you have boosters and coins. This will help you pass the level. My 1 big problem: The piggy bank. I'm not willing to spend the money to get coins; that I ALREADY EARNED from previous levels. I often find myself wanting more coins, however I'm not allowed to spend money. The main problem with the piggy bank is just one word. Why? Why does the piggy bank even exist? I know the answer; to get money. But still it kind of feels like the money we earned is getting almost like stolen fron me and the sold back to me for a price.

Update 2- Now up to two dozen lives owed... crown/bomb combo kicks me off EVERY. TIME! I would have won about 10 games if this hadn't happened. Emails to your feedback go unanswered... what is happening? It was a good game until this!
Update - you now owe me 9 lives... EVERY SINGLE GAME FROZE IN THE MIDLDLE AND KICKED ME OFF!! I reboot only to have lost a life and the boosters ... PLEASE. FIX. THE. GAME. 😤
The game seems to purposely mess up moves, like if I slide one way it goes another, and the bees are more against you than with you half the time. Over half the levels I’ve played have literally ended with ONE square left... maddening!
And now after the 9/29 update today, almost every other time I would do a crown/bomb or rocket combo, the game would freeze, kick me off, and I would have to reboot to find I’m a life down and any boosters I used taken🤬 ... y'all owe me about 4 lives, and couple of each booster!
It’s too bad, because the premise is good, but I should not be spending 30-40 minutes on ONE level between having to reboot and the glitches... people will get discouraged and delete the game. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

This game says it is for 4 years of age plus. Why are the games so hard? There is no way a 4 yr old can win some of these games. Several different age levels in our family are playing this game and some of the games are extremely hard. It took me almost 2 days to win one level with no kind of reward to help out. There is no way my littles could win it! And why does it take 2 and 3 scrolls just to do simple little things? Why not just use 1 scroll for each task done? And why does the direction change when you are trying to use a bomb or one of the bonuses? I want to go one way and it goes the other! And sometimes I might be almost winning with maybe 1 or2 left to do and have maybe 4 or 5 moves left to do it in and all of a sudden my moves are gone! Why not have a choice level that you have to pick for the level of difficulty ? That way everyone could be happy and you wouldn’t have to use up all of your bonuses before you really need them? I am not very happy and almost ready to delete!

This is really a fun game and the puzzles so far are not hard and that makes it more fun. However, it crashes and closes every couple of minutes and now crashes as soon as I try to open it!
I sent an email to support yesterday. Now I can’t play the game at all. It would rate four or five stars if it worked.

UPDATE customer support has been very helpful in trying to determine why the game crashes. I suspect the problem is that my device is too old to run some of the newer games and not a problem with the game. I am giving it five stars because the game is so much fun and because support was so prompt.

Love this. So many rewards throughout the game. It wouldn’t load for a full day and I was getting pretty frustrated. But it started working again, thankfully.
Would give 5 stars if you could do two moves at once. Like if you have a crown next to a rocket and another crown next to a bomb, you should be able to make those matches quickly at the same time. I play other match 3 games that allow two moves at once and I wish they would make that happen in this game.
I also wish you could interact with the characters and environment more.
Other than that, super fun.

Naturally as you progress, levels get harder and harder. I don’t mind that, but the degree of challenge is already to the point that it’s making the game more frustrating and challenging than fun and relaxing. I don’t mind paying for boosters once in a while, but every 10 levels or less is excessive.
On a positive note, the story is cute, cohesive, and wholesome. The banter between characters is positively delightful! And the design choices along with all the rest of the artwork is wonderfully done and a joy to look at. I recently got to the geese challenge, and the fact the artwork changes perspective with the angle was a fun surprise.
Overall I enjoy the game and will piddle away failing at levels 😅

I’ve lost so many levels and rewards because the game glitches. For example level 369 had two colors on one square and I couldn’t move either one. The dynamite was behind one and it wouldn’t let me use it so I lost the level and the rewards.

Thanks for contacting me but there is no possible way for me to go back and screenshot what is happening. I also agree about the fish. Those levels are absolute trash. Any other game lets you move them by matching next to them. This game makes you hit them with a power up. I was also charged $60 when I bought ONE $9.99 coin pack. They charged me several more times. I tried to dispute but it got me nowhere. This game is a cash grab. Definitely not worth the money or the headache. Deleting the app. Don’t waste your time or money.
