We cant say enough about this game so much fun while also being challenging! Only thing we dont like is the inability to play more than five lives at a time without needing to pay.
Its fun but Im pumping out words as fast as we can and its no enough. The star thing were you get get hit once is crazy with how fast the mobs attack. The ads are a lot but we Get it. Will probably lose interest after a week or two. We cant seem to keep up with the time of the monsters attacks.
Its fun, but with the limited lives and timers, its not fun in a castaway like a word game should be.
Nice simple word game with rpg dnd elements. Makes you think fast and keeps your mind sharp (as well as your wand!). We enjoyed it more than Alphabear.
A fun and challenging game where you battle monsters by spelling words. Longer words are more powerful against the various goblins, undead, etc, but you primarily gain strength through gear and other upgrades (IOW, its a game for fun, not learning new words). One thing we didnt realize until much later items in your bag are not active until you use them. The first item we picked up was a shield, and we thought that carrying it meant we had extra protection. Nope! The shield is a one-time-use item (like a health potion) vs an equipped item (like a hat). You have to tap the shield, then your character is protected in a temporary bubble. Yes, this game has ads, and they are fantastic!! Yea, sounds crazy to say that ads are fantastic, but how many times have you seen ads where the close button moves around? Where theres no mute button? Where the ad fakes you out by counting down, then counting down again? NONE of that bull happens in this game. All ads have a close button in the upper right, a mute button in the lower left, and only one countdown. We wish all games handled ads the same straightforward way this one does!
We used to play years ago and now we finally beat the dragon. Its a fun game to enjoy and learn. If you want to get unlimited lives, just change the date/time 1 day in the future. Then go back in the game, and you will have full lives and a new chest ready.
Super fun concept. Rpg meets words. We love to make different words and see how that defeats the monsters. Absolutely delightful. Every time after we watch an ad the screen goes black and we must reload the app. Please fix.
Its very fun but we would say to fun. There is one problem we hate and that is that you have limited play, Why should u be limited to learn? We think that is a stupid idea to put that we understand you need to make a profit but u made this game for kids to learn and now that u put a limit to play we think that was dumb but otherwise its good.
We absolutely love this game. You spell words to kill monsters and make your way up a tower, and you earn coins to upgrade your equipment along the way. You can spend hours playing this game without ever spending real money, if you like, though we did make some in-game purchases to support the developers. Thank you for such a great game!
This game should be a because it is the best game ever it has scary monsters like this emoji this game is educational and it is super addictive if you dont like the game we will on you so yeah it is the best.
This game is so fun but we beat it so fast because we cant put it down. We really hope the devs make more levels.
Didnt think Ill get myself into this mess. Good job!
Im a nerd but Im a stoner too.
Absolutely love ALMOST everything about this game: the graphics, the concept, the depth… But we wish you could get lives faster than having to pay or wait 2 1/2 hours for 5 lives. All in all though it is rather addictive.
If you are into RPGs and also appreciate word games, this is an awesome little game. Its been many years since we actually had a game that we felt the need to check in with on our phone. Some people complained about the timer on your lives refilling… We actually like it a LOT – it makes sure that we dont play for too long in a sitting, but gives us a reason to keep playing. We do wish they had a version where you paid money up front so you didnt have to deal with ads. We would pay a pretty decent amount right off of the bat for this option (moving it to a paid app rather than free). Yes, any purchase gets rid of the main ads, but you still need to watch one to get better letters for three rounds or to get a percentage more gold at the end of a level. That being said, great art style and animations, crisp sound effects and a nice soundtrack. Overall, super fun! Im pretty addicted to it!
We enjoy the game, but it is quite difficult for the kids we work with. They are dyslexic and have a hard time finding words so quickly without dying right away. The kids love killing the monsters! We would love to see an option where you can either have no timer or that the timer can be set to be slowed down. MG.
Difficult to know what Im working towards.
The game is conceptually exactly what we were looking for, and its very challenging. However, its weird to us that we can beat a level that we already passed and still somehow manage to lose a life. Plan to have one or two other games alongside this that you can switch between while waiting 30 minutes for another life.
Right to the point on this one. There needs to be an option to outright buy this game so you don’t have to wait for lives to recharge. Put this as an IAP, for around $3, and we wouldnt be able to recommend this enough. As is, sadly, Spell Spire feels like an overly grammatical money grab. Fix it.
We like this game but the last time we played was last night and we still dont have any lives?!
An interesting game concept ruined by poor design choices. The gameplay is simple and fun and provides players with a sense of progression and achievement. However, the flow of the game is halted by frequent and intrusive ads. Ads are a necessary evil in free games like this, but the game is further complicated by providing players with five lives, which are consumed during normal gameplay independent of the players performance, and replenish at the slow rate of 30 minutes per life. Unlike many similar ad-supported games, you cant watch an ad for more lives, buy more lives with in game currency, or do anything else to actually continue playing the game… Except wait two and a half hours or pay actual cash to replenish your lives. Five minutes of gameplay, followed by two and a half hours of downtime. Couple this with the fact that the game is grindy. If you dont repeat levels and grind for game money to buy and upgrade your gear, you will quickly find yourself unable to progress no matter how well you play. Your character simply wont be strong enough even if your word and gaming skills are top notch. Keep in mind that repeating a level, or trying the next level and dying, both cost one of your lives. One minute of gameplay for thirty minutes of downtime.
The game is very original and clever. We were super excited when we first got the game, however over time even the games originality couldnt save it from itself. For one, the ad system got to be overwhelming. Every 2-3 levels youd get an ad and almost all the time you beat a level youd get one. We guess the developers figured theyd take advantage of your euphoria from finally beating a level and stuck a guaranteed ad in there. Secondly, there should definitely be an affordable infinite lives in-app purchase like Trivia Crack did a couple years ago before they got greedy (it was $25 and then after a year or so they made it $100 which is ridiculous for a phone game). People shouldnt have to spend $1 every time they want their lives refilled when it should just be $10-$25 for a one time purchase. FORTNITE IS FREE PEOPLE. The game only offers cosmetic purchases; nothing that affects game play. Imagine having 5 lives and then having to wait 2 1/2 until you could play again. Its ludicrous.
This game is basically designed to try and make you spend as much money as possible. You lose lives weather you die or not and that makes no sense. If they could just get rid of that stupid mechanism then the game would be much more enjoyable because it is actually a very fun game.
Pushiness of upgrading and constant ads makes this game impossible to fully enjoy.
It is a unique game. Right at the beginning, the game starts giving you an ad every time you finish your level. Each level gives you 30 seconds of gameplay and then it gives you 30 seconds of ads. We get that they are trying to earn a living off the game but there are so many ads all the time that its hard to try it out and enjoy it. The other issue Is that you lose lies very quickly. We get that it is an RPG style game, however you have to wait at least 30 minutes for you to get one life back. In addition, every time you beat a level for a free star you lose a life automatically. This game has potential to be fun but is inundated with barriers.
This game is really fun but it always falls short because every time we start to get into it we run out of lives. 5 is the max which is 5 levels. Which it takes 30 minutes for one life to come back. If You could pay a set price for this game we would but its not worth paying a dollar every 10 minutes to get more lives.
Great game, original concept, but its hard to play because theres so many ads. Getting up the levels without paying any money is hard, too.
This is a great game that combines different aspects of games that we enjoy; however we cannot get over the fact that the game pushes purchases to be able to have the full experience. Instead of watching an ad for an extra life (or something along those lines), the game immediately says pay $.99 for an extra life otherwise, we have to wait 30 minutes for more play time. We like this game a lot, but not enough to spend money on it. :/
This game is fun for like 20minutes. Then you are out of lives and have to wait to play for even a little bit. We saw a sewer thing that said we could pay to unlock unlimited access to endless dungeons so we bought it thinking it would give us something to play while we were waiting for more lives. WRONG. We still couldn’t play it since we were out of lives and then when we finally went in we got the smack down from an enemy that is the boss 7 floors above our current progress. This was only the second enemy in the endless dungeon. If we could pay for unlimited lives we would gladly pay and probably love this game. Instead we can pay a dollar to get 10 lives, which is ridiculous to us.
24 hours and no new lives????? Like all games nowadays – designed to make you lose so you have to spend money!
Ran out of lives and had to wait 30 minutes to regain a life. Reopened app a week later and still have no lives. Does the app actually need to be open as you wait for time to count down?
Honestly wasnt a bad game until we ran into this tired mechanic. We cant enjoy the game because it wants us to pay money or wait 24hrs to play again. This isnt an arcade. This game has ads which play after every other level, so why are there also microtransactions?
At first we loved this game, but as we have progressed it has nothing to offer. We have amassed and spent over 50,000,000 gold and its pointless. We have all of the wands and all of the hats and armors. We are at level 111 in the endless dungeons and nothing changes. No matter how much attack power we add, the tougher enemies still take just as long to defeat, regardless of the wand Im using and the weaker ones blow over like dust bunnies. Like we said, it started out great, but it could offer more.
Very grindy after about ten levels. Adds every 3 levels (more if you want to play well). Bugs! (All our content deleted after playing for 30 minutes and we had to start back at level 5 despite being signed onto FB). Constantly feels like a cash grab but the power ups dont really feel worth it. This could be a nice gem, just sell it for 2.99 and maybe we would buy it, but the F2P model just feels insulting.
Once you hit level 50 its 100% pay to win.
You used to be able to get extra lives in the treasure boxes and we havent received one since the last update. Now we get to play this game even less. These developers are the worst kind of dark pattern-following leeches.
This game is the result of a greedy mentality. The game itself has a nice mechanic, however it requires you to wait 30 minutes to get a life, and even if you make a purchase to unlock some of the perks (es. Gain more coins per round), you are still stuck waiting to play more. The game asks you to pay $0.99 if you die and you want a quick resurrect, instead of making you just watch an ad for example. We made a purchase thinking we would get infinite lives with it, but nothing. We felt tricked. We are never trying anything that comes out from those developers in the future.
Dont listen to the haters. Everyone wants something for free these days. These developers dont make these games out of the kindness of their heart. They make them to make money. The fact that they let us play for free at all is amazing. The upgrades, the artwork, the control over the inventory you use and the change in uniform to reflect are all awesome. We just love the animation of collecting the loot. Just an awesomely fun time!
We love the new challenges added to Spellspire. However, there are frustrating glitches in which the game is not giving credit for accomplishments. For instance, a new challenge for palindromes did not give actual credit for palindromes submitted. Now does the game total credit for sp long words that begin with various letters (e.g., Spell 5 words beginning with the letter h). We love the challenges but of course need the glitches to be fixed before we continue playing. We tried giving feedback to the company, but Im unable to send a report.
First off, we love this game. The only problem is how when you buy the live refill, its not permanent. We would buy this game for $5 at the most with the dungeon and unlimited lives. Sincerely, us.
The core gameplay is pretty nice, and the art direction is fun. Unfortunately, you are limited to only short play sessions as when you run out of lives, you have to wait a long time or buy more for cash. We dont get devs that deliberately prevent you from playing their games. Can you please just add a buy button so we can actually enjoy it?
This game is creative. Its fun too. You have to spell words to attack your opponents. We remember it asking us not once, not twice, but three times before we could start a level saying something along the lines of Go visit the store are you sure you want to try this level without upgrading first. Very pushy. Got to play a few levels and then it said we had to wait 30 mins for another life. (1 life=1 Level). If you like being able to pull up a game whenever and play it, this might not be your prime choice. We can see why the developers would attempt this, but honestly Id prefer a game we can play as often as we want without paying for it.
You guys need to stop grabbing for money around every corner. We like this game, but its so annoying that we can only play 5 times before having to wait, and so many things are micro-purchase only.
Garbage clickbait cancer we thought this would be a real game not some game about spelling if we wanted a game about spelling we would have gotten Mario teaches typing 0/10 worst game.
Fun, but 99 cents everytime to just play the game when you want is ridiculous.
If they could charge you to breathe they would. This is one of the scummiest apps we’ve seen in a while. Its so untrustworthy that Id believe all the positive reviews were bogus. Bad game!
