4 Elements II vs WordCrafting: A Tower of Words
4 Elements II
4 Elements II places the entire magical kingdom under a shroud of darkness and despair once again due to a careless charm which had stripped the four fairies of the elements of their magic power. Assume the role of the hero and help set the fairies of earth, air, fire and water free, and restore the book of magic in this exciting sequel!The game features the same fun and challenging match-3 gameplay spread across 64 unique levels in addition to a wider variety of brain-teasers that are hardly repeated throughout the game. Players also have the option to choose between a timed or untimed mode.
4 Elements II is definitely a much better game than its original, which is what a sequel is supposed to be. The match-3 games are as engaging as ever and of course, there are plenty of fun mini-games on the side to help keep the game fresh and interesting.
WordCrafting: A Tower of Words
WordCrafting: A Tower of Words is a very intriguing and unique, fantasy-themed word puzzle game that combines the strategy and physics needed in tower-building games with the fun of unscrambling the letters in a word and making crossword puzzles. It may not be the easiest game to get into, but once you get how it works, you will quickly realize how refreshingly entertaining it is.The game offers 3 different game modes, which will be unlocked as you complete the previous mode. The game starts you off with the easiest MishMash mode, which basically consists of tower-building and unscrambling letters, and then move you on to the Classic mode that will require you to form your own words as you build your towers. Lastly, you'll get to the Endless mode whereby you will attempt to build the highest tower you can and see how well you rank among your friends on the leaderboard. There is also a Word of the Day mini-game to play, and some collectibles that you can collect by opening treasure chests.
Once in a while, I will stumble on a very much underrated word game that’s so unique, intriguing, refreshing, and challenging that it completely blows my mind (in a good way), and I’ve got to admit – WordCrafting: A Tower of Words is, without a doubt, one of these incredibly rare games. The number of new words you can learn through the MishMash mode of this game is simply astounding as well.
Granted that not many wordies may enjoy a game as different as this one, especially since the game seems to focus more on building solid structures rather than testing your vocabulary (at least in the MishMash mode), WordCrafting is definitely a game that wordies simply must try.
