Hello my fellow Bats,
Today I will be reviewing a Free Casual Match-3 Game on the Platform Steam. It is called Clover Tale.
Clover Tale is a Free Casual Match-3 Adventure Game, Developed and Published by FIVE-BN GAMES. The Game is about Cute little Elf looking like Creatures called Nifflings. The Nifflings Valley is under attack and you have to the help them. The Game was released on the 15th of June 2016. Its native price is for free, however it does include in-game purchases.
Match-3 Games are simple way to relax and have fun, especially when waiting for something else. The Fun on Match-3 Games is, that you match gems to crate power-ups and clear more rows, quicker and quicker. The more you advance in the game, the more difficult it gets but also the more power ups you unlock.
This Game has beautiful graphics, is vibrant and does have very good animation, especially for a free Game. Since this Game is originally a Mobile Phone Game, I was quite surprised how well it was ported as I could run it without problems.
However I am afraid this is the only Positive Points I can give you. The Game itself is another Freemium Port that should be avoided on all Costs.
If you are wondering what a Freemium Game is, please let me explain:
Clover Tale does have on the top of the Screen an Energy Counter, once run out, you can either way wait 2 Minutes for 1 bit of Energy to appear or you just buy some Energy with Crystals. Have you run out of Crystals? don't worry you can get them randomly dropped for free by completing a level.
Now you may wonder. But wait a Minute? How can I complete a Level, if I don't have the energy nor do I have crystals to get the energy? Well in this Case you would have to wait 2 Minutes for 1 bit of energy and although you can retry a level, it is not guaranteed that a crystal will drop for you. This Means if you would not like to buy any Crystals for Real Money, you mainly sit there waiting rather then playing.
Personally I do enjoy good Casual games just to relax or when I am tired. But I also do believe that those Freemium Games need to stop. This includes Games such as Candy Crush, Farm Heros, Candy Crush Jelly, Candy Crush Soda and so on.
If you are into Match-3 Casual Games with a Good Story, look for one with a Base Price and no in-game purchase option. At the end of the day you either pay your base price and know what you are getting or you spend over 100€ on one Freemium Game and might never finish it.
This Game is not Vampire Approved as its just for scamming people to pay lots and lots of money.

A Freemium Game is a Video Game that requires you to pay real money for in-game / virtual goods. Meaning you cannot pass a certain level or sequence without paying real money.This is how you can spot a Freemium Game:
- Cute, Flashy and very good Animation which is to good to be true (for this check release date)
- includes in app purchases
- gets harder and harder
- forces you to use your free power-ups for tutorial purposes
