Spellwood - Word Game Adventure App Reviews

Biggest rip off from such a big company name, makes you buy MORE levels (they should let you know this before initial purchase) does not work properly most of the time. Does not even deserve one star. After contacting company they are NO HELP and suggest taking it up with apple. What a joke, will never buy from this company again.

I wish I had read the reviews before purchasing this game. I paid $2 to basically sample the game. Then they want me to pay to move on. This should be disclosed to people BEFORE they buy. Its misleading and deceiving.

I paid $0.99 to play up level countryside and then it said download but I couldnt play. Not the first time facing problems. VERY FUSTRATING esp since you paid for it.

Really good. Its mini-scrabble that you can play on your own time. I play in between words with friends turns.

A lot of fun love the twist on the mi of RPGs/word game works well and is fun I hope for more updates

I would not see much reason to multiplayer with this. It isnt as universal or entertaining as words with friends. If you are a heavy duty word game spelling buff, this is a decent diversion. It just gets tedious after awhile.

Very addictive and fun. My kids love it. I havent experienced the issues others have complained about. And those that are complaining about $1.99 for such a wonderful game should consider the amount of time and enjoyment you gained from playing a game that is so well designed and fun.

I enjoyed playing this game and going on to different towers. I was disappointed that I had to pay to continue into the countryside though. And now Im done and there arent any more towers to complete. I have a feeling it will cost me when they come out with them. They should take a page from the makers of angry birds- they update and add levels for free regularly.

In app purchases really ruin games. especially when I already paid for it. Make it free with IAP, or include all levels with paid price.

Like scrabble only with great twists like spelling words backwards for double score, health and all sorts of other fun stuff!

This game is wonderful. I just finished it and now I really want more levels!!

Soooo disappointing! Spent the money to play an after beating 4 towers I have to pay more to continue to play?!?! WEAK!!! Dont buy this app....they steal your money!

Im having a lot of fun with this game. My daughter and I are having fun playing the duel game but we are having a lot of problems with it freezing up on us. Please fix this because its fun....

If you are tired of traditional Scrabble or Words with Friends, you might enjoy this word game with an RPG feel. I really enjoy the solo game. I havent played the versus part of the game, but see that it would be a lot of fun. While the gameplay would be good even without fun graphics, the drawing and animation are very fun and well done. Well worth the money I spent.

Add more levels beyond Countryside please!

The Scrabble portion of Spellwood is fine; there are the usual double- or triple-letter pieces on the board and special tiles you can use to help give you an edge. It does, however, seem far too coincidental that the AI almost always has the right tiles to create elaborate words, even on the easiest difficulty, whereas youll end up with nothing but consonants or vowels every now and then. I havent had a chance to test it, but prior to the update words like June and Jane werent recognized, so I sure hope they realize those are valid words, especially when the AI plays pronouns and various other questionable words as well. That being said, the RPG portion of the game is mediocre at best. After defeating the boss of each tower youre awarded a piece of equipment. First is a cap, second wand, and third and fourth are a bag. Problem is, its pointless because the bonuses these give are miniscule compared to the items the AI has equipped. The problem, then, is that unless you pay another $1 to unlock the countryside campaign, youre stuck with these 4 pieces of equipment. You get exp per opponent defeated, but only for the first time you win, leaving little incentive to re-play past levels. It seems you can only duel your friends through GameCenter and/or FaceBook, but not against random people. If thats the case, Scrabble and similar clone games would be better because they at least give you a wider range of people to play against. Additionally, in Spellwoods multiplayer, equipment comes into play, so people who are further along in the campaign mode (as well as having purchased the countryside campaign) will have an advantage against those who dont. Overall, its an okay game, but its main highlights seem to just be its cute and cartoony aesthetics and an attempt to incorporate RPG-elements. Other than that, the various Scrabble-focused games are a better experience.

Love it but please please add more levels beyond countryside - now there is nothing to do and kinda feels like money wasted :(

On later levels the bonuses and items really change the way you play, adding a lot of depth to the game. Love the character art!

I loved this game and played all the way through the first "land". Was excited to move on until I found out they charge .99 for the next round after already paying for the game. Very disappointing. Would only continue to play if they unlock the level for people who already paid for the app.

Cow, egg not playable words ??? Want to like this game, but it keeps doing stuff like this.
