Commenting here so I can read the article later, but I have to say I have NEVER in all my years of gaming, which reachs back to the Atari days, seen a game so manipulative as Royal Match.
This game seriously scares me in how it cleverly tries to manipulate the player. The graphics are stunning - cuties and bright and everything is whizzing around and things are flying across the screen. The frowny face of the king when you fail, the tease of just one more game. I play it once in a while and kind of step back and look at this as a master class in being able to manipulate users to do your bidding. I absolutely hate the game ans yet am drawn to it time and again.
To be clear,I haven’t and I never will spend a dime on a game like this, but I’m still amazed by the tactics of this game.
