PvP and match-2 game put together | First Impressions - Spiritle
4K View2023-06-30Spiritle features a story premise that revolves around spirits and the 4 elements: Nature, Earth, Water and Fire, and shines in its art style, featuring a charming and cartoonish paint-like aesthetic. The characters and overall visual design are appealing, however, beyond the introduction story, the lore is practically non-existent, as it is actually a competitive Match-2 game with a focus on PvP battles. The game is free to play, with only cosmetics as in-app purchases.
Gameplay wise, it is a match-two game where you need to unravel the tiles nature (its biome, e.g. volcano, swamplands, grasslands, etc) and match the same tiles to be able to attack. The premise of moving around the tiles and finding a matching biome is a bit weird at first, especially after the cute story intro they set up for the game, but it gets better as you play.
All the tiles are initially hidden, and players must gradually uncover them with two moves each turn. Selecting and moving to a tile reveals its nature to all players, but it becomes hidden again once their turn ends, making memorization important. There is a temporary short log to view the history of these selections, aiding players to some extent, although entries disappear as more are added.
Successful attacks give players two more moves, which allows them to chain two attacks together as long as they can match more tiles. If the tiles run out and the matches are still ongoing, they just reset with a new and bigger layout. The match continues until there is one player or team left standing.

Spiritle - A Quick Game Review!
Spiritle is a 4 players turn-based strategic battle digital board game. Honestly, I found this game to be very unique in terms of gameplay mechanics, as I had never played a game like this before. And seriously, this game caught my interest right away. This is a PVP game that you will be playing with other players in a 2V2 or 1v1v1v1 match mode. Each character has their own unique abilities and you will need to strategize every movement and skill usage to triumph the battle. This free to play board game definitely will take the ultimate test of your memory recall ability.

A slow-paced but relaxing board game elevated by beautiful visuals - Spiritle Quick Review
PLAY IT OR SKIP IT?
Despite Spiritle being a free-to-play game, I’m going to say pass on this one. The artwork is lovely and the simple rules allow for some neat little tweaks for each character, but the pacing is so slow that I found myself getting frustrated much more than I was having fun. At its core, Spiritle is about finding matching tiles on a randomly generated gameboard while using those matches to power attacks on other players, ultimately being the last player standing. I often had to wait as three other players looked for matches, made their attacks, and fussed over their decisions, just so I could take a stab at matching a pair of tiles—only to guess incorrectly and have to wait my turn again. It’s a bit of a drag.
