Mystical is a different kind of puzzle game. Collect hundreds of items in five mystical places and combine them all in the given time. Manage your gold coins needed to purchase each item. Find multiple bonus items that will be of great help in the most critical moments. Once you have gained enough experience, you must go in search of artifacts and relics scattered across 26 unique mini-games put your visual and cognitive abilities to the test.
Start your medieval quest for knowledge without further delay! Visit a total of 5 places of power in order to collect hundreds of items scattered throughout the vast world of Mystical. Find the objects belonging to the same family and group them to further your knowledge of that type. From the village to the dungeon through the castle, the crypt and the temple, you must overcome the increasing difficulty and aquire the multiple bonuses that cross your path.
Your main quest is a quest of knowledge, of learning everything you can about all the items in the world. To assist you, you're going to need to find gold to buy every item you need in your quest.
The more items you create, the more you learn. Gradually you will earn the title of scholar. Then you will gain the sacred keys that give you access to the secret rooms of Mystical. Behind these doors, 16 magical artifacts and 10 enchanted relics await you. Knowledge, mental alertness, dexterity and visual acuity will be among the essentials to accomplish these new tests. Maybe one day you'll have all these treasures...
Overview
In Mystical, you must perform each trio and each twin within the time limit to win. A trio is a family of 3 items. A twin is the same item twice. Then for each trio, you have 3 twins.
When you play, each family of the current stage are shown at the top of the screen. You can scroll them with the right mouse button.
To perform a trio, you must buy each item within that trio by clicking on them in the main area. When they are in your bag slot at the bottom of the screen (15 items max), you can validate the combination by using a magnifying glass.
To perform a twin, you must buy the same item twice. When the twin is in your bag, you can validate it in the same way as trio.
You can put several combinations in your bag before validate them. You can buy the items out of the correct order but you will win more points if you buy them in the order shown.
When you do this, it is called a perfect trio. In the same way, to perform a perfect twin, buy the 3 twins in the correct order. The green lights under the families shown at the top of the screen will light if perfect trio and/or perfect twin matches are made for this family. I suggest you do them all...
Don't forget to pick up gold coins and magnifying glasses. Each item you put in your bag costs 1 gold coin and you will need magnifying glasses to validate the combinations in your bag.
You lose if you run out of time, if the central area is full or if your purchased item bag is full without any solutions.
Mystical has 5 levels of increasing difficulty. The levels are the village, the castle, the crypt, the temple and the dungeon. There are 10 stages for each level. The families of items are different and specific to each level.
For each stage, you can win a bronze, silver, or gold cup depending on your score. All stages can be restarted at will to help you improve your results (points and/or elapsed time). On the other hand, you must successfully complete a stage to access the next one. In the same way, to access the castle (level 2) you must completly finish the village (level 1) and so on.

Helps to keep the memory active
Doesn't explain itself very well, not interesting, not fun. A weak "puzzle" at best.
Annoying sounds. Luck of the drop. If you don't get enough coins to 'buy' tiles, no way to win the game.
Certainly not for everyone, but I really enjoy the atmosphere of the game. Takes a while to pick up on the rules, but does a decent job of adding new twists.
Being partly colourblind, some of the tiles do not have enough difference for me to tell which ones they are easily and there is no option (as far as I know) to adjust for this, so something to keep in mind.
This took me completely by surprise. It might take you a moment to work out whats going on but when you get the hang of it its _incredibly_ addictive as you try nail the various strategies to get past levels.
Its got neat art, decent tunes, solid presentation, a lot of levels to go through, and tosses in a whole bunch of different minigames to mix things up.
Its a really satisfying well built game that gets a lot more out of its simple concept than it has any right to.
It really does deserve a lot more attention.
did not like this game. wasn't like what i thought it would be. i want a refund
Great puzzle-game with different elements so it doesnt get boring too quick. Some of the mini-games are a little bit challenging and sometimes a little bit frustrating, but when you finally finish it, you are so happy and proud :)
For this low prize its much play-time to spend, and you need some time to get all achievments.
Maybe it tooks a while to get in the rules, but they are written in the menu, so all fine, something isnt really explained, or i didnt find it :P, but you get it quick.
For me now, still try to get all achievments, its a relaxing game.
Sorry for bad english, is my first review :)
A unique game of matching, kind of a mix between Concentration and Tetris. If it weren't by French developers it would be awesome!
Various tiles drop from the top of the screen and your job is to match them. There are different objects in the tiles -- books, shoes, pants, scrolls -- and different colors of the different objects -- red, blue, and green colored books, for example.
You need to collect pairs and trios within each family. For example, two red books make a pair, or a trio in the book family would be one of each color (red, blue, and yellow, for example).
Added to this is a time limit, which ticks down faster than you realize.
Also, you have to manage resources -- you have to make sure you have enough magnifying glasses or you won't be able to collect pairs or trios. Collect coins for your final score.
Each level becomes more difficult, collecting more pairs and trios as the game adds more objects -- bags, hats, flowers, envelopes. And each time that clock keeps ticking down.
As you progress into the different chapters of the game, another wrinkle is added -- for example, you have to knock gears off the background of the playing area.
It's a pretty simple game but is addictive. It's hard for me to play this time of game for a great amount of time as it gets my heart racing trying to match everything. I'm not sure if I'll ever be incredibly good at this type of game -- it requires a lot of visual-spatial reasoning and planning. But I do enjoy the game and even though I'll never be a superstar.
Well worth the money and time.
Not a bad game, takes sometime to figure out what you have to do though,
But once you know what your doing, its not bad at all.
8/10
EDIT: I have updated my review after my concerns were addressed by the dev! Mystical was a bit awkward for new players upon release, but the dev has made it much more fun!
Mystical is a fun, well presented and unique matching game were you have to match trios of items of different colours and pairs of items of the same colour. Each item you pick costs a coin, so it's important that you have a stash. The number of coins you can earn has been increased making the earlier levels much more fun than now than when the game was launched.
The only issue that I find now is that the English explanation of the rules is a little difficult to understand as the dev's native language is French, however it doesn't take too much effort to work out how to play. I may offer to help improve these though as it would be nice to see more people playing Mystical!
In summary, I will definitely be playing Mystical more now and say that's worth picking up.
dont buy this, its a crappy game with a really dumb puzzle idea. hard to understand at first, but once you get it you realalize its designed to prevent you from wining alot. your at the mercy of the ai dropping things you need, but instead will drop everything but what you need until the timer is almost ran out. i must of been the only sucker who bought this, so i warn everyone else to stay away.
