The Good: 120 Match 3 levels ...that is what you bought this game for, right?

The Bad: No new play variations or items, just your standard game mechanics with in-game only achievements. No bonus anything, not much replay value, and no cards either, so buy on sale.
It has a minimal story weaving through the levels, as Death has trapped you and a number of mythological characters in his maze. You must escape or doom yourself and others to eternity in Death's grip. (...or maybe you want to stay there chilling with Death. Hey, live and let live is what I say- no judging you and your emo ways on my part. xD )

The Ugly: Do you enjoy loading screens? Oh goody, 'cuz you get to experience at least 240+ of them! To be fair they do go fast but still, why?

Expertly made match-3 game with 30 x 4 handcrafted levels. Game plays fluid, not as stuttering as the store video may suggest.

the lost labyrinth is a standard fantasy match-3 with 120 levels and 3 game modes . timed , challenge with a move limit and relaxed with neither, plus an added layer of difficulty regarding the number of obstacles ( casual has fewer than expert ). there's a 3-star rating, doesn't do anything (can even continue with no stars), but it's based on the number of moves whether they're unlimited or not.

sophie is our protagonist this time, or rather her soul trapped in limbo. she even has a voice for a couple of very brief cutscenes. the way out is through a portal powered by 12 talismans that sophie has to grab from 12 individuals also trapped by death. she has to charge their respective runestones, which involves bringing runes to the bottom of the levels.

the rest is also a typical match-3 situation (it's a secrets of magic 2 reskin), explained in the tutorial and via in-game prompts. money upgrades the 6 power-ups after they get unlocked pretty early on, they destroy or shuffle stuff. weirdly enough, gold tiles aren't goals but they provide more cash. matching 4+ tiles creates other helpers, one only available in casual mode (uses the same animation and sfx from secrets of magic , pretty lazy). and there are obstacles, of course, including multiplying skulls and spreading vines . nonsense like this is always incredibly annoying in these games and here it was extremely so, even on the easiest settings.

the usual pleasant presentation, pretty good music (except the re-used level complete tune from secrets of magic again), and the same settings as in the dev's other games, also while playing a level. separate volumes, windowed mode, custom cursor with an annoying and mandatory sparkling effect this time, tutorial and hint toggles, some languages.

re-using assets is common practice, especially in the casual world of reskins, but it still dampened the experience somewhat. plus those skulls and vines. okay otherwise, nothing special, so it's skippable if you don't like more of the same, but if you do, it's a solid entry .

Typical Match 3 game with a minimalist story but who plays these for that, I play Witcher 3 for the story, not match 3 games.

Runs very well on an older PC (done that on purpose cause videos had some stuttering)

There are 12 "worlds" with 10 levels each. At the time of writing this, i had 20 levels done in 1.7h and i still have a few levels that are not at 3 Stars so for completionists, you got some hours for gameplay.

The price seems good for the amount of gameplay and i do recommend the game if you enjoy chilling playing casual games.

A very good match-3 game. I was impressed with the overall layout, artwork and especially the developing story line. A point worth noting is that the power-ups can be upgraded as one delves deeper into the game.

Great match-3 gameplay. Bonuses are earned by clearing gold tiles, not from endless ads or micro-transactions. I could take or leave the story, and the character art is not to my taste, but it's easy to ignore these and just focus on the primary action of the game.
