The game looks and sounds amazing! I really like the graphics. The match-3 gameplay is also really good. As you continue on the different maps, it starts to get more challenging. The addition of extra things like mana wells and traps adds quite a lot to the strategy.
Unfortunately, I have to agree with many people here regarding the IAP. Its very off putting when the very first ability you unlock at level 2, its something that costs $8. The weapon and item crafting you get later on is good, and you only need mana (acquired through playing) to use. But those silly unlocks that cost money should at the very least by purchasable with the premium currency (crystals). As it stands, I will not be purchasing any of those items.
The devs have posted that theyll be making adjustments to the crystal drop rate, which is nice to hear. Im definitely sticking around to see where the devs go with the game, as Im really enjoying it (even with no IAP purchases).
