An extremely addictive title. I've played many word puzzle games but this is by far one of the best in recent years. Its simplicity is precisely what makes it so beguiling.

It might not have the high-power graphics and visualizations used for other word apps, but it doesn't need to. Either way, it's addicting.

It's a little sad not to see something overarching to work towards, like achievements or RPG elements, but the joy of simply exploring SpellTower's depth goes a long way toward easing that concern.

With no crutch system in place, you know without a doubt that you've earned every point you got, and that's a pretty good feeling.

A brainteaser that's nervy, humbling, and strangely energising. If you can handle the stress, SpellTower is magnificent.

One of the most elegant word games you're likely to find on the app store, with modes to test both those who like to think on their feet or prefer a game with little to no pressure.
