BigFishGames presents Alchemist’s Apprentice, an exclusive combination game with primarily match 3 puzzles and a little hidden object hunting. You play as a student of the High School of Magical Arts, whose uncle invites him to govern his province for the time of his absence. But the province doesn’t thrive, so your task will be to make it prosper.

The basic gameplay is match 3 broken up with a few hidden object scenes. In most levels you have tokens of different shapes and colors to be matched, a time limit and some tasks. Most of the tasks are for collecting a certain number of gold coins, that is matching tokens with gold coins. For charging the bonuses you will also need to collect certain gems by matching them. In the hidden object scenes you should search for or scrolls, shields and swords.

The most attractive part is graphics. It is really pretty! Colorful artwork, great visuals, nice animations and fairy atmosphere make the game process unforgettable. But sadly, this can’t be said about game story. In general, the game has beautiful cover and shallow content. We think, it may appeal to children or match3 fans.
