GameZebo: Spellwood is set in a magical, wooded realm populated by all sorts of wonderful creatures, many of whom are kindly wizards. It's no surprise that it's also the home of the Spellwood Academy of Word Wizards, from which you, at the beginning of the game, are just about to graduate. But before you do, you'll have to defeat three of your fellow students plus the Headmaster himself, a wise old owl who does his best to teach you all you'll need to know before you set out on your journey.
GodisaGeek: This week we’re taking a look at Redrum: Dead Diary from Anarchy Enterprises, NARR8 from NARR8 Limited, Spellwood: Word Game Adventure from Three Ring Design and The Adorables from Thumbstar Games."
Triverse writes, "Spellwood also doesn’t follow the lead of other titles in the word game area. Here, tiles are usually removed after the next move so the board is constantly being changed, strategies updated and reworked and even scrapped because letters you were depending on are now gone from the board. This is great as it keeps the game flowing and moving forward rather than becoming a search for an open tile to place that last “Z” tile or “X” one to finish your pile. That is the key here though, if you run out of tiles and your opponent is still alive, or has tiles, then you lose so spell big words and drop some major pain on your opponent as quickly as possible."
AR: Spellwood is a puzzle strategy game with a twist. It’s very similar to classic board games like Scrabble, but it makes it more interactive with its RPG style. Here, brains (and an expansive vocabulary) are your best weapon to destroy the enemy.
The game has Adventure mode, which is for a single player, and Duel Friends, where you can play with Facebook friends.
