What it says... a "Charming" Tale

If I had to describe this game in a single sentence, I would say, that this is the most beautiful inlay-type game, I have ever played. Yes, even compared to Mosaic: Tomb of Mystery. The graphics are astounding, every level is a detailed fairy-tale creature or object, which really "charmes" the player to solve another one, after finishing the current. There's also a good-written backstory, which is again like if the player has been dropped into a fairy tale: s/he is a traveller, who has to use magical crystals, to remove a mysterious curse from everyone on the land, with the help of different characters.
The gameplay itself is like every other inlay-game, you have to use differently shaped crystals to fill in an object. On later levels, you have to remove certain tiles twice or even three times, which makes the levels more difficult and longer, but still not more boring, rather more challenging. And to make it a bit more complex, different bonuses (time stop, remove pieces, change pieces into the tiniest one) help you along the way, and they can even be upgraded. The only downside I can think of, is that every level has the same set of shape-types, so you won't find the different sets here, like in many other games. But somehow it still doesn't become boring.
The game is not too short, but not too long either. It stops right before the levels would become repetitive or lacking creativity.
The music is like what you could imagine for a magical/fabulous game, and its not repetitive, so I would say, that it's just perfect for the game.
Overall... if you liked Mosaic, or you're a fan of these kind of shape-placing games, I would definitely recommend Charm Tale to you. And if you're not, than I would recommend you to try it, the game's atmosphere will more than likely carry you with it.
