Jedi mind tricks game

On top of this unusual match-three mechanic are the battles. The game is played against another Jedi, taking it in turns to move pieces on the board to build matching rows and columns of three, four, or five. By matching the lightsaber icons you attack your enemy, reducing his energy bar. The Force icons allow you to build up your own power levels, inflicting more damage during attacks. There are other elements also in play, like Thermal Detonators that blow a big chunk of icons off the board when activated, so there's plenty of strategy involved in figuring out the best way to take out your opponent - and it's not all about attacking.

Where the game struggles a bit is simply in its unusual operation. Combinations are quite easy to spot on a more traditional match-three game, but the repercussions of a move in Jedi Mind Tricks are so complex that any long term tactics are pretty much impossible to fathom. That doesn't detract from the more arcadey aspects of play, however, and although it doesn't draw upon its Star Wars license particularly heavily this game would work every bit as well even without the Lucasfilm branding that's actually no bad thing.

You might not be particularly interested in Star Wars games for the reasons listed at the beginning of this review but Jedi Mind Tricks definitely shouldn't be overlooked if that's the case. It's a game for the Bejeweled puzzle fans - not Star Wars fanatics - and one with a unique enough gameplay mechanic to get you hooked fast and hard.

Force horror enabled the Force user to cause multiple enemies to enter into a crazed state of panic that was more severe and more difficult to defend than the basic Force fear. In similarity, Force insanity also enabled the Force user to affect multiple enemies at once, although to an even greater range than Force horror.

As the most advanced form of Force fear, its effect was much more devastating, with the victim possibly descending into an utter state of frenzied madness and deranged craziness as their situation seemed to suddenly become utterly helpless.
