The term `legend' is massively overused these days to describe anything or anybody with a shelf life in excess of five minutes.

However, in gaming terms, this unfortunately now devalued praise is quite definitely applicable to Candy Crush Saga.

No one can deny that Candy Crush Saga is not a legend in the true sense of the word. For it was Candy Crush Saga that turned millions of people onto gaming for the first time.

Features

● Thousands of levels and puzzles, with fresh content added every two weeks

● Rewards via the Daily Booster Wheel

● Time-limited challenges to win extra boosters to help level up

● Wide variety of sugary challenges

If you have ever ventured onto Facebook, you will have seen Candy Crush Saga on a daily basis and received invitations to play.

The object of the sugar-obsessed game is to switch and match candies in a fast-paced puzzle adventure. There's a seemingly endless series of levels to master. Outsmart and outmove the puzzles, and you win deliciously colorful cascades and candy combos.

What makes Candy Crush Saga so addictive is that it takes quick thinking, smart moves, and planning to match three or more candies in a row. While this may sound simple, it becomes deceptively tricky the further you progress.

However, you can use boosters to outsmart the puzzles, but you need to use them wisely.

Once you bite into this game, you will soon need a daily sugar fix to keep the world at bay. And there's little prospect of you ever tiring of the game as there are literally thousands of levels to negotiate.

You can play solo or set up games with friends and find out who can top the scoreboard.

The other advantage of Candy Crush Saga is that it syncs across devices. So you can start playing on your phone and pick up the action later on a tablet, for example.

Apart from finding you need a daily sugar rush, Candy Crush Saga is not without flaws. The most commonly voiced complaint is about how difficult the more advanced levels become. Though very difficult to beat, they are not impossible. Players with high levels of skill and strategy should be able to make significant progress without having to make a single in-app purchase.
