I have to admit I got fond of Match-3 games with turn-based combat after playing Mirror a while ago, so there was no way I wouldn't give Witch of Mystery Tower a chance.
The gameplay is solid, but I expected a bit more of it. It misses some mechanics that could have made it more enjoyable, such as being able to upgrade your stats or unlock skills. Moreover, there's a big focus on luck instead of skill since making a lot of combos is pretty much the only way to win (the devs made sure you wouldn't be screwed too hard by a bad move, though).
Story-wise, there's not much to say about it since it's fairly basic, but it works well as an excuse plot. It gives the game a bit more depth, making it more than just a bunch of consecutive matches you have to win to unlock the lewds. There's also a plot twist in the second half of the game, but it's far from impactful.
Artistically, the game was better than I expected because the characters are gorgeous. The sex scenes are also very well done, though they aren't interactive. Instead, they are separated into multiple parts, and you have to click on the left or right arrows to continue or go back. As for the soundtrack, it's great. It doesn't have many songs, but they are all nice to listen to and enhance the scenes they play in.
Verdict: Fine
To sum it up, Witch of Mystery Tower may not be the best match-3 game ever made, plus it's too short for its price, but get it if you find it on a big sale. Despite its issues, it's a fun game that will keep you entertained whenever you need to kill some time.
