Easy to Learn But Hard to Master
Even if you’re new to playing a match 3 game, you will not have difficulties learning how to play this app. It’s basically connecting 3 or more same colored beans. What makes it challenging is that you have to match a specific number of certain beans on each stage, but you’re limited in the number of turns, so you have to be strategic.
Familiar with a Twist

It has some like of a role-playing touch as you have to fight enemies that you can take down by collecting the needed beans. The animation on top of the game window is fun and it makes the game more exciting.
The Ups

Although it has the same basic gameplay as other match 3 games, it comes with a nice twist giving it a fresh touch.
The Downs
There are parts in the English-sub of the background story that do not make that much sense, although it’s not really a big thing and it doesn’t affect the actual gameplay. However, there are annoying advertisements that pop-up after every stage. There is no option as of this moment to remove them.
The Verdict
Bean Crush may have a few drawbacks, but we’ll say it’s a fun and enjoyable game that you should try. It will a nice way to pass time, especially with its adorable graphics and addictive nature.
