10 Soulless Video Games That Are Just Slot-Machines

5. Farm Heroes Saga

Now King is just having a laugh. At your expense too. By this point it seems that these covetous mercenaries will slap a match-three game mechanic on just about anything, now that they've got the candy, fruit and pets markets sewn up. One can only imagine what they have lined up next... possibly some sort of all-selling Sex Toys And Assault Rifles Saga puzzler. It's all just getting a little bit silly. Regardless, all three of King's major match-three money-vacuums are currently sitting pretty near the top of the Highest Grossing chart on the App Store. Which can only mean one thing: casual gamers like nothing more than to be vigorously mugged at every possible juncture. Even including Farm Heroes Saga on this list feels a little lazy - this is effectively the same game as Candy Crush, Pet Rescue Saga, Donut Toss-Off Megafun Rampage and whatever else is out there, trying to lick your face playfully with colourful explosions and faux-happiness while it simultaneously seduces you for your money. There will come a time when the world realises that this sort of thing is just candy-coated excrement and should be disregarded as such.
