Embark on an epic adventure through medieval times. Help Annabelle and Erik build and safeguard a new medieval village.
The game tasks players with completing match-3 levels to earn gold, which they then use to build and upgrade various medieval structures. The match-3 gameplay serves as the core focus, gradually increasing in difficulty across the game's over 100 levels.
Players swap adjacent tiles to create matches of 3 or more similar icons, clearing the tiles and allowing new ones to fall into place. The game features a variety of special tiles, such as ice, lava, and chained tiles, which require specific strategies to deal with. Players can also purchase power-ups like swords, axes, and lightning to help clear the board. Many levels introduce a move limit, which forces players to carefully plan their moves to clear the required objectives within the move limit. Reviewers praised this as a good way to balance the luck-based nature of match-3 gameplay, adding a puzzle-like element.
Completing match-3 levels earns players gold, which they can use to construct and upgrade buildings in the medieval village. This town-building mechanic provides a sense of progression and allows for customization of the settlement. While reviewers noted the town-building is fairly simple, they found it adds a satisfying layer to the core match-3 gameplay.
The game offers multiple difficulty settings, ranging from a more relaxed, casual experience to a challenging, timed mode. Reviewers appreciated this flexibility, as the difficulty scales well, rarely presenting sudden spikes in challenge. In terms of accessibility, the game provides a good tutorial and allows players to access it at any time. The visuals feature distinct tile shapes and colors, which can help players with color blindness. However, some reviewers noted a lack of additional accessibility options, such as UI scaling.
