Explore the kingdom of Silverdale in this innovative new match-3 adventure that pairs the classic matching with exploration and discovery, item collection, quests, town building, and more! Traverse HUGE environments, collect resources, overcome obstacles, and upgrade the town of Rivermoor.
The game sets itself apart by allowing players to explore large, interconnected environments. As you make matches on the game board, the camera shifts in the direction of your matches, enabling you to uncover hidden items, keys, and obstacles across the sprawling levels.
In addition to matching, you'll gather resources like wood, stone, and gold through your matches. These resources can then be used to upgrade and expand the town of Rivermoor, unlocking new power-ups and bonuses to aid your progress.
The game features quest-based objectives that task you with collecting specific items or completing certain tasks to help the townsfolk. These quests often require you to navigate the environments, plan your moves strategically to clear paths past rivers, cliffs, and overgrown vines.
You can acquire a variety of power-ups and abilities, such as the skill to jump to different areas of the map or fill a shield meter to overcome certain obstacles. These abilities add depth and flexibility to the matching gameplay, allowing you to approach challenges in multiple ways.
Runefall offers two distinct gameplay modes: Relaxed and Timed. The Relaxed mode encourages exploration and completing objectives at your own pace, while the Timed mode introduces a challenge element, requiring you to make matches quickly to progress.
Reviewers have lauded the game's innovative approach to the match-3 genre, highlighting the engaging exploration, resource collection, and town building mechanics. The ability to traverse large, detailed environments through matching has been a particular highlight, adding a sense of adventure and discovery to the classic puzzle gameplay.
