The game requires you to match three or more adjacent tiles with the same symbol in order to remove them from the board. This will not only cause new tiles to appear, but also unlock more of the board. Once the entire board has been revealed, a piece of the item you’re trying to construct will appear, and you must work it out of the bottom of the to collect it.

If you like matching games of any kind, this elegantly designed adventure will reel you in and not let you go. After you’ve completed the story you can try your hand at the challenging time and medal modes.

There’s very little not to like here. The only thing you should be worried about is too much of a challenge, as Azkend 2 can ramp up in difficulty pretty quickly.
