Tactical puzzle solving. Swap Sword is a tactical roguelike match-three RPG. Match your way through hordes of foes and dispatch them by lining them up, or kill them with your sword. Match the keys to get to the exit and make sure to collect mp diamonds and shields to survive longer.
Get upgrades. Once you reach the door to the next stage, you're awarded with three randomly generated upgrades, but you can only have one, so choose wisely.
Death comes. Clear the stage before death arrives. Once death is on the stage, things get much more difficult, and the end is near.
