A great match 6 game. However the city building part of the game seems to be pretty much an useless gimmick so I didn't even bother with it.2 found this helpful
Hexus gets boring relatively quickly.1 found this helpful
Egypt! =O Egyptians!
The primary puzzles in this game provide a refreshing twist to the whole matching genre, and it directly rewards strategy over mind-numbing repetition... sadly to an extent. The game itself lacks a proper identity gameplay-wise, as it will have you bouncing between a zynga-style city builder, a generic match 2 clone, group clearing, and the standard puzzle mode, with no way to allow you to expect what each level will be. I only have had an hour of playing, but so far, I see no way to replay previous levels other than to create a new save, which feels discouraging, this game should have released with a level select. Be warned, the written English in this is horrendous, either due to the writers having a poor grasp on the language, zero proofreading, or lazy translation. There also is A LOT of dialog in this game, and it easily takes up at least 25% of the play time... I do have further gripes, but these are at most nitpicks that aren't really that important.
Hexus is (kind of) a match-3 style game but with lots of added mechanics and elements. It's a little easy and but does get more complex as you play through. Tiles are hex-based, matching is non-linear, there are temples & lock blocks & other interesting elements, and different game modes. Also has city-building, a storyline, and lots of unlockable aesthetics. Interesting concept. Could use a touch more polish.
