Persha and the Magic Labyrinth -Arabian Nyaights-

As a pure puzzle game with match 3 elements - it's not enjoyable at all. Rather quite frustrating. There are a lot of situations when YOU HAVE TO take damage without the ability to escape it. And since dying strips all the gold you've collected - it ruins your run completely. Some missions that you can complete in every level sometimes can't be completed, because enemies move around and they can blow themselves up. And since some of the enemies don't re-appear during that level - you lose a potentially valuable ability for the rest of your run. Some enemies can literally damage you while they are several tiles from you... And you mostly have like 3-4 HP max for the whole run with very limited and sometimes very situational healing... It takes a lot of luck not to die before you beat the boss. Anyway. This game and its difficulty is more frustrating than fun. It's not hard, just annoying. The constant squeling of your character can give you headaches. The sound can't be lowered, because there is no such option at all... Modern gaming ffs.

Persha and the Magic Labyrinthe is really just candy crush on roids. It might look like a simple match 3 game but in reality, there is so much more to it, you have to consider what the different monsters do and move accordingly. You can also obtain magic cats with abilities by doing tasks which adds so much more flavour to the game. There is some element of RNG but I still had so much fun regardless. Underrated game, I definitely enjoyed this piece.

The game is quite fun and charming but personally I can't recommend a port of a game without Steam Cloud online save support or basic options such as a volume slider or the ability to change resolution. If that doesn't bother you and you like match-3 puzzle games, go ahead and totally buy it (it's on the Switch and PS5 too, where this negatives doesn't exist). Plays very well on Steam deck.

Changes the 3-match with a refreshing mechanics and addictive gameplay. Witches are well renowned for carrying a cat with them at all times. They were magical and mischievous, but the majority of them vanished after people began hunting witches. However, some of them survived and formed a group led by a black cat named Rock. While most people dismissed them as harmless, one girl felt they needed to be stopped. Although the game appears to be merely another match-3 puzzle, it contains several interesting elements. The goal is to ascend the tower by solving ten puzzles. Every puzzle has the same goal. First, you need to match the needed amount of keys to summon the black cat, and then move the main character across the grid to catch it. The appearance of the cat activates the move limit, which means you must get to the cat before it reaches zero. Your character can only move one tile at a time, but she can go anywhere and take as long as needed to decide the next move. You can also move any tile on the grid you wish, as long as the swap results in a match of three or more tiles in a vertical or horizontal line. This removes them from the grid and drops the remaining tiles, occasi…

Persha and the Magic Labyrinth -Arabian Nyaights- is a colorful puzzle RPG that builds an adventure around familiar match-three mechanics while introducing movement, exploration, enemies, and collectible companions. Developed and published by BeXide Inc., it follows Persha as she enters a mysterious tower in pursuit of her rival, Rock. Its playful Arabian fantasy theme, cheerful artwork, and cat-centered personality immediately establish a lighthearted tone, but beneath the cute presentation is a puzzle system that asks players to think about positioning as well as conventional tile combinations. The basic objective is easy to understand. Players clear groups by matching three identical pieces vertically or horizontally, but Persha herself is physically present on the puzzle board. She can move in four directions, and her position influences how pieces can be cleared. This makes movement an important part of solving each stage rather than simply an animated representation of the player's actions. Successful play involves studying the board, deciding where Persha needs to go, and creating useful matches while navigating whatever obstacles or enemies are present. This additional mo…
