Runes of Avalon 2

In this video I take a look at Runes of Avalon 2, a match three with a difference. In this title instead of the gems falling from the top like most match 3's they are generated as shapes you need to place like TETRIS only you can move them anywhere with your mouse to try and form matches with shapes and colours. Pretty straight forward once you see it in action. Like most match 3's it still has powerups and spells but as per the rest of the game it has it's own unique take on them. It's a nice change and it all works quite well unlike some attempts at different match 3 styles. The game play is both fun and can pack a punch, especially in some of the more advanced levels with timed mode where you need to use powerups or you won't win. Take a look. Watch the video to see what the game is like... https://youtu.be/apMAl7VrjcM Check'n Games Video Curation, providing you with as many Let's Play's as we can. Thanks for watching.

Quick Play and Gallery does not function, mixed up picture puzzle is buggy, when you complete a colour, it gets bugged and makes annoying noise. Half-baked port that is full of bugs.

Runes of Avalon 2 is a free mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as a cash grab. This is badly ported mobile match-3 game where you place groups of blocks and rotate them to form groups of 3 or more matching colours. That's all there is to it. It's a bad mobile port, with locked controls and resolution, and there's only 4:3 aspect ratio despite the 2021 release date, so presumably this is just an old early iPad game that they dug up as part of their attempt to fleece PC gamers. Once more we see greedy mobile devs trying to scam PC gamers. They want $6 USD for this free mobile app! Mobile devs must learn PC gamers are not here to be gouged, and can't be expected to pay a premium for a free mobile app just because it's been lazily dumped on Steam. This is unacceptable disrespect for PC gamers. I didn't spend thousands on a gaming PC so I could pretend it's an iPhone.

I really wanted to give this game a thumbs up, but it is all but totally broken. It has a main menu with several choices on it, but only "Quest" and "Quit" work. Quick Play and Gallery do not function. Part of the game is a mixed up puzzle, which when you solve it it becomes the new background for the puzzle - but you NEVER SEE IT! It disappears the instant you solve it and it is covered by every puzzle you play. I assume Gallery is supposed to show you the completed pictures... who knows? The puzzles in the quest are very entertaining, presenting a real challenge to the player, with nice graphics, and some are very difficult to solve. You can turn on the game's music, a nice selection of instrumentals. I've played almost to the end, and I admit I'll probably play through again sometime, but I feel cheated out of the entire rest of the game - if it even exists at all - and would like to hear from the developers why they left it so deeply unfinished!
