Victoria

Victoria is a match 3 game with a new twist and had it beeen balanced properly it could very well have turned out as a new classic in the genre but apparently that is not in the cards to ever actually happen. First of all the game revolves around the woman Victoria who after her husband and kid was killed by a poltergheist a few years back is now travelling across USA in her hunt for revenge on evil supernatural creatures. The game plays as a normal match 3 game where players needs to line up matching tiles in a setting of fighting off ghouls, vampires etc. The game has a really nice look to it and is a far darker approach than the ordinary match 3 games that generally are more sweet and bright and colorfull. The real twist of the the game though is if you doesnt fend of the evils comming at you in time you will instead get "rewarded" with jump scares thrown at you out of the blue so that pretty much forces the player to take a more speedy and aggresive approach than in an usual match 3 game. The game has 100 levels with 10 enemies distributed over 10 sets of ten games and this is where the game starts to go downspiralling because its horribly balanced because compared to the us…

Absolute crap! I've played a LOT of these Match-3 games You've only got 3 lives on this one, fail 3 times, and you have to start the whole game over. Both games I played I was dead by level 8 and hadn't gained a single Steam achievement Powerups don't charge Only 5 different tiles (by Level 8 at least)

Victoria is a horror-themed match-3 puzzle adventure that lets you join Victoria Miller, a hunter of supernatural beings with a tragic backstory, on her quest to hunt down the poltergeist that has [spoiler]slain her entire family[/spoiler] and devastated her life. [h1]Storyline[/h1] After knowing her backstory, I can't help but to sympathize with her plight and understand her need for vengeance - I'll probably do the same thing too. Spoilers: [spoiler]Victoria Miller had a happy family with her husband and 2 children but they must have unknowingly moved into a haunted house where a poltergeist resided. It ended up killing her husband and her kids, essentially annihilating her entire family in a single night.[/spoiler] [spoiler]Naturally, she will want revenge for what the poltergeist had done. She took up the craft of ghost-hunting and travels across the US in search of the poltergeist... while slaying any and all supernatural beings along the way.[/spoiler] [h1]Gameplay[/h1] Victoria has some pretty basic match-3 gameplay that's time-based rather than moves-restricted, but this doesn't mean that the game's not at all challenging. It's quite the opposite in fact. I've spent ar…

Nice twist on typical match 3's. Sets a very aggressive pace for the search. "extra" tools are not particularly helpful, but they provide some variety and purpose to the search for matches.

Wow, what a different kind of match 3 game. The music and sound effects kept my heart beating fast in order to complete the level and avoid the jump scares. Awesome! If you are looking for something challenging in a match 3 game the steam sale is certainly the time to do it. Can't wait to play more!
