Age of Heroes: The Beginning

The age of heroes and brave knights passed many years ago, but that doesn’t mean we are any less honorable or helpful with each other. Modern heroes may not have swords and shiny armors, but they can do a lot more for their fellow humans. On the other hand, it’s always inspiring to hear stories about adventurers who faced great perils in order to save their friends.

Age of Heroes: The Beginning is a match-three game with colorful graphics and classic gameplay mechanics, in which your goal is to help the poor peasants of a village regain their lives and defeat a villain. In spite of the awe-inspiring story, the actual mechanics are more or less the same as in most match-3 games out there, except of course for a few minor differences.

The first one of these is the fact that you get to play with multiple characters, and each character has a special ability that comes in handy every now and again. Your heroes also gain new skills along the way, which helps a lot whenever you get stuck. Speaking of which, each level challenges you to match a certain number of a particular gem, or get various items to the bottom of the board.

Things get tougher along the way, since you have to solve ever more specific and complex tasks. On the other hand, you can also switch between different game modes, depending on whether you want to deal with a limited number of moves or you want the freedom to play until you get it right. The relaxed mode can be more therapeutic, but the higher difficulty level can make it tougher to get bored.

As for the graphics, they are about as colorful and enjoyable as you can find in the genre, which is not saying much. On the other hand, they do not matter most of the time, and they are colorful enough to be alright in this case. There’s also music playing in the background while you are playing, so that helps with the atmosphere as well.

In the end, Age of Heroes: The Beginning uses the classic formula to provide players with an enjoyable and fun experience. Moreover, the different heroes make things even better, given the fact that your strategy changes depending on whom you play with.
