Solitaire Blocks: Royal Rescue

Even if there are many variations of Solitaire out there, it’s difficult to deny that most of them feel the same, and the mechanics do not differ all that much either. In essence, it’s all about how the cards are placed on the board, which doesn’t make too much of a difference most of the time. However, things are not the same when it comes to Solitaire puzzle games, which are a rather new invention.

Solitaire Blocks: Royal Rescue is a Solitaire puzzle game with RPG and adventure elements, in which you have to battle monsters and make your character stronger over the course of the story. There are all sorts of mini-games that enrich the experience as well, even if most of them are luck-based and they require you to spin a wheel in order to decide the outcome.

To begin with, there’s a simple story running its course in the background, and it revolves around a price as he returns from his training to a devastated home. Naturally, he starts fighting to free his kingdom and save his family, but there are very strong foes ahead. Hence, he needs to get stronger as well, but better weapons and armors can help too.

The gameplay mechanics during the Solitaire phases of the game are very simple, since you basically have to click on the cards that are +1 or -1 the value of the last one. By doing so you are actually bringing down stone columns one tile at a time, and at the top of each column there is either a reward or an enemy you have to fight. Speaking of which, the battles are turn-based, but they are also controlled by luck instead of skill.

You can improve your chances of success by acquiring better weapons and more resilient armor, on the other hand, so your rolls can deal a lot more damage with the proper gear. Lastly, there’s no denying that the game looks rather dated, given the pixelated artwork and the rudimentary interface, but that’s not a huge issue, and it certainly doesn’t get in the way of your fun.

Solitaire Blocks: Royal Rescue is actually a lot more fun that most Solitaire puzzle games out there, mainly thanks to all the other elements added to the core gameplay. Hence, it’s always fun to fight monsters and get epic loot, even if the battles tend to get rather repetitive after a point. NOTE: This is a downloader for the game.
