The Trials of Olympus II: Wrath of the Gods

The Greek mythology is probably the most recognizable in the world, thanks to the fact that it was popularized with the help of many books, movies and video games. Thus, most people are aware of fictional characters like Hercules, Zeus or Artemis, as well as some of the legends around these names. Obviously, some stories are more exciting, and you can always make up your own if you want to.

The Trials of Olympus II: Wrath of the Gods is a match-three game featuring an interesting story about Greek gods and romance, in which you have to clear gems from the board as quickly as possible and score all sorts of bonuses along the way. You can also use the currency to build structures in your base and assault Ares’ headquarters at the end of the game.

Speaking of which, the story puts you in the role of Angelo, who gets to marry his lovely Amara after the events from the first game. Their happiness is rather short-lived, on the other hand, because Ares decides to intervene in their lives by kidnapping Amara. Naturally, you must go on a mission to rescue her and deal with the terrible god of war.

Each level features a different challenge, and it’s up to you to figure out how to break blocked gems, deal with harsh time limits, or just find a way to achieve your goals without running out of legal moves. You can also try the relaxed mode in order to avoid time limits, but all the other hardships are still there, making the experience only slightly less challenging.

As for the graphics, it’s quite obvious that this is a budget game, but it certainly doesn’t look bad when it comes to the artwork. In fact, the backgrounds are quite engaging sometimes, especially if they feature colorful landscapes or huge monsters. You can also enjoy a calming soundtrack and a fun collection of sound effects to go along with everything else.

All things considered, The Trials of Olympus II: Wrath of the Gods is a great match-three game, regardless of whether you are a fan of the genre or not. The story is engaging as well, making each level feel more important than it actually is.
