ReignMaker

ReignMaker is a match 3 game at its core, but it combines multiple genres that offers players a much more complete experience.

You would think that if you’ve seen one match 3 game you’ve seen them all, and that would be a fair assessment for most of the titles in this genre. There are a few though that manage to surpass the expectations of the users and ReignMaker is one of them.

ReignMaker is not your typical match 3, and that is obvious from the start. The developers want to give players a unique experience, and they managed to pull that off, although it’s not without its flaws. Even so, the game has enough worthy points for us to overlook any kind of issues.

The developers from Frogdice say that this is city building political strategy game, and that would be a very accurate description. Players only use the match 3 system when they have to defend the city.

The goal of the game is to improve the city and to simply become the best. It’s more difficult than you can imagine, but it’s accessible even to casual players.

You start by managing a small city and by raising buildings that will eventually give you the edge in battle. This is the most important aspect of the game. You control the moves on a small board and the enemies attack from the right side. You need to match the pieces in the right places in order to hit them.

The first battles will be easy, but as you advance through the story and the world, you will have to become a master at matching.

Unlike other similar games, ReignMaker uses a 3D engine, which may not be the best choice. It’s not even pretty, and it looks bad, even with the settings on high quality. Fortunately enough, the gameplay is hectic enough so that you stop notice the quality of the graphics after a while.

ReignMaker is one of the most interesting match 3 games out there, and it’s definitely worth a try. The trial for the game lasts only 60 minutes.
