was searching for stuff to do on my phone and ended up finding this
on a face level it's such a simple and stupid game but somehow i can't stop playing,basicaly you have coins,swords,shields and potions icon... each turn you select one icon and try to make a line with as many icon as possible while trying to survive from the monsters represented by skull icons that pop once in a while
- matching coins let you buy upgrade
- matching shields let you reduce the damage from skulls up to your armor value,extra shields get convert into a special upgrade's bar
- matching potion heal you
- swords get matched together with skulls,the more swords you match the more damage you deal
to make thing more complicated killing skulls give you xp and after enough xp you level up and you get to pick between 2 spells or stat ups,the spells are all different and are usualy what set up your grand strategy,for example i once was able to pick up a spell that made it so that only coins spawned for only 1 turn and another which doubled the amount of coin you would get which made for a run where i quickly got tons of item upgrade's...
once in a while super skulls which fuck the board in a special manner also appear,there is a poison skull that turn potion into poisons... a brute skull which uses other skulls as ammo to kick your ass,there is a golden skull that appear and quickly leave the board but gives huge reward if killed a-la metal slime
each time you kill a super skull there is a chance that they will leave a trophy behind,collecting trophies will unlock new classes and a races,each class comes with their unique spell,a pre-selected pool of spells that can be fucked around once you score more trophies with that class,a class perk and a class penality... races are locked to a class until you get more trophies with that class and come with a race bonus and a mortal enemy which is a super skull that is nastier than the usual super skull... for example one of the super skull is a teleport skull that reset the board but the mage mortal enemy is a teleport skull that reset the board in a way that it features a lot of enemies but no sword to damage them,i actualy had this super skull hit me once but i had a spell that turned all coins on the board into swords which quickly turned around the situation and that really amazed me because it's the sort of thing that you would expect from a rogue game and not the sort of game where you just draw lines
if i had a complaint is that trophies seems pretty rare,i've played quite a few games already and only got one (which unlocked the mage)
