Hero Emblems II
I finished Hero Emblems II last week.
It's a phenomenal game. The reviews are "mixed" on Steam, for reasons I cannot fathom. It's a Match-3 game that's actually crunchy, with complex and satisfying combat. Every aspect of the combat system must be used--buffs, meals, equipment, spells--to win the more difficult battles, and some of them are quite difficult.
It doesn't feel cheap, though. It always feels thoroughly fair.
This is so much better than the original Puzzle Quest (which many of us still remember fondly) that I can't believe it isn't getting more attention. Plus, it looks like two people designed and developed the game, which is incredible.
50+ hours of consistent entertainment for $11.99. Steam link: Hero Emblems II.
