Review:

Have a great fun with new exciting match 3 game from Sandlot Games – Glyph 2! The original Glyph from a simple match 3 game with nice graphics turned into an addicting mix of collapse "bursting elements" style and charming magic of matching games with more involved story and more sophisticated game play.

Darkness began to fall upon the distant world of Kuros. The balance between the Light and Shadow was gone. Use 5 elemental forces of Wood, Fire, Water, Metal and Aether, free their mysterious powers and restore the lost balance between the Light and Shadow. Help Exile unravel the ancient Glyph Energy and defeat the dangerous shadow elements that are destroying once beautiful planet.

Glyph 2 offers 5 distinct elemental worlds and 2 unique game modes - Quest Mode, based on a story with 125 levels of match 3 puzzle fun, and Action Mode, a captivating adventure with 130 levels of challenging puzzles. You are provided with 7 forceful mouse gestures to release power-ups and gather astral energy which you will need to shape the world. Rebuild the ancient structures and help the Exile fulfill her destiny – save magic land Kuros from darkness.

You will enjoy a number of various power-ups, including seven mouse Gestures. Make matches, earn necessary amount of energy and then you will be able to unleash a Gesture by tracing its shape with your mouse. To cast a Row Gesture, for example, you must drag the mouse horizontally across the screen and then click on the row of tiles you wish to destroy. Paint Gesture gives all stones on the board a single color, a Sort Gesture groups stones by color, so each Gesture has its own function.

Every five levels you’ll play a mini-game, for this you should click on Altar of Creation. There are also a lot of optional mini-tasks like matching 50 red stones in 1 minute and making a match of 30 stones or more. Successfully completed mini-tasks give you bonus points like clearing a certain number of one color tiles or using a certain number of specials, and a great gesture-based sub game between levels.

Audio and visual effects in Glyph 2 are really fantastic. Level by level you are rewarded with exciting flashes of light, rich and colorful levels, visual and sound effects. Special “light and dark” mechanic deserves special mention. Every click dips you in epic atmosphere of the game, where wrapped by beautiful art and wonderful special effects, you feel yourself a part of this mysterious world.

Glyph 2 is a fantastic sequel with 255 new match 3 levels. I can tell for sure that it is a worthy Glyth sequel – improved, polished and challenging.
