A kingdom’s peace has been shattered, and the board is your battlefield. In Legend of Runes, the classic match-3 puzzle becomes a strategic frontline. While you strategically clear colored runes from the grid, your hero party engages in real-time combat against waves of enemies at the top of the screen. This dual-layer gameplay demands tactical thinking, requiring you to manage both puzzle-solving efficiency and the survival of your team as you journey across exotic islands to restore order.
The game operates on an intuitive match-3 system where you swap adjacent runes to create rows or columns of three or more identical stones. Each successful match clears those runes from the board and generates energy for your heroes’ attacks and abilities in the combat arena. The puzzle boards are progressively cleared to complete stages, but attention must remain divided, as enemy forces continuously assault your party. This creates a dynamic loop where puzzle speed directly influences combat performance.
Beyond basic matching, progression is driven by a collectible hero system. You acquire and deploy various character cards, each possessing unique active and passive skills. These skills can be combined to create powerful synergistic effects during battle. As you advance, you encounter stronger enemy types and more complex puzzle boards with obstacles, requiring upgraded heroes and smarter skill combinations to overcome.
Master the puzzle, command your heroes, and reclaim the kingdom. Start your strategic adventure and claim your advantage now.
