The Adventures of Perseus is a match 3 game that has the story of the Adventures of Perseus (think Clash of the Titans storyline) intertwined through all the match three boards that are set in areas all over the Mediterranean. As you play you will get help from other goods once you have completed certain boards, this help comes in the forms of different ways to help you clear the board, once you have collected the necessary tokens that "fill" up the corresponding symbol for the power.

When you start playing a board, there will be a sign at the top of the screen telling you what kind of matches you need to make to clear the board you will either be swapping to make matches or "drawing a chain" or clicking on blocks to clear the board. There are colored tiles under the pieces that you have to clear to finish a board. Sometimes you have to also match special pieces to unlock a box or draw plans for buildings. These plans are used for your "city" that you build as you make your way through the game.

There are also three levels of play Easy, which has no timer, medium which has a timer and a longer interval in between hints and finally a hard level which has a shorter timer to finish the board and a even longer interval between hint usage. There are also some other small puzzles that are interspersed through out the game, like HOG's, spot the differences and actual puzzles. The music and graphics were ok, being a bit of an older game the graphics are starting to look dated.

I will give this game a 6 out of 10 for a match 3 game, it was ok, for a little diversion.

The Adventures of Perseus (Match-3)

Take swap-to-match, click-on-a-group and chain-to-match gaming mechanics, add a dash of scattered types of puzzles and a pinch of hidden object scenes, and you have the Match-3 buffet of The Adventures of Perseus.

There are separate sliders for music and sound, as well as your choice of Easy, Normal or Hard difficulty. I find that these titles are better played non-timed for two reasons: 1. There are no achievements, nor score bonus for playing timed, and 2. The bluish-iron plates can be hard to spot, and running out of time because I can't spot the tile I need to clear is not my idea of fun! ;D

The goal of each match-3 level is to clear all of the gold and iron tiles on the screen to proceed. Collect various Gods' golden trinkets to fill their meters and call forth their powers to help you clear the board. These items don't have to be matched - just click on them when you spot them~!

Match 5 or more pieces to gain a golden bomb in the playing area. You can swap this bomb with any other piece on the board, meaning that you can detonate it wherever you wish!

Along the way you will have to collect quills or keys to unlock areas of the playing field, netting you blueprints for your growing city or items to help you with your journey.

Unlike the 2nd game in the series, Jason and the Argonauts, there are no choices for building-style. New areas will automatically be built when you find the plans.

The story of Perseus was entertaining, but skippable if you prefer. The narrator's voice was perfect for the drama of this story from Greek Mythology. I absolutely loved the way they incorporated Medusa into the gameplay on this one!

The Adventures of Perseus is a solid match-3 game, with different styles to keep things interesting, and the occasional puzzle or hidden object scene to go with the story. Recommended!

Game crashes constantly under windows 10. What I was able to play, it would be a good game. Not worth the money, no response from the devs to problems.

It turns out that the game can not run full screen, and it defaults to full screen mode. You have to start the game go into options disable full screen mode and exit the program. After that it will play correctly in a window.

The Adventures of Perseus is a match 3 game from HH-games newly released to Steam. Like most of their products it's great quality despite being an older re-release. It's a tale of the Greek gods and not only has match three game play but various other game play modes like jigsaw, spot the difference, and variations on the match three concept. I found it to be fun and engaging so take a look at my video to see what it's like...

The Adventures of Perseus promises to delver a great yarn, but the match-3 techniques are awkward and troublesome... Very disappointing overall.

I love playing matching games especially when they are based on Greek or Roman mythology! The challenges and varieties available in this game are excellent, reminding me a little of the Cradle Of Rome series of match 3 games. There are 3 Modes of difficulty Mortal/easy which has no timer and puzzles can be skipped in 30 seconds. Hero/medium which has a timer and 60 seconds on skip and hint meters. Olympian/hard has no skip features and hints take 2 minutes to recharge. There are mini games such as repeating the same order of symbols shown in the fire, by matching the exact order on the symbols in the sand. Some levels require you to match a certain amount of keys and then use the master key to open up a chest as well as the rest of the board. You have to do the same with feathers, and then use the main feather on the parchment paper. There will eventually be sickles to collect which will destroy the creatures. There are different goals requiring different types of match 3 games, the classic 3 or more tile swapping. In my opinion it was a very enjoyable game with all varieties of Match 3 and worth the price on sale.

Here's a Totally Objective Review of the Game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_H4xyCvl_E

(10/10)

+1 Match 3

A lovely game with 9 chapters with up to 12 levels. Very much like Jason and Argonauts but the buildings are much easier to see. Great sounds and mysterious music. Build your town. Very enjoyable Match 3 with 3 difficulty levels (one untimed) and short mini-games to complete as well.
