Azkend 2: The Puzzle Adventure App Reviews

For the longest time, I was put off by reviews that were saying just how difficult and frustrating this game is. It seems the game has been balanced since then, because Azkend 2 is truly excellent. Ill be clear: if you want a relaxing match game, Azkend 2 is not for you. (It can be frustrating at times, as you really need to vary your powerups, much moreso than the first game.) That said, if you want a challenging, beautiful match game with excellent music and nicely varied goals (much more so than the first Azkend), then youve found your game. EDIT: just finished the game last night...and went back and started it over again (you get to keep your power ups!), as well as working on the medals. On the whole, some of the levels maybe feel a bit too hard (bug levels on a small grid were quite challenging), in that they require as much luck as skill...but no board took me more than a dozen tries....and it makes the payoff all the more rewarding. Difficult, but not impossible (Jewel Quest vs levels, Im looking at you). On the whole, every bit as good as the first game, and in many ways, better.

I enjoyed the adventure mode mostly but 2 things make this a game to avoid. Some levels are going to be lost from the beginning. On multiple occasions I had maps where there was only 1 valid move and then the map would regenerate. What is worse is that sometimes the newly generated map had the same issues. Then on the medals gameplay, you can lose the ability to win the medal with no explanation of why. Randomly the medals get disabled for the level.

Nice music and graphics. Very challenging. I love the story that goes along with it.

Great puzzle game, adventure storyline, music, high production values overall. Gameplay is challenging and theres a lot of strategy involved in picking the correct items best suited for each level. Getting stuck on a level is frustrating, but switching up equipment in your inventory usually is the key to passing the level. I agree with most reviewers that the timer is frustrating but its all the sweeter when you beat the level.

I loved the original Azkend. Version 2, however, even after all of the updates, is way too difficult and time-limiting to be enjoyable for me. Im just not into that. I like relaxing games.

First of all, to people whining that its too difficult: Its not supposed to be relaxing. Not every game is relaxing. If youre finding it too difficult, do like the game says and try different active and lassie power ups. My only complaint is that the game is so short! I beat it in a few days of casual play. The first Azkend seemed much, much longer. Please add levels.

It was a pleasure playing this game, the graphics, music and the game itself is very interesting. Kudos to the developers. Highly recommended!

A wonderful game with much more stunning visuals than the original Azkend, but my only complaint is that the tiles are a lot smaller in this game that makes it a lot harder to go fast!

Got boring rather quickly. I agree more with the 3.5 star reviews listed on the Internet.

Azkend was a very simplistic game that was good for killing some time while standing on the subway or in line at the post office. One of the key benefits to that game was that its easily playable with one hand. Azkend 2 is in landscape mode for some reason. Why? It therefore requires two hands. Azkend 2 does look much nicer with higher resolution graphics. But I deleted it right away because its in landscape mode. Oh well.

This needs to be updated for newly released firmware and hardware. And the story is so short its pathetic that the developers didnt add more. I thought the first was the better of this version 2.

It doesnt seem like the tutorial is ever done. Each level of the game seems to start out with a hint or tutorial. I figure once the original tutorial is done, I know how to play the game. If something different comes to the game, a tutorial is nice. When its just match 3, I dont need a lesson each time.
