We are excited to present YOU with 40 absolutely FREE levels of our hit match-3 game as a Beta! Please write to to share the impressions of the game! ***
Hoarding as much gold as possible never gets old, but for a game called Cradle of Rome, we expected a game worthy of the world's greatest empire.*** Help us refine and polish our match-3 game Cradle Of Rome almost ready for the release. It's still a fun Bejeweled clone, and you'll need a few hours to clear its puzzles, but we needed something innovative. We expected some sort of puzzle game/real time strategy hybrid, but D3 Publisher fails to deliver.
No one ever attacks you, nor will you need to make important decisions to keep your citizens happy. Building something like a coliseum has little impact on the game aside from bringing you one step closer to achieving this bizarre objective. The goal is to eventually create Rome one building at a time, but this side quest is more of a distraction than innovative feature. After each puzzle, you're given the opportunity to purchase a piece of architecture, providing you have the dough to do so. Clearing silver and gold coins sends cash to your bank account, while eliminating wood tiles adds the valuable resource to your inventory. Unlike Bejeweled, you earn cash and supplies from matching symbols. Fail to make them disappear before the water in the vase runs out (yup, the water in the vase), and it's game over. You must also clear the blue tiles scattered about the playfields in order to progress. Each of the 100 levels has a unique shape that causes the symbols to stack up in different ways. It's actually enjoyable.Īside from the overused "match three" formula, Cradle is its own beast. Granted, we were stuck in a doctor's office, but we didn't curse our mothers. There's also this bizarre architecture subplot going on that makes no sense, but none of this game's quirks prevented us from playing it for several hours. It plays similar to Bejeweled, with gamers matching three or more of the same symbols to make them disappear, except instead of rubies and diamonds, you have wood, axes and leaves. Cradle of Rome is one of the DS' most nonsensical video games.
