Azkend review

Azkend is an original and exciting tile matching game for the iPhone that grows on you quickly and gets pretty addictive right away. Featuring brilliant graphics and sound effects, action packed gameplay and an original storyline, the beautiful game of Azkend is a sure win for any fan of tile based games for the iPhone.

Fluid controls combined with enthralling graphics and addictive game play are proof that there were no compromises made when transforming from a desktop game into iPhone and iPod touch. The game has 2 modes you can play. In adventure mode your save yourself by ascending to great heights, while in survival mode you are trying to survive the challenge of them talismans. To play Azkend you just have to match 3 or more matching like items by touching and dragging on the iPhone screen. You can do zig zags and go in any direction you want. Each tile you touch becomes blue, and after you make the entire board blue, all the pieces turn white. Then you’ll get one piece of the talisman, that you have to lower to the bottom by matching more tiles. Each round reveals a new piece and you will finally have a full Talisman at the end which will open up a new special type of tile for you to use.

There is a thunder meter in the Azkend game that you can use to blow up pieces quickly. To summon the thunder try to break items without going over already used pieces (the blue ones). Other bonus tiles are steel, ice, tar and wildcard, which each have their own characteristics in the game. As you work your way through the game you walk through the captivating story and collect all 8 talismans and play various mini-games throughout. If you’ve enjoyed playing Bejeweled on the iPhone, you will absolutely love Azkend. It’s one of those games those hidden gems in the App Store that have not fully blown up to the mainstream audience with a ton of potential.
