Yo, ho, ho and a bottle of rum! Ahoy there me hearties! It’s me again yer favorite app pirate. The crew and I explored this amazing place that reminded us of the ancient Roman Empire. The relics gave that coliseum vibe and the best of all, we found interesting items that looked like they came from that period. That sparked my interest about ancient Rome so for our app review, I decided to share something that aligns to that. Batten down the hatches and let me tell you about this game called Jewels of Rome: Gems Puzzle by G5 Entertainment.
The artwork is superb
The developers did an excellent work with its graphics. The details are impressive and so as the vibrant colors. Everything you will see, from the people to the backgrpind, is aligned with the theme, which is ancient Rome. It will take you back in time during that period. It has a storyline to follow and you will meet different characters that are dressed up like the people from those times like royals and gladiators. There are also various areas to unlock as you build the city that come with their own environment like the villa and farm.
It has thousands of levels
There are over three thousand levels to play as of this writing. There’s a tutorial in the beginning, so you’ll learn how to play through the guide. Even without the tutorial, it’s not hard to understand, especially if you played match 3 puzzle games before. It has the same gameplay and like these games, it also come with boosters if ever you get stuck with your moves. As mentioned, there’s a story to follow, which makes you feel easily invested in the game. The levels start easy but they get more challenging. You would come to a point where it would be nearly impossible to pass a level without using boosters, which coat gems. So, you could feel that you’re forced to make an in app purchase at this point. Although, of course, it’s up to you if you want to do this as it means spending real money. It can be frustrating to complete the higher levels without booster though.
It’s free and it’s social
You can download this game for free and you can keep playing without spending real money, but as mentioned, there comes a point when this could become difficult. This game is also social as it lets you connect with other players from around the world. It has a chat feature so you can talk to them and make some friends.
Thumbs up
It has outstanding graphics and thousands of levels. It’s free and you can also connect and chat with other players from around the world. Besides the classic match 3 gameplay, it has a story and build a city side to it.
Thumbs down
The higher levels get frustratingly difficult that they are hard to pass without boosters. You need gems that can be purchased with real money to get these boosters.
The verdict
We highly recommend Jewels of Rome: Gems Puzzle, especially to those who are into match 3 puzzle games. It’s the gameplay you are familiar with but it comes with an interesting story where you will meet different characters. It’s set in ancient Rome and the graphics give justice to that. There are various areas to build that come with thousands of levels to unlock. It’s free and you can also connect with other players and even chat with them.
