The iOS puzzle game scene is always brimming with fresh and exciting releases, and one such gem that's caught our attention is the rerelease of an oddball classic, Runes: Puzzle. Originally a title that flew under the radar on iOS, it's now back with a revamp that promises to draw players back into its intriguing world.
In Runes: Puzzle, the core gameplay revolves around maneuvering a cuboid block across a map. Your mission? Collect other blocks adorned with runes while navigating through a maze of obstacles and tackling map-specific challenges. The gameplay might sound straightforward—you flip the red block to move from square to square and connect with the necessary blocks—but don't let that fool you. Much like the recently released iOS puzzler Link All, the true challenge lies in the unique twists and turns that each level throws at you.
The game features four distinct worlds, each with its own set of mechanics, and over 70 levels to conquer. Additionally, there are five special challenges that will test your skills even further, ensuring that you'll have plenty to keep you engaged.
RuuunesAlthough the original developer was somewhat secretive about this being a rerelease, the revamp looks promising. However, the real question is whether the gameplay will hold players' interest over time. The repetitive nature of flipping blocks could potentially become tedious, but the diverse mechanics across the four worlds might just keep things fresh and exciting.
