How it feels
A brisk and casual match-3 game where you race against the clock to clear runes and earn upgrades.

What players say
Players are split on Rune Lord. The timer in every mode is a point of contention – some call it a twitch match-3 while others feel it ruins casual play. There is a difficulty spike on the first boss in advanced mode that some find insurmountable, and the game draws frequent comparisons to the Treasures of Montezuma series.
