10000000

This is a game you need.

When we come to compile our games of the year this December, 10000000 will have a very high position on that list.

10000000 is at times extremely frustrating, but I still find myself compelled to play it again and again. I mean, that name is just hard to type out because I'm never sure how many zeroes there are in it, but it's still a great puzzle-RPG hybrid.

If you're getting a little burned out on the idea of match-3 mixing with role playing, 10000000 probably won't do much to change your mind. Then again, if you're a little burned out on the idea of match-3 mixing with role-playing, you're probably not very much fun, and I don't want to talk to you. For the rest of us though, 10000000 offers up another great example of genre mashups done right. Congratulations – we've just found your next month-long addiction.

While 10000000's concept is far from unique, its smooth integration of RPG mechanics makes for an addictive arcade-puzzler.

Getting your head around its name might be an epic quest in itself, but 10000000 is an enjoyable fusion of match-three and RPG.

All the cool stuff 1000000 gets right - the strategy, the long-term persistence, the loot, the leveling up - falls apart when I have to back up and align two tiles just so in order to convince the game that I want to move in the direction I want to move. It doesn't happen often. But it happens regularly enough to kill what would otherwise be a pretty cool game.

I really liked it in the beginning but in the end it felt repetetive. I missed a good boss fight as well. A few hours of fun but a weak version of puzzle quest.
