Dragons & Diamonds

A match-3 RPG about hunting dragons

Dragons & Diamonds is a fantasy role playing game built around match-3 puzzles. The premise is a treasure guarded by dragons, and you lead a team of bounty hunters to take it. Fights are decided by how well you match diamonds, so the puzzle and the battle are the same thing.

According to the developer, each dragon is harder than the one before, which suits anyone who wants a puzzle game with a team-building layer and a steady climb in difficulty.

Matching diamonds to win fights

Your main task in a battle is to find the best match of diamonds. Matching them is how you attack both the dragons and the minion beasts that serve them. Your hunters and their equipment take part in the same battlefield, so the board and the team work together in each fight.

The dragons are described as fiery and powerful, so the match strategy has to keep pace as the enemies get tougher.

Recruiting and equipping bounty hunters

Dragons have captured a group of bounty hunters, and rescuing them is how you build your team. The listing describes the hunters as brave, adventurous, or simply greedy, which gives the roster its character.

Before a quest you choose which hunters to bring and equip them with powerful items. The team is meant to rid the world of the dragons and reach the treasure before it is too late.

Winning chests on the way to the treasure

Winning battles earns chests, which the listing calls invaluable. Each dragon stands between you and the treasure, so a win is how you move toward it.
