Frequent readers may recall our earlier coverage of the upcoming luxury match-three game, Diamond Dreams. Developed by GFAL (Games for a Living), this intriguing twist on the classic genre is set to transition from beta to a soft launch this weekend in Malaysia.
So, what defines a luxury match-three game? Essentially, it's the traditional match-three gameplay but elevated with dazzling, high-resolution graphics. In Diamond Dreams, you'll match gems rendered in stunning detail, progressing through levels to collect diamonds. These diamonds can then be used to craft virtual jewelry, designed by the same artist who created the jewels for the opening of The Crown.
Our editor, Dann Sullivan, highlighted in his preview that Diamond Dreams sets itself apart from other match-three games through its unique features. The game boasts lush visuals, a distinctive font, and a minimalist menu style that differentiate it from its competitors.
Trading Places
Diamond Dreams also incorporates Web3 integration, allowing players to trade their crafted jewelry with others. While this feature is innovative, it may not be the primary draw for a broader audience. Instead, the game's challenging difficulty and its luxurious aesthetic are likely to be what captivates players and sets Diamond Dreams apart.
If you're in Malaysia and eager to try it out, keep an eye out for Diamond Dreams as it's scheduled to go into soft launch over the weekend, subject to app review. Note that the beta version of the app will cease to function as of today.
