    Jewel Quest Review

    By

    Before there was Candy Crush Saga, there was Jewel Quest. The first Jewel Quest game hit the PC in 2004, which practically makes it ancient in video game years. This match-3 classic has spawned several sequels, many of which have been ported to different consoles, handheld systems, and any number of web-based game stables.Now the series is gaining new levels, tricks, and traps with Jewel Quest for smartphones and tablets. It's a solid experience—despite the pitfalls that are practically inherent to free-to-play games these days—but it's still very much a typical match-3 game in an overflowing market. It feels strange to say it, but Jewel Quest is an unremarkable entry in a genre its predecessor helped bring to the mainstream."You play through Jewel Quest as an archeologist seeking her fortune in ruins previously thought lost to time. Don't think too hard about it; in the end, it's just an excuse to get you to swap some jewels. Nobody needs an excuse to play a match-3 game, though. Matching up lines of gems just scratches some kind of itch we're all born with.

    Jewel Quest is practically Match-3 royalty. The original game hit the PC in 2004, and has since been ported across several consoles and portable game systems. It's even free-to-play on many web-based game sites. Maybe you still tab it out when you hear your boss's feet sweeping towards your office.Now Jewel Quest is finally coming to mobile phones and tablets. No surprise there, since the likes of Candy Crush Saga has made Match-3 games a pretty hot ticket. Digital marketplaces are currently brimming with Match-3 titles as a result of their popularity, however. Will one of the genre's precursors manage to wrench some attention from the candy-crazed masses?There's always time for a little Match-3 gaming, and Jewel Quest aims to capture players by giving the original some depth. Whereas the original Jewel Quest doesn't require much of you beyond turning the sandy portions of the board into gold by making matches, the mobile Jewel Quest goes around the world with a story. You play as an archeologist who's trotting the globe in search of treasure and wonder. It doesn't take long before you stumble on both. In the end, however, it's all just to motivate you into solving puzzles."Though there are some new twists, Jewel Quest's core gameplay should feel familiar to series veterans. Each sand-covered game board is scattered with jewels. When you match up jewels of the same color, the sand lying beneath said jewels transforms into gold. When you turn the entire board gold, you move on to the next level.
