Quadrium 3 is a marble match 3 game developed by Izmailov Vladimir Yurievich and released by HH-Games in 2024. It might sound and look familiar to you because it was published back in 2019 by Big Fish Games.
The Premise of Quadrium 3
In Quadrium 3, we have a series of puzzles of the Match 3 variety. The puzzles are set against the background of a frozen tree, and each completed level unfreezes part of it.
Gameplay
In Quadrium 3, we have a field with marbles and obstacles to clear out. We have marbles on the edges of the field, which we shoot towards the marbles in the field. We can clear them by forming groups of two or three marbles in one color. As we move through the levels, we have different obstacles, such as crates, walls, fog, deflecting arrows, portals, etc.
On the other hand, we also get more help in the form of multicolor marbles, flames, lightning, rockets, and bombs, which can clear several marbles at once, regardless of their color, and so on. Some levels have crystals we can collect and unlock mini-games we play every few levels. It is a nice change of pace.
Quadrium 3 has difficulty settings; you can choose Relaxed mode, where you match 2 marbles, or Challenge Mode, where you match 3 marbles. The game has 135 levels and no time limits. It is a well-balanced game in terms of difficulty. While it is a casual game, it’s still challenging enough to make you think and pay attention.
Some Notes
Quadrium 3 looks good, with nice, smooth animations. The atmosphere of the game is cozy, with forest animals and fantasy characters. The game has basic audio and display settings. There are no Steam achievements or cards as of this moment.
Conclusion
Quadrium 3 is a nice puzzle that offers enough challenges for a few hours. It looks deceptively simple, but it’s definitely not a game that allows you to be distracted while playing. Still, it can get repetitive, so play in small doses.
Final Verdict: I Like it a Lot.
