Match-3 is one of the oldest and best-known game genres around. You don't need convincing of its appeal, since you've almost certainly played titles like Candy Crush Saga, Bejeweled Blitz or Farm Heroes Saga at some point.
Over time, match-3 games have grown more inventive in their gameplay and storytelling, adding fresh ideas to the familiar formula. A prime example is Downtown Drama, which feels like a visual novel yet is built around match-3 puzzles. So how exactly does it work? Let's take a closer look in the article below.
Introduction to Downtown Drama
Downtown Drama is a brand-new game released by Puzzle Drama in early August 2024. At its core, it belongs to the match-3 genre, but it blends in many other elements typical of a drama-driven story.
Familiar match-3 gameplay
Let's start with the most fundamental part of Downtown Drama: its match-3 mechanic. Line up three objects of the same color in a horizontal or vertical row and they vanish from the board, earning you points. Match four and you create a special item that clears an entire horizontal or vertical row when activated. Manage to match five and you'll create a particularly powerful item. Swap it with any object and every object of that color disappears, granting a huge point boost.
Tasks
In Downtown Drama, most levels don't rely on a simple score. Instead, you need to complete the objectives the game sets, such as collecting a certain number of red, blue or yellow objects, or clearing the wooden crates that appear on the board. The game also features many boards with unusual shapes and tricky mechanics that take time to get used to. You may even find yourself replaying a single level dozens or even hundreds of times before you finally pass it!
Each level gives you a limited number of moves. If you haven't completed every objective by the time those moves run out, you lose. Feeling discouraged and just want to get past a tough level? You can buy extra moves by watching advertising videos. Nobody will judge you for it!
The drama story
With the main course covered, let's move on to the spicy part of Downtown Drama. The game is built around an outrageously over-the-top love triangle. You play a wronged woman who discovers, right as the game begins, that her husband is having an affair with another woman. From there, it's up to you to expose the pair, and winning match-3 puzzles is the key to moving the entire story forward.
Expect plenty of scandalous dialogue, jealous confrontations and even some steamy scenes as the plot unfolds. Downtown Drama clearly knows how to keep players entertained beyond its somewhat familiar match-3 gameplay.
Make a choice
Alongside match-3, Downtown Drama has another mechanic worth highlighting: making choices. This means you have full control over your character's decisions, from how you handle your current husband to who you pursue in future relationships. Most players will choose to cut ties with their cheating husband, but trying out different options leads to plenty of unexpected and amusing situations.
Mini games
Every so often, Downtown Drama throws in an incident to heighten the drama. The most typical example is your main character being kidnapped and having to wait for rescue. Whether you're saved in time depends on the mini games you play next. These mini games have nothing to do with match-3, so it almost feels like you've switched to an entirely different game.
