Diamond Dreams, the highly anticipated luxury match-three game from GFAL (Games for a Living), is set to transition from beta to soft launch this weekend in Malaysia. This intriguing twist on the classic match-three format promises a unique gaming experience that could potentially captivate a broad audience.
So, what exactly is a luxury match-three? At its core, it retains the fundamental mechanics of the genre but elevates them to a dazzling level. The gems you match are rendered in stunning, high-resolution detail, and by clearing levels, players can earn diamonds to craft virtual jewelry. These pieces are designed by the same artist responsible for the jewels in the opening sequence of the acclaimed series, The Crown.
As highlighted by our editor, Dann Sullivan, in his preview of GFAL's match-three puzzler, Diamond Dreams sets itself apart from the competition through its distinctive features. The game's lush visuals, elegant font, and minimalist menu style contribute to its unique aesthetic.
Trading places
Diamond Dreams also incorporates Web3 technology, enabling players to trade their crafted jewelry with others. While this feature is innovative, it's the game's challenging difficulty and luxurious aesthetic that are likely to attract a wider audience. The blend of sophisticated visuals and engaging gameplay could be the key to drawing in players.
If you're in Malaysia and eager to try Diamond Dreams, keep an eye out for its soft launch over the weekend, subject to app review approval. Note that the beta version of the app will cease to function as of today.
