Frequent readers might remember our recent coverage of the upcoming luxury match-three game, Diamond Dreams, developed by GFAL (Games for a Living). This intriguing twist on the classic format is set to transition from beta to soft launch this weekend, exclusively in Malaysia.
So, what exactly is a luxury match-three? It's the quintessential match-three experience, but with an extravagant flair. The gems you match are rendered in stunning, high-resolution detail, and as you progress through levels, you earn diamonds that can be crafted into virtual jewelry. These jewels are designed by the same artist who crafted the jewels for the opening of the acclaimed series, The Crown.
As noted by our editor, Dann Sullivan, in his preview, Diamond Dreams sets itself apart from other games in the genre through its distinctive features. The game's lush visuals, elegant fonts, and minimalist menu style are particularly noteworthy.
Trading placesDiamond Dreams also incorporates Web3 technology, allowing players to trade their crafted jewelry with others. While this feature adds an interesting layer, it's the game's challenging difficulty and luxurious aesthetic that are likely to attract a broader audience.
If you're in Malaysia and eager to dive into Diamond Dreams, keep an eye out for its soft launch this weekend, subject to app review approval. Note that the previously available beta version will cease to function as of today.
