### 5/5 — My favourite iPad game

*2026-05-22*

I really wish you guys would release another one one day 🙂

### 4/5 — Good but

*2024-11-06*

Good game but very short  , like first one more .

### 3/5 — Fun but not worth the cost.

*2023-09-25, version 1.2.4*

I had fun playing this, but it’s not really something I would replay time and again. The first Azkend game has amazing replayability, and I’ve been playing it on and off for years. This one I feel there is too much emphasis on story line, and timed puzzles for it to have that kind of longevity. TBH it was a relief to have finished it, and I don’t think that’s the sort of reaction you want from a game.

### 4/5 — Awesome and unique game

*2019-09-11*

So glad to find a unique match 3 game like this, with no IAP, thank you, developer! Very beautifully designed. The only thing I don’t like is that it’s landscape only (the original Azkend is portrait, much easier to hold and match). Still, that’s not a dealbreaker. This game is super well designed and challenging and fun.

### 4/5 — In fine tradition

*2018-02-09*

Loved what they kept the same, love what they changed. Story is fun and art is beautiful. Good sound track too. The new added game types are extremely fun. Not giving it 5 stars because I beat it without losing (so not challenging enough) and only took a few hours. So changing one of those two I’d change my rating to 5. But given the quality of game content and possible updates definitely worth the money.

### 2/5 — Very Annoying

*2015-01-13, version 1.2.1*

It doesn't seem like the tutorial is ever done. Each level of the game seems to start out with a hint or tutorial. I figure once the original tutorial is done, I know how to play the game. If something different comes to the game, a tutorial is nice. When it's just match 3, I don't need a lesson each time.

### 1/5 — Needs update

*2014-10-08, version 1.2.1*

This needs to be updated for newly released firmware and hardware. And the story is so short it's pathetic that the developers didn't add more. I thought the first was the better of this version 2.

### 2/5 — Can't play with one hand!

*2014-09-29, version 1.2.1*

Azkend was a very simplistic game that was good for killing some time while standing on the subway or in line at the post office. One of the key benefits to that game was that it's easily playable with one hand. Azkend 2 is in landscape mode for some reason. Why? It therefore requires two hands. 

Azkend 2 does look much nicer with higher resolution graphics. But I deleted it right away because it's in landscape mode. Oh well.

### 3/5 — Boring

*2014-09-29, version 1.2.1*

Got boring rather quickly.  I agree more with the 3.5 star reviews listed on the Internet.

### 1/5 — Immerhin 1 Stern 😂

*2014-09-27*

Immer und immer wieder muss man Animationen ertragen. Texte werden nicht ins Deutsche übersetzt. Das Spiel wird außerdem schnell langweilig. Was bleibt übrig, außer 1 Stern zu verteilen?!
