Rune Legacy is not your typical matching game... it is so much more. Tap on the board to place runes. Runes must match the color and/or symbol next to it. Placing runes will turn the tile background yellow. Once all tiles are yellow, the board is complete. Discard runes you don't want to place, but discarding too many in a row will cause you to lose the game. Sounds simple? The difficulty increases with each board, adding new rune symbols or colors. Features include: - 25 quests with 15 levels each. Each quest increases new runes (symbols and/or colors). - 3 Side quests (easy, medium, and hard) with varying difficulties and each has 20 levels (with more to come). - Test your abilities with Survival Mode. Continue to clear boards... as you do, more colors and runes are added. - Leaderboards and Achievements. Get the Power Pack to greatly increase your strategy. With the Power Pack, you can: - See the next 3 runes (instead of just one). - Earn XP twice as fast. - Remove Ads. - Extra discard (4 discards instead of 3). Email: brad@walltechllc.com

Cyberpunk and Fantasy also bring their own music. Switch in Settings. TILE LABELS Show text, icons or nothing at all on the tiles, whichever reads best for you.

GAME CENTER Compare your score on the leaderboard and collect achievements, including Inbox Zero. SETTINGS Music volume, haptics in three levels, tile labels and language.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Inbox Dash at none against Rune Legacy's 8. Inbox Dash also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 2 months). Rune Legacy's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
