Match crystals, unleash chain reactions and discover how a single move can change the course of battle. A PEACE INTERRUPTED. A MYSTERY TO UNRAVEL. The world was enjoying a time of peace. In the dwarven kingdom, the Tournament of Crowns brought its peoples together for a grand celebration. During the festivities, an important crystal was stolen. Soon, demons and monsters began appearing across the realm. A coincidence? Or is someone, or something, behind it all? Immerse yourself in a deep story told through encounters, cinematics and discoveries. Explore alliances, rivalries and secrets whose meaning unfolds throughout your journey. MATCHES THAT TRANSFORM THE BOARD Go beyond matching three crystals. Lines, crosses, explosions and prismatic crystals open new possibilities.
