Chainblade
Read full descriptionHide full description
Trace. Slash. Stay alive. Chainblade is a line-drawing puzzle crossed with a roguelite, inspired by Dungeon Raid. Link three or more matching tiles on a six by six board, cut enemies down with the sword, hold the line with shields and potions, and try to reach turn fifty alive. SIMPLE, THEN DEEP - Sword chains cut straight through enemies. A red cross marks anything you can kill this turn - Shields give armour, potions restore health, coins give score and gold - Clear ten coins at once for a coin pouch bonus BUILD YOUR OWN RUN - Level up to earn spells on cooldown: judgement lightning, barrier, freeze, gold rush and more - Collect relics from chests and shops and stack the effects - Fill the shield gauge to pick a permanent stat boost BOSSES IN THE WAY - A boss appears every ten turns. Four types stand between you and the end: normal, thorned (reflects), poison and life-draining GAME CENTER - Take your high score to the worldwide leaderboard Short enough for a gap in the day, deep enough to chew on. One decision changes the whole run.

"Dive. Drop. Chain." Delbloom is a falling-block puzzle roguelite—a dungeon-diving puzzle adventure. Match four or more same-color seeds (blocks) to clear them, link chains, and blast the monsters below. Keep the joy of building the board and the rush of a big chain—then dive into a labyrinth that reshapes itself every time. No two runs play the same. ■ Drop, connect, chain - Intuitive touch controls to drop seeds and match colors - Longer chains hit harder—board-building decides the fight - Monsters telegraph their next move—read it and answer with a chain ■ A labyrinth that shifts as you dive (roguelite) - Choose your route down a branching map toward the boss - Build your run with relics earned in every battle - Random events, special-rule challenges, rest sites—a new path every time - Ascension levels to keep raising the bar ■ Eight seekers, each with a unique ability - Spend mana to unleash a signature ability that opens up moments chains alone can't reach - "Reweave" swaps two cells, "Rewind" reverts the board to its previous state, "Reforetell" recolors your upcoming seeds, "Seed Gravity" pulls same-color seeds into a huge chain—and more - Who you dive as changes how you build the board and play ■ Fair, one-time unlock - Clear all the way to the deepest floor for free (no ads) - Love it? A single Full Unlock opens all 7 remaining seekers - No subscriptions, no stamina, no pay-to-win Japanese / English supported. Now—dive, drop, and connect.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chainblade at none against Delbloom's 1. Chainblade also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Delbloom's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
