When I was a kid, I discovered that treasure hunting with your siblings isn't really a rewarding experience, after ending all your efforts with just more dirt in your hands. However, in the Pakoombo game, you're off to find real treasure in a small tropical island. How do I know it's real? Well, an authentic age old treasure map is involved, and we all know age old maps mean real treasure, right?
Anyway, Pakoombo is about the story of the brothers and sister tandem of Cathy, Stewart and Leo as they try to find lost treasure within their little tropical island. After their father, Opkins was informed that the resort he was working on will be closed for good; the family is at a lost on how to keep living their fun and simple lives. Luck struck good though after Leo found a part of a treasure map by accident, which may mean unimaginable riches if this map actually leads them to buried treasure.
The game plays just like your average match 3 puzzle where you have to swap tiles and match them with the same designed tiles to clear them off the board. During story mode, you are sometimes tasked to gather objects and clear a set amount of them before the game lets you continue on the rest of the story. However, the real gameplay comes when you're off challenging enemies and the island natives on a game of Pakoombo, which is basically a match 3 battle mode.
The Pakoombo game plays very much like Puzzle Quest where you take turns in draining the life out of your opponent before he gets a chance to drain yours. Your objective is to match skulls to reduce a point from your opponent's life and if you think it's more advantageous, use power-ups called gifts against your opponent too. Remember though that gifts are mostly limited, and your enemy is most likely to have gifts equipped too, so be ready for tougher enemies as you go along the game.
