Levels II, the sequel to the popular 2016 title Levels, arrives on Android as a minimalist dungeon crawler brimming with strategic puzzles. If you're familiar with the original, you'll recognize the core gameplay, but with significant enhancements. Let's delve into what makes this game a compelling evolution.
The game presents a dungeon filled with treasures guarded by monsters. Progress isn't simply a matter of moving forward; you must strategically level up your adventurers to overcome these obstacles. This is achieved through managing a grid of colored tiles: blue for adventurers, yellow for treasure, and red for enemies.
Unlike its predecessor's random tile generation, Levels II introduces a system where tile color and level are directly influenced by player actions. Defeating a red tile, for instance, often reveals a yellow one, creating a dynamic and interconnected puzzle experience. It's no longer just about merging tiles; it's about strategic planning and resource management.
The rewards in Levels II extend beyond a simple high score. While the core mechanics of merging, looting, and battling remain, the added layer of strategic depth significantly enhances gameplay. Familiar elements like the Thunder Stone (for when you're stuck) and hidden panels with unique patterns return, offering additional challenges and rewards.
