Stick to your objective
In each level of Star Wars: Puzzle Droids
you have a task or objective to fulfill. You need to clear out a number
of gems or chips as they are called. Just complete the objectives and
you’ll be fine. In some cases you won’t be getting the chips but special
kind of chips that are scattered through the board. Clear nearby chips
to get those special chips which you usually just get by then.
Show your moves
When we say moves, they are your actual
move numbers in the game. In every level you can have a specific number
of moves. Like lets say in one level you can only make 30 moves. When
that 30 move number goes zero and you still haven’t completed the level,
it will fail. Don’t worry though because if you just stuck to the
objective as we stated, then you’ll be fine. One other thing is that the
least amount of moves you use means the higher the points you get.
Use power chips
Aside from the regular chips that you can
match on the board, you can also use power chips. These are like
special chips that have special abilities. You can see them as normal
chips but have something around them. Just like those power chips that
can destroy chips in a straight line vertical or horizontal. Plus there
are those chips that can destroy an area. Just be sure to clear the
chips near them to trigger their effect. Knowing where and when to use
them is the key as well.
Collect special discs
When you gain enough points in each
levels, you can get special discs. Basically when you collect enough of
them you can unlock special puzzle levels. A special puzzle level
requires a number of special discs. When you have enough, just unlock
the level and play it. In terms of gameplay, it is the same as the
regular ones. The basic point of these special levels is that they show
different memories of BB-8 and other parts of the movies.
Raise your points
In Star Wars: Puzzle Droids, you gain
points after the end of each level. Now you can gain more points by
replaying older levels. Just to be clear you don’t get anything when you
have higher points. Think of it as just a personal achievement for the
most part.
There are hundreds, if not thousands,
of match-3 puzzle games currently on the market. Yet even when deluged
with options, the appetite is such that any new release featuring a
household name is essentially guaranteed a large enough audience to be
viable. With Genera Games already
known as a developer of successful match-3 games (Barbie: Sparkle
Blast, Star Trek: Wrath of Gems), and perhaps no bigger franchise name
in the world than Star Wars, it would have been easy to phone it in with
Star Wars: Puzzle Droids.
Instead, the game offers something a little different for both Star Wars and match-3 fans. Unlike most match-3 games, there’s a narrative to Star Wars: Puzzle Droids — one that’s consistent and runs throughout the game.
The game offers a retelling of Star Wars: The Force Awakens from the unique perspective of BB-8. Present but not actively engaged in many of the key moments of the films, the memories stored by BB-8 tread the line of an insider/outsider perspective. In order to complete the full narrative you have to complete the game, and once you get started it’s very difficult to stop. Sure, you might think you’re only going to play for 20 minutes, but before you know it your whole weekend is gone and you’ve only hit level 60.

In terms of gameplay itself, the actions
will be instantly familiar to anyone who’s ever played a match-3 game
before. There are the basic matches, with ‘super gems’ created by
combining more than three gems of the same color in a variety of ways.
These super gems can be combined with other super gems to create big
reactions helping you complete level goals faster. Like with other
big-name, big-budget match-3 puzzlers there’s also super-powerful bonus
moves that are awarded rarely in-game, but available as in-app
purchases. For purists they’re so powerful they’ll likely feel like
cheating, but can be a real lifeline if you’re looking to make it to the
next memory quickly.
Where Star Wars: Puzzle Droids will endear itself to hardcore fans of the genre is in the variety of challenge types. As you progress through the game, it isn’t the same basic four or five challenge types being recycled over and over (one of the weaker aspects of recent games like Rio: Match-3 Party) as each stage feels familiar, yet different from any of the previous stages. You might be trying to eliminate wooden or blue tiles again, but in order to uncover them, you might need to knock out attacking ships or be limited to using bombs because of their positions.

Unlike many match-3 games, Star Wars:
Puzzle Droids also offers overarching missions. If you want to level
up, you’ll need to complete these missions so it’s best not to ignore
them even if they aren’t in your face.
Graphically, the game isn’t particularly impressive. Rather than a weakness, this means performance is strong even on very old devices. The background music and sound effects definitely benefit from having an official relationship to the Star Wars franchise. Together, the background graphics and music give the game an authentic legitimacy.
Overall, Star Wars: Puzzle Droids doesn’t offer anything radically innovative. But it does offer more than your typical match-3 – a cohesive and compelling narrative, smooth gameplay and a seemingly endless variety of challenges that revolve around common themes. If you’re a fan of Star Wars you’ve likely already downloaded it. If not, it’s still worth a try. You’ve only got your productivity to lose while there’s hours of fun to be gained.
