Treasures of the Serengeti

As there are very few games devoted to African theme, Treasures of the Serengeti by I-Play stands out quite favorably in that case. This newest puzzle adventure asks you to help a young tribal shaman restore his village and return people home by collecting different colored gems.

Though Treasures of the Serengeti is a jewel-swapping match 3 game at its gist, it is absolutely different from the usual match-three game interpretations many of you have already tried. Rather than being stuck in ordinary “swap-gem” tasks, you will try an unusual mixture of traditional jigsaw puzzles and fast-paced gameplay. What is really cool about this title is that these colored gems rotate themselves to fit, so you must just to look for the general shapes to fit. When you progress, some useful tools will be added in to make the gameplay more enjoyable. Even the mini-games there are renewed and do not have the same exhaustion. It is necessary to point out that all mini games are surprisingly fun and all promote the cultural theme.

There you can find a few twists that cardinally distinguish Treasures of the Serengeti from the common match-3 clones, such as the fun musical mini-games, for example. Well-made, both graphically and in terms of gameplay itself, this premise offers a set of fine ideas and successfully realize all of them. Surely, you cannot but note the features of old school match-three game that were refreshed in interesting way. These game innovations keep you from growing dull. Good job!
