Game is all about matching three or more swords to increase your attack rating high enough to win when matching against enemies. Theres other junk on the board, but its virtually worthless (unlike games like Puzzle Quest where every resource MATTERS). Damage is very difficult to heal and easily leads to permadeath (which you can avoid by paying real dollars). Youre encouraged to customize your avatar but then have to swap to new ugly clothes (in a bad inventory interface) for marginal stat bonuses. Special powers that break up the sword-matching monotony require literally more than a hundred matches to recharge (so as to not detract excessively from the monotony, presumably).
