Candy Crush + Turn-based RPG | First Impressions - Bright Reappear
3K View2023-05-27Bright Reappear is what happens when a Candy Crush match three-like puzzle system is combined with retro style turn-based RPG gameplay. Both genres are super popular on their own, but have never really combined with one another that much except for a handful of games. Bright Reappear is another one of those games, with some unique twists of its own.
Bright Reappear boasts six hero characters (judging from the promotional images), each possessing their own distinct talents and skills. With 12 chapters divided into levels and featuring up to 50 different enemies and bosses, the game promises a substantial puzzle-solving RPG adventure. Although the demo version I played only includes four chapters and a single hero for now, the overall tone of the game feels great already.
In terms of gameplay, Bright Reappear revolves around guiding your hero through side-scrolling levels and engaging in one-on-one battles with various monsters. The combat mechanics adopt a traditional turn-based approach, but instead of selecting actions directly, players must solve match-three puzzles to perform different actions with varying intensities. Each level culminates in a challenging encounter with a formidable enemy.
Bright Reappear introduces some intriguing twists to the match-three formula. Players can move up to two pieces at once, provided they are in the same direction, adding a faster paced action compared to other match-three games. Additionally, players can strategically move pieces even when there are no matches available, setting up grander combinations. There aren’t any certain limits to the number of moves, the players are only limited by how long their characters can withstand enemies’ attacks.
Bright Reappear features light RPG mechanics, allowing players to acquire different weapons, armor, and accessories throughout the levels. Gems can be found as well, serving as enhancements for items. Additionally, there's an enticing gambling game mode where players can test their luck and potentially earn more gold coins.

Use the power of candy crush matching to combat monsters| First Impressions - Bright Reappear
Bright Reappear is an intriguing fusion of the popular Candy Crush match-three puzzle system and retro-style turn-based RPG gameplay. While these both addicting genres have rarely been combined in the past, this game brings its own unique twists to the table.
Bright Reappear features six playable hero characters, with two heroes: “Warrior” and “Thieves”' already unlocked from the start. Each of them have their own distinct talents and skills that are affected by the match-three combat style system. I was able to play the demo version before, and this game is mostly the same with minor changes, only now with complete 12 chapters divided into levels and featuring up to 50 different enemies and bosses..
