I’d say there’s quite a lot of competition out there for block based puzzle games, I enjoy playing Bejeweled and I still love Super Puzzle Fighter.  So here we have a new entrant into the market with Meteos Wars , it doesn’t really bring anything new to the genre but it’s addictive, there are plenty of game modes to keep you entertained and the online multiplayer is pretty fun too.

The main objective is to match three colours in a row, either  horizontally or vertically and then blast them off the top of the screen. There is a cool sci fi twist to the game also the blocks are supposed to be the alien invaders or ‘Meteos’ and you are blasting them off your planet as they land. It’s a very basic story but so what this is a block puzzle game.

As usual with these types of puzzle games the gameplay is fast and addictive but what I really liked best was the gravity effect that is in the game. Each level represents a planet and each planet has different strengths of gravity, so some of them will have zero gravity making it very easy to launch the blocks off into space but later on there will be much stronger gravity on the planets and thus the blocks get heavier which results in them being launched upwards a lot slower. This can make for some really frantic levels later on and you need to be pretty fast to get through.  There are also special blocks to destroy for certain missions along with some interesting power-ups.

When I first downloaded this game I was very skeptical with the amount of similar games there are already on the market but I am pleased to say that Meteos Wars is both unique and enjoyable and I highly recommend it as one of the best Arcade releases in a while.
