Well done, and actually original HEXAGON puzzler with Asian theme – Azkend HD Review

One of the best puzzle games I've played, out of MANY, MANY. I've played this nearly twice through the story mode now. That's the sincerest form of review! Azkend is related to other color / shape matching puzzles, but the "chain" based gameplay is different than most, actually allowing HUGE combos to be built up with a little practice Also, the power ups, and the lightening bar add excellent "ballance" to the game experience (so many other puzzle titles have issues with one or two pieces being "stuck" which spoils the fun) You get to select from the power ups you have aquired - that adds individual strategy It starts out fairly easy, becoming pretty hard near the end of story mode! Due to time limits and puzzle complexity But one would expect that There is a nicely done Asian theme to the game experience ( A nonspecific mixture of Japan, China, Tibet ) It can, in fact, become like a meditation. Good effects when matching, using power ups, etc My only complaint is that the story / music sometimes seems depressing or lonely? and the scenery, though beautifully drawn, does get repetative sometimes. (Also, the Survival mode would be better if you could "build it up" like the quest mode.) Overall, a great puzzle adventure worth your while.
