Our take on The Forgotten Land
Its turn-based structure gives players time to consider moves, but it trades away the urgency of timed combat. The focus on team abilities and camp bonuses also ties progression to group management rather than puzzle play alone.
What is The Forgotten Land?
The Forgotten Land combines turn-based combat with match-3 puzzles in a dark fantasy setting.
Players embark on a quest with friends, set up a camp, and improve their team’s abilities. Battles involve anticipating opponents’ tactics, limiting counterattacks, and using heroes’ special powers. Puzzle boards may extend across several levels, with fire traces, new powers, and items used to pass through portals and drive away enemies. Turns have no time limit. Players can improve individual hero abilities, gain bonuses by setting up camp, and test themselves in mini-games. The game includes streamlined RPG and management elements alongside its combat and puzzle systems.
