Power-ups have long been a way to feel powerful in game and we wanted to make sure in ToM Blitz that players feel the power. It’s really the best of both worlds since it respects players that have a lot of time, as well as those that don’t. We built the game so it is actually really fun whether you’re earning your power-ups by playing a lot and being rewarded in-game for your persistence, or if you are short on time and want the benefits of being a seasoned and dedicated player, you can spent a little to get a short-term power-up. That’s actually not the case with this game. It had to be fresh and new, and most of all be fun.Ī lot of people look at freemium or free-to-play games and think you have to spend money to be competitive and beat your friends. This was one of the main things we wanted to ensure we hit with the PS Vita version. ToM has actually been around for years with its familiar match 3 gameplay, but each generation of the game has added new challenge and power-ups. The first free-to-play game on the platform is Treasures of Montezuma Blitz, the newest game based on the popular Treasures of Montezuma franchise. Overall, I would say give this game a shot.PS Vita is the perfect platform for people on the go with short blocks of time to play games. For example, you are rewarded a silver trophy for playing the game 100 hours.
The only things that I don't like about the game is that it can be hard to know when you are in kicker mode and some of the trophies are ridiculous. The game uses a level up system which gives you unlocks and rewards This gives the game an addictive quality which is excellent. It also adds new game play elements to the original ToM which makes the game fun for people who have ToM experience in the past.
Treasures of Montezuma Blitz makes great use of the Vita's rear touch pad, which is something you don't see very often in Vita games. Also, you don't have to pay for crystals you get them easily enough. The heart system (commonly known as energy in other freemiums) replenishes quickly.
As far as freemium games go, the business model of this game is fair. The heart system (commonly known as energy in other I enjoy this game.
