About the Game

Costly Adventure blends a casual Match-3 game with roguelite elements. Instead of geometric shapes, the player matches the party members to perform attacks. Through talent choices each character can contribute to the battle in their own way. Choose from 4 specializations and make your own build by picking talents and itemization.

World

Going on an adventure to find a mighty artifact is a lot of fun but it is also a costly activity. Especially with Troll guarding every single bridge and demanding payment. The further you go, the more expensive it gets. Luckily, you can beat the gold out of the plenty treasure chests that are laying around. But beware, you are in a strange world and not all chests are just going to sit there and take the beating.
