Eldershyft
Mythical Match-3 Puzzler
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Eldershyft is a match-3 puzzle game with unique gameplay. Instead of swapping individual tiles, you move entire paths across a hexagonal board in 6 directions, opening up cascades, combos, and strategies.
Set before the days of Eldermyth, you take control of the Curator of Lands to build the mystical Island whilst trying to tame the Beasts that have followed you from your realm.
As you grow stronger, will you choose to focus your powers on board manipulation, Beast management or score multipliers? Or, maybe a combination of them all!
Two ways to play
- Endless Mode: Push for the highest score on the world leaderboard. Survive as long as possible as enemy pressure escalates and the Island becomes more complex
- Challenge Mode: Settle the Island by reaching level 5 on each land type in the least amount of turns possible. Each turn counts even more in this mode
Deep strategy. Pure puzzle
- Cascading matches and board refill from 6 directions reward planning and positional awareness
- Ever changing board from multiple different mechanics at play
- A rich progression system with stackable bonuses, passive and consumable abilities, and permanent multipliers
- No timers. No pay-to-win. Pure strategic depth
Fully accessible
- Complete VoiceOver support with full gameplay narration, accessible drag-and-drop path building, as well as colour-blind and high contrast settings
