Root cause

To aid in your journey, you will tame and train creatures to help you in the battles ahead.

This dragon-themed puzzler employs the classic match-three gameplay, but its colored orbs correspond to a specific element that a creature specializes in. You'll be delving into various dungeons and all sorts of enemies, and you will need to take this system to consider elemental resistances and weaknesses in your strategy. Level up your team for more power and unlock team skills for high-damage combo attacks.

As you progress through the story, you will encounter hundreds of creatures that you can recruit to your team. You can also collect resources and materials from quests to create them. Now, as of this writing, it's still months away from the game's expected release. Also, be aware that it will be exclusive to Apple Arcade, so if you want to play it, you'll need a subscription.
