Explore an RPG/puzzle hybrid game where matching tiles on a grid defeat enemies and earn upgrades for your character, with gameplay mechanics involving symbol and number matches to power up attacks, unlock new abilities, and progress through dungeon floors.
10,000,000 is an award-winning indie RPG/puzzle game developed and published by EightyEight Games in 2012. The core gameplay involves matching numbered and colored tiles on a 6x6 grid to power up your character's attacks and abilities.
On each dungeon floor, players must match symbols to defeat enemies, unlock new abilities and upgrades, and progress deeper through the dungeon. The matching mechanics provide depth, as creating combos and chains yields more powerful attacks. There is also an element of risk vs. reward, as players must balance matching tiles for offensive attacks versus collecting gems to unlock permanent upgrades.
The RPG elements provide long-term progression, as attributes like strength, magic, and luck can be increased over time. Defeating enemies also earns you gold, which can be spent on passive skills with ongoing benefits. There is also some customization available in terms of equipping your character with different weapons and armor.
With its combo of puzzle, RPG, and roguelike elements, 10,000,000 provides challenging and rewarding gameplay with plenty of variety. Its pixel art visuals and synth soundtrack also help create a stylish and cohesive aesthetic.
