Tridevyatie

Tridevyatie is a dark Slavic fairy tale where every fight is fought on a match-3 board. Each match is a sword blow, a wall of shields, healing herbs or a handful of gold — and the enemy shows its next move in advance.

The run leads through three acts: the Dark Wood, the Rotten Mires and Koschei's Realm. You pick the road — battle, shop, rest, encounter or treasure; there is no way back. Every act ends with a boss, and the road ends at Koschei the Deathless: his death is in a needle, the needle in an egg — while the shells hold, he cannot die.

Three heroes with their own powers, 45 artifacts and 6 potions, 17 foes and 23 fairy-tale encounters. Large matches create runes that strike a whole area; cascades set artifacts off.

Baba Yaga walks you through the first fight — the tutorial is short and skippable.

Defeat is not the end: sparks earned in a run unlock new heroes and permanent upgrades. Each victory opens a new level of Koschei's curses — meaner foes, richer rewards.
