I really enjoy playing Imperial Island Match 3 games, they always pack a lot of features into their games. This is the series that requires you to fill up the cargo trains at the bottom of the screen with specific numbers of resources, but my favorite feature is the multiplying crabs and octopus' that will take over the entire board if you don't make matches next to them.

I really enjoy playing Imperial Island Match 3 games, they always pack a lot of features into their games. This is the series that requires you to fill up the cargo trains at the bottom of the screen with specific numbers of resources, but my favorite feature is the multiplying crabs and octopus' that will take over the entire board if you don't make matches next to them.

When you make large matches, you earn bonuses on the board such as Bombs, Lightning (vertical, horizontal and cross) and Acid Flasks, new bonuses are added as you earn enough money to build the buildings associated with the bonus. Each level requires you to break Silver and Gold tiles, as well as unblock Sand, Stone, Ice, Chained and double Chained tiles, and make matches near Magic Locks to reveal hidden parts of the board. Some items can be clicked upon such as Rings for gold, other items such as gold chests, keys and cargo train parts must be dropped off the board by making matches under them. After each level you are given a large box with several locked compartments that you use you collected keys to open for more resources, gold, silver or even bonuses.

The board layouts are interesting, and there are so many unique features this game offers, bombs with timers, trophies and even some Hidden Object search scenes, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

I am very, very happy that BFG has brought this fun, exciting game to us! I had played the demo on another site a few weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Kudos to the devs for listening to players who expressed dissatisfaction with the second installment in the series. This newest addition captures all the best features of the original game and continues to "build on that foundation". (Pardon the pun, please) You are "commissioned" by your emperor to explore and find new lands on which to expand the empire. When you land on a new island the fun and challenges begin! There are plenty of awards to be won, power-ups (bonuses) to gather and use, a generous number of ways to achieve extra bonuses that are used immediately in the game making your progress even swifter and more exciting.

You will collect gold coins, food and various other resources that allow you to construct a great number of buildings that are used for practical and fun purposes as your expansion of the empire progresses. Each level has goals to meet and if you play in the Casual Mode as I did, there is the option at each level to play that one in the Timed Mode (or you can play primarily in the Timed Mode). I used a bit of strategy to allow me to collect the greatest number of coins and other resources before satisfying the goals on each level. There are special levels called an "Event" or "Search" that will give you extra bonuses every so often.

The background moves gently from right to left as you play, but if you focus on all the action on the game board, it is not really noticeable. (At least I found the actual game play to be absorbing enough to keep me unaware of the background while I played.) The only reason I knew about the background moving was a couple of seconds before the first level began when I was looking things over.

As you progress through constructing various edifices, you will get to a point where you can choose to by-pass one building temporarily to build something else. The game will, however, confirm that you want to go ahead and Play rather than constructing something you already have the resources to build. (I chose to continue collecting what I needed for an Airport before building a Resort.) You will also have the opportunity to upgrade buildings that you have already constructed.

I see quite a few hours of entertaining, happy play in this game that has absolutely beautiful graphics, lovely music, lots of imagination and flawless mechanics. Show less

I recommend this game!

If you've played the other Imperial Island games, you will be very familiar with this sequel.
Basically it's a match three+ game with building units and buildings to further the colonisation of an island. You will encounter various challenges like pink monsters that eat your squares but can be destroyed by matching next to them or by an array of weapons that you earn and charge through the general game play.
Others tests are completing the level by the time level but this can be turned off to play in relaxed mode.
Various targets to meet to complete the level, chase off pirates and defeat octopii.

I really like this game, the graphics are loud and colourful and the game play is addictive (assuming you like match 3 games). There is some strategy involved in deciding which building to finance and build first but otherwise it's an entertaining game of match items to complete the level. Show less

I recommend this game!

I almost didn't give this one a second glance, because of the disappointing second edition. It was horrible. I am so glad I didn't listen to myself. I really enjoyed this one! I've spend the last four days, off and on, playing and just completed it. It was a fun few days.

The graphics were excellent. As you build the expansion of the Imperial Island, it brought back memories of the first game. There isn't a lot of sound with the exception of the music which is on a loop, but it isn't horrible. They added a new twist to the game where it announces you have found a bonus of some sort, but that's about it for sound. The effects were very well done.

This game offers so much. It has not only the match 3, but hidden objects as well. It seems as though they gave me more of those dreaded monsters which pop up out of nowhere and another twist, the green key which inverts the field. Just a word of caution. Be careful when you activate them, because it can get you into a world of trouble. It offers a challenge in the match 3, but the hidden objects are very simple. This is one of the best, if not the best, match 3 I have played.

Not much to the story, of course. You're building the island, fight off dragons, pirates and other nasty things along the way.

I'm really excited about this game and in a few weeks I'll play it again. I was really sorry to see it end. Show less

I recommend this game!

This game is real fun! Wish it could be released more often of this kind! I can play for several hours. I will not tell you the details if there is anyone who reads this and who have not played it yet, but you will not regret it. I suggest that you buy the game so you can play forever!
Good Luck everyone!

If you're looking for a Match-3 with challenge, your wait is over. The game starts off somewhat easy, but as you would expect with a Match 3, it gets progressively more difficult. The game has the option to play in time mode or without time. As you move through the game, you earn power-ups. And the game even has a pretty good storyline. I purchased after playing for 30 minutes.

I recommend this game!

This edition of Imperial Island is as delightful as the first. The second edition fell flat and I was hoping the developers would return to the whimsical magic that made this one of my all-time favorite match three games And they have not disappointed! Hours of match three delight await, with beautiful graphics and sound, a great story line, and engaging characters. Enjoy!

I recommend this game!
