About game
Puzzle fans who enjoy testing their wits will find plenty of challenges in Raider. Your mission involves hunting for precious relics by applying strict logic to clear grid-based fields. You must locate hidden items while ensuring they never touch, which requires careful planning of every excavation move. Successful digs yield raw materials that you combine later to create valuable items in your atelier. Crafting these items allows you to fill your personal collection album and track your progress through nine distinct global locations. Selling your findings to the right buyer earns you enough currency to upgrade your gear and expand your reach. Mastering this logic is the only path toward finding the rarest treasures buried in deep sites. Play Raider right now in your browser without any downloads or registration.
