About game
Slavic folklore hides dark secrets behind every tree and muddy swamp. Tridevyatie turns these ancient myths into a tense puzzle battle where your logic decides the fate of the realm. You solve match-3 puzzles to execute sword swings, build defensive walls, or brew healing potions against sinister forest beasts. Seeing the enemy intent before they strike adds a layer of strategy that keeps every turn feeling vital. Matches of four or more tiles generate powerful runes that clear sections of the board instantly. Cascading tiles trigger your collected artifacts to turn the tide against relentless bosses like the legendary Koschei. Dying does not mean failure because you earn sparks to upgrade your heroes and unlock permanent bonuses for future runs. Every victory increases the difficulty, adding layers of curses that demand better planning and sharper skills. Play Tridevyatie right now in your browser with no download required to see if you can break the needle and defeat the deathless king.
How to play
One swap per turn. Tap a tile and then a neighbour, or drag a tile towards one: three or more in a row is a match. Mouse and touch work the same way.
Sword — 2 damage to the enemy, shield — 2 block, spark — ability charge, herb — healing, coin — gold. Rot and Koschei's needle give nothing: clear them off the board with a match like anything else.
Below the enemy's name is its intent for the next turn: an attack with a damage number, a defence or a buff. Block lasts until your next turn — bank shields against the hit.
When the charge bar is full, the ability button under the board lights up. Potions are used with a button right in battle; artifacts work on their own while they sit in your bag.
On the map, tap an available node to move on. The "?" button in the corner of a battle opens the help, and the menu has the same under "How to play".
