Activision Blizzard’s King would like to immerse us in match-3 games forever, and a lot of people don’t mind that. The latest example is the company’s newest match-3 title, Farm Heroes Super Saga.

In this game, you can match three pieces of fruit in a row to score points. I played about 21 levels, and it’s got happy music, colorful graphics, and nice sounds. In other words, it’s a lot like the other games in the Candy Crush Saga franchise, which have generated billions of dollars in revenue from casual players and enabled King to sell itself to Activision Blizzard for $5.9 billion last year.

Farm Heroes Super Saga is a sequel to Farm Heroes Saga, which debuted in March 2013. In this latest title, you can get four pieces of fruit together to form a “Super Cropsie,” which gives you bragging rights at the local fair, where you have to compete against a cheating raccoon named Rancid. The game has more than 200 levels already available at launch, with more coming over time.https://www.youtube.com/user/FarmHeroesOfficial

The game has similar monetization to other Candy Crush games. You get so many moves to achieve a certain number of matches. If you do, you move on to the next level. If you don’t, you can buy some more chances with virtual currency. And when you run out of virtual currency, you can replenish it with real money.
