Dragon Portals is the latest Windows Phone 8 game from 10tons that is a little on the scaled back side when compared to other games the company has recently released to the Windows Phone Store. And that's not a knock against Dragon Portals because it's a fun, challenging puzzle game to have. You are tasked with freeing dragons from the holds of dark magic. You do so by solving puzzles to free them before they crash into the ground. Dragon Portals may not have the oddity of King Oddball or the shoot 'em up action of Boom Brigade 2 but it's a nice addition to the Windows Phone gaming library nonetheless.

Jumping into the main adventure mode you are tasked by solving the game puzzles before the dragons fly into the ground. Dragon Portals has over seventy levels of game play that are spread across a map of the gaming world. From the map view you can view your achievements and jump from level to level as they become unlocked. You can also select which earned powerups you would like to use.

The puzzle game itself has a bit of a Bejeweled feel in that you are trying to match three or more same colored orbs to remove them and keep your dragons flying. You create the matches by dropping orbs down from one row to the next to allow for the matches to be created. The game screen has your elevation banners scrolling along the right edge of the screen, your score in the lower left corner and your progress bar running across the bottom of the screen that fills as you complete the matches.
