The team at 10tons, one of our most favourite of indie developers have today announced that Sparkle 2 will be hitting Xbox One…and it won’t be long before you can get hands on with it!

Arriving on January 27th, Sparkle 2 promises to wow the Xbox crowds in much the same way as Sparkle Unleashed did in 2015 – if you haven’t checked out our review for that, we urge you to do so. It’ll be priced at $7.99 and a 15% launch discount will be in place for the first couple of weeks.

Set in a world of magic and mystery, the match three marble shooter action puzzler will see the player travel through an enchanted landscape in order to find five magical keys. There will be 90 challenging levels with gameplay altering enchantments and breathtaking scenes taking hold.

“We were astonished by the overwhelmingly positive reception Sparkle 2’s spin off title, Sparkle Unleashed, got on Xbox One last summer. We’re confident Sparkle 2 will be equally well received, as the gameplay experience is different enough and the production values are a touch higher.” says Tero Alatalo, CEO of 10tons Ltd.

Features will include:

Superbly polished action puzzle gaming

State of the art special effects

Four game modes: Story, Survival, Challenge and Cataclysm

More than 90 levels throughout the story

More than 90 levels throughout the story Supercharge your Orb Slinger with 16 powerful Enchantments

Immersive mystery storyline with voiceovers

Cinematic soundtrack by the award-winning composer Jonathan Geer

We can’t wait to go hands on with Sparkle 2 and we will of course remind you as soon as it becomes available.
