Zuma's Revenge is a Match 3 game of the arcade type, meaning you shoot balls (instead of swapping tiles on a board) to eliminate groups of three or more balls of the same color.

The balls slowly move towards their goal on the board. If even one of the balls manages to enter that goal, you lose a life and have to restart the level. If all of your lives are used up, you'll be back at the level where the game last saved your progress (more on that in a minute).

From time to time, a random power-up will appear on one of the balls. A power-up may allow you to destroy an area of balls by firing at them, reversing the flow of the balls for a few seconds, slowing down the flow of the balls for a short while, and so on.

Playing this game successfully requires speed and accuracy over thinking and strategy, and success depends for a large part on luck (RNG), which becomes more and more noticeable as the game progresses. If RNG keeps spawning strings of the same type of balls, you'll be able to finish the level without breaking a sweat. If the RNG gods are against you, you'll not only be replaying the same level over and over again, but often several levelS.

You see, the game only saves your progress every five levels or so, meaning that if you encounter a level you're having some difficulty completing, you'll often be forced to replay some previously cleared levels again and again, as well. As the game gets increasingly difficult and being able to win depends more and more on favourable RNG, I decided to quit at a certain point. I felt frustrated more than I felt entertained.

Zuma's Revenge looks alright; its graphics are basic but colorful and vivid. However, its music and sound effects are awfully repetitive.

I can't generally recommend Zuma's Revenge. Only people who are absolutely crazy about all games in this genre or who played the game when it was released 10 years ago and want to experience some nostalgia should consider buying this game. For anyone else who's looking into playing a game much like Zuma's Revenge but is a lot more fun to play in my opinion, check out Sparkle 2.

Zuma's Revenge has no Steam Trading Cards.

Most of the 14 Steam Achievements are very difficult to unlock and will require many hours of playtime and trial and error, being pitted against RNG. This game is very difficult to 100%.
