Sanrio's influence is undeniable, touching everything from cakes and school supplies to clothes and video games. Surprisingly, it's taken this long for Hello Kitty to enter the match-three puzzle genre, but the wait is over with the launch of Hello Kitty Friends Match! Previously highlighted by Catherine in our Ahead of the Game feature, this game is now available for both dedicated Sanrio enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
In Hello Kitty Friends Match, players join Hello Kitty on a heartwarming journey to restore the gloomy Dreamland using the magical power of Starlight and engaging in delightful puzzle-solving. While the game's mechanics might not introduce groundbreaking innovations to the match-three genre, the inclusion of beloved Sanrio mascots adds a unique charm. Players can collect these iconic characters and navigate through thousands of levels, making the experience both familiar and enchanting.
**Friends Forever**
The game's sweetness might be overwhelming for some, yet features like an album for preserving cherished memories and the ability to exchange hearts with teammates emphasize the communal and affectionate spirit that Sanrio is known for. While this cozy approach to the match-three genre might not appeal to everyone, fans of Hello Kitty and her friends will find it a comforting and enjoyable addition to their gaming collection.
