The Korean comic becomes a puzzle game
True Beauty is a free puzzle game tying in with the Korean online comic series of the same name. Your job, taking on the role of a shy young woman, is to solve a series of puzzles against various CPU-controlled opponents to ensure that she finds happiness.
At its heart, True Beauty is a match-three game similar to Candy Crush Saga for Windows 10 and Farm Heroes Saga. The main way in which it departs from these is in its heavy story element. It's designed as an interactive comic, with a love story unfolding as you play.
Solve puzzles to progress the story
With animated comic panels, True Beauty is framed as a love story where the main character, Jugyeong, is put into various awkward situations. Her first scenario is when she bumps into the attractive Suho without wearing makeup. Each such conflict is used as the basis of a match-three puzzle game. If you win, the heroine comes out on top.
Play against digital rivals
The puzzle portion of True Beauty is simple, being the sort of match-three game that will be familiar to anyone who has played Candy Crush. That said, it has a twist in being a two-player game against a CPU opponent. The idea is to make the right moves to earn a bigger score than your rival.
Extra gameplay features
Certain features separate the game from more basic match-three titles. If you manage to match more than three shapes, you're rewarded with an extra move before your opponent takes over. The game also features double-edged shapes that spread across rows and columns, boosting your score.
Will appeal to fans
The ideal audience for True Beauty is fans of the original comic franchise. For those unfamiliar with the characters, it will be a little different from many other match-3 games. Still, the stylish comic graphics add some novelty value.
