The gameplay for this sequel is phenomenal. Runes of Avalon 2 features 100 challenging levels for players to master. Quest, Endless, and Time Attack are the three basic game modes. During the Quest Mode you must strategize carefully as you try to solve a puzzle game similar to Tetris with colored runes matching in lines of three or more while being timed. The shapes will appear randomly as you arrange and blow out rows of runes. Each cleared away rune block adds to your bucket of magic.
A meticulous itemized map pops up to guide you through the levels. Endless Mode requires players to repetitively match squares without limitations. Time Attack mode allows you to race against the clock recording your highest possible score.
There are a variety of obstacles and spells throughout the game as well. Stones, close off tiles, and barred areas constricting your path are common obstacles. Spells function as power-ups connected to various pieces when matching or manually through your amulet of magic. Bomb power-ups explode rune areas, transport spells banish particular pieces from the game, and mystical weavings manipulate time. Runes of Avalon 2 features an additional bonus JigSaw game just in case the 100 complex levels aren’t enough.
