Sanrio's beloved characters have now ventured into the world of match-three games with the launch of Hello Kitty Friends Match. It may not revolutionize the genre with its mechanics, but it offers a delightfully cozy experience that fans of the Sanrio universe will adore. Dive into thousands of levels, collect your favorite mascots, and embark on a journey to restore the vibrant colors of Dreamland.
Sanrio's branding is ubiquitous, adorning everything from cakes and school supplies to clothes and video games. It's surprising that Hello Kitty hadn't stepped into the match-three genre until now. As previously mentioned in our feature, Ahead of the Game, by Catherine, Hello Kitty Friends Match is now available for both long-time Sanrio enthusiasts and newcomers. The game follows Hello Kitty as she uses the magical power of Starlight to rejuvenate the once dreary Dreamland, all while engaging in fun puzzle-solving activities.
While Hello Kitty Friends Match doesn't introduce groundbreaking mechanics, it doesn't need to. The charm and allure of Sanrio's mascots carry the game, making the experience of collecting them and progressing through numerous levels immensely enjoyable. The game might be overly sweet for some, yet features like an album to capture 'cherished memories' and the ability to exchange hearts with teammates amplify its heartwarming appeal. This cozy approach to the match-three genre is particularly appealing to fans of Hello Kitty and her friends.
