Match Village Reviews
Match Village is a fun, small casual game built by a solo developer. However, issues like camera control make it challenging for players to enjoy it more. Still, it’s a pleasant experience in short bursts. Match away!
The Match Village proposal is indeed interesting, but it could bring more basic features for players, such as presenting the nomenclature of each available building, even if it were in a guide menu; because confusing some similar houses can ruin a game for a while. The need to move the camera all the time is also a little frustrating, which can turn the mission of populating your village into something stressful.

When it comes to Match Village, here’s what I can say: it’s here, it’s cheap, it’s decent enough as an engagement piece and you can suggest it to anyone without the risk of offending them. Looking for something else to occupy your thumbs while you and a friend/loved one/forced roommate move through the latest season of Survivor? Then come make some cozy pairings with Match Village, and see how far you can move your island along before you decide to get up and move on from it.
Match Village is available for a nice price. It doesn’t offer a visually wowing experience, but it looks colourful and clean. Though placing the tiles is a strategic challenge, there is no deep puzzle gameplay mechanics to consider. Surprisingly, I found the gameplay very relaxing and rewarding. Just place the tiles in the best way you can and see how far you can progress. The sounds of plopping down a tile and getting new tiles as the structures combine are very satisfying. For this little game, made by a solo developer, the name Match Village is well chosen. Get to matching, and populate your islands in the process.
