To rescue a princess you'll have to raise funds by scrounging in dungeons, swapping and matching gems and other tokens to find treasure, defeat monsters, and level up your party for a familiar but addictive and charming experience.

Ow, my wrist.
More like ow, my fingers. I'm on a laptop...
Finished! (Fanfiction possible? Absolutely.)
One crucial gameplay note: gems and tokens are two different animals, with
gems potentially turning into tokens. They correspond, and stuff.
The mouseover descriptions of in-play power-ups are a little long-winded, so I recommend hitting pause to read/familiarize.
Normally I would balk at match-3s with click-and-dragging, but I immediately spotted it as an extension of Quick Quests ( https://jayisgames.com/archives/2011/10/link_dump_friday_235.php ), that horribly, horribly addictive hybrid wherein five minutes turns into five hours. The framework's recognizable with elements/storyline remixed, retaining everything except the fact that Token Hero has *all* of its dragons... For best results:
Collecting shields works just like QQ, in that it appears you don't experience damage until your shields fail. (I'm pretty sure this is the case, some of the interface mixes me up.) So unlike swords, the shields can be stockpiled.
You also might be able to get more buffed-up token drops if you clear more of them (i.e. when you don't need them), but the frequency of these bigger drops seems uneven -- may or may not be worth it, depending on the situation.
Mechanically speaking, it works a ton better than most mash-up match-3s because out of the corner of your eye it's easy to see when the party stops moving. Difficulty and power-up scaling is nothing to write home about -- though they may matter more to beginners. (And lovers of cute ickle graphics, which is the secret heart of these two games.) The nimble-fingered may be able to take the best available matches at all times, and only worry about targeting when combating bosses.
The thing is -- is there a quality toggle I'm missing? Because why, why, why is this feast of retro graphics laden with COMPRESSION ARTIFACTS. No. No, no. It makes baby Shu cry. From her eyes, which only see how disfigured these 1K graphics are. There aren't many games which successfully mix gradients with pixel-art, so to see this accomplished, and then presented like so? It boggles me because Quick Quests was perfectly fine in this respect. Risk the extra load time, please. I'd much rather break my computer over Jungle Magic ( https://jayisgames.com/archives/2009/09/jungle_magic.php ) than this.
What do I do? I can't figure out what to do on the very first screen - pressing the 'adventure' button doesn't seem to do anything.
While this game could be a little close to 1000000 for comfort, I kind of like it. The one major problem is the difficulty curve, which is basically nonexistent until you hit an absolute wall at around 18 and 19. This wouldn't be a problem if you could go back and grind for upgrade money. Unfortunately, at that point, the upgrades cost 150k+, and the "reward" for re-completing a dungeon that initially gave you 100k is a measly 10k. I'm not going to run a 5 minute dungeon 10-15 times for a single upgrade.
@Mantus I didn't have to upgrade that many times... I only repeated dungeons once or twice, until the last one on the mainland. Make sure
powerups get you a good return on gems:gold
that may make a difference.
I did have to grind at the very end, but the levels are easier in part because
there are no bosses after you complete the game, just a really well-locked treasure chest.
Oh! Okay, now I get it. Clearing gems will give you gold. The reward at the end is more like a bonus. If one is good at match-3, it's no more than 3 or 4 plays to get up to the next upgrade level. At most, in my estimation.
I believe I encountered a bug while completing one of the higher-leveled dungeons. I was battling the boss of the dungeon and used the "treasure box" item that consumes the board and replaces it with new pieces. Only when the new pieces dropped, some spaces were still empty and I couldn't even make any moves. Every other button worked but it was as if the game board "broke". I was forced to lose or just quit the dungeon. It only happened once but I didn't react fast enough to take a screenshot of it.
The final (I hope) boss is just killing my wrists. I'll have to give it another try, with a tablet, once the swelling goes down.
*It wasn't the final boss.
