    It's a childhood game and im so happy to find a remake for it and in HD 1080p quality and it's fun to play, but you might find yourself after playing it for a bit bored. So i recommend to get it on sale.

    Luxor, in general, is a nice game, back in the days it was one of the best time-wasters, but personally, I prefer Zuma or Atlantis any time any day soooo.... ANYWAY - best part of this game is that HD remake works in 2018 while OLD Luxor 3 simply doesn't work me. It's a good time waster but for the current year, price tag and offered functionality (no steam achievements, lack of in-game diversity) I don't want to recommend this game, especially if you take into account that old games being…

    A trail of different coloured balls are pushed along a track by a beetle, and using a launcher, you must fire a randomly coloured ball into the trail, being careful to place it next to a ball of the same colour. When at least three collide with one another they'll be eliminated. Eliminate all balls (which destroys the beetle) before the trail reaches the end of the track to pass to the next stage. Everything starts off sedately enough as the convoy makes its way slowly along some fairly…

    Very nice game. It focuses on dexterity, anticipation, fast thinking and fast reaction times especially during the later levels. The gameplay is simple, since it's a match-at-least-three-of-the-same-colour type of game, but it adds various boost items that make you change your gameplay accordingly and this adds diversity to something that could very easily get boring otherwise. The music is nice and it contributes to the atmosphere. The graphics are nice as well. All in all I recommend it. I…

    to anyone concerned if this will run on windows 10, yes it will. the original luxor does not, but the hd version does run properly. i've had a couple crashes opening the game, but never any problems while playing the game.

    This game is shiny, but 100% bad design in every other aspect - I loved Zuma, played for many hours (before Steam), this one is so annoying that I want to uninstall before completing it once. This game is best enjoyed if you don't want to complete it, but play the first few levels (6-8). At that point you have 18-20 lives and a lot of suffering ahead. You can get through with 25-30% points earned (all gems wasted), but there is no sense of accomplishment, unlike in Zuma, where you build gaps,…

    Luxor HD is a marble-shooter game in which a trail of coloured balls is pushed along a track, and you need to shoot corresponding coloured balls into the trail to match them and break the trail. Pros: -Simple, relaxing gameplay. Great game just to play as a no-brainer. -Controls feel fluid and responsive. -Backgrounds and theme of game is intruiging. Cons: -The price of R109 (~$10) feels a bit too much for this type of game. -No trading cards or steam achievements. Overall, this is a great…

    It's still Luxor. Sometimes the UI doesn't seem to be designed for windowed mode, I occasionally get an overhang of half a bubble saying "<Achievement Name>". That's my most major gripe, so if that's a dealbreaker, please avoid.

    A modern take on the classics arkanoid and centipede, if they had a baby together, ... yes, I'm old. Shooting balls at a moving train to "match 3" before the train grows too large and reaches the end. It's exactly like Zuma's Revenge, but with ancient Egypt backdrop. The game is simple, nicely presented and held my attention longer than Zuma did. It's simply a casual time sink, with no bells or whistles. Worth trying if you like classic arcade, or casual games, but it didn't hold any long term…

    It looks all fun and colors, but near the end it's getting 'tough as nails' impossible! Whoever is bragging about 100% completing Dark Souls or something similarly hard, I dare you to go and complete the original trilogy of Luxor series!

    Been playing for 3 hours since I picked it up today. This, along with the rest of the Luxor trilogy, is the best childhood games I have ever played as a kid. I didn't know if they were available on Steam until I looked. My mother and grandfather (who are no longer around) also used to play these games a lot as well, which is how I got into it at the age of 7. Really missed playing these games with them :) Runs very well on Windows 11 with modern graphics cards and CPUs (currently using a RTX…

    Entertaining. A simple Match 3 game with a nice level design. It can get intensive. No bugs or crashes. Runs fine on Win 7. A casual game with nice looking graphics and sounds. You can spend hours without noticing it. That's a good game to me.

    BUY THIS INSTEAD OF THE ORIGINAL If you're torn between this and the original don't be. The original copies of Luxor notoriously have issues playing on modern operating systems, the HD versions don't suffer from these issues and are essentially the exact same game, minus some obvious visual/display improvements As for gameplay, it's the original Luxor, if you've played Zuma then you'll know the gameplay, match 3 and watch the trail of balls get pushed back if there's a gap between two…

    Luxor HD is a HD remake of the Luxor franchise of match-3 ball matching games. Using a mechanic similar to Bust-A-Move (which they invariably ripped off to make this franchise), the balls follow a track instead of being stuck together on the ceiling. Otherwise the gameplay is identical. This particular edition crashes immediately as soon as you interact with it, chewing up 100% of one CPU and locking every desktop you have so you need to switch users or log out to terminate the process.…

    What I love about the Luxor HD game is that its visuals are crisper, and the game should be 100% compatible with the Steam Deck. Its fully functional on my Steam Deck. I suggest altering the controls so that you use at least one if not both track pads as a left click mouse. The joystick is too fast for moving the marble shooter part around. Also, this game brought back memories from my childhood. Very nostalgic!

    Luxor HD is a high-definition revival of a classic casual puzzle experience, developed by MumboJumbo and published by Accelerate Games, that leans confidently into its roots while polishing the formula for modern displays. At its core, the game is built around the familiar and instantly understandable concept of stopping advancing chains of colored spheres before they reach their final destination, but it elevates this simple premise through careful pacing, audiovisual polish, and a steady…

    $10 is too expensive imo, best to get it while it's on a deep discount sale or from a bundle. If not, it is a fairly enjoyable game, but only if this type of Match-3 game is your cup of tea.

    It is a pretty good, a timeless classic which many of you might already know and have played. Of course, towards the end the levels get longer and longer, (and harder, of course) but if you play it from time to time at your own pace you'll get to the end. In general, I recommend this one. 7/10.

    Luxor has good fundamentals. I haven't played Zuma, the game's clear inspiration in gameplay and aesthetics, so I can't offer any substantive comparison, but on its own, the concept is sound, and it's designed competently. However, the execution frustrates me. The one and only music track for the gameplay gets on my nerves, it's too ostentatious and doesn't complement the gameplay, yet it will still burrow into your skull through constant repeat. The campaign is also way too long, with 86…

    Definitely one of my favorite casual games. Simple and decently addicting with pretty beautiful graphics even all those years later. Level designs are.. Rather simplistic, which I do not really mind, though I personally prefer the 3D backgrounds of later games. There's some short story if you care for that, but it's mostly about the gameplay for most people, myself included. You just shoot balls into other balls to match 3 of same color. Despite the game being simple, there's a lot of thinking…

    This is genuinely one of the most fun games I have ever played. I have spent countless hours playing this on the family computer years and years ago when I was but a lad, and now I have returned to my roots and I intend to play this like a full time job. It is rare for an older game to stand up and take precedence over newer titles, but this game will never lose its throne.
