60 of 185 · most liked firstI never thought a game I picked up for less than a cup of coffee would be up there with my favorite Match 3 games of all time, but it is. With gameplay that is easy to learn but hard to master, I found myself addicted to The Treasures of Montezuma 4 in no time. Gameplay consists of your standard Match 3 fair, swap the position of the tokens to match 3 of the same color to remove them from the board and score points. The twist comes in with totems and power-ups that you purchase with coins…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish I can give that game positive review, but I just can't do this. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who looking for nice casual game to relax. Yes, it's seems nice and colourfull, idea with totem mechanics sounds very interesting, but there is one big problem: if you want to get reward for your gameplay, you'll need hell of luck. Some levels you can beat only if you lucky. You can get one or two nice matches from very start, got combo and complete level in 10-15 seconds, or you can match…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Treasures of Montezuma 4 is a casual match 3 game that practically doesn't bring almost anything new to the genre - but that doesn't mean the game is bad. While the only difference from other match 3 games is different upgrade system and graphics, this game still is a good casual fun - it's obvious the overused gameplay formula still works. What's unique there is a motivation to match more groups of blocks with the same color consecutively. That triggers special totem events that does…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Treasures of Montezuma 4 is really fast-paced, you're constantly playing against the clock. It's not relaxing, your brain will constantly be on a heightened state of alert!! It's a good feeling! The mechanics are designed excellently, which is what makes it shine so well. Once you're fully powered up by progressing through the game you'll have access to totem bonus's which are activated by creating chains of two or more matches. Each of the totem's has a different bonus effect. You…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Procrastinate by exploding colourful blocks while your personal life crumbles in a similarly spectacular fashion. You can't lose as long as you don't pay attention to the fact, so grab your fate by the horns and match like there's no tomorrow. Life comes and goes, but that Ziggurat won't build itself.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Addictive and a good puzzle game! I recommend it to everyone...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the better gem pop games out there. Excellent power ups and can get overly intense at times in the best way though. One small thing, if rapid flashing colors bother you; you need to stay away from this one.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fantastic match-3 title with as many varieties of mode as anything I've ever seen, the ability to bling out a ziggurat, and ARSELOADS of content and goals to meddle with. When I was gifted this, it was with the phrase "Better than Bejeweled 3" - guess what, he was right. Also has a Quest mode akin to some of the one-off weirdness in BJ3 so yeah, got everything the 'reigning champion' does and then some. Not convinced yet? This game features a match-3 endboss battle vs. Hernán Cortés, who…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very good "match-3" game which combines the popular "match-3" gameplay with a short story, upgrades and multiple different game modes. High replayability due to the fact that you may play the game, then go back to each level and attempt at completing the game with all gold time awards. Fairly addictive, relaxing, but challenging. A perfect game to play whenever you just feel like having some fun beating your own scores.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game, and recommend it to almost all fans of match-3s. It's a very fast paced game, with a cool way of activating special powers. It's a lot like Treasures 3 but with more variety. There are cool cosmetic trophies to collect and also a great upgrading system. I'm only partway done and expect to spend many more fun hours on it. The only reason I can think of for a match-3 fan to avoid this is if they don't like the fast pace. I really like it but I know some people don't. Updated:…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an older game, but still very satisfying to play even now. The explosions are lovely and the game play is very fast paced. It is timed and you have to match quickly to get through most levels, so it is not for the relaxed player. The game has 3 different modes: Story, Quest, and Puzzle. Each mode is fun to play and gives you a sense of completion. It takes quite a while to grind through and get all the achievements. I must have played the puzzle mode (Harvest) over 70 times just…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →BEWARE parents of faith: Massive idol worshipping occurs in this game ! - Bejeweled with idol gods - Addictive like Satan's cocaine - The power-ups are totems... yes, wood. - It can get hard (that's what she said) 9001/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What the hell is this 3D nonsense? I guess it was a victim of that lame 3D trend popular back in 10 years ago. This game is not THAT bad as a standalone game, but as a sequel to a great game is pretty bad, and that makes me kinda upset. -From the visual point of view, everything went worse - bad 3D menu, bad in-game UI design, and spooky 3D characters. -Soundwork is worse here as well, lower overall sounds quality and music is not as good as in the 3rd one. +Gameplay is not that different…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had originally thought this was going to be a thumbs up, but the deeper I got into the game, the more I disliked it. I guess I am about halfway thru, and it has simply gotten brutally hard, with advancement made arduous and grindy. There are two styles of the basic match three game, one is about speed, and the other is about being thoughtful. This game rapidly becomes both, and trust me, they don't work well together. You've got a time, so speed is good, but you also build an array of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a game where I think success depends on your patience and luck, not on your skill because all that you can do matching 3 to 5 tokens. For casual gamers this may be ok as it is just a matter of time pass. But for achievement hunters this may be even tedious if you wish to grab all the achievements. Playing this game for a long time and by grabbing all the achievements, I think, each of the rounds has a game winning set and until you will not get that set you need to try and try. By…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a pure match 3 game with a few game modes. If that is what you want, you will enjoy it. The story is pathetic. Not sure why they even bothered, but the gameplay is fine. Takes patience to 100% the game from an achievement standpoint, but that is not relevant to most players.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really enjoyable casual game but frustrating sometimes. Spent 45 hours to complete it 100%. Collecting all the puzzle reward items was quite frustrating because I got the same items over and over again so I had to complete all of the puzzle challenges about 20 times to get all 3 reward items. Overall fun experience, buy it if you want to have some casual funtime!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is very good Match 3 game with special totem power that you can try to master, or try to be so faaast that you don't need to mastered totems. I recommed
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game constantly gives you hints on what moves you can do and it's so jarring. I can't focus on doing some effective moves because of it. The worst part is you can't disable it. It's like an FPS game telling you which guy to shoot next. Doesn't make sense at all and completely ruins the experience.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Treasures of Montezuma 4 is a fun and well-thought-out Match 3 game that's pleasing to the eye. I definitely recommend this game to players who like Match 3 games and I'd even recommend it to people who'd like to try a Match 3 game and see what the genre is all about. Although the general consensus is that Bejeweled 3 is the best Match 3 game out there, I think The Treasures of Montezuma 4 certainly holds its own with Bejeweled 3. Story There is a story mode, which you'll want to play…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hey, I am a really big fan of match-3 games. But there aren't much games, which can entertain so many hours like the TOM-series. With the totems and the boni you have always the special flow, which doesn't make the game boring. The difficulties and modi makes the game very attractive and challenging. Also I have to mention the awesome background-music, which make the game-fun even more intense. There is a part of a music, which even made me goosebumps. But sadly this part come always pretty…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Would love to say it's a good pastime. It's not because it's lacking in originality of course, but this game is full of little problems that make the experience less relaxing than it should be. The graphics are beautiful, but the various power-ups and backgrounds tend to quickly make the board confusing. This is a major issue to me because I'm not playing 'Where's Waldo', I'm playing a match-3. The music is fine, but after a while it'll either stop playing, or it'll go on a one-second loop…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →VERDICT: Fun, stylish, varied and engrossing, with that just-one-more-go feeling. Games of Monetzuma 4 are fast paced and filled explosive action, with fast fluid gameplay despite a fair amount of repetition. The variety of level challenges ensures that you rarely get bored and the learning curve is just right until you reach a good mastery of each game mechanic, required to complete the game. That and some patience and stamina. Production is excellent and it doesnt feel like you are…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Addictive as hell !!! Three game modes: story, puzzle, quest. Nice music and graphics. Sometimes hard and frustrating. Perfect for playing if you’ve got only few spare minutes. Certainly one to recommend. Wciągająca jak diabli !!! Trzy tryby grania: story, puzzle, quest. Przyjemna muzyka i grafika. Czasami dość ciężka i denerwująca. Idealna do grania, jeśli ma się tylko kilka minut wolnego czasu. Z pewnością warta polecenia.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There is one super huge flaw in game, game suggests you next move way too fast, like after 2-3 secs. Its rly annoying and you can't turn this off. If there were no such option it would be nice game!! Buts its impossible to play when game is all the time showing what to do!! HATE IT!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was a huge fan of the treasures of montezuma 3, and when I saw this game I was excited. Unfortunatley this game does not deliver. It tries to be inovative with new game modes but they are not carried out well and a few of them are too similar to each other. This game is also a terrible pc port there are no graphics or res options and the sound bugs so the same two seconds of the song repeat over and over unless you exit the game entirely.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just too random, you will usually either have no moves or beat the level in 20 seconds with everything exploding automatically. It's also hard to tell what colors the pieces are. There's usually some effect overlayed on top of them that obscures or changes the tint of the gem, and it's hard to tell if what's behind is blue or purple, red or orange, etc. The gems should have been designed to be simple shapes and colors--they're too busy.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Match 3 game. Playing on Expert settings, Overly sophisticated and Complicated. Zero Relax, in too much of a Rush due to the quick transitions and running Clock. Blinding to the eyes. Little control as the automated blastings and explosions based on RNG plays. Extreme grind throughout the Story, Puzzle mode collectibles, lvl 100 achievement, and lastly enough credits to purchase all the pyramid ' decorations ' for one achievement. Game bores me barely one third into it, tedious in Puzzle…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm not a mobile player at all, so I often don't get the comparisons that in these years many reviewers do with games available for smartphones. I'm sort of a super retro player, it's like I'm still living in the '90s (I was born in the '80s I'm not that old ahah).. and match-3 games have always been one of my favourite type of puzzle games to play, although they have a big difficulty to overcome, each one of them - the concept of matching 3, 4 or 5 tiles is very simple so a developer is forced…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I hate to do this i really do, no matter how much i try to give this game a chance after 10 hours of playing it has left me with nothing but a headache, i hbought it on sale for £0.99 and not in a bundle of course i could have requested a refund after 2 hours but i decided to give it a fair trial as it could have been a diamond in the rough .... I selected casual mode as i like to multitask ..... there's nothing casual about this game pretty much every level is random and purely down to luck…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Too much going on. I was actually looking forward to playing a casual game. Set the difficulty to casual and can't hardly beat anything past totem 1. The game adds in too many colors too soon. The powerups sit over the tiles so you can't see what color they are. The timelimit is just too unforgiving for a casual player. I know I'm the minority on this game, but it's just not for me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought this for the Wife to play and she really likes it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can't turn off suggested moves which show after around a second.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ok... so, let me state.. it is a polished game. No faults on the devs. I just did not find it fun or that enjoyable. It was more a slog through what felt like the same game, over and over again. With no restrictions on move and a free reshuffle button, it is literally almost mindless matching again and again on a timer. You get to the point where skill alone doesn't win, so you have to farm upgrades. I beat the game for my own compulsion,but I would not want to take that journey again... so a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like this game, but its no Bejeweled. The animations and graphics can get very busy, you'll lose your cursor way too many times. Personally I got use to the busy gameplay and enjoyed it overall, but it would have been more relaxing if they had simplified the animations a bit. Its easy to get 100% achievements and there isn't any real challenge to the game. I love listening to podcasts while playing games like this, super casual and relaxing. Good price tag compared to overall feel and hours…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sorry I haven't written any Steam reviews for a while, I've been too busy grinding. Yes this game requires you to grind your way to the top. I've seriously done more grinding than Tony Hawk at a skate rink, I've been doing more grinding than my grand pa's teeth at night, and I’ve done more grinding than a Barista at the most famous coffee house in Italy. Just grind, grind, grind and grind. Thanks Alawar!!! https://www.alawar.com/ This 3 match game is a serious improvement in comparison to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall 7/10 I remember the original Treasures Of Montezuma. That was so long ago, I don't even remember where I played it. But it was an interesting variation on Match 3 puzzle games, which I have always enjoyed for time wasting. That said... TToM4 has decently good graphics, not too hard on a toaster like mine. There is an annoying audio glitch which causes the background music to get stuck in a loop during gameplay, repeating the same few notes over and over again. I hated the repetitive…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got this game for 0,62 € on sale and it was worth every cent. First when I started it, I was flashed by the Intro; beautiful story, ok graphics, beautiful music. Levels are entertaining, some are quite challenging and some additional rewards motivate to keep playing even after finishing the main story. Gameplay is action-packed with cool sounds and flashy visual effects, which makes it pretty fun. I can recommend it and I think it would be also worth its usual price of 6,99 €.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very good match game. Treasures of Montezuma 4 is full of puzzles and hours of fun. Easy to learn. Good graphics.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is very addictive and has a cool story to it. Would recommend it to any gem game lovers... :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A solid match-3 game. Bought it for a few bucks. Game has a set of reasonable achievements that makes you want to try all the game modes and play on until you complete them. I finished almost everything by about level 85 so getting to 100 was a bit of a grind as was getting the last 20K to grab the last piece of the ziggurat, but it wasn't so tedious as to make me want to stop. Overall worth a few bucks if you enjoy match 3 games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got so addicted to this game that every time I blinked, I saw coloured gems, no kidding o_O 11/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice match 3 game. It's Bejeweled style matching. There's no time limit but you can earn gold,silver,bronze if you go fast on the level. There's cards and achievements and the price is right (especially in a sale). edit: The more I play this, the better it becomes. There's puzzle modes where doing stuff in the time limit is really challenging; there's lots of different modes including frog mode and water the plant mode! I wish there could be an option to turn off the hint indicator though.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'M A GREAT FAN OF THIS GAME IN ALL IT'S OLDER VARIATIONS. THIS NEWER VERSION IS GREAT FUN!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yeah the game is fun but the fact that you can`t turn off suggested moves is a deal breaker for me. I`m not a fuqking kid.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Does not work on Linux with Proton.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Alawar, fix the Montezuma 3 crashes on Steam version. Or stop selling a broken game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Better than ANY match three on steam AND on the phone. No P2W BS or grinding. Love it, even though I'm not a fan of the genera. EDIT: It lost all my progress upon uninstalling... Is their no steam cloud for this? :( Oh well, still recommend.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not a game to play if you don't want to race against the clock. I thought it might be, at first, because you don't fail a level when you run out of time. And the next level does unlock in the story mode. But you don't get any coins for it. And without coins, you don't get the upgrades that give the fun chain and bonus effects. The levels are pretty much the same in the later chapters as in the earlier ones, they just have higher requirements, so if you haven't been buying enough upgrades…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Perfect, colorful, vivid, amazing way to waste your life. Do not touch this thing — unless this sounds perfect to you.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game teaches you that plain random is stronger than your bestest efforts. 10/10, more important life lessons in casual games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i was plazing the treasures of montezuma 1 when i was little... ITS OVERWHELMING, DONT RECOMMENDS PLAYING FOR 2HOUR STRAIGHT, its good game and nostalgia tho, just 30minutes of playing per day is enough. DONT GRIND THE GAME, most of the aspects are randomized (I hate how get score 150k within minute is almost impossible), but I would still recommend the lesser number. when youre playing it with sound effects, its like being in casino. Its made to overwhelmed you, SO REALLY PLEASE TAKE BREAKS OR…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Treasures of Montezuma 4, developed by Alawar Entertainment and published by ESDigital Games, is a polished and content-rich entry in the long-running match-3 puzzle series. It takes the familiar tile-swapping formula and builds an impressive amount of structure, progression, and variety around it, transforming what could have been a simple puzzle loop into a lengthy, goal-driven experience. You follow the light narrative of Anna, an archaeologist drawn into the secrets of ancient Aztec…
