Tiles of Fate

Review

Clear all tiles by matching symbols with limited symmetrical paths. Use special powers to overcome obstacles.

Tiles of Fate is an unlicensed NES puzzle game developed by Computer & Entertainment Inc. and published by American Video Entertainment in 1990. It was not released on any other platform, so the original release year is also 1990.

About Tiles of Fate

Tiles of Fate is a puzzle game where players remove all symbols from the board before a timer runs out. Removal is achieved by connecting two identical symbols with a line that makes no more than two right angle turns and does not cross other tiles, a rule that makes the gameplay challenging and requires foresight.

Special power-ups hidden beneath certain tiles can assist when progress stalls. These include an ability to clear matching tiles regardless of surrounding obstacles, another that removes blocking barriers from the board, and one that automatically selects an optimal move.

The game also provides a tool for designing custom puzzles, extending its playability. Success depends on strategic tile selection and the judicious use of these helper abilities.
