Zuma Deluxe review
Exceptional
by Notly

This game is a «hardcore arcade»: despite the simplicity of its concept, it requires high precision and quick reactions, especially in the later levels. Players need to carefully plan their actions and predict the trajectory of the balls to successfully complete the level.

The game became one of the cult arcade hits of the early 2000s and had a significant impact on the development of the genre. The success of «Zuma Deluxe» led to the creation of many similar games and sequels, including «Zuma's Revenge!».

«Zuma Deluxe» - is a classic of the arcade puzzle genre, which remains popular among players to this day. Its combination of increasing difficulty and vibrant visual style has made it an unforgettable game worldwide.

Zuma is a good game of puzzle-game where you have to burst balls by bringing them together by three or more. It is rather long, and quite difficult at times. I regret that there are no other possibilities, because it is too simplistic. Graphically, it's not so bad, it's colorful and fluid. The soundtrack is very simplistic but sympathetic. Playability is simple and effective. In short, this kind of title is not very impressive but remains addictive > > 13/20

I will Not paint the game now, because the people who came here and know themselves. I'll Just say that if the grandchildren in the 2055 year ask me what we played at their age, I will answer that to Zuma. I can argue here, as well as the GTA, Kal of Duti, the COP... But, let's be honest, our GTA and Kal of Douty will be at each generation, and the farther, the more spectacular and graphonyms. But Zuma is not just a game. It's an era. And as the epoch is supposed, it irrevocably leaves. But I'm glad I caught it and can occasionally, by running this game, mentally go back there.

Achachivok No, no cards, screen resolution is shameful. It's Not a game, it's a misunderstanding. Seemingly. And You try! This is the ancestor of the genre, you can say. Not aware of the story, maybe there was something like that, but this game has become a cult. Throw bias in the part of the engraver (play in the window, in the end-800 x 600 is not the worst that happens))) The Game is incredible! I Love her very much, and not even in the wake of nostalgia. I Have small children, spoiled by a graphaphone, with pleasure throw balls! You listen to how perfect the sound of hitting the balls-it is even steeper knock billiard balls in real. I am still amazed, as in such, seemingly, a casual, almost Tetris, it is possible to make a plot, bosses, to squeeze here the same humor and irony? Have You seen the irony in billiards, Tetris or solitaire? And here it is!

Zuma is a good Casual Game. Not suitable For Hardcore Gamers at the Beginning. The Game is still a little pixelated and has hardly any Variety. By that I mean, it's all about shooting off Balls and nothing else. The Levels are getting heavier and heavier and I can say that from Experience. I played the Game very little here on Steam, but I know the Game from my Childhood (when I was 8-10 Years old). There are also more and more colored Balls to go by it, I mean all the Colors of A-Z. I will load the Game onto my Laptop this Year and play abroad during the Holidays. I think this Game is well suited for this as it needs simplistic and no Internet Connection. You can just take a Break in the Level and it's small and compact. My Mum plays this Game on a daily basis and unfortunately I can't comprehend it in this Case. For me, this Game is long-term demotivating, as I am used to First-person shooters, tactics shooters or ARPG. Despite everything, I can only recommend this Game for older People, or even Opportunity Gamers ...
