Luxor is a simple game, one which many zuma fans would find familiar. It’s a fun game to play to pass time, when you have nothing else to do. Luxor is basically a chain-bursting game, but this edition offers numerous differences from the Luxor Pharaohs Challenge game that is also available on tThe Wrath of Set. When the balls reach the temple, you lose one life and start over. So you’re probably wondering how to stop the balls from reaching the temple right? Well you have to shoot another colored ball into the path so that a group of three balls of the same color is created. When that happens, thehe PSP. A number of colorful balls line up to travel from one end of the track to the temple at the other end in Luxor: group will disappear, and the chain moves back and closes the gap.

Doing that, of course, will be the easy way to finish up, but it’s also the low scoring way. Now the real trick to the game is to create a chain of the same colored balls and make them burst at the same time. You can do that by arranging the balls in such a way that if one group bursts, it automatically forms another group and so on.

While Zuma had a ball launcher stuck at one point which could be rotated, Luxor has a launcher that is movable, at the bottom of the screen, and launches straight. You need to consider timing when launching a ball, and with a little practice, you’ll be awesome at it in no time.

Luxor: Wrath of Set is an entertaining puzzler, with a couple of hour’s worth of good gameplay. It provides solid entertainment, but can get a little too simple sometimes. The game could have been more solid, with some more difficulty settings or the likes, but it’s a bit too simple sometimes.
