There are few games in the world that are part of the popular culture of the entire population of the planet… and one of them is Tetris. The Soviet creation of Alexei Patjinov During the 80s, it was one of the great entertainments of mankind on practically every console, computer, mobile phone, tablet and Smart TV worth its salt. Now a new version is announced and we can only tell you one thing: wait, the curves are coming!
Will he finally leave Japan?
Although it is an invention born in the former Soviet Union, there is no other country in the world where Tetris has transcended so much. Japan is practically the homeland of this wonder that until recently it was an exclusive franchise for Nintendo consoles and that, fortunately for the rest of the hardware manufacturers, has managed to free itself from this limitation. the proof is great Tetris effect which even got a VR rendition for Sony glasses on PS4.
Now it has been announced that we will have a new franchise video game, Tetris the grandmaster, a title that will surely scare those who have been playing for a few years and still think they have seen everything in the ancient art of placing tiles and completing lines. Hamster Corporation, within the Arcade Archives collection, is preparing two new versions for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, although has not released an official release date.
And that’s what Tetris the grandmaster it has two qualities that make it unique. The first is that Its release was first produced for arcade machines in 1998. in Japan and it never came out of there (there was an Xbox 360 version), so in the West we didn’t have the opportunity to prove how good we were because, and here’s the second quality, it’s so complicated that you could consider it the “dark souls of the Tetris“. A real surplus.
Tetris The Grand Master, why so difficult?
As we tell you, this game never been out of japan and perhaps that’s why his fame has preceded him ever since, scaring those who like to play the last Tetris that come to market. But in this case, that reputation is so real that if you’re ready to have a hard time, set a goal to see how the grand master Put an end to your self-esteem in one fell swoop.
Because? good to start we will have to complete up to 999 game levels in a progressive difficulty mode that already starts higher than usual. Don’t expect tiles to fall quietly, giving us the option to rotate them two, three, four, and even five times before placing them. In Tetris the grandmaster they go all the way down. It forces you to think in tenths of a second and overcome obstacles more by intuition than almost by ability.
So much so that it Tetris the grandmaster originally boasted a mode called 20G, in honor of the weight of the falling tiles, which do so twenty times faster than normal due to the work and grace of gravity. Only in this variant we will have less than half the time that a second lasts, that is, something more than a blink of an eye and a half, or what amounts to the same , when you see one of these tokens fall from the top, it instantly appears straight down.
As if that were not enough, another of the differences of this title is that when you complete the game it will give you a level of Maestro who will tell you how far you are from being a real expert in Tetris. Will you dare? Will he leave Japan this time?
