The series' classic candy-swiping and matching mechanics are still here, but this iteration implements updated design, integral characters, and new modes of play.

While previous iterations have featured various colorful characters, Friends Sagabetter integrates them into the game, giving them a bigger and better purpose. For instance, each character has a favorite candy, and collecting a certain amount of it will prompt a booster to be thrown onto the board. This lets you rack up additional points and climb the mountain to success.

Odus, Mr. Toffee, Nutcracker, Red Rabbit, Tiffi, Yeti, and Misty are featured throughout 380 levels. Even better, Candy Crushhas decided to award these zany personalities with their own backstories. It remains to be seen if this adds anything to the gameplay, but they act as your effervescent, helpful teammates. As you rack up points, you can unlock new styles for the characters you have and new ones entirely.

For Friends Saga, King (the developer behind Candy Crush) has given the game a slick new 3D makeover along with a smattering of challenging elements, such as animals hidden beneath the boards' layers. You'll need to play well enough to complete various goals to free them. In addition to swiping candies of the same type, you can also dunk cookies into chocolate at the bottom of the board.
