14 Minesweeper Variants

English version of review: Few words about common Minesweeper game. Minesweeper is a logic puzzle game that appeared back in 1992 on the Windows system. The essence of the standard Minesweeper is to open all the mines and numbers on a small field using logic. The number on the field shows how many mines are located around the number, that is, if a cell contains the number 2, then there will be 2 mines within a radius of two, or more precisely, there will be 2 mines on 8 neighboring cells. The remaining cells, respectively, are numbers. The design on the field shows several numbers. Thanks to them, it is precisely necessary to discover the phenomenon of numbers and mines. What I described above are the standard Minesweeper rules. Differences between this game and the common Minesweeper game: The most standard Minesweeper has one drawback, namely: monotony. All levels are as similar as possible, and they also don’t have particularly difficult puzzles that would really strain your brain. This game is different. In total, there are 14 modifications of the Minesweeper in this game, as is clear from the name. The rules change depending on the modification. I won’t say what rules there are in different modifications. Play for yourself and find out. There are both fairly simple modifications and really complex modifications, often requiring in-depth analysis. Speaking about me, the first modifications were quite easy for me. The whole point was caught quickly. However, then I came to the “T” or “Triplet” modification. Again, I won’t tell you the rules of modification, but it is really quite complicated due to the fact that it requires a lot of analysis and there are many nuances in it. I couldn’t figure it out for a very long time, but eventually I got over it. This can happen with any modification, since each has different rules and each one takes time to master. This is certainly a very cool feature of this game, because different rules are not present everywhere and it is possible to switch to another modification with different rules. In addition, the game has some other features. Let's start with the fact that the game has a drawing mode. It allows you to conveniently make various drawings that allow you to visualize the field and, accordingly, it is easier to determine the location of numbers and mines through analysis. Hints have also been added to the game. When you press the hint button, the player is shown cells and numbers that you should pay attention to. It is not directly indicated that these cells contain numbers or mines. However, hints can help you solve the puzzle if you can't find a solution. In addition, the game has two modes. The first mode is standard. With it, it is possible to guess some numbers and mines randomly. Everything works exactly the same way in regular Minesweeper on Windows. However, the game also has an expert mode. The essence of this mode is that if you turn it on, you cannot guess numbers and mines by chance. The player must find them using logic. If it is impossible to determine what is in a cell logically, then the game will simply not allow you to open this cell, giving an error. You can continue to solve any level from the same place where the player made a mistake, or you can start solving it again. If the level is solved without using hints or errors, then it will be completed perfectly. Ideal levels are taken into account in the statistics of all modes. Is this game worth buying? Definitely yes. 14 Variants of the Minesweeper is a very good puzzle. Minesweeper develops logic, attentiveness and analytical thinking. In addition, due to its variety, the game may not get boring for a long time. Each modification in the game is well thought out and implemented; there are various additional tools that improve the gameplay. The game is definitely worth the money. I highly recommend buying the game and trying it out. Русская версия обзора: Немного о стандартном Сапёре. Сапёр - э…

игра хорошо развивает мозг, подумать приходится, но почему я должен перепроходить уровни только потому, что игра не видит правильное решение игрока и говорит, что мина может быть там где возможно 50/50, хотя на экспертном режиме, ну просто не может быть такого как 50/50. Одно скажу, в такие моменты хочется назвать эту игру козлиной!

Wow, I've always been pretty ambivalent about Minesweeper but this super does it for me. Making it a pure logic puzzle really was all it took. Plus, the variants put a super cool spin on it. Really, just too cool. I can tell I'm going to play much, much more of this.
