Treasure Stack is just like the developers say “easy to learn, difficult to master”. If this genre is something you can spend hours and hours on, it might be an interesting buy, but it does have a relatively high price tag. In all honesty, if the game would have been cheaper or would have more content, it would have gotten a higher score but it’s hard to defend the premium price, given the few simple modes.

Critic reviews
- I desperately want to love Treasure Stack, but as it is right now, it’s a colorful sketch of a video game at best. Simply, there just isn’t much of anything to do and a frustrating interface and a seemingly absent online landscape (including crossplay with Xbox One and PC) makes the future for this heavily online-focused game look bleak. Maybe someday this could be a richer, fuller experience, but it isn’t right now.
- 8.0Treasure Stack‘s unique twist on a familiar genre makes for addictive and engaging gameplay – but it’s not going to be for everyone. Getting to grips with the game’s quirks takes patience, and becoming good at the game will take a hell of a lot of practice. But once you get into the game’s rhythm, it’s hard to put down.
- 4.5Treasure Stack attempts to stand out on the basis of its concept mashup, but fails miserably to do so. The game’s difficulty curve is far too steep after even just a few minutes, with the overall product further hindered by its tedious structure and its lack of depth and refinement. Fans of block droppers that want a competitive online experience will no doubt find some value here, but I would caution against getting your hopes up.
- 6.2Treasure Stack, for me, was a bust. I wanted to like it, but the mechanics just frustrated me more than it created a sense of achievement when I pushed through. Those who like puzzlers will probably like it, although I imagine some may share my concerns. In a world where Tetris 99 exists, I just don’t see why somebody would settle for this.
