PS Vita is the perfect platform for people on the go with short blocks of time to play games. The first free-to-play game on the platform is Treasures of Montezuma Blitz, the newest game based on the popular Treasures of Montezuma franchise. ToM has actually been around for years with its familiar match 3 gameplay, but each generation of the game has added new challenge and power-ups. This was one of the main things we wanted to ensure we hit with the PS Vita version. It had to be fresh and new, and most of all be fun.

A lot of people look at freemium or free-to-play games and think you have to spend money to be competitive and beat your friends. That’s actually not the case with this game. We built the game so it is actually really fun whether you’re earning your power-ups by playing a lot and being rewarded in-game for your persistence, or if you are short on time and want the benefits of being a seasoned and dedicated player, you can spent a little to get a short-term power-up. It’s really the best of both worlds since it respects players that have a lot of time, as well as those that don’t.

Power-ups have long been a way to feel powerful in game and we wanted to make sure in ToM Blitz that players feel the power. Whether it’s thorough their hard work in getting setup for a monster round, or through their in-game purchases that put them on an even playing field with the players that can spend their time maxing out the game, everyone should be able to enjoy Treasures of Montezuma Blitz on PS Vita.
Check out the gameplay video below, and download Treasures of Montezuma Blitz – available now and free of charge – on the PlayStation Store.

You had me at Bejewled and Free.

But unfortunately it doesn't seem to be on the Australian PS Store

Is this a US only thing?

**F34R** · 04-12-2012

Dunno about that bro, sorry.

**AaronSOLDIER** · 04-12-2012

Probably is US only like how it was with Rag Doll Kung Fu.

Downloaded this few weeks ago from UK store its not too bad can only play it a few times before it asks for money then you have to wait for your tries to recharge. But ey free in a way

**Beast of Bourbon** · 04-12-2012

Yay, they stole the design from Zuma and the gameplay from Bejeweled/Zookeeper

I won't defile my vita with "scam-games".
"Sorry you've got no lives left, wanna buy some for 1,99$?" -> "No thanks" -> *delete*

It's still free, and entertaining... hardly a scam. So don't download it, don't enjoy it for what it is... your loss really.

**Thorzilla** · 04-12-2012

I enjoy it but it bugs me that I can only play 2 or 3 times a day. I wish I could just pay like $10 for it and be able to do whatever I wanted. Oh well, it's free, and for what it's worth it's pretty cool.

I agree. I ended up deleting the game when it would not let me play anymore.

I know haters gonna hate but i just don't like that "business model".
Oh well...

**Kauldron** · 04-12-2012

Absolutely hate this business model.

I don't mind F2P at all but the way it's implemented here is horrendous. I deleted it the day I tried it out when it popped up out of the blue on the store a couple weeks back.
