Athena Match 2 is a match-3 puzzle game. The goddess Athena needs the player's help once more to collect items in Ancient Greece. Across hundreds of levels, the player earns points, coins and stars for their efforts. They also receive rewards from various sources.
Each level presents one or more boards that contain a mix of coins, gemstones, grapes, helmets, oil vessels, olives, statues, stone patches and other items. The player collects these basic objects primarily by aligning three or more adjacent identical ones along a column or row. Additionally, they collect items by creating super items and using boosters.
The player creates super items when they align four or more basic objects. For example, a five-item line creates a pearlescent color bomb. When the player swaps this super item with a nearby basic one, the pearl destroys all matching ones. The player can also create glowing rope line and cross blasts.
The boosters include double arrows that swap two items, a trident that crushes one item, and horizontal and vertical lightning bolts that collect or destroy basic items across an entire row or column. The player receives a limited number of these tools. They use their coins to buy access to more.
Athena Match 2 presents many different challenges and obstacles. For example, the player must unlock lids on chests, remove ice, chains, ruins, and other blockers, and help special items slide down columns.
The game supplies extra coins and boosters in a variety of ways. The player can open chests on the side of the map's stone path, pop bubbles floating above level number buttons, earn achievement rewards, receive cool Athena gifts, and spin a prize wheel. In some cases, they must view ads to collect their rewards.
