Amazon releases its exclusive Saber’s Edge puzzle-RPG on Fire tablets

You may know Amazon as that website that ships you industrial-sized packs of diapers and toilet paper, but it is also a game developer and publisher. And the company is expanding one of its exclusive offerings to a new device today.

Amazon announced this morning that it’s releasing the free-to-play Saber’s Edge on Fire Tablets. This is a puzzle role-playing game that studio Hibernum Creations codeveloped in partnership with Amazon. The app has you working to recruit a team of pirates who will help you take on enemies and find treasure. Similar to the Japanese megahit Puzzle & Dragons, Saber’s Edge has players grinding and upgrading their characters in an RPG game while most combat and in-game actions happen in a match-3 puzzler. Amazon has slowly built up a substantial internal gaming business, and it has released a number of exclusives for its various Android-based Fire platforms.
