About this game

Empires & Puzzles is a completely new take on match-3 puzzle games, combining RPG elements, PvE quests, and base-building — topped off with epic PvP duels that range from riveting 1v1 Raids to rambunctious 100v100 Wars.

Start your fantasy adventure today!

• Solve match-3 puzzles

Lead your army to victory by matching colorful shields and unleashing epic combos! This isn't your everyday gem game — matching tiles will not only deal damage to your enemies, but also charge powerful spells that you can fire at the right time to devastating effect. Setting off dream cascades will allow you to take down even the most powerful of dragons!

• Explore 5 full seasons of content — plus many dozens of mythical quests

Prepare for an epic match-3 adventure that will take you through all sorts of worlds for a genuine RPG experience! Will your team be strong and sturdy enough to sail stormy seas, fend against underworld monsters, crawl through sandy dungeons, and slay titanic dragons — while also making tons of new friends along the way?

• Amazing graphics

This puzzle RPG is set in a beautifully rendered fantasy world — you'll marvel at the stunning details of countless monsters, dragons, and other fantasy creatures! Your heroes' powerful magic spells will not only dazzle your eyes but also dramatically turn the tides of wars.

• Base-building

Rebuild the ruins of a mighty castle and turn it into your own war fortress! A finely built Stronghold will provide all the tools you need to farm resources, level up armies, research special recipes, and harness the magic power of gems to alchemically merge various items.

• Farming, crafting, upgrading

Make sure your team is well-prepared for all the adventures out there! Level up your castle and gather valuable resources — such as Dragon Bones and Meteor Fragments — to craft legendary weapons that will help your heroes make it through even the toughest dungeons!

• Hero card collection

Hundreds of legendary heroes and dozens of mighty troops await collection — summon new allies to bolster your team and unlock new strategy options! Each hero comes with their own unique stats and skills — find your own way to merge & match their strengths to victory.

• Train and dress up

Unlike in ordinary hero card games, you can level up your "deck" of heroes — and even evolve their power further by equipping them with costumes that add to their power! The vast fantasy world of Empires & Puzzles will present a wide array of challenges; you'll want to build an army that can tackle any epic match-3 duel this puzzle game throws your way.

• Go on online raids for great loot

Clash blades — and spells — in intense match-3 RPG battles with other empires! Whether you're raiding enemy castles to plunder resources, setting up defenses for your own fort, or going to war together with your Alliance for a real-time puzzle RPG experience, proving your mettle in PvP duels will grant you great rewards that can't be found in regular dungeons.

• Play together

Joining an Alliance to team up with like-minded players will enrich your experience by a thousandfold! Strong bonds will naturally form and evolve once you start playing together — whether it be fighting epic titans, covering for each other in multiplayer wars, exploring treacherous islands full of monsters, or speedrunning dungeons to unlock better loot for the gang.

Start building your Empire now — the villagers of your new Stronghold await!

Been playing for months now. I initially had zero interest in the game itself but downloaded just to get rewards from another app. Didn't pay attention to the tutorial at all (so much text!!) since I was just going to go through the motions for some days then delete the game--but a few days in, I was looking up rules, learning about the different heroes, and researching strategies. This is so not just a matching game. It's strategic, involved, addictive if you want it to be.

tried this game again after years. its become a micro transaction simulator. you get 3 prompts and 40% of the home screen are links to buy items. uninstalling again---descent but gets boring quickly. to enhance 4 and 5☆ units you need to find special materials which are far too rare. this means you reach hard limits very quickly. In a month of playing i found 2 of these items and had need of more than 16. ended up uninstalling the game because it was clearly going no where.

Thank you for your review. High-level ascension materials are rare by design, and especially the epic ascension items are indeed very difficult to get. We are always monitoring the economy, and making adjustments to the rarities in the future is not out of the question. I really hope the odds will be in your favor in the future!

Caution! I played this game for 5 1/2 years. This is a massive money grab. There are almost 1000 heroes, most of which are obsolete at higher levels of play. This means that the $$$ spent to level them is down the drain. Some players spend thousands/month, so if you get into a competitive mood it is very costly to catch up. MANY top players have quit the game in the last year or so. It's so bad that top alliances can't find players.
