★★★★★Oct 21, 2026

i like to play games

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

Fun but disappointing. A player takes years putting together a team only to have it beaten by a player with 1 normal card at level 1. Obvious rampant cheating where the owners don't care. It's been like this for a while.

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

I'm hooked but it's becoming more difficult to enjoy lately.Too Tough!

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

Power creep. Also dragon raids are unreasonably biased in the defender's favour.

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

Alright, let me ask you this: how are you supposed to win when your puzzle algorithm is garbage? You can’t collect enough mana if you don’t land combos—yet the combos you need to gather that mana are incredibly rare to happen. It’s truly remarkable that you’ve kept this trashy algorithm in place for years, all while just sitting idly by as your users complain. I’m glad I cancelled my in-app purchases. Good luck with those trash.

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

it's a great game. but at this point, I can't seem to log in. supposedly internet connection lost. I had to uninstall it for now. if it continues next month, I may need delete the account all together

Store description

Empires & Puzzles is an innovative match-3 puzzle game where puzzle-solving meets deep fantasy RPG, combining RPG elements, PvE quests, and base-building — topped off with epic head to head duels that range from riveting 1v1 Raids to large-scale 100v100 Wars. • Match-3 battles with real strategy Match Shields to deal damage and power up each Hero's Special Skill, then unleash combos at the perfect moment. Learn the five-element color wheel and turn the board into your weapon. Achieve huge combos to take down even the most powerful enemies! • Explore richly themed worlds — 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? • Hero 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 — discover hero synergies and unlock their strengths to victory. • 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 gather resources, level up armies, craft useful items, train your heroes, and serve as a place of refuge as you fight the forces of evil. • Play together Join an Alliance and team up with other real players to get the best rewards in the game! Strong bonds will naturally form and evolve once you start playing together — whether it be fighting epic titans, strategizing in multiplayer wars, exploring treacherous islands full of monsters, or competing in Alliance Quests, you'll improve at the game, earn awesome rewards, and make friends along the way. • Farming, crafting, upgrading Make sure your team is well-prepared for all the adventures out there! Level up your Stronghold 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 battles. • 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. • 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!
