About this game

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. Achieve huge combos and learn the elemental strengths 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 varied fantasy worlds for a unique RPG experience!

• 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, and train your heroes.

• Play together
Join an Alliance and team up with other real players to get the best rewards in the game! 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 in-game 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 to craft legendary weapons.

• 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!

• 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!

Empires & Puzzles is the perfect game for:
- those who get bored with casual match-3 games like Candy Crush and Royal Match
- those who used to play hardcore RPG games such as Raid Shadow Legends and Diablo but didn't want to make the time investment
- those who are looking for a new long-term game that can turn into a lifelong hobby
- those who are looking for real connections with other players. The official E&P Discord server has tons of alliances searching for members and they might just be looking for you!

Drop rates for usable characters are still pretty low. They’ve added more ways to summon, which helps, but it doesn’t really change how often you actually get something good. Ascension materials are very rare. You can grind for them, but it takes a long time (months) unless you’re spending money. oh.. and the new direct pay option feels a little creepy.

I mean..... it's a bejeweled clone. It's nothing special. It's fun enough for a while, a good time killer. But it's all loot boxes. The game will give you the exact same heros over and over again even if you spend money. And the ones it gives you kinda suck. Tons of "special offers" and "deals" on things that are a very clear ripoff that won't give you what you want. And the more they add the less interested I am.

game could be more fun than it is.. what I've noticed is that the time it takes to actually make progress is slow. the game is very pay to play. the time it takes to get enough energy to actually battle is half a day. if your not paying for the tokens then just wait it out. find another option. show these developers that players want to play. not just be forced to buy.
