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!

I have problems logging in to play At certain time especially night time. For few hours try to log in but stuck at the connection page. Quite annoying. Imagine that I have more free time at night to play. And I can't log in to page until I woke up in the morning. Pissed. A 5 stars if u can fix this issue. Please try to fix this. Otherwise it's very addictive game. Agreed that it takes a long time to train up team.

When I first played this game, I thought I have found the perfect combination of the 2 types of games I love the most - puzzle + RPG. However, a week into the game, I realized that this game has in fact ended up as the first game I ever regret spending money on - the summon rate for this game is TERRIBLE. Even with events, even with spending money on gems. You cannot get any strong heros & will just end up stuck.

Thanks for your review. Heroes received in a Summon are selected randomly based on different probabilities depending on the rarity. All Heroes included in Epic Hero Summon are in the Event Summon roster as well. All players have equal chances for Summoning and we also consider the system to be fair. May the odds be in your favor in the future!

The game is fun but it takes too much resources (food and jewels) to upgrade something. It gets increasingly too difficult to advance the levels too quickly without purchasing jewels so you have no chance against players who spent a fortune on the game. There is little incentive to keep playing and it doesn't help to level the playing field as it gives your lousy heroes and to play the game either. Much as I enjoyed playing the game, it get frustrating and old pretty quickly.
