Collect and assemble powerful heroes, build your base, and fight monsters
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!

- cody Adler · v88.0.2
the Facebook ad made this look like a shooting game where you go left and right and kill enemies and upgrade your troops. I downloaded it and found that it was just a gem matching game, which is definitely not what I was looking for. false advertising
- Roderick Smith
Hopefully hope to get some new heroes and Ralfelle....same heroes everytime being pulled by the same heroes that I already have
- Desiree Santiago · v88.0.2
it's a awesome game
- Dumuri Basson
my game started over as if I never played. what the heck
- LR S · v88.0.2
very enjoyable
- Chavo Thegod257 · v88.0.2
The user interface is awful. every time you open the game. 3 promotions they're trying to sell you. there's so many promotions that you can't even interact with your base. I literally have to click multiple things just to trick the interface so that I can select the food from my farms.
- Drew Yates · v88.0.2
although confusing at times it keeps you on your toes. It just isn't my cup of tea really. I get to anxious when playing.

- Aminali Paridad
EDIT: I hate this game. It actually sucks once you get to level 10 in exp. Avoid this at all costs. Im done with it. OG: EXTREMELY pay to win. But I'll be damned if I say this game doesnt have great artwork and hero concepts. I absolutely love the inclusion of heros from all kinds of cultures. Seeing african style characters along with Japanese folklore is honestly so refreshing. I mainly just like this game for the artwork.
- Irena Fletcher (Feline Ignorance) · v88.0.2
Over 9 years. What can someone say about the game? There's a community unlike any i had seen before.
- Jeremy Worley · v88.0.2
The absolute worst game ever, and the game management is as bad as it gets
- Ahmed Alkasabi · v88.0.2
Fun at first. Has an option to play ads to get special characters, the ads never work. they always say loading new ads.
- Briana Reed · v88.0.2
Been playing for years. I had to bump it down to 2 stars from 5. The reason is because lately every matchup I get is lopsided. When I battle a weaker opponent, for some reason I lose. it's not a one time event but it's been happening a lot lately, if not, all the time. I don't know what's going on but I feel like all my upgrades or maxed out characters can't even defeat a lower level opponent. Sucks that I have to write a bad review but they're taking away the fun out of the game.
- Chris Garcia · v88.0.2
very fun
- Peggy Page · v88.0.2
a fun way to make alliances and build an army. Lots of free items available every day. if you purchase you will get even more of a boost. I've been playing for more than 5 years and it's still my favorite game!
- Melanie Edwards · v62.0.1
I have been wasting good money in this game for 8 years. After ZYNGA bought the game it went to trash. The amount of money it takes to stay competitive is ridiculous. New ( spenders) are quickly stronger than me because they get good heroes to keep them spending. I am a level 113 and a leader, and a little level 39 can kill me. I have 160 5* heros completed, that was lots of $$ to not be able to compete. No more spending, don't install this unless you have lots to spend. Zynga fix this mess!
- Donna Gruhn · v88.0.2
I love this game
- Sabrina Obrien · v88.0.2
mother fkr event giving me 3 star heroes old heroes and saying that there are two into chance for getting fine into heroes an element fight why are you giving five colors when there are only four colors.why giving you 1 star I bought some tokens but didn't get 5 star heroes giving me offers but didn't get 5 star max 4 star😞after spending 💰 then also not working it's makes money bad very bad strategy to make money for not giving 5 ⭐ hero still 8/2026 3 star repeated heroes are given
- FAMS LXN PATEL · v88.0.2
I lost my account and they want me to show my first time I bought from the Empire and puzzles game my first receipt from the game how can I get my game back
- Brian · v88.0.2
ONE OF THE STUPID GAMES I'VE EVER SEEN. I give it ZERO STAR. It's hard to get a legendary heroes, your prices are to hire. Fixed ride matches, Pay to win. Everything about this game makes no sense. It's just all about making money...
- Sbongumusa Macion Dlamini · v88.0.2
I like the game, but I DESPISE the fact that there is no way to turn off the annoying music & sound effects. I would play a LOT more if I didn't have to listen to that & could continue podcast & background player.
- Amanda Bealmear
Great game.
- Michele Willyard · v88.0.2

Pretty decent matching gane, but takes eons to get viable at, UNLESS you $pending a LOT of money! PLUS, the game's NOTHING like advertised!!! it's basically like every other Candy Crush!!!

- AHMEd 123 · v88.0.2
a rigged money grab. the game used to be fun but now when you charge customers $30 to summon 10 heroes and your odds of drawing a solid hero are 10 times worse than your odds are to go win on slot machines. I far too often have gone 50+ all the way up to just under 160 summons without pulling a decent hero that will even barely keep you relevant in battles. I know of a couple guys that play this game and they all pull the best and newest heroes... but they also spend over $1000 a month

Cool game to pass the time.

don't get into this game like I did, the" board decides who loses and wins, I made in app purchases, I feel I am robbed.,.,.this is a suckers game, the more I lost the more I paid money to get my team better,....these are dis honest people at empire and puzzles.
- Scott · v88.0.2
do yourself a favor before you install this app! ask yourself if you like to waste money on a game that is built to relieve you of your money! Great game if your just looking to waste time but unless you are willing to spend, be prepared for a huge letdown!
- Dave Sorensen · v88.0.2
Super fun and engaging. Very smooth gameplay, an awesome variety of characters. Highly recommend this game.
- Autumn Rose · v88.0.2
this game is pure chances.. even the winning depends on it.. if you win streak the gameplay will decide to give you rubbish board so that you will lose.. this will foce you to use gem

the game is unfairly unplayable. fix the Raid match making system
- Tarek Samy · v77.0.1
Very addictive and easy to play espeacially auto play is helpful whenever I can't see obvious matches or just do whatever I want when I'm not looking on the screen.
- J.A.G. 2021 · v87.0.2
I just started playing. im not sure what to do though when it comes to level up your heros
- Amanda Smothers · v87.0.2
Good game
- K.A. Al-omari · v87.0.2
wish y'all would make more games like this I play just about every game like this
- Kyle Fox · v87.0.2
down rated game, not additive just a time passer! new summons at times, same old characters! you purchase to want new characters, same old characters!! this game is a waste of money!!
- Hummingbird2026! · v87.0.2
So im install this game again, just wonder what will change after im uninstall it last time, but again im disapointed where still doesn't any change! But mostly MUST PAY EVERYTHING TO BE STRONGER!! less fun, less excitements!
- Greg Avigen · v87.0.2
very fun game
- Laura DeLaPaz · v87.0.2
waste of time and cash.
- Brian Chalmers · v51.0.0
I lost my streak because the website was down, and the streak icon isn't always available causing more breaks in streaks
- blacc jacc 21 · v87.0.2
very entertaining and challenging enough to keep me playing plus the story line would make a great movie or series
- carlos ortiz · v87.0.3
it's a very fun game.I love the strategy in the game .
- Edmund Hilgen · v87.0.2
fun game but moves kinda slow
- B sr · v87.0.2
yeah after much time playing it's an okay game to play. but game wise its kind of negative on keeping the game fair for everyone 🙄. majority of the game is pay to get better and thats just a scam in plain sight !.. and also for these summons you all should make it to where if its goblin summon only goblin kind of heroes and so on with the others. its a major buzz kill to get old outdated heroes of 2 or 3 or 4 star 🌟
- Darius Hazel · v87.0.2
Playing since 2021: It was great fun in the beginning but they lost the fantasy charm by catering to too many styles and cheap AI addons. When you mix cartoon, veggie heroes and a million costumes to make it a mishmash of genres - It loses the thing that made it special. Just make a steampunk game using the same engine. Just make the (poorly orchestrated) dragon world it's own game. I wish they hadn't diluted the original game to death.
- Attatudinal · v87.0.2
Can you lower the amount of Gigabytes/GB used in storage. Also it's not acting right it's loading slow at times and it kicks me off the game.
- Flames The King Phoenix · v36.0.2
Great I love it!
- Dawn E. Forbis · v87.0.3
I have been playing this game everyday for many years now and it is a pay to win game for pay to play[P2P]users. means no success in the game at all if the player doesn't spend money on a daily baisis, thousands of dollars just to compete and a get to a decent rank. it is a very expensive and with very extremely minimal progress if no spending$ daily. Anchor on YouTube explains on his video why he quit and it is something that every single player I've known have gone trough, must watch video.
- Christian Master Barber Stylist · v87.0.2
I love this game. Very addictive.
- Brenton Barker · v87.0.2
I enjoyed playing the puzzles, the game is micro transaction based, they do give some freebies here and there, the random card draws are usually bummers, and the plating screen is lined with their store ads and covers resources so you cant get to them. The customer service is horrible, so dont have anything go wrong.
- Alison Hollingsworth
DESIGNED TO FRUSTRATE YOU INTO SPENDING MONEY! This game used to be decent even with its flaws. These days they don't care about anything but how much money they can squeeze out of you. The "new content" sucks and each new batch of heros is stronger than the last so if you stop spending, you will no longer be relevant. If you think you're so good at match 3 that you can FTP this.. WRONG! Go ahead and try. Algorithm is rigged to favor paid players and multiple content creators have proven this.
- Brent Noll · v87.0.3
I don't want to update...if I have to, I'll uninstall it 🤨.

- Anthony Cook
I have been playing this game for over 3 years now. But I haven't comment or reviewed at any moment till know.. The new update that was released recently is making the game feel slow. It take slow to log in an it take to long to lock in any moment of the game. Please fixed whatever you have done.. I want to enjoy the game after long hours of work the old fashion way pleae
- Dazell Bock · v40.1.1
congrats to the devs for keeping a game going many seem to have abandoned. still fun for what it is. need more summons
- Leroy H · v87.0.2
very meh and boring. one of those games where the Hud is crowded with shortcuts to their paid content 9 things you can click on that'll ask for real money not to mention the prompts that auto open disgusting. Manage to get a good pull? prepare to be told you can't use the items you just got because you're not at a certain level. slow painful grind for no good rewards.
- Garric R · v87.0.2
An enjoyable game from the start. You level up your characters and go to battle. You can also create your empire.
- Kammy Rivers
I've been playing this game for a couple of years and I do spend money on it. The only thing keeping me playing is the people in my Alliance. That being said.... 1st. The game developers SUCK! They only create "new" stuff in the game that will generate more money grabbing offers. Like Dragonspire... It is the EXACT same game within a game and is poorly done! Lazy. I can't write a full review with the space given... Don't spend a dime in this game. Small Giant - Big Profit developers.
- therep49er · v87.0.2
it is a little difficult but that's what makes it fun.
- Daniel Nelson · v87.0.2
fun and easy going
- Alex
it's been a couple of months that in the middle of playing the game takes me out if this is not fixed I will delete the game
- Reyna Isabel Acosta Cabral · v87.0.2
not bad, not notable. passive resource farming meets an inverse match 3 style, where combat solely relies on if you have the luck to get the right colors in the right lanes to attack enemies, which is... inconsistent at best. and the home page has 11 different ads for purchase constantly in the way of the actual game. each some different thing, but theyre just IN THE WAY. its just designed by a moron that never played a mobile game, let alone their own game at that. its blatant. C+ at best.
- Jude V. · v87.0.2
easy and enjoyable game

After every update there's always some kind of issue collecting the daily streak .
- Travis Long · v87.0.2
Since the update I got today multitasking seems to have stopped working. Used to be able tohave farming sessions running in auto in split window whilst web browsing or reading a book in the other. Now as soon as the window loses focus it pauses the autoplay. Thats a big issue to me because it means farming greatly drops in productivity because eyes are off the device.
- Jim C · v87.0.2
I've been playing for years! I totally love it. Great challenges it's win or loose you are rewarded for participating. Find your Tribes here . The alliance Take down a big Titan together & go to alliance vs alliance war. You win more ways than one.
- Michele Vazquez
good game ehh everything bit expensive but if u grind at it u can get bit far into the game except fighting other player is hard if u don't spend money lol
