Puzzle Combat - Match-3 RPG is a free puzzle game for mobile developed by Zynga. It is a match-three puzzle that features a sci-fi setting and action-oriented combat elements. In it, players take charge of a group of heroes as they face and survive relentless waves of zombies.

Much like Puzzle Quest 2 and Magic: Puzzle Quest, Puzzle Combat - Match-3 RPG takes the tried and tested puzzle matching formula and injects action and RPG elements into it for a more immersive and complex gameplay. The experience is further enhanced with interactive online multiplayer PvP.

Puzzles and zombies

In a nutshell, Puzzle Combat - Match-3 RPG is a zombie action puzzler wherein the world is under threat from an army of zombies. You will lead a team of heroes and be tasked with stopping the undead attack from approaching any closer. Experience a sprawling story-driven campaign that spans multiple locations and will have you meet all kinds of characters in the fight to save humanity.

Puzzle Combat offers a unique roster comprising hundreds of heroes drawn from both dark fantasy and sci-fi realms. Choose from and train close-ranged brawlers to long-ranged shooters and even magic wielders complemented by a wide range of weapons to unlock and equip. The game also features base-building elements that have you collect resources and put up structures to support your survival.

Aside from the online multiplayer that allows for massive 30v30 PvP battles, you can also take part in regular in-game events for a chance to get special rewards. You can also form or join an alliance and go on boss raids. All that said, character progression is slow in the game and can get very grindy in order to gain some ground and remain competitive with others.

Fun and engaging

If you like match-three puzzle games but want something more action-oriented, then you should give Puzzle Combat - Match-3 RPG a try. It adds combat elements to the gameplay for a more fun and engaging experience. There are plenty of heroes and weapons to collect, and various activities to do aside from online PvP. This one gets an easy recommendation.
