"base-builder"

2017 · RPG / Puzzle

Empires & Puzzles fuses match-3 puzzle combat with hero collection and base building in a combination that's immediately engaging and has kept a dedicated player base active for years. The combat system is more strategic than it first appears, and the alliance war mode adds genuine social investment. The gacha hero summoning is brutally stingy with top-tier heroes, the power creep is relentless, and the gap between spenders and free players grows wider with every new hero release.

2019 · Strategy / Survival

State of Survival wraps familiar base-building strategy mechanics in a zombie apocalypse setting and adds a surprisingly engaging hero-driven exploration mode that sets it apart from its competitors. The alliance system creates genuine social investment, and the production values are above average for the genre. The pay-to-win structure is as aggressive as any competitor, free players are cannon fodder in PvP, and the time demands ramp to unsustainable levels for anyone with other commitments.
