Zynga has today announced the launch of Puzzle Combat, the follow-up to the hit Empires & Puzzles, on both iOS and Android.
A modern match-3 mobile game that brings action RPG elements to the genre, the zombie-themed game allows players to recruit heroes, build bases and compete in Player-vs-Player battles. Puzzle Combat is developed by Small Giant Games, a subsidiary of Zynga.
Puzzle Combat is developed by Helsinki-based Small Giant Games, a subsidiary of Zynga Inc. and the studio behind the hit game Empires & Puzzles.
In Puzzle Combat, players will immerse themselves in battling enemies from the dangerous Dread Army with power-ups by creating unique match combinations. Players recruit spies, medics, demolition experts, and more to fight on their side, each bringing unique special attacks to the fray. Players will also design impenetrable bases by constructing and upgrading buildings like foundries, workshops, training schools, and quarters.
“Puzzle Combat gives players the rush of commanding the ultimate squad of heroes, all through the familiar fun of a match-3 experience,” said Jose Saarniniemi, Managing Director of Small Giant Games. “By combining key elements of Empires & Puzzles with a new, modern combat-themed game design, Puzzle Combat immerses players in a dynamic, action-packed virtual world filled with zombies. Following today’s release, we expect Puzzle Combat to build a community of engaged gamers with additional themes and upgraded features designed to appeal to players around the world.”
Puzzle Combat matches players in PvP battles with other players around the world. To achieve combat dominance, players summon hundreds of individualized powerful heroes, each with unique abilities, and collect different weapons to upgrade and use in the field. As players progress, they can also join alliances to share the best tactics and compete in challenging team events to promote their heroes, advance together and form the ultimate fighting force.
