Puzzle & Dragons

Top Pro

Deep strategical gameplay

Despite its looks and being a match 3 game there is quite a lot of strategy to the title. A player can have up to five monsters on their team, which will help them in a match 3 game depending on the attributes of their team. Mix and matching certain teammates may give an advantage over other combinations making for a good bit of strategy when creating one's teams. On top of this there is a way to level up one's dragons as well as combine them, so the constant need to upgrade is there, which can become a balancing act when also making decisions of who to choose for each team position.

Top Con

Boring

The game doesn't have an interesting story. Just dungeons, grind, and stamina system. See More

Bill Yang's Experience

One of the revolutionary match 3 games on mobile device See More

Top Pro

Offers a good bit of longevity

Much like an MMO, there is quite a long tail to this game, people have already been playing it for years and there is still content for them to join in on. If one is looking for a long term game to play, P&D definitely offers that. See More

Gems of War

Top Pro

While it has in-app purchases, it is perfectly playable without them

TranquilPontus's Experience

It is the best ftp match-3 game with new cards consistently being added. You can spend but you don't have to. Lot of options and very fun to play. See More

Top Pro

Easily play multiplayer online

Through asynchronous play users can play their friends or random people easily as each can take their turn when they want, which is convenient for a mobile device that is often not used for hours on end. See More

You Must Build a Boat

Top Pro

Smooth, polished gameplay

Eighty Eight Games took what they learned from their previous title 10000000 and refined it even further while adding new mechanics to make a smooth cycle of matching tiles and leveling up that never gets dull or grindy. See More

Sdorica Sunset

Top Pro

No Energy system

For once you get to play a gacha RPG match-3-like game without any energy system. See More

Top Con

The files are huge and it's quite a large drain on battery

Nimble Thor's Experience

Sdorica by Rayark (the Deemo and Cytus devs) is a fantastic looking story-driven gacha RPG with no energy system and a very unique combat where we have to match orbs, which color correspond to a hero in our team, with each hero having 5 different types of attacks, which makes the combat quite entertaining. It's a bit Match-3 like (but in a good way). Honestly, as with any gacha game, the randomness of unlocking new heroes makes it a bit pay2win, but since there's no multiplayer, it's not a big deal in this game. Would definitely recommend checking this out if you've ever considered trying a gacha RPG. It's a solid game! See More

Cartoon Network Match Land

Top Pro

Noninvasive IAPs

Top Con

Stamina system

spoop's Experience

Great match 3 RPG with team-building and character progression. Has the usual IAPs and 2-currency system, but it doesn't shove IAPs in your face, and it's very playable without spending any money. The only downside is the stamina system, but the game rewards you with stamina boosts often enough that it doesn't really limit your gameplay too much. See More

Block Legend

Great battle mechanics

Block Legend's "match" implementation is incredibly good. You have a large variety of abilities at your command in order to make the most of your battling and have the best chance at succeeding. See More

Top Con

No save function

There's no real save function in Block Legend, so you essentially restart every time. It does, however, keep you coming back. See More
