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.

Key gaming highlights include:

  • More than 200 unique heroes for players to collect and upgrade.
  • Fast-paced match-3 action with special attacks unlocked by matching similar tiles in unique combinations.
