not bad...
but theres room for improvement. a storyline would be nice. more upgrades...oh and the guy below is right on a few things. there is strategy but not that much. this is more of a reflex and luck game. its good though!
Reviews for "Puzzling War"
It's Alright
While the game, at heart, has an interesting idea, difficulties in the execution lead to the game playing out as underwhelming.
I honestly love the art style, and all of the character art is extremely well done, but trying to find moves when half of every tile is characters' hair gets old really fast, especially when some units are extremely close in color to each other.
Secondly, there is no need to purchase the Sword, Armor, Potion, or Statue upgrades, and in fact makes the game harder as far as I could see. The play space is simply so limited that if you have more than 5 types of tiles, you are too likely to get a board with no moves and be forced to sit for three seconds while you get attacked continuously.
There is no "Strategy" involved in this game aside from matching tiles faster than the CPU, and if you can do that, you can win. The only reason I had issues with the last battle was because it took me twenty seconds to look past all the hair on the board and find a move I could make.
Also, as far as I could see, upgrading meant that you always sent higher level units, whereas the description states that you need to match more than 3 tiles to send out an upgraded unit. This is either a bug or a poorly described feature, and I'm not too sure which. Also, on the topics of bugs/errors, listing your money total as "money earned" after a battle is a slight pet peeve unless you're going to actually show how much money I earned that battle.
perfect combo
this is what happens when a puzzle game meets an RPG game :D
I found a bug...
My score will not go up. That makes it really hard to upgrade.
WTF
my money is not going up
