Puzzles & Survival in IOS

Crash Zombie With Your Wisdom

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

78/100

Puzzles & Survival is an interesting hybrid that manages to bridge two very different genres: Match-3 and 4X Strategy. On one hand, you’re building a base and managing resources to survive a zombie apocalypse; on the other, you're fighting off hordes through a tactical match-3 interface.

It’s addictive because there’s always something to do. If you’re out of energy for combat, you’re upgrading your research center or checking in on your alliance. The hero collection adds a nice layer of depth, as different heroes have different match-3 skills that can turn the tide of a battle. It can get a bit 'pay-to-accelerate' in the late game, but for casual zombie-slaying, it’s great.
