Ticket to Earth is an absolute gem that defies easy categorization. Itโs a tactical RPG blended with a color-matching puzzle mechanic that feels incredibly fresh. Instead of just moving units on a grid, you traverse paths of matching colors to power up your attacks. This adds a deep layer of strategy where you have to weigh the benefit of a long path for a massive hit against the risk of leaving your character exposed in the open.
The story is surprisingly compelling as well, featuring a sci-fi world on the brink of collapse with well-written characters that you actually care about. The comic-book art style is vibrant and polished, and the lack of predatory microtransactions makes the experience even better. Itโs one of the most innovative and satisfying strategy games I've played on mobile.

Ticket to Earth is a groundbreaking tactical RPG that introduces the 'Movement Puzzle' system. Set on a distant planet facing total collapse, players must lead a small group of heroes against corrupt officials and deadly mutants. By traversing paths of matching tiles on the battlefield, you build 'Justice' to unleash powerful abilities. The game features a deep narrative across four episodes, beautifully rendered comic-book visuals, and a complex character progression system that rewards strategic planning and clever positioning.
To deal the most damage, look for the longest possible path of matching colors. The further you travel on a single turn, the more Justice energy you accumulate, which increases your damage multiplier and charges your special abilities faster.
Ticket to Earth ($3.99) by Robot Circus Pty Ltd is a unique mashup of a match-three puzzle, RPG, and a turn-based tactical strategy game.
