Puzzles & Survival is a mobile strategy game. You can find it on the App Store and Google Play. It is free to download. The game mixes match-3 puzzles with base building and zombie survival. You fight zombies and other players in a post-apocalyptic world. It has in-app purchases. You can buy resources and speed-ups. There are also some ads for bonus rewards. The game is only on mobile, not on PC or console.

You play in two main ways. First, you build and upgrade your shelter. You train troops and research technology. Second, you fight by playing match-3 puzzles. In battle, you match colored tiles to make your heroes attack. Matching red tiles does fire damage. Matching blue tiles heals your team. This puzzle combat is the best part. It makes fights feel active and fun. My favorite part is the alliance events. You team up with other players to take down huge zombie bosses. It feels great to work together and win big rewards.

It is like a mix of 'Puzzle Combat' and 'State of Survival'. 'State of Survival' is more about pure strategy and has deeper story missions. 'Puzzle Combat' focuses more on the puzzle fighting. Puzzles & Survival sits in the middle. It has good base management and great puzzle action. I recommend it if you like both puzzle games and strategy games. It is easy to start but has enough depth to keep you playing for a long time. The social part with alliances is also very strong.

• Hybrid Gameplay 🧩⚔️: It combines match-3 puzzles with base-building strategy. This is different from games like 'State of Survival' which are only strategy.
• Puzzle Combat System 🔥💙: Fight by matching colored tiles. Red for attack, blue for heal. It's more hands-on than auto-battles in other games.
• Alliance Focus 👥: You need to join an alliance. Team events and boss fights are a big part of the game. It's more social than similar games.
• Hero Collection & Gearing 🦸‍♂️🔧: Collect and upgrade many heroes with different skills. You equip them with gear, similar to RPG games.
• Multiple Game Modes 🗺️: There's the main story, player-vs-player arena, alliance territory, and special events. There's always something to do.

• Active Combat 🎯: The puzzle battles require real skill. It's not just watching auto-fight like in 'State of Survival'.
• Social Gameplay 🤝: The alliance system is excellent. Making friends and planning attacks together is very rewarding.
• Constant Updates 🔄: The developers add new heroes, events, and features regularly. The game never feels stale.

• Pay to Progress Faster 💰: Free players advance very slowly. Big spenders have a huge advantage, especially in player-vs-player.
• Can Feel Grindy 🔄: Some daily tasks are repetitive. Gathering resources for upgrades takes a long time without paying.
• Battery Drain 🔋: The game uses a lot of battery and can make your phone hot during long play sessions.
