Our take on Puzzle Kingdoms
The strategic framing emphasizes map conquest and army command, but the concrete battle action described is gem matching: matches damage enemies and build mana for special attacks. The store copy gives less detail about how the campaign and city captures are structured.
What is Puzzle Kingdoms?
Puzzle Kingdoms combines map-based conquest with board matching.
Players direct troops across a campaign map and capture cities while managing armies led by heroic commanders. On each game board, matching gems deals damage to opposing forces and generates mana. That mana fuels special attacks against enemy units. The setting follows a struggle to protect Etheria from destruction, while the core loop links troop movement, army management, and gem-based combat. Commanders lead the forces used in these campaigns, and defeating opponents requires combining troop orders with board matches and mana-powered attacks.
How Puzzle Kingdoms plays

- Troops move across a world map as cities are taken from opposing forces.
