Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want battles without tile matching may hit a wall when collecting matching tiles is part of powering combat abilities.
- Players seeking a short campaign may find the saga's over 100 battle locations and hours of narrative gameplay a substantial commitment.
- Those looking for real-time combat may not fit a game centered on battlefield tactics and puzzle-grid actions.
Our take on Ticket to Earth
The bounce point is the battlefield grid: tile matching is part of powering combat abilities, alongside positioning the team. Players who want tactical battles without a puzzle mechanic may hit that requirement as soon as combat begins.
What is Ticket to Earth?
Ticket to Earth combines battlefield tactics, tile matching, and RPG progression in a science-fiction campaign.
The puzzle grid is the battlefield: position the team, collect matching tiles, and use them to power combat abilities against criminals, robots, and mutants. The story follows four unlikely heroes, including Rose, as they face violence, government corruption, and a conspiracy on the dying colony of New Providence. Each hero has an RPG progression tree, and hundreds of combat abilities can be unlocked. The completed saga contains over 100 battle locations and hours of narrative-driven gameplay. This edition brings the former mobile game to PC and Mac with higher-resolution visuals and other improvements.
