Top 13 Match-3 Games – Like Candy Crush Saga, but Less Sweet

Sometimes, the best solutions are the simplest ones – it's no different with games, and especially with those for mobile devices. If Candy Crush is a bit to sweet, we have prepared a list of 13 match-3 games that are a bit more mature.

Empires & Puzzles

  1. Payment model: free-to-play
  2. Requirements: at least iOS 9.0 or Android 4.4

Empires & Puzzles bets on a proven formula, combining match-3 with RPG elements. This game also offers us a team consisting of diverse characters with individual stats and skills. Stacking specific characters next to each other allows you to perform attacks, and filling the bar – using special abilities.

Of course, all this is possible only with match-3 mechanics. The more characters we can stack, the more damage we'll be able to deal. In addition, some characters allow you to cause additional effects. And it would seem that Empires & Puzzles is the standard title of this genre, if it was not for the ability to expand the base. Thanks to it, we have access to resources, we can improve and produce equipment for the heroes, and develop them faster. This element also makes it possible for other players to attack us, and enables ourselves to mount our own offensive.

  1. Empires & Puzzles for iOS is available here, and for Android, here.
