Marvel Puzzle Quest

  1. Payment model: free-to-play
  2. Requirements: at least iOS 8.0, or Android 4.1

Marvel heroes are everywhere – and that also applies to games. So, these famous characters also had to be featured in a match-3 game – Marvel Puzzle Quest. But interestingly, the developers have tried to give the game a plot! In addition to the standard conflict between the good and evil in the background, we also have an epidemic of Iso-8, and a meteorite that hit the Earth. As a result of this event, crystals increasing the strength of the characters appeared in various places, and everyone's out for them.

In terms of the mechanics, MPQ does not bring a revolution. We complete a team, and each member is assigned a certain color. Placing stones of a certain color next to each other, we load the energy bar of your character. This allows us to perform a special attack through it. The opponent does exactly the same, and clashes occur in a turn-based system. Some variety is provided by the ability to enhance the statistics of our heroes, obtain new heroes, and unlock their superpowers. However, given the extensive micropayments package, quite a few items need to be purchased for real money.

  1. Marvel Puzzle Quest for iOS is available here, and for Android, here.
