Drop rates for usable characters are still pretty low. They’ve added more ways to summon, which helps, but it doesn’t really change how often you actually get something good. Ascension materials are very rare. You can grind for them, but it takes a long time (months) unless you’re spending money. oh.. and the new direct pay option feels a little creepy.

I've tried to go back to this game a few times, but I just can't. They work hard to create new characters, expand the story, but as a person who gives values to his money I can't go very far. They are doing everything to make you buy packages, spend money here and there to get good heroes. The best chance to get 5-star heroes was the training camp level 20. You spend a lot of resources to get 1 after 2 days. Now, there is a CHANCE to get 1. Frustrating... this USED to be a very good game...

I mean..... it's a bejeweled clone. It's nothing special. It's fun enough for a while, a good time killer. But it's all loot boxes. The game will give you the exact same heros over and over again even if you spend money. And the ones it gives you kinda suck. Tons of "special offers" and "deals" on things that are a very clear ripoff that won't give you what you want. And the more they add the less interested I am.

Empires & Puzzles is an innovative match-3 puzzle game where puzzle-solving meets deep fantasy RPG, combining RPG elements, PvE quests, and base-building — topped off with epic head to head duels that range from riveting 1v1 Raids to large-scale 100v100 Wars.
• Match-3 battles with real strategy Match Shields to deal damage and power up each Hero's Special Skill, then unleash combos at the perfect moment. Learn the five-element color wheel and turn the board into your weapon. Achieve huge combos to take down even the most powerful enemies!
• Explore richly themed worlds — plus many dozens of mythical quests Prepare for an epic match-3 adventure that will take you through all sorts of worlds for a genuine RPG experience! Will your team be strong and sturdy enough to sail stormy seas, fend against underworld monsters, crawl through sandy dungeons, and slay titanic dragons — while also making tons of new friends along the way?
• Hero Collection Hundreds of legendary heroes and dozens of mighty troops await collection — summon new allies to bolster your team and unlock new strategy options! Each hero comes with their own unique stats and skills — discover hero synergies and unlock their strengths to victory.
• Base-building Rebuild the ruins of a mighty castle and turn it into your own war fortress! A finely built Stronghold will provide all the tools you need to gather resources, level up armies, craft useful items, train your heroes, and serve as a place of refuge as you fight the forces of evil.
• Play together Join an Alliance and team up with other real players to get the best rewards in the game! Strong bonds will naturally form and evolve once you start playing together — whether it be fighting epic titans, strategizing in multiplayer wars, exploring treacherous islands full of monsters, or competing in Alliance Quests, you'll improve at the game, earn awesome rewards, and make friends along the way.
• Farming, crafting, upgrading Make sure your team is well-prepared for all the adventures out there! Level up your Stronghold and gather valuable resources — such as Dragon Bones and Meteor Fragments — to craft legendary weapons that will help your heroes make it through even the toughest battles.
• Amazing graphics This puzzle RPG is set in a beautifully rendered fantasy world — you'll marvel at the stunning details of countless monsters, dragons, and other fantasy creatures! Your heroes' powerful magic spells will not only dazzle your eyes but also dramatically turn the tides of wars.
• Train and dress up Unlike in ordinary hero card games, you can level up your "deck" of heroes — and even evolve their power further by equipping them with costumes that add to their power! The vast fantasy world of Empires & Puzzles will present a wide array of challenges; you'll want to build an army that can tackle any opponent that comes your way.
