Puzzle Tactics Reviews

Great simple game, wish it was longer but for the price its a bargain.

Little turn based tactical puzzle game. Definitely worth picking up if you like the genre. Will occupy you for over an hr easily.

A simple puzzle game using turn based strategy game mechanics. It is a short game ( 20 levels / I beat it in 2.3 hours ), starts simple, ends with more complex levels. No tutorial, but the game is easy and straightforward to use, whenever they introduce a new unit, the level is setup in an easy to understand way. If you like puzzle games, then this game is well worth it's price content wise. If you're looking for a strategy game, fire emblem/advance wards clone, or a game with a story, then you'll be disappointed. There are some things I wish were different about this game : -only mouse controls, they work fine, but you can't use any thing else such as the escape button. -There is no cancel/go back options. if you move a unit, you can't move it back, so if you click on the wrong square, that's it, you can't move a unit to check if it's in range for attacks, you have to measure it every time. in games like Fire emblem, and advance wars, where damage, and reactions are randomly generated, it makes sense that you can't cancel your attacks, but htis game always deals the same ammount of damage, so there really isn't a reason to cancel moves/ attacks, especially since you move all your untis at once. -more replayability : once you finish your 20 levels, that's it. Having something like level rating, achivements, "win without losing a model" type of things per level, would give a reason to play a level again. TLDR: $1 for 2~3 hours / 20 levels of puzzles. Don't expect advance wars clone. don't get this if you hate puzzles.

Not much to say. It's a fairly simple and straight-forward tactical game. Each of the 20 levels gets a little bit harder than the last, but not by much. There are a variety of different units (warrior, archer, mage, necromancer, protector) each with slightly different abilities, which require a little bit of thinking and tactics to complete certain levels. However a very effective tactic in many levels is simply kiting the enemy. It feels like this game is just someone learning how to program a basic game. Because the graphics and overall UI/UX are not great, and could be easily improved, but it gets the job done. Overall, the game doesn't have a great deal of depth or replayability, but it is easy to learn and a good way to kill a few hours for a dollar.

Nice little puzzle game. Turn-based, comparable to chess. Difficulty is easy for adults. Maybe challenging for children. What the game lacks is keyboard control (you can't cancel menus with Escape) and a zoom feature. Would be nice to have. Hope to see some extra maps soon. Perfectly playable under Linux through Wine. Thank you for programming this one!

Simple and basic interface. Kinda like a homemade version of chess. Decently interesting, enough to entertain for a few hours. Game introduces new content all throughout the campaign. Most levels aren't horribly hard--AI is touch and go. Low price made it definitely worth it though.

Great game for a buck. This game captured my undivided attention for 2 hours. It was rather easy (mainly due to dumb AI), and the UI was a little clunky .... but hey, it's only a dollar!

Very cool take on a turn based strategy game! There are some cool features and different mechanics and the difficulty isn't out of control which requires perfect movement. Overall great grab for the price. 9/10

It's a very good idea for a difficult minimalist tactic game. But now realization is poor. All in game is very slow. E. g. move and attack must be on just left click without any menu.

I dont want to take a piss on the game for no reason, it seems amaurish and I know trying to develop a game of this genre can be hard, in fact I decided to buy it without expecting much from the screenshots just to give it a chance but the game is worse than I´d imagined, it not only looks boring but it plays boring, there are no stories, no characters, no scoring system, just pieces and scenarios, there is no character progression, no keyboard support and the UI is just bad, the last part is important, I may have been able to enjoy what little there was if at least the controls werent so badly implemented (you have to click on a piece and then select move before clicking on the tile you wanted it to move, for example) The tactical scenarios arent bad but without progression and without chance affecting any outcome (it is a deterministic tactical game) there is no tension, and the game doesnt make up for the lack of rng in any way, the IA is particularly bad, and as a puzzle game it just fails horribly, there is no reason to try to find an optimal solution if you can advance (even while losing almost all your units) anyway and there isnt even a cheap "3 out of 3" stars system or any kind of score to chase. On the plus side it IS cheap and it DOES work, the tactical scenarios arent that bad and you can waste some time with it, I WOULD totally play this on my phone, if it were free, at least for very short trips you see my point
