We are extremely pleased to bring Puzzle & Dragons to the Android gaming community. Puzzle & Dragons is a global hit with gamers and critics for its fun and addictive gameplay, beautiful graphics and social appeal, so we are eager to have more players discover this gem of a game.

With approximately 400 unique Monsters to collect, Puzzle & Dragons tasks players with capturing and evolving a variety of elemental creatures infused with fire, water, wood, light anddarkness. These monsters are put together into a five-creature team in order to tackle dungeons chock full of challenging enemies and culminating with a classic gaming mainstay – the boss battle.

Putting together a diverse team is paramount, as players will need each element represented in their squad in order to fully take advantage of creating combos. Combos are attained by matching three or more of the same colored elemental orbs together, and players can link multiple combos to multiply damage and charge up each monster’s special moves. These special moves can range from instant attacks to healing spells.

At a cost, players are given the option to acquire Magic Stones from within the app to continue playing where they left off with full health.  In addition to reviving downed teams, Magic Stones can also be used to restore stamina, expand the number of slots in the Monster Box, or to use the Rare Egg Machine that dispenses powerful monsters. Players also have the option of adding a sixth Ally Monster to aid their team – so long as they have generous friends. By recruiting a friend before battle, players can add one of their friend’s monsters to their squad via an in-game Friend List. Such alliances lead to Pal Points that can be used to cash in for new monsters, so it doesn’t hurt to be a social butterfly!
