Puzzles & Chaos: Frozen Castle Reviews

A very visually appealing and engaging gameplay that is satisfying and fun at the same time! The puzzles and battles are well done with good graphics. In many ways similar to these types of games that are based on character development and power which rely on spending real money to advance at an accelerated rated. Overall so far, I am enjoying my gaming experience!!

I had high hopes for this game. It seemed really interesting. But, not even halfway through the “tutorial,” it’s already spamming you with in-game purchases. Heck, some of the basic things other games give you right off the back or after the tutorial this game locks behind a paywall. The 2X speed up is locked behind a purchasable pass to gain access to it. You can unlock it without buying it but you have to wait a while to clear the necessary chapter as this game’s power scaling is nonsensical. So, unless you are willing to pay to get stronger, it will be a long while until you get it. Also, most other games have a skip construction feature when the timer gets to a specific point, and those that don’t give you plenty of speed ups to compensate. This one doesn’t. So, I hope you like waiting if you download and try to be a Free to play player. But if you want a match 3 game that is all around better and had better pacing, play Myths of Moonrise. Not the best out there but still better than this game.

Good production values and the battles are fun. But there’s a LOT going on here. A lot of clutter, a lot of waiting time (stamina recharges, building wait times, all of that) and a LOT of in app purchases. I mean a lot. Temporary packs (limited time only), multiple other packs up to $99 each (MULTIPLES), plus monthly subscription $40 or weekly $5 PLUS EVEN MORE like you can buy shields for your city, you can buy speed ups, you can buy to increase your power temporarily in wars. Plus buy the gacha character pull lotto. It’s just too much. I would be willing to pay $5-10 for something if that was it or almost it, and if there were sort of even playing field. But this game is mostly about who can spend the most, and who can log in at the exact intervals to click the most on their city.

I would enjoy the game more if it would STOP pigeon holing me into doing something. I don’t care what should be the next step, let me upgrade my hero’s, access my bags, or whatever else it is I want to do. Forcing me to press some event when I don’t want to proceed is the quickest way to get me to uninstall something. Give a quick three to five Mission tutorial and be done with it. Three chapters of “you HAVE to go here and you HAVE to move pieces like this and you HAVE to do what I tell you to do” is INFURIATING! The game is not that new of an idea that most people downloading don’t already understand how to use it and what they need to be doing. Stop trying to hold our hand and force us along a path or play style of your chosing.

I’ve been having a lot of fun with this game so far. There are a ton of things to do, so you’re constantly clicking around to different places. The battles are cool, my only suggestion would be to let them match diagonally.
The one thing that really annoys me (the reason for 4 stars) is the freaking pointing finger telling you what to click. The whole beginning of the game is like that and it’s very frustrating. But not only that, the pointing finger stays on your screen pointing at what you need to do. Non-stop, 24/7, 7 days a week, it does not go away. It is now my nemesis!
Good day!

Like it so far nothing to crazy with the ads has good graphics and a good story line. Overall I can see myself playing the game more to spend the time off of social media ahahah. Probably look more into the pvp and see how it is as well!

I just discovered this game and have been playing it straight for the last 24 hours! I can’t put my phone down because I love the peace of the game and all the discoveries it offers.

I just started playing and loving it already no complaints so far the graphics and gameplay are really good I recommend you download today and play

It is average for a mobile game. Not a lot on offer for launch. It feels like it will take a few weeks to get a 5* unless you pay for one after the first tutorial.

I got this game because a love both puzzles and dragons. Little did I know that it would take me on an amazing and attention grabbing story line!

Overall I think this game is amazing for people you like RPG and puzzles!

I love this game haven’t stopped playing since I started today it’s too much fun and quite addictive. I’ve been playing over 3 hours straight.

Well I've played lots of SLGs, and they kept me waiting forever. this one is different. can do match-3 while waiting for the buildings to upgrade. It makes me feel good

This game I love the story line the heroes are epic but as for the ones that are must buy otherwise known as dlc could there not be an alternative way of getting them like Saya so aaaaawwwweeeesssssssooooommmmmeeeeee

30 mins a d so far a great experience, def not a pay 2 win vibe fromt he start although it makes the game more easy to clear.

I downloaded this game and it was nothing like the trailer. The gameplay is completely different. Why do these companies expect players to play and like their games and then wanna deceive or trick us on the gameplay. And before a developer jumps on here and tries to say that’s not true, well there certainly isn’t any real gameplay footage in your trailer enticing people to download the game.

I was enjoying the game very much until the second woman showed up in nothing but a bikini. I over looked the first because I was enjoying the game so much. I would not mind so much but the men were fully dressed in snow gear, sexist and unoriginal. Women and girls like to play to, quit pandering to the male element.

Glad I did the preorder on this game. So far so good. Graphics look good. Story is drawing deeper. Great way to pass time while riding around at work when my the guy I ride with is driving.

It’s a 4 It can be a 5 if you make the characters breasts more realistic and more exotic like when you swipe it side by side I want the breasts to jiggle with the motion that will definitely make it a 5 star rating

Yeah this is interesting storyline so it’s worth five stars and it’s just like playing Vikings, evony, just to name a few. It’s along those lines if game play

Too much interference stopping me from playing the game. Go here now! Do this now! No this over here! No! This other thing! Meanwhile, too much of what it pushes me to do I can’t actually do. I might enjoy it if I could just play it, but it won’t let me play.

it literally wouldnt let me play and there were better moves i could have made in the game but it forced me to do the bad moves. then it made me use the special powers for the characters and literally would not let me touch the puzzle. the text is so annoying and when i tried to check if there was a way to turn off the tutorial it wouldnt let me click on settings BECAUSE IT WAS GIVING ME MORE TUTORIAL I HAD TO DO BEFORE I COULD ADJUST THE GAME. all the female characters are incredibly over sexualized but i guess what did i expect from a game that gives you what feels like 30 minutes of scripted gameplay nobody wants to do. its a tile match game everyone knows how they work there is no reason for a tutorial that long

I can’t touch a game without spending $4.99 to support the devs by buying the first purchase to gain a 5* hero and this game is so bad, I couldn’t justify spending the bare minimum. The dialogue is embarrassing. Have an English speaker help you before publishing. Graphically, I waited to free the dragon hoping the bleak frozen landscape with frozen buildings that all look the same would blossom into a vibrant landscape teaming with life and the waking dragon did nothing. No changes at all even though the poor dialogue indicates the landscape is frozen because the dragon was captured. The puzzles are also mundane. You guys need to rework this whole game if you ever plan to succeed. Deleted after 20 minutes.

I downloaded this game because it showed ONE girl trying getting through a maze of problems. Thinking that would be fun to help her I was treated with something else entirely. There wasn’t just one fighter to get through the maze and I kept hoping that maybe after I solved the next battle that would be the case. After 2 weeks of play I finally figured out that I needed 5 different colored fighters to take advantage of the 5 different colors of matched bulb things. There was never going to be any other way around. The play is stupid! If you’re faced with multiple enemies and you have taken out say the center and one side leaving you with just one and you only have matches for the opposite side you will do nothing to that last one even if you match the colors of a fighter on that side. Like I said it’s stupidity, right?

I gave it two stars as the graphics were ok and it worked every time I tried to play it without crashing.

nothing like the ads that tempted you to look it up in PuzzlesChaos store. combination of a match-3/character battle game and a castle/fortress defense game. the match-3 and character building are interesting, but the castle defense is the standard build-it-up-all-day and watch-it-all-get-destroyed-overnight because there are always stronger jerky players who spend all their time flogging the weak over and over. so you end up spending all your time and resources repairing and recovering only to watch it get blasted again. of course you have the option to spend tons of $$$ to get stronger faster or to protect everything, but all i want to do is have a little spare-time waster. i wish i could play a game like this by myself against NPCs in sandbox mode where i’m not forced to join an alliance and i don’t have to be immediately the most powerful force in the game in order to withstand the repeated onslaught. but whether it’s this game in a fantasy realm or any of the zombie apocalypse games, it’s always the same thing. i played for about a week and then gave up when the inevitable pattern described above came to life. devs need not respond since i’ve already deleted it from my phone.

I am enjoying the game, however I have the feeling that it will be like the game of thrones game where I’m going to be attacked by other players. I enjoy the fact that I’m rebuilding the kingdom and earning things need to continue to do that, but if my little kingdom starts getting attacked I will have to delete the game. I personally don’t like that and don’t think it’s fair to rebuild and thrive and other player can just take everything you just did and I don’t care to be told that is how the game is created. There should be an option to opted out of that part of the game. I work every day I do have the option to be on this game to defend my kingdom when it’s getting attacked. hopefully that will not happen and I can continue to enjoy the game.

This game has the building, content of a Sid Myers game, with the hero battles of raid shadow, legends and a battle style using a jewel system for how hard you hit. The graphics are decent, and the dialogue is short into the point. Lots of content so it’s going to take a minute to learn it all, but overall I give it 4 stars.

I played a few like this but this has just become my favorite after a few minutes of playing.

This game is really fun you don’t have to pay for it and there’s no ads Zero you get a fight people and explore find new worlds so you can try it out too

This game is what I’ve been looking for when it comes to pvp and pve (entity) puzzle games.
Comparing to GoTC, this game is more focused on activities for guaranteed growth over constant pvp and other factors that make growth a crippling experience. Game of Thrones was nothing but constant fighting and pay to win- which is awful for newer players. As well, I’m happy to see there is a well set reporting system for spam messages that are reported under “illegal invitations”, accompanied by the blacklisting options.
The only stipple I have are small bugs which are being ironed out and the constant pay to grow advents. Grant it, such ads are necessary for the game devs to continue optimizing this game.
Thank you for reigniting an experience I had with Legendary : Game of Heros.

At first, this game was great! It was obvious that spending is required for this game to compete with other players. I have no problems with this. However, their help desk rarely fixes issues reported, if at all. For over a month now I have reported not being able to redeem codes and the best response I received was “Use Facebook. Sorry for the inconvenience.” That, in my opinion, is pathetic customer service. Emergency maintenance due to game breaking issues typically get a “sorry” gift of 100 diamonds. 100 diamonds barely does anything for anyone in this game. I warned them I would leave a negative review if they didn’t resolve this issue so here I am holding up my word. Overall, fun game with a lot of fun people but their customer service and help desk are absolute garbage.

Okay so I loved playing it until level 11. By this time I’m waiting forever for stamina to fight monsters or to play the puzzle games. Everything you have to buy. It could of been fun but it’s boring having to wait just for stamina. What else to do if I can’t level up my heros by fighting monsters or playing games? I can do nothing but wait for a building to be done and just sit there. It would be cool if could be in the exchange store and that even only has four options….

Game seems interesting enough so far but I feel they should wait till you are further into the game before promoting you for a rating so that you get a chance to really experience the game. Im still in the tutorial basically

I am really enjoying my time to play this. It does gets. Little overwhelming at first since there is so much thrown at you but I have been playing non stop for two hours now and am having a great time!

Don’t bother. The game is just boring.

I only downloaded this as part of a WEBTOON Treasure Hunt quest and kept playing because WEBTOON promised that I would receive coins for completing various stages within the game. I never received the promised coins. After following up with customer care, I was given an automated list of potential reasons for disqualification that didn’t apply to me. Since I didn’t receive the coins, I feel no obligation to keep playing or to leave a positive review.

I am not much into playing these sort of games but this game is very fun easy to understand and after just starting don’t realize how long you have been playing

This game is nothing new, other than just a variation of the similar games out there. What really gets me is the amount of tutorials that forces you to use resources when it is unnecessary, such as using the 1 min speed up time, where a hand points to the speed up button when I could have just waited out. The continuation of this game keep on leading you to click here and click there. The first hour of this game was excruciating painful, as I had to follow the path, not allowing to figure things out. And this constant of switch to animation for special moves continues to happen even when I choose to disable the animation. The option is to play only once for new characters, then I realize every time you level up the same character , it is considered as “new”, so it activates the animation again. That’s so painful to keep interrupting the game flow.

The graphics of this game are actually pretty amazing. The game play is really fun. The only complaint I have is the weird dialogue they gave the characters. The script could have been written better but it is what it is. Also they REALLY want you to spend money in their game (Which makes sense it’s a beautiful game and I’m sure it took a lot of time to develop) but so far I haven’t been required to spend money to level or play which is nice. There are a ton of aspects to this game and lots of things to do and explore.

I knew from before stepping foot into thine world of this magical realm that it was to be up my alley & tickle my fancy!
Alas, I have tested the waters of thee having made it forth beyond Chapter 5 & I must say out loud & proud that my take on this is that it is Sheerly beyond superior as a phone app game both in gameplay + graphics + the intensive complexity of the storyline!!!
Everyone it’s worth stepping into this world.
Thou shalt not be dissapointed.
I would say honestly thus far it is WAAAAAYYY BETTER than ANY phone app game I’ve game thus far that do have the constraints of countdowns on building + troop upgrades. Gameplay makes upgrades seem less and never cross your mind honestly.
Everyone, good luck!!!
I must rush back in!!! 🦾

Only level 5 and you know how it goes at the start… everything is free and/or fast with lots of supplies. It’s not likely to stay that pace though. It is a lot of stuff to navigate through but the game does good teaching you steps. Just a lot in the fast pace.

Took one star due to a LOT and I mean A LOT of in game purchases everywhere. Much nickle and diming going on. If you aren’t careful you could easily rack up a lot of purchases and burn your credit cards.

So far…The story is basic (cute but not very creative), the graphics are good, and the gameplay is typical (it feels like other games I’ve played, but also makes it easier to understand). I think it’s best quality is the characters. The recruitment possibility is high, definitely a bonus as opposed to others, and the rewards are good. All in all, not bad, but could be better. I look forward to the future of this game.

I Love this game!! This is my relaxation game I play at nightly(or several times a day) & lI absolutely love it it’s fun it’s challenging, it doesn’t cost anything to play but even if you do want to purchase some of the extras it’s not expensive & they have daily deals! I Love that you are doing all kind of different areas & Heros all the time! It’s AMAZING!!

I am just now reaching level five Citadelle. This is day one but so far it hasn’t been anything wild ‘n out rages as far as having to spend money like so many others have said I don’t like, however, that you’reCastle or area gets destroyed every time you are in active it seems like… I’ll update this when I have more to go on! Thanks!

I have two characters in two different realms and both of them have been shut down today due to suspicious activity I have invested so much time and money and energy playing this games because this is the first one I’ve ever done and I really enjoyed it and I love the camaraderie and all that stuff there is a lot of cheating that goes on but I wouldn’t even begin to know where to start on something like that or anything like that so I am like blown away this has happened now I will probably quit the game and encourage everyone that I know not to play it or download it simply because you work hard towards a goal and when you get close to reaching it they mysteriously shut your accounts down. I feel like all this has been done on purpose in order to keep people down low that don’t spend very much money but work very hard at moving forward so they just shut your accounts down I guess theymust not be making enough money- and being kicked out will put me so far behind even if it’s only for eight hours that it will be too hard to catch up and I don’t want that at all I am so disappointed

Love the game but oblivion war is not really fair, it should be designed in stages like in every server have one first and who wins goes to the next level between servers, older servers have more power due to being in the game early, servers are added as new players join and there is no migration yet. How are we supposed to compete on a fair level?
Another suggestion is that R5 should be able to move castles around if necessary.
Great game but somewhat not fair in certain events!

Normal match PVE games are cut and fill this adds a new experience by incorporating a refreshing base build environment. Too much buy this buy that thrown at your face so marketing is aggressive and has taken context out of a game I’m sure someone created to experience pure bliss. Nothing is free but it’s strangely unreasonable l tend to leave games like these but depending on how events go I can stay. I will say this though I’ve continued to play specific games for years and games like these where other come out with better intentions last much longer. I feel like someone has offered a return to manage marketing but they are not the one that needs to do it sense I know this game is going down a path where it will be forgotten. Where as games that start trends not follow tend to stay around for the rest to follow. Please take with a grain of salt this review was asked.

If I could give this game negative stars, I would. The ads that I see of this game while I play other games makes me not want to ever play this game. If you want to have someone play your game, do not make an ad with a black guy and obviously a white guy doing the voice over, it is not appealing and it just makes your company look desperate to get someone to play, in my case, and other players above the age of 30, will never play this game. I had to download the game to type up a review, but I will be deleting the game after I write this review. I just wish that game devs would go back to the old days and see how ads or trailers are supposed to be made for games. 99% of ads about games that I see just make people like me not ever want to play these games. All I have to say is, “Do better.” What I mean is, make your game ads look more appealing to your audience. There is a reason why this game is not in the top 10 downloads, it’s cause of the ads. I’ve been playing games for 30+ years, and I’ve never seen ads as stupid as the ones that I see on games for phones these days. They might be appealing to the younger millennials, gen z or today’s generation, but not to us older millennials, these ads make your company look desperate.

I haven’t played a rpg game in a long time Mainly because I became bored with it after awhile if repetitive building up and getting knocked down. It became irritating and annoying. I’m still on the fence if this game will be the same as the others. So far everything is pretty basic on it. As for addictive I’ll give it that it has kept me playing to see what happens next. That’s why I’m giving 4 stars. If this game doesn’t bore me in a couple of weeks I’ll come back and 5 star it.

When I first started playing the game, it was fun. The game has slowly declined. I will tell you this you will spend a lot lots of money. This game is about spending a lot of money and then they play this conquest of lords and scorching event. It’s so unfairly matched developers do a poor job. at fixing these issues there has been several complaints on this issue. it cost a lot to level your citadel with resources in the game does not give you enough or rewards. It just wants you to spend spin spin and then it gives you these crazy events where people can just take it away from you and then you have to rebuild it’s not worth it.

i’m going to start out by saying this game is a good idea and it has potential but with that being said there’s some issues… when you’re in the mesdi portal doing a level and you get to the 3rd wave with the big guys, the mini boss if you will, they can kill you in one hit. doesn’t matter what level you are. so you have to like kill them before it’s their turn otherwise you’re completely screwed. another thing is you have to upgrade your heroes obviously so you’re stronger and can go on but you get stuck in this cycle where you need to upgrade your heroes to win but you need to win so you can get evolution books to upgrade your heroes. the only thing that ends this endless loop is blitz tickets but you only get so many. so it’s like you have to buy the packs to get anywhere. another thing is when i first joined an alliance i randomly got kicked out of 4 of them before the leader actually let me stay in. there should be some kind of rule about this because it was really irritating to join one only to be kicked out 30 minutes later without any explanation after giving all my resources to the alliance research. there’s a lot more but this is all i can think of right now

I love the game and it would have been a five star, however I have notice that the packs that are supposed to be 99 cents a pack charges my account more than once. I just purchased a pack for $4.99 and one for .99 cents. However, it charged me $8.95 when I should be paying 6. I looked back at my account and it shows that I was charged for 4 packs at .99 cents and the $4.99. I look back and it has done that every time I purchased a .99 pack. I get the exact amount if items that I intended to purchase and no extra to show that my account was hit more than once. Great game but just know that you won’t be paying .99 cents for a pack. I won’t be buying anymore packs.

The one thing I have always hated about games like this, is the way people befriend you and then turn around and backstab you. I like the games concept, but I put too much effort into a game only to have it get crushed overnight. You can’t get good draws either and there is no way you can win without paying money. If it were just the campaign portion without the constant attacks from other players, it would be fine. But, iWork a full time job, and unless you plan to compensate me for the time needed to really play this game, you can keep it. Now I have to disband my alliance, which I was forced to create and which everybody who joined left. Except for my officers. Some loyalty. The game stinks!

I really like the characters & actual puzzle portions of the game, but there’s really just not enough of actually doing them and way to much of building a castle, waiting hours to upgrade buildings, etc. There’s about a hundred games like that, and I don’t like them. I downloaded THIS game to play the puzzles. Also, in addition to there being few puzzles, the puzzles vastly increase in difficulty very quickly, leaving you pretty screwed if you don’t spend money to level up quickly or wait hours or even days to collect enough experience potions from your dumb castle to actually be able to move forward and get to actually play the game you downloaded it for. The arena is puzzles, but you get to do that like twice a day unless you spend diamonds to buy more chances. I’m kind of frustrated honestly.

Puzzle stuff is easy, playing as the characters makes it much more enjoyable- the setting, story, aesthetic of it all. Some parts in between are kinda meh- def could go w/o the dubbing, esp on the Barron guys voice- lol all the ladies are rly cool, wizard stomp staff, and final bosses- definitely passed the time, not to mention money behind it? it’s got a lot of side missions I can tell but I don’t think it takes 60 days to rly get thru if I get into it :)

kinda reminds me of like harvest moon but bejeweled w gods and monsters

I usually don’t like games like this. They always feel boring and over complicated to me, but this game is really entertaining and enjoyable to play. It’s got pretty decent gameplay and graphics that make the characters look really interesting. Plus the storyline is really unique and engaging as well so it doesn’t really feel like a puzzle game. The in-game purchases aren’t in your face either so it’s not obnoxiously asking for money. Overall this is a really cool game that I’d definitely recommend to someone who just wants to have fun.

This game offers an engaging blend of city building and monster fighting. Your primary objective is to upgrade City Hall while embarking on quests to battle a variety of formidable bosses. The intuitive interface makes it easy to dive right in, and the stunning graphics enhance the overall experience. The gameplay is highly addictive, especially with the creative and dynamic boss battles that keep you coming back for more. It's a perfect combination of strategy and action that will keep you entertained for hours.

I signed up for a game testing app where users get paid to play games. Seems like a way to pay for active users tbh. I enjoy that app though because most of the games are pretty fun and it’s an easy way to find new things to play. This is the first fail I’ve come across, and it is so bad that I feel compelled to review. I’m like ten minutes in and there’s… no gameplay? Like it has you “solve” a puzzle but it does so by telling you exactly what to click and where to move. There’s also a ton of really boring dry dialogue to click through. Characters aren’t interesting, “plot” isn’t interesting, and the game play part is basically non existent. I don’t think that even paying me is going to be enough to keep my attention to play this game. 0/10, literally the most boring “game” I have ever played.

Pretty decent game. It has many options and levels for you to pass the time. If you’re willing to spend actual USD on this game they even have a couple options to upgrade characters and gain XP through that as well. I’m so relieved this game doesn’t have 1000 ads because most mobile puzzle games that do usually have me lose interest. Having lots of fun with the animation and the dialogue is pretty good too. Just wish the UI would be a bit more clear to help me keep track on the last thing I was doing. It could get cluttered pretty fast but otherwise, gameplay is solid and story is good for a mobile puzzle.

if you were to ask me ab this game, id say i like it, but if you were to ask me on a deeper level, id say im EXTREMELY addicted to this game and i never stop playing it, when im on my phone im playing it, its well put together and addicting.
one thing i really want to change is id make it so you can zoom farther out when youre at your castle, i want to be able to SEE everything instead of just a couple buildings. amazing game tho, if youre thinking ab downloading it, do it.
