Puzzle Trooper is a puzzle RPG game where the player assembles a team of characters and level them up much like an RPG. Cards or power-ups unique to each player are used for special attacks and you build out your team to address challenges at each level. Attacks are performed using a puzzle mechanic where balls are slid around the playfield at the bottom of the screen to assemble three or more in row of the same color using the match-3 mechanic. Larger combos yield larger attacks. There is a campaign (150 missions), PvP (against an AI opponent), and special levels released almost weekly to obtain more powerful characters.
