The story in the game is generally seen as engaging and enjoyable, featuring a mix of humor and a unique twist that enhances the overall experience. However, many players feel that the narrative concludes too early, leaving a significant number of levels to complete without the motivation of an ongoing story. While the game includes various side quests and mini-games to add variety, the pacing and length of the main story have been points of contention among reviewers.
“I didn't expect there would be an unusual story behind this match-3 game, which makes it more enjoyable to play.”
“The story was also interesting (and funny) enough to be immersive, and there are of course 'fair' bonus gems.”
“A well-done match-3 game, with a framing story and a few other puzzles to provide some variety.”
“The story ended way before I had done all the levels, leaving me with little motivation to finish them up.”
“Solid match-3 game, if that is all you want to do in the game, because the story finishes somewhere around level 40 from approximately 90 levels.”
“Really loses the momentum; there's not as much motivation to play without the story.”

The gameplay is primarily centered around a match-3 mechanic, enhanced by strategic combat and a limited turns system that adds depth and challenge. While the town-building aspect feels disconnected from gameplay, players appreciate the engaging strategy required to succeed in battles and enjoy the balance of casual and challenging modes. Overall, the game offers a fun and immersive experience with additional side quests to explore.
“My favorite mechanic in the game is the strategic combat.”
“The basic gameplay is swap-to-match-3 (or more), with the usual tiles to clear, power-ups and bonuses, but there's a lot more to it than that.”
“I loved the strategy needed to accomplish my goals, and the limited turns mechanic worked really well with the zombie battles.”
“Review based upon normal difficulty, which means a limited amount of turns -- a mechanic that I never liked... until now.”
“I was initially disappointed to see that building up your town does not have any effect on gameplay (missed opportunity!), but in the end I enjoyed this game immensely, and happily 100%'d the game!”
“The casual mode I thought was perfect for me, for relaxing gameplay, not so easy as it's just boring but never in the grind category either.”
