Get on Steam"Troll Patrol" is a puzzle RPG where you defend your troll den from invasions, with tile-matching mechanics to collect resources for survival. Waves of enemies arrive in turns, and matching potion tiles restores health, while shield tiles replenish armor and increase loot value for item upgrades.

Reviews
- Troll Patrol is a nice remaster of the beloved match-3 game Dungeon Raid, featuring better graphics and a compelling gameplay loop.
- The game is easy to learn and can be played casually, making it suitable for both casual and more focused gaming sessions.
- It has cross-save support with the mobile version, allowing for seamless play on the go, and works well on various platforms including the Steam Deck and Linux.
- Progression can feel slow and monotonous, with limited variety in unlockables and a lack of engaging content after several hours of play.
- Balance issues exist, particularly with certain skills and unlockables, which can lead to frustrating gameplay experiences.
- The game lacks an adventure mode, which may disappoint players expecting a more traditional match-3 experience similar to Puzzle Quest.

The gameplay is praised for its engaging loop that is easy to learn yet offers a high skill ceiling, making it enjoyable for players. However, some balance issues and a slow progression system have been noted, though these are expected to be addressed in future updates. Overall, players are encouraged to try the free mobile version to get a feel for the game.
“That being said, balance issues aside, the gameplay loop is great.”
“Look into the free (with ads) mobile version of this game and/or Dungeon Raid to get an idea of how the game works. If you can get past a relatively slow progression system and the preview you got seemed to appeal to you, you'll enjoy the great gameplay loop that's very easy to learn and has a decently high skill ceiling, albeit a few balance issues that I'm sure will be ironed out.”

The game lacks an "adventure" mode similar to those found in titles like Puzzle Quest or 1000000/Ymbab, which may limit the depth and engagement of the story experience for players.
