Defend Humanity Against Zombies & Mutant Locusts in Puzzles & Survival's Halloween Event

Puzzles & Survival Drops Halloween Treats for All

What would make a game that already features city and alliance building, survival elements, puzzles, and zombies, even better? Halloween!

Puzzles & Survival, the multi-genre mashup that has found a growing audience, is celebrating Halloween with a special in-game Locust Plague event where swarms of mutant locusts are attacking sanctuaries. Players must rally their allies to take on this monstrous new menace, get to the root of this disaster, and save Earth.

An ominous October onslaught

Puzzles & Survival’s Halloween Locust Plague event presents players with a near-Biblical challenge—clouds of locusts are suddenly descending on the land and wreaking havoc upon survivors who have already had to endure a zombie-infested, apocalyptic wasteland.

The swarm of mutant locusts is an existential threat, laying siege to your sanctuary and destroying your precious food supply. If humanity as we know it is to survive, you must scour the map for mutant locust swarms, initiate or join rallies against their bosses, and do whatever is necessary to exterminate them. Anyone brave enough to take on this challenge will receive a handsome haul of Halloween goodies.

How Puzzles & Survival hit 30 million downloads

Daring to mix several genres of games into one game is a bold move, and the Puzzles and Survival developers have managed to find the right formula to create a unique gaming experience. A zombie game that cleverly combines classic match-3 gameplay with strategic wargame elements, it’s been downloaded more than 30 million times and comes highly recommended on Google Play.

The turn-based match-3 gameplay is intuitive and addictive. You have to match tiles to deal damage to zombies and other players. Puzzle game players will excel quickly at pulling off massive combos to defeat their foes, while folks who aren’t proficient puzzlers will have to develop their skill.

When matching tiles, you are also slowly charging your heroes’ skill gauge. When the gauge is full, you can unleash your hero's specialty skill on the enemy. There are various types of hero skills: Damage, Buff, Debuff, Damage Over Time, and more, and they add depth and destruction to the puzzle mechanics.

A rainbow of heroes at your command

Similar to other strategy wargames, you need allies to survive in the world of Puzzles & Survival. The resources obtained from the match-3 gameplay help you upgrade heroes. As they become stronger, so do your sanctuary and alliance. Which heroes will champion your cause? It’s up to you and should be based on what type of player you are, and what type of strategy you plan to implement.

The hero roster in this game shuns stereotypes and is saluted for its diversity, featuring heroes from a myriad of backgrounds and races. There’s a tough-as-nails, dual sword wielding Japanese school girl, a fearsome dude named Dr. J who used to be a jester, and many more.

Locust swarm TVC comes online globally!

Additionally, an exclusive locust-themed TVC made by the Puzzles & Survival team is dropping globally for a limited time, so whether you’ve already played the game or haven’t created an account yet, now is the time to log-in and not miss out on these free Halloween treats.
