Overview

Match 3 Kingdoms is a turn-based tactics game that blends the classic match-3 puzzle mechanic with roguelike progression. Developed by NASA_eleven and 林中的星野, and published by cement studio, this title launched on November 6, 2026.

It's a single-player experience that also supports multiplayer, and it comes with Steam Achievements.

The core loop is simple to grasp but offers depth for those who dig in. You clear tiles to attack enemies, cast skills, and gather resources.

Special tiles and chain reactions trigger combos, rewarding careful planning and a bit of luck. Each run is different, with random maps, enemies, drops, and rewards, so no two playthroughs feel quite the same.

Highlights

  • Roguelike Runs: Every run features procedurally generated maps, enemy encounters, and loot, ensuring high replayability.
  • Strategic Depth: Between battles, you choose upgrades or new stratagems. Combining active and passive stratagems, timing your moves, and managing resources are key to success.
  • Genre Fusion: The game merges match-3 puzzle mechanics with turn-based tactics and roguelike deckbuilding elements, offering a fresh take on both genres.

Who It's For

If you enjoy puzzle games with a strategic twist, or roguelikes that reward experimentation, Match 3 Kingdoms should be on your radar. The turn-based nature means you can take your time to plan each move, making it accessible for casual players while still offering challenge for veterans.

The combination of match-3 and deckbuilding might appeal to fans of games like Puzzle Quest or Slay the Spire.
