Gamer reviews for Puzzles & Survival

Brilliantly made but very time consuming to keep up with.

Fun, as complicated as you want to make it.

It’s a decent game. But I think there needs to be some improving on the alliance purpose/teamwork side of things… such as “while you’re in your alliance territory: you gain boosts/shields/protections/etc” type of things… because it takes HOURS if not DAYS to build the army of troops to a respectable amount to even be useful… however I was randomly attacked by a sanctuary - no notifications to my phone nor anything… and it was a 3 parter… Scouted, marching, and attacked. 3 notifications I did not get. Fortunately it was just the one attack. However, it stated I lost 300,000 troops due to my infirmary being full. Which also needs a point of address. I’ve been trying to heal my “deep wounded” for two days prior to this attack which limits/decreases my available capacity for new troops to enter when injured…so I lost a ton of troops to this attack. Recovery already takes forever as well and boost only work for the regular side of the infirmary and state infirmary. But I was in my alliance zone… and nobody was alerted nor protected. Please add some type of aid in the alliance zone. Could be “shields” could be “super boosts of troops” could be “turrets” or something… something to deter people from attacking an alliance territory or make it way riskier. Otherwise, it almost behooves a player to not be in an alliance and to just try and “fly under radar” which “can” be fun if you’re that type of player. But I am not. I want to be a team player and have bonuses and perks of working hard to build not only my base, but my alliance.

This is an excellent fun game but its not a free game if you want to get anywhere fast. The game really purchases you to spend and so do certain players.

It’s ok and keeps me busy

I like that it has different areas to play and it’s not only a shoot and run game

I am quite addicted to this game but it's been a rough start because I didn't really understand how to play fully. I had to finally Google the game to get details on what to do.

SOOO much P2W, but really just P2advance. Everything in this game is a money grab. Every new event is focused on dangling shiny thing for people to buy. You don't get far without spending.

Decent, but communication with other players could be better.

I like the game, but there are many things that need to be updated. With so many mechanisms I’m sure that’s difficult, but email can’t even handle contractions. Come on!

I really like the game although I really wish it would of been like the game was advertised in the advertisements. Not long ago saw PNS described as an ‘adult puzzle game’ (like 18+) which I think is pathetic. Though I don’t think children should play this game for other reasons, I find that descriptive wording reaching as best, but I am happy it isn’t as depicted.

This game is through and through a war game. There’s nothing sexy about war. I honestly only stay for the friends I’ve made

I like it but it’s very difficult to recruit new members.

You cannot play the game without spending money and be competitive. Having said that, I’ve been playing for over a year. If the developers don’t dial back the required spending soon, I may have to find something else to do

Love the Game but the rules of the events are very poorly laid out.

Fun game and community. You can't be in the top rankings unless you are willing to spend A LOT of money. The amount some people spend on a silly mobile game is astonishing.

Fun game to play. $ not necessary, unless you you want to advance. $ Players will dominate non-$ players, which is the way it should be. I gave lower stars for two reasons. First, I downloaded P&S because of an animated ad, where the hero was running through a maze of puzzles. I was disappointed to find that is not the case. Second, I was temporarily banned, for no known reasons. I was unable to find out why. Thankfully I am back in the game now.

It's a ton of fun if you join a strong alliance with active players. You cannot get very far in this game alone. You do not have to buy things, but if you are not in an alliance and/or the alliance players aren't showing up, this game gets lame fast.

I like the game…. just wish they would prevent bullying

It's a great game, there are always events taking place to keep you active and interested in the game.

Its Pay to win type game. no need to tell details!

Keeps you busy while allowing your own choices to build your heroes and sanctuary as well as helping your team. Great game so far.

Really addictive gameplay - in the positive as well as the negative sense. Way too much pay-to-win required to keep up at least a little bit. Guess the top players are either sponsored or must have put 5 to 6 digit $ sums into the game already...

I enjoy the game and the social aspects. I find it hard in an alliance when you get members that refuse to take part or contribute. Ugh. Maybe we need grenades to give them a love tap! Lol

I enjoy playing this game except for being attacked by other players constantly. I know there are shields available but you can’t use them 24 / 7. It would help if once your forces were decimated that you had a grace period before being able to be attacked again.

Love the game but stamina is an issue for everyone!!

Its not too bad except all the bullying of little alliances..

Overall the game is fun if you find the right alliance and people. However, some states have allowed bullies to overrun the state making the game unpleasant at times.

I have tolerable issues with this game...

....... All I see in arena are ppl way higher than me so I can't win any matches. I think if I saw ppl my rank or my might .... And actually had a chance of winning a few matches thatll make my experience alot better.

Most answers are informative. Its helpful and appreciated

If you are in good alliance and like to spend money it’s a great game.

It has a lot of areas to play. I am not able to find much information on alliance buildings. I deposed the alliance leader after a week since they didn't do anything other than give it a name. Still figuring things out.

It's addicting, enjoying it so far. I just wish I don't have to spend a lot of money to grow faster but compared to other games, I grow faster here.

There is very little help available for this game. If you are new to this type of game I suggest another game that is less complex. It is fun to play and relaxing. Once you have reached level 12 you become vulnerable to attack and losing most of your resources. So level up slowly until you have a handle on the ENTIRE game.

Too difficult to evolve heroes... Hard to get enough combat manual I.

Generally depends on the alliance you get into as how you're protected or advance

Decent game so far, lots to keep you involved just starting off

I think it’s a great game so far plenty to keep you occupied
