Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign is a clever twist on the match-three genre where collecting different colors will result in the use of the powers of your superheroes.

By finishing quests you can level up your heroes, resulting in a bigger health pool and stronger powers. Basically this means that unlike other match-three games, Marvel Puzzle Quest is an iPhone match 3 app, that won’t get boring no matter how long you play.

A Marvelous Mission

A simple reward system will reward you after every successful mission with new powers, heroes, hero points, and the much sought-after crystals, which allow you to level up your heroes.

If during a mission, your heroes receive damage or lose all their health points, you will have to wait until they heal. Health packs can heal the heroes instantly, but they are hard to get, and you will burn through them quickly in a long gaming session.

The real fun starts when you start playing online. Here you will face off with the selected teams from players based all over the world.
