Tokyo Revengers PUZZ REVE! by GOODROID promises an exhilarating match-3 brawl set in the world of popular anime/manga. While it delivers on the charming art style and beloved characters, the puzzle gameplay struggles to find its own rhythm, leaving you wanting more depth and polish.
Punching Power, Puzzling Prowess: Tokyo Revengers PUZZ REVE! is a standard match-3 game at its core. You connect tiles to unleash attacks from your team of Tokyo Revengers characters. Each character has unique abilities, adding some strategic variety. The combat animations are flashy, and the character interactions are cute, keeping things visually engaging.
Story on the Sidelines: The original story, separate from the main Tokyo Revengers narrative, feels tacked on. It lacks the emotional weight and suspense of the source material, serving mainly as a backdrop for battles. While some lighthearted moments occur, the overall narrative fails to captivate the player.
Grinding Gears: Progression feels grindy. You’ll spend a lot of time replaying stages to level up characters and earn resources. The gacha system for acquiring new characters can be frustrating, often leaving you with duplicates instead of exciting additions. The free-to-play model pushes you towards in-app purchases to truly optimize your team, which might turn off budget-conscious players.
Flash in the Pan?: The special events and limited-time challenges offer brief bursts of excitement but don’t fundamentally change the repetitive core gameplay loop. The guild system feels underdeveloped, lacking meaningful interaction and rewards.
