iOS (iPhone/iPad) Critic Reviews

Puzzle Craft is a joy to play. You'll be farming, mining, and crafting for hours at a time.

Puzzle Craft is a wonderful example of how to attract the casual, the hardcore, the cynical, and even the most bitter cash-for-progress gamers of the world together. I am addicted to an empire-building game, and if you've read even a fraction of my previous polemic against the genre, you will know by now that this is the highest accolade I could ever bestow on the game.

Puzzle Craft is the most addictive puzzle mash-up to hit the App Store this year. Spending collected puzzle blocks to build a town is smart. But allowing that bustling town to power-up the puzzle minigame is brilliant.

The game's a well-oiled, spit-polished masterpiece of casual gaming that needs to be on your iOS device.

Puzzle Craft is a perfect concentration of the components of the best puzzle and social games.

Puzzle Craft compensates with quality what it lacks in originality; borrowing elements from various genres and games, AT Games managed to create an addictive and compelling puzzle game than fans of the genre should not miss.

It's particularly refreshing that in-app purchases are far from vital to progress. A rarity in such a money focused genre.

At first, the game starts off slow, as you would expect from any simulation game. But as you get the ball rolling, it's quite hard to put this down. I love the fact that it combines two of the most addictive types of games into one, so it's just that much more enjoyable.

Puzzle Craft is a fine blend of addictive casual gameplay elements, giving rise to a puzzler that you'll gladly keep coming back to without the usual guilt-factor associated with repetitive gathering.

Puzzle Craft attempts a different approach to the popular city-building genre, replacing the typical microtransaction model with a satisfying puzzle game.
