Star Wars enters the puzzle game genre with Puzzle Droids

A quick search on Google Play finds well over twenty official Star Wars apps, ranging from Lego themes to card games and more. Looking to get your puzzle on? We have good news! Star Wars: Puzzle Droids now brings puzzle gaming to a galaxy far, far away.

The brand new match-3 adventure is set inside the memory banks of BB-8 and, despite being a matching game, actually has a bit of story telling thrown into the mix. The gameplay is also pretty solid based from the few minutes we played around with the game. As you might have guessed from the BB-8 reference, this game is set during the time of the new Star Wars trilogy and features familiar faces including Finn, Rey, and others.

Puzzle Droids has over 100 levels and can be played completely for free. The downside? In-app purchases are very much part of the formula here. The good news is that even if you don’t want to spend any real money, the game is still reasonably playable. It’s also worth noting that if you download and play past level 3, you can enter the gem shop and get a limited time welcome bundle with unlimited lives, extra moves, and more. You have until May 2nd to take advantage of the welcome bundle freebie.
