Instead, you need to select a piece, hit X, then move in a direction towards the next one and hit X again to indicate you’d like to swap those two pieces. The match 3 puzzler is a blast outside of being unable to use the d-pad, and the rather odd choice of not allowing you to hold a button or just press in a direction to indicate which piece you’d like to move. Combos play a huge part in this game and there’s nothing more thrilling in it than getting on a hot streak, having a few combos roll into each other, THEN getting an extra turn and being able to dole out a nice amount of damage if not kill at least one enemy soldier before they’ve had a chance to do any damage to you. The traditional match 3 game has a battle component mixed in where successful matches build up a blue attack meter and each attack wears down the red health bar. Those aspects are far more polished, responsive, and most importantly, fun, than the strategy portion of TTE.

The pace is also quite a bit faster in the free mode, with less downtime and frustration since the strategy portion is minimized in favor of a focus on the puzzle stuff. It gives you loose goals, lets you pick some goals for yourself, and offers up more variety.

The former tends to result in a ton of pop-ups telling you what you’re doing is wrong and giving vague hints as to how to remedy it, while the latter is far more open-ended and still puts you on a set path to some extent.
While there’s a lot I don’t like about the strategy portions, I do like that you can choose between either a strict mission structure in the basic campaign or a more open “free campaign. This makes some sense for the strategy portion since you’ll want more accurate controls for diagonal movement, but doesn’t make any for traditional menus or the puzzle game sections. In a strange move for a menu-driven game, the d-pad isn’t supported.

Reviews for the PC and IOS versions seem reasonable and don’t mention these issues at all, so it would appear that these are new problems for the console version. Far too many parts of the interface are aggravating and it takes what could be a fun game, and probably would be if things worked as they should, and makes it frustrating. Saving is another issue as it takes ages for the save menu to come up, then far more time for the save slot selection area to come up. Nothing you do will register…unless you save, exit the game, and come back. There are times when you’ll be on the overworld map and just be given the option to press X or triangle to do something – you can press each button until your face is as blue as the X button and it won’t matter. This issue is made worse when you’re doing exactly what it tells you to do, but nothing is registering due to input lag. Being a strategy game, you naturally expect a somewhat slow pace, but here, things are nearly at a glacial pace. The problem is that they’re unresponsive and everything seems to take longer than it should.
The controls are laid on well enough in theory, with X confirming, O going back, and square and select allowing you to alter troop or town settings with sub-menus. We’ll get to those later since they’re actually quite good and deserve their own section instead of being lumped in with the many problems with the strategy portion of things. During an invasion of a new area, you’ll either take part in a battle mode with a traditional match 3 setup, or when going to an empty area for loot, go into a different kind of match 3 with spinning pieces and locks to add to the strategy. You go from area to area hiring an army using winnings from the puzzle section to hire new troops of either a particular kind you already have, or a new kind of troop. First, let’s go over the mechanics of everything since they’re fairly logical and in theory, shouldn’t be too hard to execute. Most of your time in the game will be spent on the strategy portion, which has the most depth, but is also the game’s weakest point due to the control setup. Tiny Token Empires is largely a strategy game with a puzzle game in there for good measure as well. There, you had a game that mixed the trappings of one genre with a puzzle game and it was quite good and user-friendly even if you weren’t a fan of RPGs, but enjoyed puzzle games. In theory, the idea of a puzzler mixed with another genre can work - like the RPG/puzzle hybrid Puzzle Quest.

The PS3 version we’re covering is a port of a PC game, and it definitely plays like a game meant for PC that has been poorly transferred to a different control setup.
Tiny Token Empires is a tale of two games - a perfectly fine match 3 puzzle game with some variety, and an incredibly frustrating strategy game.
