About Troll Patrol
"Troll Patrol" is a puzzle game which combines the tile-matching and RPG genres by offering a unique experience: Play as the last defender of the threatened troll den where vicious village people and heroes from far away castles and kingdoms knock down your door.
Stand firm, take whatever weapon is close and fight them off to get your family and friends to safety. Protect what is rightfully yours, your home, your heritage. They come for blood, for revenge, to still their blood thirst. But you won't allow it.
Fight of waves of enemies, each consisting of at least 50 turns. Each turn you can collect connected tiles which will yield rewards depending on their type:
At the end of each wave you will encounter a boss enemy who is stronger and more dangerous than any other enemy you encountered on your way so far. Defeating him can unlock new features and new enemy types. Completing a wave may even trigger a random event that will offer you multiple choices to resolve it.
After your first patrol you may also select one of multiple offered quests which will yield you tentacles and other rewards which can be used to purchase permanent upgrades for your cave.
Will you be the saviour of your people? Or just another worm, crushed under the heels of those so-called heroes?

- Shields will replenish your armor and count towards your loot value. Collect enough and you can improve your items. You might even find explosives.
- Coins will allow you to purchase stronger weapons and more powerful armor.
- Swords can be connected with enemies to deal them damage. Killing them will increase your experience which will lead to levelups and new and better skills.
At the end of each wave you will encounter a boss enemy who is stronger and more dangerous than any other enemy you encountered on your way so far. Defeating him can unlock new features and new enemy types. Completing a wave may even trigger a random event that will offer you multiple choices to resolve it.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Having put seven hours into the game, the amount of progress toward unlocking everything without any real increase in variety (character, boards, items, etc.) has led to monotony issues. I've played seven hours without a lot to show for it, and the game hasn't become more interesting or engaging. I enjoy matching games because I'm a fairly casual gamer, but I'm not wanting to put much more time into this one, which is a shame since I also like progressing in games. If you see it for a couple of dollars, then it's probably worth it, but I feel like I'd have to invest so many more hours to unlock the additional characters, weapons and other items without the game providing anything to keep my interest. It's a cool concept, but I doubt there will be any further updates or development on this one.2 found this helpful
[i]Dungeon Raid[/i] is dead for ages, fortunately now I have [i]Troll Patrol[/i]. Nice remaster on [i]the[/i] best match-3 game in the world.1 found this helpful
This really scratches that Dungeon Raid itch. This game has better graphics and can be played on the PC, so those are definite pluses. I would absolutely recommend this game especially if you like games like Dungeon Raid.1 found this helpful
It's a nice twist on match 3 games, even works well on the steam deck with the touch screen.
It's just a great game
Plays a lot different from what I expected. There is no "adventure" mode like in Puzzle Quest or 1000000/YMBAB. Still fun tho.
