ALICE Fiction - Puzzle RPG

Fast puzzle battles meet anime gacha in a stylish metaverse adventure

ALICE Fiction – Puzzle RPG throws you straight into a neon-drenched metaverse where high-speed panel smashing is the star of the show. Instead of the usual slow, turn-based matching, battles here are all about chaining as many panels as possible within a brief time limit, then watching your characters unleash flashy special attacks based on how well you performed.

The core gameplay feels refreshingly brisk. You tap to break colored panels, trying to line up big combos that trigger character skills and powerful “Crash” attacks. It’s easy to grasp but has enough nuance, especially once you start building parties around synergy and timing. Auto and speed options help with grinding, but the most satisfying moments come when you manually nail a last-second chain and turn a fight around.

Visually, ALICE Fiction leans hard into its sci‑fi metaverse theme. Menus and battle screens glow with a clean, futuristic UI, while character art is detailed and vibrant. The fully voiced story scenes (in Japanese) and energetic EDM soundtrack give the world a distinct identity, supporting a narrative about lost memories, “Lost Avatars,” and digital personalities gone wrong.

Like many gacha-driven RPGs, progression depends heavily on collecting and upgrading new characters. Pulling favorite Folklores can be exciting, but the reliance on random draws and resource grinding will feel familiar—both the hook and the downside of the genre. Some players may also find the level structure and events a bit repetitive over long sessions.

Overall, ALICE Fiction – Puzzle RPG is a slick, fast-paced take on puzzle combat wrapped in a stylish metaverse story. If you enjoy character collecting, anime aesthetics, and short, punchy battles that reward quick thinking, it’s well worth diving into this “fake world” to see how deep the rabbit hole goes.
