  Well, I’m surprised you haven’t hit the download button already! Yep! Alien Hive gets a resounding Yes for Fun, Enjoyable, Challenging, Entertaining, and Engrossing. And although it does get a thumbs down for naughty in-app-purchasing pushes and in-app-ads, it is definite must have for your Android gaming collection.

  Alien Hive isn’t likely to rewrite the history of match-three puzzlers (it draws a lot of inspiration from Triple Town), and it’s kind of frustrating that micro-transactions become necessary, but overall Alien Hive is an addictive game that belongs in the library of just about any puzzle fanatic. And did we mention it’s free? Start evolving already!

  Couple the inventive mechanics with an adorably intriguing aesthetic and catchy little soundtrack, and Alien Hive looks and feels like the best puzzle game I’ve played in a very long time. Alien Hive is an evolution of the matching game and its adaptation will give it the advantage in the wilds of your home screen where apps compete for your fingers. It’s brilliant, addictive, and endlessly fun.

  6.0

  Unfortunately, Alien Hive stops being fun far too quickly. It's hard to escape the feeling that the core system is just too severe for its own good. Alien Hive has the foundations of an excellent match-three puzzler, but it spoils the mood with restrictive gameplay systems and an over-reliance on IAPs.
