Overall, I found Clash of Puppets a consistent, nicely done platformer. Its battle pacing and shooting are a bit flawed, but it’s still a fine game with lots of levels, weapons, and enemies. The vampires still suck, though.

Critic reviews
- 6.0And really, not ideal is the best way to describe Clash of Puppets. I like its multi-faceted combat, but its odd theme, frustrating difficulty, and flawed controls make it only really recommended for those early adopters of the MOGA Ace Power with some patience.
- 7.0I feel like there aren't that many 3D platformers of reasonable competence on the App Store at the moment. Like in the early 32-bit era, there's room for quirky, flawed entries in the genre, and that describes Clash of Puppets pretty well. If you can forgive the padding in its level design, you're going to get a lot of value out of this game.
- As much as we like Charlie (and we definitely hope to see more of him sometime), though, this is a title we have to advocate caution on. It’s a little rough around the edges, and those spots might be a turn-off for some. But, if you can get past them, there is definitely something enjoyable here.
- 6.0Though fairly fun when it comes to Survival mode, Clash of Puppets probably won’t sate gamers looking for a deep experience. The lack of microtransactions is definitely a high point, and it’s a wonderful introduction to the world of 3D platform titles for kids. But when it comes down to questions about why exactly everyone is a puppet and why objectives are so repetitive and limited, it’s hard to justify picking this one up.
- 8.0I thoroughly enjoyed immersing myself amidst a den of monsters, aliens, and even ninjas. I refuse to patronize drive-ins, even if they're a dying breed. Charlie's dreams, however, continue, and as long as he's ready for battle, puppet hunting remains high on the menu.
