About the Game

In "Match! The 12 CZ Wars", the 12 Zodiacs are personified as 12 unique Zodiac Maidens with distinct personalities and skills. When ancient primordial beasts suddenly invade, you must lead them to fight back!

【Build a Synergized Team】

In each run, choose 3 Zodiac Maidens. Pay attention to their Yin-Yang attributes — different combinations unlock unique magic artifacts. The right artifacts will double your efficiency!

【Choose Your Path Wisely】

During each floor’s battle, selecting an event card will alert the floor’s boss. Plan your route carefully: prepare before the boss fully notices you, or challenge it early for greater rewards!

【Manage Resources Strategically】

Earn coins and insights through battles and random events to upgrade your Maidens, unlock passive skills, and forge countless paths to victory.

【Diverse Combat Mechanics】

Consider positioning, Five Elements cycle (mutual promotion and restraint), attack/defense attributes, and passive counters. Move tiles to trigger match-3 combos, command Maidens, and crush foes with high-damage chains!

【Humorous & Referential Story】

Discover main quests, side stories, anecdotes, and Zodiac archives — tens of thousands of words filled with lore, easter eggs, and tributes.

【Epic Crossovers】

"The 12 CZ" will collaborate with other indie games. Will you meet beloved characters or even indie developers in the Maidens’ world? Explore to find out!
