### 1/5 — Game no longer updates (last update Feb 2026)

*2026-05-19*

If you are a Puzzle & Dragons fan, this game does not disappoint. PAD 0 brings back old school PAD style mechanics.

What’s disappointing, though, is that the developers haven’t really updated their game since February. They keep updating their event calendar, but the actual game content seem to stop sometime late 2025. Once you reach rank 600 (the maximum), there’s basically nothing left to do with the events monsters that you earn. Kind of wasting your time obtaining them.

Hopefully the have a major update soon. I’m thinking of deleting this game if nothing updates within a few months. Crossing my fingers!

Come on Gung-ho developers! You have some fans waiting for this game to have new content :)

### 5/5 — 求めてたパズドラ

*2026-03-12*

本家と比べて、全体的に改善されていて面白くなっている箇所が多くとても好みに合いました。

良い点:
・火力のインフレが抑えられているので、常にカンストを求められる本家と異なり、実質青天井。そのため落ちコンの価値が高く、連鎖が続いた時の爽快感がとても良い。
・ギミック自体は多いが、その多くがその場で対処可能。「対策スキル持ってなかったら負け確定」が多い本家と違って、頑張ればパズルできる程度の操作時間減少や雲など、パズルを面白くする要素としてちゃんと生きている。対策必須になるケースも、パーティーのキャラを1枠変えれば何とかなることが多く、本家ほど複雑でない丁度良い塩梅で遊びやすい。
・ガチャが無くクリエイトというシステムに置き換わっている。運や季節に関係なく、やればキャラを入手可能。
・全キャラが動くのでキャラ愛プレイヤーにもおすすめ。
・本家よりダンジョンが短め、かつ負けてもそこまでに入手したクリスタルは貰えるので、「長時間プレイしたのに無駄になった」と感じにくい設計になっている。

注意点
・ギミック自体は多いので、「嫌がらせギミックの無いパズドラ」を求めてる人は注意。ただ前述の通りギミックの内容自体は本家より大分良くなっていると思うし、個人的にはとても良いバランスだと思う。
・中盤以降も進めたいなら課金（永久広告免除パス）はほぼ必須。クリスタルのドロップ率がかなり低いので、無課金だと中盤以降キャラ育成が相当きつくなる。1600円の買い切りなので、「買い切りゲーム」だと思えば不満は無いのだが、ガッツリ遊びたければ課金が必須というのは念頭に置いておく必要があるかも。
・覚醒スキルの数がレアリティによって決まり、最大3つ。「覚醒2つ以下」と「覚醒3つ」の格差は埋まり難く、低レアキャラのパーティー採用は厳しい。スペシャルダンジョン用や低難易度周回用の趣味パであれば使えないこともないが、強さに圧倒的な差が出てしまうのは少し残念。
・省電力モードにしても、バッテリー消費が本家より激しい気がする。

という感じで、気になる点も無いわけではないですが、全体としてとても良いゲームに仕上がっていると思います。
興味のある方はとりあえずやってみて、気に入ったら広告免除パスを買う、という流れがお勧めです。無料体験版付きの1600円買い切りゲームとして見ても、とても良ゲーだと思います。

### 1/5 — The monster crystal drop rate is ridiculous!!!

*2026-02-21*

Nearly 30 runs in a row, not a single 6-star monster crystal. This is garbage!!!

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-02-07, version 1.4.1*

Really nice animation and UI. I just hope they don’t pull the game from the store like they did with the original :(

### 4/5 — 本家にはない面白さ

*2025-12-26*

ゲームとしてはとても面白いです。

本家とは違い、ガチャ要素が無く全てのキャラを時間さえかければ入手可能なため、インフレも殆どなく気長に楽しめます。

ただ、キャラの育成が物凄く大変。
本家は育成の要素こそ多いが、山ほど貰える育成素材を使って文字通り秒で育成が完了する。

一方でパズドラゼロは、一定までレベルを上げると素材が必要になり、20→30は比較的楽だが、50→99がとにかく鬼畜すぎる。
40→50分も合わせて大抵のキャラが20クリスタル(これは同ステージを10回周回しなければならない。)を要求してくる。
その上、キャラによっては確定で出るわけではなく、2体からランダムでステージが進むまでどちらが出るのかわからない仕様なので、実質20周回しなければならず、結局1体をレベル99に上げるのに数時間かかる。

本家とは違って育成にやりこみ要素を求めてくるのは別にいいが、流石に度が過ぎていると感じる。
あと、ボーナスステージという簡単に素材を集められるステージはあるが、1日2回な上、全キャラが出るわけではなく、なんなら素材が欲しい高難度ステージのキャラは全く出ない。

なので
回数制限か、マナとの交換で、既クリアステージの周回をさせて欲しい。
このゲームの良さは運要素なく色々なキャラを入手して自由にパーティを組むことだと思うので、育成で時間を溶かすのは正直ストレス。

長々と文句は書いたが、評価に関してはちゃんと星4だと思う神ゲーなので改善よろしくお願いします。

### 2/5 — Crashing

*2025-12-24, version 1.4.0*

I don’t know if this is just me but the game play itself is fun however I can’t do more than 3 turns without the game crashing so have to close it down and reopen constantly to play the game. After a couples of times I stop playing because it gets tedious.

### 3/5 — A nice refreshing spin of the original PAD

*2025-12-20*

PAD 0 is less cluttered and chaotic than the original PAD and it doesn’t have gatcha mechanics. I like it. But, my game crashes quite often… battles will freeze midway and I have to quit and relaunch. Good thing they added a battle resume feature. It’s annoying but still playable through.

### 1/5 — Terrible experience

*2025-12-10*

This game over heats alot. The game depends on ads since you’re limited to 5 stamina and you have to watch ads for the rest. The ads are the worst. They make you watch several ads in one sitting, the loading bar means nothing since it is fast at first and slows down significantly, as it reaches the end, and it’s not even done when it’s at the end. The ad just keep looping. When the X button appears, it’s extremely difficult to click it and sometimes the game doesn’t even register the ad as watched

### 5/5 — You may now leave the app

*2025-11-07*

App no longer crashes almost every time you lock your device or switch apps. Love this correction and am very glad they’re taking feedback seriously

### 5/5 — Better than the original

*2025-10-18*

It doesn’t have gatcha mechanics and it only asks for one time fee to remove ads.
