Sudoku Is Your Weapon
Welcome to a puzzle game unlike anything else on the App Store. Sudoku Story isn’t just about placing numbers in a 9x9 grid — it’s a strategy defense game where your logic skills are the only thing keeping Audrey safe, all wrapped in an engaging comic-book story.
What happens when you combine the brain-training satisfaction of classic Sudoku with the tactical planning of a defense game? You get an addictive hybrid that challenges your mind in two completely different ways. You’ll need to think critically to solve the board, while thinking strategically to deploy defenses and hold off the attackers. Every correct move on the grid fires your team’s attacks against the incoming waves.
Whether you are a puzzle purist looking for a new twist, or a strategy enthusiast wanting a smarter kind of base defense, Sudoku Story delivers the authentic, original experience.
The Story
Audrey is a passionate sudoku player. A chance encounter one snowy morning embarks her on the adventure of her life. Alongside her friends, you defend against enemy hordes — and solving puzzles is how you fight back. Each board you clear advances the comic story and reveals the next page of Audrey’s journey.

Your logic pays out in panda gold. Spend it to grow stronger:
