Farm Heroes Saga

Farm Heroes Saga is a match-three puzzle title available on browser as well as iOS and Android devices. Each stage asks you to gather a specific set of “cropsies” (fruits, vegetables, plus resources like sun and water) within a limited number of moves, with later levels introducing tougher targets and board layouts. It clearly shares DNA with King Digital Entertainment’s Candy Crush Saga, but its farming theme and bonus-focused scoring give it a distinct rhythm.
