Saving...
A lot of you have already heard of the Puzzle Quest phenomenon, widely popular among avid gamers and non gamers alike, it’s available on almost every possible platform, very deep yet very easy get into, could last 5 minutes for a game or upto and entire day of just being hooked, and above all very fun game.
It is pretty late to come and talk about Puzzle Quest at this time, I mean the game has been out for nearly 4-5 years, but I’m quite sure many saw the game and overlooked it completely. I’m quite sure many didn’t even heard of it in this part of the world. it is pretty much Bejeweled (that famous popcap game that raided almost every office out there at the time) but with the usual twist of having RPG elements built in. The game plays as a series of quests, each quest has you pit against an enemy that has their own array of abilities and spells.
You start the game as a job class of choice, each job class comes with it’s own special abilities (and you can have more as you level up, by learning them from enemies, using them from your in-game mounts or capturing monsters). Quests are given through kingdoms and towns, once quests are accepted, more parts of the world map open up and even more open up as quests are completed.
Quests are a series of battles with enemies and monsters, you are given an 8×8 panel of jewels (4 elemental jewels, attack skulls, gold coins, and experiience stars), you and your opponent take turns in aligning 3 or more of the same jewel to either gain or attack your opponent by either aligning skulls or using abilities from the elemental jewels that you’ve been conserving throughout the battle. the first to deplete the other side’s health bar wins, it plays much like Bejeweled as mentioned earlier but the abilities give the game much more of a deeper challenge in the game.
Different game modes are offered throughout the game in a series of side challenges, item crafting or capturing monsters, at one point you get to build your own citedal that will allow you to access these game modes, these game modes then reward you with mounts, crafted items and learning new abilities and spells.
One of the good things about this game is that it’s available on almost every platform out there, so it is easily accessible from anywhere and can be played likewise, and can be found quite cheap for that matter.
What We Think: Very fun life suck of a game, a game you will spend hours upons playing, it’s available cheap on nearly anything so why not grab on whatever is suitable for you?
