It's easy to see why Puzzle Quest made such an impact when first released for Nintendo DS. At its core it is Bejeweled on steroids whereas RPG and story elements add an extra layer. Nevertheless, after the first couple of hours, gameplay becomes a bit repetetive. Nevertheless, you might easily return to the game for years to come once the craving once again gets the better of you. All in all, Puzzle Quest is an innovative cross-over which deserves at least a try. Chances are that you'll like it.

Is nice to have a mix of a puzzle game and an RPG. Like everyone else says, is very addictive.... Try some of the mods. Some are quite good, some are interesting.

I found this game to be enthralling at first, but beyond about 5 hours of play it started to feel overly repetitive. I also started to develop (possibly due to excessive paranoia) that the AI can actually see a row above the top of the screen due to the number of times it made moves that should have been suboptimal but turned out to be devastatingly powerful. The AI also seemed to be reluctant to make use of its spells (at least up to the point in the game where I got bored and stopped playing) which detracted from the feeling of satisfaction in winning a challenging match.

This is really well done mixture of RPG + Puzzle(match-3). Just the problem is, this series has some bugs. I've played NDS & PC version of them, and NDS version had too many bugs, even frozen. PC version had less bugs, not too critical, however sound sync doesn't work well.

Next Gen of Match 3! Beautiful mix of roleplaying and matching. Very long playtime, have spended loads of hours on this, and still havent finished it. Graphics is splendid and the music is epic. Very much recommended.

A really excellent game. Its basic premise is the 'match 3' style that you may have encountered in other games. However, it takes this basic premise and expands it in many ways: It has a whole menagerie of RPG style stats, equipment, spells and character classes. There is a lengthy storyline, many foes to battle, capture and train as your mount. The world itself is actually more expansive than the game actually attempts to cover. I fully expect a sequel that will reveal more of the world and expand on an excellent game! My greatest disappointments with the game are the rather restrictive spell sets for each character class. It restricts you to a few limited strategies. The puzzles for additional spells are often set to 'very hard' difficulty making obtaining them impractical. Also, one can fight a long battle and find oneself defeated by the puzzle board simply randomly dropping combinations into place for the opponent and causing a massive combo of damage. Despite its flaws it remains an excellent and ultimately very enjoyable game to play. Recommended!

I have to say this is absolutely brilliant, a snap at around a tenner as well. Clean sharp graphics, brilliant score, loveable characters, engaging self-depreciating story...and depth a whole lot of strategic and tactical depth in 'battle'. One dissapointment is the multiplayer is relatively hard to access but i have been spoilt by the PSP version. I would recommend this game to everyone, it is absolutely brilliant! Put it on very hard and set a time limit for a extra challenge!

This is a great mix of RPG and puzzle game. It's more addictive than a morphine chocolate bar. Beware of installing it at work, unless you have a *very* understanding boss.
