Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords

It seems like an easy blend of genres to come up with, so I’m a bit surprised it hasn’t happened before. D3 Publisher’s Puzzle Quest is, as its name suggests, essentially a puzzle game. It’s not unlike Bejeweled, in which you swap adjoining gems on a grid to make rows or columns of three or more. The difference with this game, for the DS and PSP, is that the various game boards have become part of a combat system, so you’ll be alternating turns with the enemy you are fighting. Instead of just looking for the next good combination, you need to look two or three combos ahead to prevent your opponent from getting opportunities and to set yourself up. Take all of that and set it in a fantasy role-playing context, meaning you’ll also be responsible for improving your character’s skills and abilities. Rated everyone.
