Puzzle Quest - Challenge of the Warlords is a rarety in games these days - an original idea. So many games now are annual franchises, where each year a new version comes out only slightly tweaked from the year before - so when something new does actually come out, it makes a refreshing change. What makes Puzzle Quest unique is that it takes elements from two different genres of game, puzzle games and role-playing games, and combines them into a package greater than the sum of the parts. The story is typical fantasy RPG fayre, you are a young hero given the task of investigating, and defeating a mysterious undead foe that threatens the peaceful life ...  Read the complete review

If you've ever played Bejewelled, you'll know how addictive it can be. If you thought it couldn't get any better, play Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords on the DS and think again. Puzzle Quest (PQ from now on) mixes the basic gameplay of Bejewelled with traditional role playing game quests. You play a knight undertaking different quests for a variety of characters you meet. The more you complete, the more powerful you become. You can mix spells to use against enemies, buy magical items and so on. Where PQ it's different is in its combat system. Instead of a points-based fighting system, you have to defeat them at a game of Bejewelled. It ...  Read the complete review

I bought this game, Puzzle Quest- Challenge of the Warlords around 6 months ago after seeing this game for quite a while on play.com and thinking that it looked like the kind of game I like to play- a bit of puzzle combined with some kind of platform or strategy running along side it. I do still play it from time to time although not as much as I did when I first bought it. The game was released by the Australian company, Infinite Interactive in 2007 for the DS. ------------- GAME PLAY ---------- The basis of the game, with the gem swapping to create lines of three of more of the same gem to collect points is pretty simple yet strangely ...  Read the complete review

Puzzle Quest has been taken over my life just recently! After playing this at a friends house, I just had to get myself a copy. In fact, it had such an impact on me that I bought a DS especially so I could play Puzzle Quest. If you are into games such as Bejewelled or Zuma, games that rely a lot of luck with a little judgement, and also enjoy a dash of role playing in your own 'world', discovering new cities across the map - then this is definately for you! In a Bejewelled/Connect 4 style, the very base of the game is that you have to match up a minimum of 3 of the same coloured mana (stones) to enable you to use spells, whilst matching ...  Read the complete review

Puzzle Quest is a good title as it is indeed part puzzle and part quest. In the quest part of the game you are a young adventurer following a story which requires you to travel from city to city and to creepy haunts in between to fulfill mission and fight battles. You can choose your character from a number of different personae. On the way you will fight all sorts of baddies including rats, dragons, minotaurs and ogres - each victory will leave you with more experience, gold and powers. But the battles themselves are not conventional battles. They are based on the "Bejewelled" puzzle, where you line up different coloured ...  Read the complete review
