Puzzle Quest 2 Looks More Puzzle-y, Quest-y At PAX East

Posted by admin On March - 27 - 2010

2007’s Puzzle Quest was one of those games that came out of nowhere, did something completely bizarre, and somehow became a viral success. It’s hard to imagine two less-compatible genres than puzzle games and RPGs, yet somehow D3’s mad decision to warp Bejeweled into a competitive one-player game wrapped in a fantasy yarn was boundlessly addictive and created a genuine following for itself. A wildly different spin-off soon followed (Puzzle Quest Galactrix), but it’s only now that we’re finally seeing the true sequel, Puzzle Quest 2.

Gone is the sci-fi setting of Galactrix, along with the hex-based game grid. In their place are classic medieval fantasy trappings filled with witches and goblins (not to mention a less anime-influenced art style), and the familiar match-three-colored-items-falling-into-a-well puzzle mechanics. However, this sequel isn’t a mere retread of the original. D3 has built in a number of new elements and expanded on others to create a denser, more satisfying game for RPG fanatics and puzzle fans alike.
