Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords is a brand new,
genre-bending title that ups the ante on traditional puzzle games by
incorporating strategy, role-playing elements and a persistent
storyline. Set in the Warlords universe, the game challenges players
to save the land of Etheria from evil Lord Bane as gamers engage in
battles fought by means of competitive, head-to-head
"match-three" style puzzle games in one of three gameplay
modes: Single-player, Instant Action or Multiplayer. Victory will
advance a player's customisable hero, magical arsenal, creature
companions and more—ultimately rewarding gamers at nearly every
turn and deepening their immersion into the richly diverse world.
The game's remarkable mix of classic puzzle gameplay and an abundant
suite of characters, customisations, spells, companions, tameable
monsters and more provides a fresh take on the puzzle genre that
offers endless hours of replayability. Designed specifically for
handheld gaming systems, Puzzle Quest can be enjoyed in long or
short doses, cultivating a casual but deeply satisfying and
compelling gameplay experience.
Key Features
- Innovative Gameplay Style -
Strategy and role-playing elements that function harmoniously in
the puzzle gameboard setting offer a refreshing twist on classic
puzzle gameplay, fostering an exceptional depth of investment
and enjoyment.
- Head-to-Head Gameplay Mechanism -
Competitive, turn-based gameplay encourages you to plan, think
and strategize against opponents instead of just react like most
traditional puzzle games; game difficulty and progression are
related to outsmarting your enemies as opposed to difficulty
increasing solely through level progression.
- No Penalty for Losing - If you
experience defeat, you are still awarded experience points as
well as partial gold and then encouraged to try again; this
allows constant progression and avoids any feelings that
invested play time is wasted.
- Continuous Reward System - At
every turn, you will acquire helpful companions, collect or cast
powerful magic spells, gather informational "rumors,"
and obtain items like weapons, armor and money to advance your
hero.
- Short or Long-term Play Sessions -
Play in long or short doses since the depth of the game does not
waver according to the length of a gameplay session; each battle
ranges from 3-10 minutes.
- Three Distinct Gameplay Modes Offer
Unparalleled Replayability -
- Single-player: Battle against
the computer AI as you embark on more than 150 challenging
quests
- Instant Action: Jump in and
immediately play continuous battles to level up your
character without participating in quests
- Multiplayer: Battle live
opponents via wireless connectivity on both the PSP™
(PlayStation®Portable) system and the Nintendo DS handheld
system
- Create and Build a Hero - Choose
from two male and two female avatars in each of the four
character classes-Druid, Knight, Warrior and Wizard-to create,
develop and customize your ultimate hero.
- Build Your Own Empire - Build an
empire as you capture cities, build castles and gain a party of
companions that will aid you in battle
