REVIEW:
"Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords" is a captivating blend of match-3 gameplay and RPG elements, offering a truly addictive experience that's pretty much akin to virtual crack, lol.
The game's core mechanic involves matching colored gems on a grid, with each match affecting your RPG adventure by allowing you to cast spells, attack enemies, and gather crucial resources. The strategic depth of deciding between a big match or saving gems for a game-changing spell adds layers of complexity to the already addictive puzzle mechanics. As you progress through the game's quests, you'll encounter a variety of foes, each with unique strengths and weaknesses. Winning battles rewards you with experience points and loot, essential for leveling up your character and acquiring new abilities. This integration of RPG elements gives much more purpose to the puzzle gameplay, making every match feel like a step towards becoming a more formidable hero. However, it's important to note that the game is not without its fair share of flaws. One notable issue is the sometimes frustrating behavior of the AI. It often appears that the AI has more luck than skill, leading to moments of exasperation when it seems to get the perfect matches just a bit too frequently. This can occasionally create a sense of unfairness and imbalance, detracting from an otherwise enjoyable experience. Visually, the game's fantasy-themed graphics are charming, if not overly flashy, and the accompanying music and sound effects add to the atmosphere.
In conclusion, "Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords" is a game that successfully marries match-3 puzzle mechanics with RPG elements. Its addictive nature will have you hooked, constantly striving to level up and discover new spells. However, be prepared for occasional frustrations with the AI's seemingly fortuitous luck. Despite this drawback, if you're a fan of either genre or simply looking for a game that's easy to pick up but hard to put down, this is definitely worth your time. Just keep in mind the occasional bouts of frustration as you embark on this addictive puzzle RPG adventure.

Story sucks, encounters suck, I don't care. Matching colors fun
It's kind of fun at first but it's a long slog, the story is just blah, blah, blah and I swear the computer is cheating at times and getting outrageous combos. It's addicting but realized I was never going to finish it so I cut myself off. I liked this better than the Galactix ones
Interesting concept, I just don't have that dog in me to finish the match 3 RPG.
