from what I experienced with this game it is very dull and certainly not worth the cash.
Rating: 1 / 5
I thought this game was awesome at first… To place a long tale small, this game is un-inspired, unpleasant, and bland. After 5 or 6 hours I place it down and never selected it up again. Not worth the $30 I paid for it.. The puzzle mechanics hold no right addictive potential behind them. The tale is dreadful and asinine, dull, and the horizontal layout of the puzzles is awkward. The items and spells never seem to do anything worthwhile.
All I want is another game as excellent as PQ1! But I guess I’m going to continue to get milked with fake successors like these.

Although on the surface this game looks to be a direct Puzzle Quest Challenge of the Warlords (PQ or PQCOW) clone there are in fact many differences once you play the game for a while. The actual puzzle gameplay is different–this one is more of a blocks falling Tetris feel. It is not a match 3. It is a match 4 game but with several twists. Admittedly much of the rest of it will feel familiar with a few slight alterations but there is an element of freshness here. That’s a splendid thing!
In the game the most common puzzles are either dropping blocks (make match 4’s underneath before the space fills up) or the grid based (sideways “drop” of blocks). You can grab the 3 unit huge block (they are mixed so it might be all one affect, one regular block, one rage block, one wildcard block, and so on to many many combos). You then go right with it, or let it make its way right, and you try to arrange blocks so you get things like 4 of a kind which turns into one giant block of goodness that (once it gets full energy/potential) lets you release an action (spell, rage, etc). In effect like the spells in Puzzle Quest. This part is in fact pretty basic as you are trying to push the mid point of the grid over to your opponents side. Like tug of war. Eventually if you are excellent enough it will go over and he won’t be able to get any more blocks out and you win. Victory! I’m not excellent at describing puzzle gameplay so you might want to watch a video of the gameplay to get an thought.
I will say I am still figuring out exactly the effects of certain things like weapons and armour and accessories. I reflect they have an effect but because of the way the game continues and you do not get any break to reflect it’s hard to pay attention to both the regular block gameplay and all the other pieces. IMHO it is more complicated than PQ COW because in that game you could pause to reflect about what go you wanted–there is no pause in this game which makes a different feel to the action. The blocks do not stop coming nor do they wait for you!
Graphically it reminds me of manga or anime or comics. Exagerated features and lots of line shading makes some sharp angles. No voice acting. When you start your hero (I got the guy..not sure there is a girl as I was only offered a boy. BOO on this–I want a GIRL hero!)has very minimal things on. As you add equiptment he gets outfitted. It’s quite hilarious to watch him fight in battle with the items (albiet very small) and see him on the top screen with all the items you’ve equipped–particularly as they are often brightly colored–and they don’t all match. So there is a kind of thrift store look to him but with higher class weaponry LOL. You do get a war beast early on to help you fight and you can train him up with a falling blocks game to make him have certain characteristics. It is very similar to your mount in the PQCOW game.
Music is excellent. But there are some hiccups between scenes where the music abruptly cuts off and takes a few seconds to shift. There isn’t a real pronounced lag but you’ll notice it. There are lots of loadings screens–not as much as something like Galactrix but more than other sports meeting of this type. The game also has auto save and it does that frequently. By and large the mood of the music is appropriate. I really like the battle tunes.
You won’t have any conundrum figuring out where to go and what to do. It’s very linear. There are a nice set of tutorials you can do first that are very helpful. That’s excellent because the manual is pathetic. Konami should know better.
Difficulty level is a bit uneven. I am playing on casual (simple) and it is very simple. Because I want a before bed relaxing experience that is o.k. with me. I’ve not lost any battles yet. I did try on medium and lost several battles — now I am not that splendid at the whole Tetris falling blocks type puzzles — I prefer the more match 3 type puzzles so I can’t say that this is indicative of how it would be for you (unless you don’t do well at the falling blocks one either!). I would reflect most could play on either casual or medium–and you can switch it if you like as well–very comfortably. Medium has some extra drops. There are harder settings but like I said I play to relax-I likely won’t ever both with those and can’t review them. Someone who is far better at these types of sports meeting than I can have that distinction! Abridged to Add: I’ve been playing on Medium lately. It does stretch out the battles a small and they are more challenging. I’ve got the hang of it now though and I seldom get defeated. I reflect Medium is completely doable for a play owing to.
As for the tale–well it is all right–all dialogue is in the form of boxes and it is very bare bones. So if you want to play a very character based game you should opt for something else–this one has enough to go the tale but the driving action force is really the puzzle fun. Basically (at least as far as I am) you are effective on finding your lost villagers who seem to have been raided/sold into some sort of slavery. By the side of the way other fascinating characters join you but, to date, I have not noticed that they have a huge effect on battle. Not like your companions can in the original PQ.
My bottom line: I really waffled on a 4 or 5 star rating–in reality I would say 4.3 or maybe 4.5 or so. I rounded up because, after several days of playing, I’m finding myself picking it up every night for that 1/2 hr to 1 hour before bed. That tells me it is addictive enough for me to continue to be charmed by it.
If I had to rate the PQ type sports meeting (RPG/Puzzle hybrid’s) I’d say the original PQ Challenge of the Warlords by the side of with the Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes are still best followed by this one and then Puzzle Kingdoms from last year. PQ Galactrix would come in dead last due to all its issues. While it does lack some of the charm of the original PQ Challenge of the Warlords and, on the whole, it feels about 1/2 a grade not more than that game, it is still loads and loads of addictive fun. And, after all, is that not why we play puzzle sports meeting?
