Found it to be much like Puzzle Quest with a twist.

User Rating: 8 | Puzzle Chronicles DS
After going thru the tutorial, which I suggest that you do, I found that the idea is very much like Puzzle Quest, but with a much more RPG likeness. Now that I have lvl'd up several times, I see where this game is going. You can add armor, buy and sell items with merchants, and follow the storyline much like any RPG out there. I agree with the critics, the art work could be very much improved, but I find it fun, relaxing, and will continue to play it to the end. I haven't had any control problems so far, but found the controls to be super easy to use. I feel this is a solid game and if the art work were better, it probably would be rated alot higher. I am always on the look out for good RPG's whether its on a handheld or PC, etc.. If anyone has any doubts about buying this game, have no fear, for it does present a good storyline with all the RPG attributes-just ignore the art work and you, too, will enjoy it.
