A surprisingly good combination of puzzle solving and role-playing makes this an addictive game to pick up!
The basis of the game itself is pretty simple. You choose a character class. You have Warrior, Knight, Wizard and Druid. Each class of course has their choice of 4 different avatars, 2 male 2 female. Each of the different classes have their own benefits. But..bla bla bla. I won't go into all of that. If you want specifics on the game...read the GS review ;)
Anyway...what I enjoy about this game is the fact that it's puzzle game with a pretty good RPG skin and mechanics whittled into it. You have your special abilities that help you here and there...but the bulk of the game is really like any kind of Bejeweled rip off I suppose. You match colors up (blue, green, red and yellow) to collect Mana (which is used in casting spells and using special abilities) and also match up gold coins to get more money to buy armor and weapons and such. You also gain experience by matching up purple hearts that represent 1 experience point for each star. Anyway...not going into all that. You match up 3 or more of each to collect them. The way you deal damage to your foes besides casting spells is by lining up these little skulls. I enjoy puzzle games as it is....and having the setting of you fighting against another creature or person (via Wi-Fi) just adds a really cool compedative twist to it. Sure Dr. Mario and Tetris are fun and classic games...but it's interesting to put RPG elements into it ;)
I imagine PuzzleFighter Turbo was similar to this. I never got a chance to actually play that game on the PS. But anyway...this game is not too difficult to get into. However...finding a class you can enjoy and strategize with may be the only thing that will require some time. I've only played 2 classes so far. It does lend it self to have a bit of replay value just with that alone.
Anyway...for anyone who enjoys puzzle games..this is definitely a game to check out.
