Puzzle Quest: Galactrix

Last night we finally got to try out Puzzle Quest: Galactrix for ourselves, and right off the bat we realized that while Galactrix does look quite different from its predecessor, Puzzle Quest fans will find that at heart, it still feels like the same game we know and love.

The easiest way to describe the gameplay is that it’s like a Bejeweled RPG with competitive battles (either against AI opponents in story mode or against friends in online matches)

You’ve played Puzzle Quest, right? One of the biggest cult hits of the past few years, it combined colored gems puzzle gameplay (it was basically Bejeweled) with the spells, quests and monsters that usually live in role-playing games. The result was a captivating little puzzle game that mesmerized most players for 100 hours or more. A challenge then arose: when the original is that perfect, what do you do for this year’s encore?
