Comparisons with Puzzle Quest are entirely justified here. Not only does the game mix traditional block puzzling with RPG elements, but it’s also made by the same people. Funny then that it doesn’t quite hit the spot. It works similar to Tetris Push: Do well matching blocks and you’ll gradually reduce your opponent’s game board (although the boards are arranged side-by-side). You can also level up your warbeast in an intriguing spin on the gem-stacking formula.
Those who’ve finished Puzzle Quest and can’t wait for the sequel could do worse, but anyone else should seek out Quest rather than Chronicles.
