Customer Reviews of Puzzle Quest Challenge of the Warlords

A great game, but slightly repetitive.
The DS has some very interesting, unique, original games being written for it, and Puzzle Quest is definitely one of them. It's part RPG, part puzzler. The story is not really all that interesting, and there's really only one type of puzzle, but there's something very different and fun about defeating monsters by playing them in a puzzle game. I only give it 4 stars because of the bland storyline and repetitive nature..but as you progress, and level up, you do get some interesting powers that make the puzzle playing more interesting. I definitely recommend it. Did I type the word "puzzle" enough in my review? Sorry about that.

Great twist to standard puzzle games
I really enjoyed the RPG aspect that was incorporated into what could have been a rather typical puzzle game. The battles are interesting and fun, because you aren't just trying to win. You're also trying to collect money and experience based on what you do within the puzzle itself. I will say that the battles can get tedious after you've been playing the game for a while, but that's broken up with the different types of puzzles offered for crafting runes, capturing enemies and researching spells. All in all, a very addictive game that's also great fun.

Incredibly addictive mash of puzzle and RPG elements
With all the various puzzle games available for the DS, there isn't really all that much anymore that can make one stick out more than another. Puzzle Quest manages to stand on it's own thanks to it being an incredibly addictive mash of puzzle and RPG elements that set it apart from the rest of the pack. Starting out as a typical RPG, you perform combat by partaking in puzzles that are reminiscent of Bejeweled. You take turns moving pieces around and the game even requires some strategy to it as well. The fact that the puzzle and RPG elements are combined here, and that they actually work as well, is reason enough to pick up Puzzle Quest alone. The game's overall presentation is fresh and the main quest is incredibly long and also features some incredibly addictive puzzle gameplay that will keep you playing Puzzle Quest for quite some time. The only downsides to Puzzle Quest are that the puzzle field is cramped on the bottom screen of the DS, and it's easy to miss something in the heat of gameplay. Not to mention that many of the enemies throughout the game can be very frustrating, but the good definitely outweighs the bad here thanks to the addictive gameplay. All in all, Puzzle Quest may sound like an odd hybrid of two genres that have seen well worn entires on handhelds, but make no mistake that this one of the most fun experiences you'll have either way on the DS right now.
