Summary
Designed specifically to entertain both casual and hardcore gamers with its deep immersion, five to fifteen minute play sessions and turn-based play style, Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords incorporates strategy, role-playing elements and a persistent storyline in a puzzle board setting. Set in the Warlords universe, the game challenges players to create, develop and customize the ultimate hero in order to save the land of Etheria from evil Lord Bane. To advance their character, players battle in turn-based, head-to-head "match-three" style puzzle games in one of three distinct gameplay modes: Single-player allows gamers to battle against the AI as they embark on over 150 challenging quests, Instant Action allows gamers to jump in and immediately play continuous battles to level-up characters without participating in quests, and Multiplayer allows gamers to battle live opponents. Victory will advance the player’s hero, magical arsenal, creature companions and more - ultimately rewarding gamers at nearly every turn and providing endless hours of replayability.

It will ruin Bejeweled for you forever, because you will be longing for some consequences beyond just getting points! You will also quickly descend into 'just one more turn' territory until you make your way to the end, which will take dozens of hours.

A splendid puzzle made glorious on PC. [Apr 2008, p.70]
PC Zone UK
Because of the deep sense of planning, strategy, story and general slickness, it'll probably suck you in, anyway. [Apr 2006, p.78]
IGN
The unlikely marriage of puzzle gameplay with RPG mechanics makes for one of the most addictive experiences available to gamers today.

One of the most fun puzzle games since "Bookworm Adventures." [Jan 2008, p.74]

I recommend Puzzle Quest to all those who love the Heroes series, artworks, the number 4 and, of course, puzzles.

The minute-to-minute gameplay is tried and true, and when you factor in the long-tailed character progression, well, let's just say it's a wrap. Puzzle Quest's designers are certainly onto something here.

Wow - this sure is an addicting game. It's got the "one-more-turn" that sucks you right in to playing and playing. This is not your typical match-three game, but more of a combination RPG and match-three. BUT - this game's insidious thing that puts it above others is that when you do the game boards you have an opponent who is trying to make you lose. Sure it seems weird, but you battle all sorts of Middle-Earth denizons - from Orcs to Trolls to Dragons. Each opponent has special abilities that you must learn to defeat. And this game isn't easy!! Try it - and I know you'll like it. It has captured me and is currently holding me prisoner.
Alex W gave it an8:
Very addictive. Marred by a seeming lack of random board compositions and re-compositions that result in bias towards the opponent as a result of opponents being scaled. Less scaling would tend to make the game more of an RPG; spending time in a different area because of its higher level opponents although it PQ is not meant to be a full blown RPG anyway. The massive volume of side-quests makes this replayable for hours upon hours (upon days, and weeks) along with enough of a difference between the classes to warrant replaying. Lack of a central multiplayer server system makes multiplayer very community based which doesn't exist at the moment. Still a very enjoyable experience.

This is propably only game that has actualy made me angry. I cant belive i've actualy paid for this junker. Cant really recommend this to anyone. 1 for (not nice) try.
Azazel G. gave it a10:
At first it seems that this game HATES you and that the randomness of it all is working against you, until you start to get in the flow of how to play and then you will start to find that the randomness is working for you as well. I can not stop playing this game. I find myself doing the same quests over and over just for the sake of playing.
Bruce M. gave it a9:
Both casual and deep, it's an innovative mix of a fantasy rpg combined with a puzzle game. It really surprised me. I ding it a single point because some of the battles take longer than I'd like.
Juan M. gave it a10:
I hate this game. Its to much addictive. I just want to play a few rounds and when i realize it, 3 hours have passed.
Bones J. gave it a10:
One of the best casual games i've ever played, and one that consumed (willingly) most of my game time in 2007. It's also got to be the ONLY credible game to come out on all platforms, not hard with the likes of The Simpsons, Superman etc, but definitely something worth congratulations.
