[Game] Puzzle Chronicles

[dolson]

Developed by Infinite Interactive, this game features a new, unique, and more complex puzzle combat system than Puzzle Quest did. If you enjoyed Puzzle Quest, this is one you should check out, I'd say. I haven't played much of it yet, but I did the tutorial and a few battles, and I can already tell it's going to eat away at my spare time.

As mentioned in another thread and TRS episode, the DS game Might & Magic Clash of Heroes is another great game for Puzzle Quest fans. I even think it's better in a lot of ways, however, I still prefer Puzzle Quest. Puzzle Chronicles, on the other hand, isn't as good (so far) as either, but my opinion could change with more play time. I am at a part in COH that I just don't want to play anymore, and I never got that in PQ. Anyhow, I'm just saying, don't expect it to be revolutionary, but the game is fun and worth checking out, for sure.

I think it is only available on PSP at the moment, but maybe DS and PC? It is coming out on everything except the Wii, as far as I know, but the console version won't be out until later on. There is a PC demo available here: http://www.konami.com/imgs/puzzle-chronicles/PuzzleChroniclesDemoSetup.exe

Screenshots don't do it justice. I thought it looked bland until I tried it myself.

I loved Puzzle Quest, but for some reason none of the other puzzle rpg games that popped up after it ever hooked me. Maybe I burned myself out on it. If it's only PSP I won't be able to try it out, but maybe I'll check out that Clash of Heroes, just to see if it can recapture the magic that PQ had.

It is coming to PS3 and 360 as well, in case I wasn't clear. Metacritic says it already released for DS as well.
