With Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords, developer Infinite Interactive delivered the impossible -- an addictive puzzle game with deep role-playing elements, clever writing and broad appeal across multiple platforms and demographics. The only place to go is up.
Building on the success of the original, Infinite Interactive is developing a new game in the series called Puzzle Quest: Galactrix. But this time, the setting is among the stars of a distant galaxy rather than a medieval-style fantasy kingdom full of monsters and magic.
Hardcore Gamer: The Puzzle Quest games have been big hits in the digital era and have breathed new life into puzzle games by applying some RPG gameplay mechanics to the genre. Now, instead of spending $10 for the Galactrix and Challenge of the Warlords entries, you can get them both for only $1 each.
In this second of four parts, we discuss how games based purely on luck are little more than immoral cash cows for the people who produce them - and represent some of the worst design choices out there.
In this episode the guys talk about Quantum Conundrum, DayZ, Rainbow Moon, Heroes of Ruin, SCHAR: Blue Shield Alliance, Sushi Castle, About To Blow Up Part 1, Wushi, Grand Slam Tennis 2, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD, Puzzle Quest: Galactrix, some news and plenty more.
But I liked the monsters and magic. They have shown that they are good creative developers, I'm sure this will be a good game. However I would like to see a demo of it before I buy it.
I fully admit to being a magic nerd, but I am just not much of a scifi nerd.
