Bandai Namco has released fantasy match-three game Jewel Fight: Heroes of Legend for iOS and Android devices.
Carl Williams writes, "Puzzle Quest changed the Bejeweled style of match 3 games into a role playing hybrid that took many platforms by storm. Since the release of Puzzle Quest companies have been trying to create something similar but more popular- and have failed. Even the developers behind Puzzle Quest have had trouble recreating the magic of the original through spiritual successors (Puzzle Quest: Galactrix) and direct sequels (Puzzle Quest 2). Too much was changed in those updates to the formula and fans showed a severe lack of interest. Now, Namco Bandai is taking a stab at this genre with Jewel Fight: Heroes of Legend (Android and iOS platforms). The interesting thing is, they are extremely close to creating something that could take Puzzle Quest down as the king of this genre."

WP - "Jewel Fight: Heroes of Legend is a new puzzle RPG for the iOS and Android platform. It's light on story, and it's light on characters. It takes the puzzle RPG genre pioneered by games such as Puzzle and Dragons and boils it right down to its essence for a match three game that is relatively simple yet addicting."
