IGN writes: "There's more to Puzzle Chronicles than just bad art and puzzle play. There's a world map, which offers up plenty of areas for exploration. Though I didn't get to see the upgrade system, I was told that it's fairly robust and allows players to decide how best to enhance their character. Your character's upgrades are persistent across the various modes (Single-Player, Versus, Quick Battle and Mini-Games), so no matter what you're doing in Puzzle Chronicles, you're always working towards bettering your hero".

Puzzle Chronicles is one of the latest Puzzle RPG games from the makers of the first Puzzle RPG game, Puzzle Quest. Something of a surprise hit, Puzzle Quest spawned a genre and other developers and publishers have been scrambling to fill demand for this new, semi-niche casual game style. It's only natural, then, that the originators of the genre are themselves continuing to tweak the formula and release iterative derivatives in an attempt to recapture the glory of their initial success.
MSXbox: Infinite Interactive, the makers of the smash hit Puzzle Quest, brings gamers another genre blending game called Puzzle Chronicles.
