What it is
Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords is a match-three puzzle game with role-playing elements, developed by Infinity Plus Two and released in 2007. Its single-player campaign follows a battle to save the Kingdom of Etheria from Lord Bane. Players match different crystal types to build a spell inventory, then use spells to disrupt an opponent’s matching and reduce their totals. Skull tiles inflict damage, while experience tiles grant experience immediately. Winning head-to-head battles builds the hero character. The campaign includes more than 150 quests, and players can explore the kingdom, capture cities, build castles, and gather companions. Gold earned through titles can be spent on equipment such as helms, weapons, and armor. Quick-play offers a separate way to play classic match-three against an opponent. Steam lists single-player, multiplayer, Steam Cloud, and Family Sharing, with a Windows release. Other listed platforms are PlayStation 3, Wii, Nintendo DS, macOS, and PlayStation Portable.
