Puzzle Game Takes Adventure To New Levels

Posted: 7/21/2010

"Puzzle Quest 2" uses fantasy characters and story as a way to deliver more of the rewards and mental escape that puzzle gamers crave.

(NAPSI)-For many players, the best games are the ones that let them explore a fantasy world and take part in great adventures.

"Puzzle Quest 2," the new puzzle adventure from Infinite Interactive, is a fun game you can play at home or on the go. The entertaining adventure is fun when played in small spurts to wind down from a fast-paced action game or in long stretches. Its mix of puzzle gaming and role playing serves as a great mental escape for hardcore gamers, while casual video game fans will appreciate the adventure and character development that make the game deeper than an average puzzle game.

The game features a blend of match-3 gem matching and fantasy; it offers a rewarding journey for players of all skill levels as they make their way to reclaim the once peaceful village of Verloren from the evil clutch of the demon Gorgon.

In the game, players get closer to the action with a more intimate viewpoint of the world and can choose from any of four character classes-Sorcerer, Templar, Barbarian or Assassin-each providing interesting twists on class-specific mechanics for hours of replayability.

More Active Elements

Unlike other puzzle games where players execute gem matches to simply score points, "Puzzle Quest 2" uses gem matching as a metaphor for action. This version of the game available for Nintendo DS and Xbox Live Arcade for Xbox 360 features more active elements that let players use gems to build strength that lets them:

• battle monsters and villians

• attack with weapons or spells

• gain rewards and customize characters

• break down doors and solve puzzles

• use sidekicks to access never- before-seen spells, and

• actively equip shields to wield in battle, making every move meaningful.

The game also features an immersive fantasy universe with vivid color, depth and life for a much bigger sense of exploration. The focus on battles drives players forward, allowing them to progress through the story for a much deeper adventure.

Various Levels

Designed to be easy to learn but hard to master, "Puzzle Quest 2" adds rewards that let players customize their character. Players can also challenge each other with multiplayer and online leaderboards, experiencing new levels of challenges with their customized character.
