Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords Features:

‘¢ Innovative Gameplay Style Strategy and role-playing elements that function harmoniously in the puzzle gameboard setting offer a refreshing twist on classic puzzle gameplay, fostering an exceptional depth of investment and enjoyment.

‘¢ Head-to-Head Gameplay Mechanism – Competitive, turn-based gameplay encourages you to plan, think and strategize against opponents instead of just react like most traditional puzzle games; game difficulty and progression are related to outsmarting your enemies as opposed to difficulty increasing solely through level progression.

‘¢ No Penalty for Losing – If you experience defeat, you are still awarded experience points as well as partial gold and then encouraged to try again; this allows constant progression and avoids any feelings that invested play time is wasted.

‘¢ Continuous Reward System – At every turn, you will acquire helpful companions, collect or cast powerful magic spells, gather informational “rumors,” and obtain items like weapons, armor and money to advance your hero.

‘¢ Short – or Long-term Play Sessions – Play in long or short doses since the depth of the game does not waver according to the length of a gameplay session; each battle ranges from 3-10 minutes.

‘¢ Create and Build a Hero – Choose from two male and two female avatars in each of the four character classes – Druid, Knight, Warrior and Wizard – to create, develop and customize your ultimate hero.

‘¢ Build Your Own Empire – Build an empire as you capture cities, build castles and gain a party of companions that will aid you in battle.

Three Distinct Gameplay Modes Offer Unparalleled Replayability:

‘¢ Single-player: Battle against the computer AI as you embark on more than 150 challenging quests

‘¢ Instant Action: Jump in and immediately play continuous battles to level up your character without participating in quests

‘¢ Multiplayer: Battle live opponents via wireless connectivity on both the PSP (PlayStation Portable) system.

Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords for the PSP system was co-developed by Infinite Interactive Pty. Ltd. and Vicious Cycle Software, Inc., and is rated “E 10+” (Everyone 10 and older — suggestive themes) by the ESRB.
