Puzzle Quest Immortal Edition Switch Review

Puzzle Quest Immortal Version is a fantastic identify for this, as a result of the unique Puzzle Quest is a recreation that can by no means die. I’m not speaking when it comes to World of Warcraft, a reside service properly past its prime. I’m speaking Road Fighter 2 or Tetris, video games rereleased over and over forever. The unique PQ released in 2007 for handhelds and was a smash hit, finally releasing for consoles and PC. PQ: Galactrix launched in 2009. PQ 2 launched in 2010. Then it went to cellular, solely veering off for a PQ 1 rerelease known as PQ: The Legend Returns. So this makes it the third iteration(not counting a 2008 growth).

Puzzle Quest Immortal Version is a remaster of the 2007 recreation and contains all of the content material, plus the Revenge of the Plague Lord growth(which I by no means performed sadly) and the brand new stuff in Legend Returns. So what precisely is PQ? Its a match 3 RPG the place you battle monsters by taking turns matching gems. There are courses and spells and gear. However as a substitute of spending the subsequent 18 paragraphs going over this in-depth, I’ll simply put up a portion of the advertising and marketing blurb.

Bought it? Good! Puzzle Quest Immortal Version is a kind of video games that hooks you and hours later, you notice you’re nonetheless enjoying. Yeah the AI is a bit wonky at occasions, both decimating you in a single go, or making questionable blunders. Nonetheless, you’ll be enjoying this for a really very long time.

Nonetheless, to be sincere, I didn’t play previous the primary boss for overview. I actually didn’t want too. Again in 2007, I squeezed each ounce of recreation play out of the unique. The core recreation has not modified in Puzzle Quest: Immortal version. It’s nonetheless the good recreation it was. Nonetheless, The UI has modified, and it’s a lot higher. The map and graphics typically are additionally vastly extra detailed. The sound design sadly stays precisely the identical. There are much more aspect quests this time round, however they don’t set the world on fireplace, they’re go right here and battle that with little elaboration.

Chances are high, by the point you learn this, PQ: The Legends Returns can be faraway from the Nintendo eShop. Not stunning in any respect, why play that when you may play Puzzle Quest Immortal as a substitute? Should you haven’t performed PQ in any respect, go play this, it’s an superior recreation. When you have performed The Legend Returns, there’s not likely any motive to get this. Should you’ve solely performed the unique, it’s fully as much as you if you wish to see the brand new content material, retaining in thoughts the two expansions are back-loaded and the brand new aspect quests are poorly made. Truthfully, I’m going to must go an uncommon route and cut up the decision and rating right here. Puzzle Quest Immortal Version will get a Your Mileage Might Range Verdict with a 9 rating. Whether or not or not you wish to play this high quality recreation is absolutely as much as you.

Total: Puzzle Quest Immortal Version is the most effective model of a traditional recreation. However whether or not you must play that is utterly as much as you.

Verdict: Your Mileage Might Range
