"That at least seems to be the philosophy behind Puzzle Quest: Immortal Edition, the latest release of a nearly two-decade-old puzzle game that doesn't change much, but doesn't really need to, either. Put simply, Puzzle Quest is a match-3 game mixed with an RPG. It plays exactly as you'd expect any match-3 game to, asking you to line up three gems of the same color to remove them from a puzzle board, as you would in games like Candy Crush."
"The difference is that rather than scoring points for each match, you either gain mana, deal damage to an opponent, or gain gold and experience points. Its RPG side comes from the fact that its puzzles are actually all battles that pit you against an opponent who competes against you on every board, and from its fantasy adventure storyline. But really, you won't be playing Puzzle Quest for the story."
Puzzle Quest: Immortal Edition preserves a classic match-3 plus RPG formula with minimal changes and a 4K visual refresh. Gem matches fuel mana, deal damage via skull matches, and provide gold and experience. Battles are turn-based puzzles against opponents who make matches alongside the player, and each character has spells tied to specific colored mana pools. The predictable fantasy story and soundtrack offer comfort rather than innovation. Strategic variety emerges from differing spell sets and mana colors, keeping dozens of hours of gameplay engaging as players traverse a world map and complete quests.
