Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords (Nintendo DS, 2007)

I'm serious when I say you should think about buying this. Being a fan of both puzzle games and the RPG genre, I figured that this might be a fun way to waste some time when I was bored. I was completely right. The problem was, it also wasted time during almost any time of the day. The battles are so quick and easy you think to yourself "ah, just one more won't hurt". Then you are 70 years old with grandchildren. It is a whole lot of fun, and building up your character is easy and challenging to do. The "story" is there, but who really cares. Getting a huge combo on an ice giant and watching his hp drain away is way more satisfying than saving whatever land this takes place in.

The perfect RPG with Puzzle elements. At first glance, it looks just like Bejewelled, but once you start playing, you realize how deep the core gameplay goes. There is a map where you navigate your avatar, there is a "citadel" where you can craft items, you can capture mounts and level them up, there is a store, etc...

The Multiplayer mode is great. You can level up your character by playing against someone before launching into single-player quest mode. The game is well-tuned for this. I was level 20 before I even started questing.

Cons--the occasional art glitches and in timed mode, the pop up text (i.e., "Heroic Effort") covers up the moves (annoying because you are trying to see all the moves in a hurry).

Overall, a great, addictive game. I only wish it was easier to find in a retail setting. I have been raving about it so much to my friends but the release from the publisher was very limited. Get it on Ebay now before the price skyrockets.

I have always liked the games where you match "gems" and this is a great one with a twist. No violence at all, recommend for kids of all ages. It keeps you thinking.

This game is a blast, putting together the fun of puzzles with strategy. It's impossible to put down! Ever since I got it, I've hardly played any of my other games. It adds thought and strategy to endless opportunities to do "Bejeweled" type puzzles. Perfect combination!

1.As you all know this is one great game.

2.Same as PSP or PS2 version.

3.I just don't like the control.You have to use touch screen to move puzzle piece.
Sometime it cause mistake.I wish DS had option to move piece with controler.

If you took bejeweled or zoo keeper and added a turn based RPG you would get Puzzle Quest. The story, overworld, and items all resemble the aspects of classic RPGs but in order to progress in the game you battle via puzzle board. Taking turns you and your opponent match 3 similar gems till one is the victor.

If you like puzzle games and your like RPGs at all you will dig this game. The combo lends itself to a lengthy time eating and addictive experience. You will find yourself devoting hours into this one. DS touch mechanics make it a preferred medium.

good game, not the best game out there but good none the less ....if you are a mind person who likes puzzles and challanges then you are here

A real interesting game. Lots of interesting challenges and puzzles and lots of quests to solve. You also leval up and you can buy weapons and equipment to fight the bad guys with the big bosses also. I found it to be a very challenging game. you have to try to see.

For anyone with some Dungeons and Dragons background the quest is interesting enough to give the game a point.. and for anyone without gaming background the puzzles are fun and addictive enough to make you want to play and play. This is by far the best game I have discovered yet for DS. Easy to understand, easy to play and adjustable to meet your skill level. The characters are customizable and the story line is very good.

Etremely quick delivery. Accurate description. Very impressed. I would purchase from this seller again.

I am a Gamer. As a Gamer, I enjoy a minor amount of different genres & styles of games. I enjoy RPGs (role-playing games) such as Final Fantasy, Dungeons & Dragons, and so on. I also enjoy a good Puzzle game every so often, such as TETRIS, Dr. Mario or Bejeweled. "Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords" is like the perfect combination @ marriage of BOTH.

I originally rented & then bought it for the PS2, not knowing it already had a fan base on the Nintendo DS & the PlayStation Portable (PSP).

I then went shopping & picked up my Nintendo DS. As soon as I had that in my hands, I went looking for "Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords". I had found it used in good condition & bought it along with my DS. I really enjoyed playing it on my DS constantly trying to frantically plug in my DS to the outlet to both charge my DS & continue playing my quest(s).

For my fellow Gamers out there who like & enjoy any Puzzle or RPG games out there, I would say that *THIS* is the perfect game for you. The controls are quite easy to learn & get used to with the stylus. But for the BEST experience with it, I'd recommend that you shop around, like maybe BEST BUY, and get yourself a flexible stylus. That way you can wrap it around your finger to point & drag the gems from side to side & up & down.

You must match RED, YELLOW, GREEN & BLUE GEMS in order to acquire mana for spells & skills. The gems correspond to the elements of FIRE, AIR, EARTH & WATER (RED/YELLOW.GREEN/BLUE). You also must collect Gold for items in the same manner when you match up the Coins in the puzzle field, Skulls do instant damage to your enemy, and Red Skulls add %5 extra points of instant damage & also explode & destroy any & all gems around it & add them to your Mana Pool.

Unfortunately, I let someone borrow my original used copy only to never see it again, which is why I bought it again from here on eBay.

I *WILL* give everyone a fair warning though: **IT IS VERY ADDICTIVE!!!**

Make sure that if you must play it a lot, that you're on a vacation from work or don't have anything very important to do because you may get side-tracked easily. You may even have "nightmares" of shifting gems, LOL.

In all seriousness though, I do believe that you will all enjoy the game if you get yourself a copy.

OR, in my case, since I like it so much, I have 4 copies: Nintendo DS, PlayStation 2, PC *AND* cell phone for when I'm at work, hahaha.

I enjoy this game as it is not time constraining. Play for 10 Min or an Hr.
Combines thinking with fun. I have this for Wii, however the graffics on Wii is not that great. The DS version and Comp version graffics are much better. Good change of pace game.

Really addictive game..the best of both, puzzle games and RPG's .....Purchasing on Ebay makes it affordable fun...Recommended to all ages...

Received new item really fast, Thank you!!!! I have not been able to put it down since I purchased it.

I dislike the lack of ability to move forward in this game. The game has some concepts to occupy your attention, but when you complete the task and see that you've still failed the challenge, you become very frustrated as the game tell you you must repeat the challenge.

This game is a lot of fun and quite addicting. I love all the spells that you can accumulate and use, however it's really your logic that will solve the puzzles. I recommend this for kids, adults, everyone!

I just purchaces Puzzle Quest:Challenge of the Warlords (Nintendo DS). I had played a trial version so I knew what to expect, but for those that don't it's and RPG game that takes your character (whichever of the 4 categories with 5 characters each) that you choose all over their home lands fighting in battles against the undead, rabid rats, skeletons, knights and more. The battles aren't head to head contact fights, but puzzle battles (like a Collapse type puzzle) that each Mana (the items you are collapsing) gives you the power to cast spells against your opponent and some do damage just by removing them (skulls). You also have Gold that you can match up to gain money in battles. After battling certain opponents you may also have the option of capturing them and either using them as a mount (rats, spiders, etc.) or just learning their own spells to use in future battles (skeleton: Chill Touch, Spider: Web). This is a great game and I would recommend it to anyone who was into RPG's and battles.

this game provides that quick fix that some videogames don't have anymore.
the best puzzle game with RPG elements included. Good graphics and good music!!

i like challenge games. thne shipping was really fast and price was great. thanks the game.i really enjoy it.

Great Puzzle Game for Nintendo DS. Try this game right after I got it and the game play and story line are awesome! Love the drag and drop function!

This game is amatching game kind of like bejewled expect you can match skulls to cast spells on our enemy the are lots of enemys you play against and try to beat This game is very challenging and I have a hard time putting it down if you like bejewled this game is right for you

This game can be very addictive. If you like Bejeweled type games, you'll probably like this! I purchased this copy for my Mom, since I liked it for me so much! One downside is that the two player mode is only available when both players have the game. It won't do the download thing.

I wish this game was a little bit more self-explanatory. It's hard to understand what you need to do there...
