[...] Kieron posted a couple of days ago about the freshly confirmed release date for Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords, on the 22nd Oct. Turns out their “confirmation” wasn’t enormously accurate, what with the game being on Gamersgate today. [...]

Puzzle quest on the DS is phenomenal. It does get tedious though, whether the AI cheats or not. Good times.

Puzzle Quest is one of those games that is so addictive that you assume must it be fun.

I suspect I’ll grab it off XBLA when it hits on wednesday – at least that way temptation isn’t directly on my PC, stopping me from doing work, instead, it’s next to my PC… But still, it’s a start!

The Stylus input makes up for it by FAR. You’ll need a screen protector though, as my Hori screens have some very distin Puzzle Quest tracks on them now, and I’d hate to see that happen to the screen directly.

A full on PC version scares me though, I spent at least a month hooked on the demo alone while trying to track down a DS copy. :(

And no, don’t take the Suggested Moves, just learn to be a cheatier bastard than the AI and you’ll be fine :)

“And even though it is, and even though the AI is a FILTHY CHEATING BASTARD, the game is utterly charming.”

“One thing I’ve learned from playing Puzzle Quest: Never, EVER, do the suggested move.”

Good to hear I’m not alone with these feelings. Even if the game is horribly based on luck, it’s still fun. I’d also say that the DS version kind of suffers from the small resolution.

The AI doesn’t cheat. It just gets the ‘negate spell’ ability later on which turns a game which already had a tenuous grip on strategy into sheer, infuriating blind luck.

Yes, the game is splendid…but the AI does cheat like a Tory cabinet member and that’s a lot.

Aye it does.

FWIW, the game sounds like it should be insufferably geeky. And even though it is, and even though the AI is a FILTHY CHEATING BASTARD, the game is utterly charming.
