Puzzle Quest 3: Match-3 RPG Positive Reviews

My 2 centsI've been playing this game for over a year now and I made it through the dev change a while back. Nothing was lost - the gear values changed (like when Warcraft did the gear crunch) and as far as I can tell it has changed back to what it was. I have made steady progress as a free to play player and while I would love to progress faster, the system feels fair to me. I finally spent 20 this last season cycle as a thank you. I'm not paying to win either. I find this game fun because my free time is scarce and I can play this casually and enjoy it. The previous seasons and grinding is not a grating experience. I love the monster and character designs and the art style overall. The UI changes for the better and for the worse depending on what the devs are trying to do and I don't fault them for that. I am very happy to have this game avaiilable. Kills my iPhone battery though - fast. So I play on the PS5..JkaypiperVersion: 3.3

New seasonThanks for opening a new season, but 10 days before you can play the next chapter is way too long. At level 35 to 39, can’t beat the boss, with out starting a new character and playing everything over again. Leveling is way to slow, other activities give next to no experience. Why is there a gold cap at 10,000? No explanation on how pets work or how to use them. Finding matching gear is also way to hard. Fix this & more for a 5 star rating..Brs0604Version: 2.1

Adapted to a mobile format, but keeps spirit of predecessorToday’s gaming market is all about micro transactions and short play sessions. The Team behind Puzzle Quest understands this and has created this game with the current market in mind. It has been moving in this direction ever since marvel puzzle quest. I do wish this was a true successor to puzzle quest: challenge of the Warlords and Puzzle Quest 2, though it seems that it’s more like marvel puzzle quest but with the theme of the original. That being said a lot of the gameplay elements that made the original so great are still here. It’s just presented in a short play session/micro transaction type of way. There’s a lot to like here. However, there are obviously many ways to improve it as well.UnknownfearVersion: 1.1.0

Old Classic - Updated!I was a fan of Puzzle Quest before I had a touchscreen phone. It was a silly RPG with little story and a really fun match-combo system. I played it for HOURS. I have played this one for a total of 10 minutes. To be totally honest, I liked the old format where the player and NPC’s were just illustrations but this looks like a “true to the original” version with a “Match 3 Timer”. That is really cool! All match-3 games should have a timer. That is killer! I expect to play this one A LOT. I may even spend money on micro-transactions if you guys made this one anything like the previous games. (I like to “buy in” to games that I feel earned my real money) On first glance, this one looks fun. Well done, folks!.Argu5Version: 1.2

:/Love the game, but they go out of their way to frustrate the F out of you with some of their mechanics choices. 3 chest opening limit means you pretty much can only play a handful of missions before you just quit because there’s nothing really else to do unless you want to throw rewards away. 10/month vip access is a joke. I would support a worthy game with maybe 3/month, but any more than that and the game is relegated to the ‘put up with for a couple of weeks and then dump’ bin. Edit: getting into the swing of the game and enjoying the PvE portion more now. The ‘match3+’ stuff is enjoyable as long as you’re not wasting your time chasing the PvP (aka peasant vs peasant) mechanics..AraczynskiVersion: 1.1.2

Like it but buggyFirst of all I like this game a lot and I would be willing to spend money on it but it’s a bit buggy on iOS right now. Every time I log in it makes me download 190MB of data that takes forever because the loading bar goes backward every so often..Smitka133Version: 1.1.0

DividedEven though I understand some critics, they maybe too harsh. For me personally portrait screen orientation would be better these days but hey, al regular PQ were landscape. Also would love offline mode but at least there are no lives or energy points to play and no in game adds (so far). Not sure about pay2play limitations. For my phone any size under 1GB is acceptable considering fine looking and 3D graphics. Was 3D necessary? No but hey. At first i wasn’t happy with turn time limit and diagonal movements possibilities but now i like it so….MisterYESVersion: 1.1.0

Unacceptably poor performance on iPad Pro (1st generation)I play this game (with reduced settings) on my iPhone 7 and on my iPad Pro (1st generation). Despite similar specs between the two devices, the game runs more-or-less fine on the iPhone, but is basically unplayable on the ipad; about half of the moves I try to make on the ipad are not registered at all, making it all but impossible to win. This particular ipad doesn’t appear to have any issues with any other game or app; just this one..Jbob4242Version: 1.1.10

Still One of the best match-3 games!If you like match three RPG type games, this one is hands-down, the best available on the App Store. Don’t even hesitate download it and start playing. It’s completely free to play very fun. Lots of depth just get started now you won’t regret it. Yes it can appear to be very expensive but im telling you im entirely free to play and i can still enjoy the puzzle game..AhahebrfiwoVersion: 1.5.6

Finally a worthy successorThe game has always felt held back by an attempt to spice up the gameplay formula with the timer. Since adding the action point system, the game finally feels more like the prior Puzzle Quest games, but greatly expanded with lots of content. The p2w seems toned down a bit, but there is a big grind here that may entice you to spend. YMMV. I’m having a great time..RedlandingVersion: 1.5.5

As unexpected as it is good.I grew up playing Doctor Who Legacy, and from that game I grew to love games that had story and involved matching three to five gems on an attack board. This game has a good story, and I like the gem mechanics as well. You do get plenty of keys and pets to open loot chests for free, so I appreciate that, too. Doctor Who Legacy may have been removed from the App Store, but this game is still here..PragmactiveVersion: 1.2

OMG..Can’t stop playing!This game is entertaining on many levels. I lose track of time every time I play this game. There’s never a dull moment. The characters are fun, with different personalities and outfits/gear. The music makes things exciting. Strategy is key. Definitely not your typical match-3 game. It offers adventure and more. So, don’t wait and hesitate—start your quest now!!!.Impressed by the Quest!!!!Version: 1.1.0

Battery Draining GameThe game was fun until I noticed the battery being drained quickly and my phone was heating up really bad. I even got a notification while trying to charge and play this game stating it would not charge until the phone resumed to, “normal temperatures.” I cannot deny that I enjoy this Modern micro-transaction approach to the sequel of my beloved Puzzle Quest 2, however, the power drainage is insane. The game is fun without a doubt, I just don’t like the overheating..BuddyinaboxVersion: 2.4.1

The best fantasy match 3 since the dark agesAs an Astartes, I’m always looking for great ways to pass the time during long voyages. This game is better than fighting a horde of tyranids! My Psyker friend recommend this to me before he entered the warp, and I have to say, he didn’t steer me wrong. Some things I enjoy about it: * Unabashed combat against the game’s fantasy world’s xenos using a pseudo time based match 3 mechanic. Definitely the most innovative match 3 rules I’ve played yet. Glory to the golden throne! * Beautiful graphics - really helps distract me from my grim dark reality. * I haven’t seen any in-game ads yet, which is a good thing, because I’m starting to suspect they’re creatures of the warp..Rbt1/32Version: 1.1.0

Sad implementationGear does not affect the look of your character. Progression becomes gated behind waiting or money. Poor animations. Has a lot of potential, sadly thrown away. Would have loved to pay $5 or $10 for a premium experience. Edit after more play: If you stick it out you can get by the progression walls. I still really dislike the monetization model. Disappointed regardless of considering this a sequel to puzzle quest 2 or gems of war..ArriEllieVersion: 1.1.2

Absolutely destroys your batteryI love the puzzle quest games and I am super excited that it’s back, BUT the devs really need to do better when it comes to battery life. Puzzle Quest 2 was already a battery hog for being a 2d game and this one takes the cake. I have an iPhone Max and it can barely last a few hours before this game consumes over 70% of my daily battery life. It’s ridiculous. I love the game, please, do better on battery life..ZurielbarronVersion: 1.1.0

A Must Have!I don’t often write reviews, but I just had to for this game! If you are a fan of any of the Puzzle Quest games, you are going to fall in love with this game. The value for your money is better than most games in this genre. I played for hours without spending any money it is fantastic!.Cricket52165Version: 1.1.2

Unable to proceedThe game was off to a good start. I have mixed feelings about the 2s timer to make multiple matches, but tentatively okay with it. Lots of content around the battles. I got to the point where it asked for a review, and since I am unable to proceed. I cannot move anything on the battle screen, even the options button is broken. Clearing the app didn’t help, nor did a full delete and reinstall..Zenara42Version: 1.1.0

Phenomenal Game!!This is probably my favorite game in the App Store right now. Great graphics, gameplay and replay value. Entertaining storyline and just a fun game overall. Great job by the entire team that put this game together! By far the best game of its kind and challenging yet rewarding at the same time..Killaray31Version: 1.1.10

Already hooked!This is my first puzzle quest but I’m all in! I’ve never been for match 3 games, but this integrates RPG and loot elements you see from AAA games. And the best part is it doesn’t feel like a cash-grab mobile game. Highly recommend!!.ImmahippieVersion: 1.1.0

Really Fun game, huge battery drainThe game is really fun and I enjoyed the gameplay. The biggest thing that made me stop is my phone battery would die very quickly and would get very hot. I lowered all the settings and this still occurred. Wish they could fix this cause would love to pick the game up again..BrimjobsVersion: 3.0

Super fun gameBeen playing for a bit and this is a great update to the Puzzle Quest franchise. Graphics are great, I’m loving building up my character, and the puzzles have a lot of strategizing. Looking forward to more updates and content!.IamchriswallaceVersion: 1.1.0

Fun but…This game is very fun but it drains my battery like crazy and I’ve got a 13 pro max.MTaylo050Version: 1.1.0

Very fun, but a pretty big divide between free to play and spending(Review written about 1 week into playing a couple hours a day) First, the game itself is classic Puzzle Quest stuff - good gameplay loop, lots to upgrade and tinker with. The story, while nothing awe-inspiring, is actually enjoyable as it’s presented. It looks fine, sounds good, and runs well, even on my older iPad Air 2. It does drain battery life pretty significantly, but that’s kind of par for the course for most mobile games. Unfortunately, it gets to be VERY slow to progress through the game without spending money. I’ve tried to keep on top of upgrading whatever I can, but I’m finding that I need to grind out a lot of upgrade materials just to beat story quests. This would be fine, except the chests that you get materials from need keys to open, and if you don’t have keys, they take set amounts of time, depending on chest rarity, to open, up to 24 hours for the rarest. Extra keys cost resources, which cost real world money, etc etc. Don’t get me wrong - I’m fine with a bit of pay for convenience in freemium games like this. Developers need to make money somehow. It just feels like the formula is a bit too slanted towards pushing the player to pay right now. Try the game out, see if you like it, but hopefully it receives some tweaks to at least make story progression not so daunting..CoderaspberryVersion: 1.1.2

Not optimized, major battery drain, not ESG friendlyPros: *Different classes with unique spells for each class. *Fun to play with gears for max/min . *Kingdom system to help with obtaining equipments. *Good time waster. Cons: *Lots of grinding but cannot do so on the go due to battery drain! *Long wait time to open chests unless pay for keys *VIP system, we all know how this goes for freemium *Battery drains extremely fast (iPad pro 12.9 & 13 pro max) *Not optimized, device heats up (iPad pro 12.9 & 13 pro max).LuckyXsoulVersion: 1.1.0

Good game… but it drains batteryMy phone overheats and dies qui kly when playing. I’d normally delete the game, but it’s well done and fun to play! Please fix it!.SiricareVersion: 1.1.0

Not bad but not puzzle questCan’t seem to see the puzzle quest remastered version on iOS, wondering why not? The developers for this game should take a step back and play the original and understand why it was the hit that it was, as much as I like freemium gaming there really is no excuse….Mskaos69Version: 3.3

Fun game but major issuesThe battery drains like crazy and heats my phone up in under 5 minutes. Also, the free to play side is insanely expensive. I have no problem with some IAP, but the amount of money being asked for any upgrades is utterly insane. $13.99 a month for VIP? Come on now… Update: the latest version cut the frame rate in half.

Puzzle Quest 3: Match-3 RPG Negative Reviews

It’s just not the same.I rarely ever write reviews, but for this terrible followup to one of my most beloved puzzle games, I felt compelled to. PQ started out with a lovely rpg feel - that is, it felt like a proper game (and it was, for that matter). This feels more like a feckless cash grab with pretty, if generic, graphics intended to milk the last drop of what goodwill the original PQ earned. PQ2 failed to meet the original mark as well, but it too was a proper game, if notably lesser. This third entry lacks any semblance of the original soul of the series. If you have any measure of love for the original, make a hard pass on this one. There’s no character customization, it varies much too wildly from the original formula, and strives with sickening desperation to sell $8 limited time item packs using gross levels of fomo, without making even the basest of attempts to imply these goods are able to be freely earned at great effort, primarily via sinking time into the game. It’s honestly so far from what I would consider acceptable that I struggle to come up with constructive criticism. If anything, I implore the devs to take a long, hard look at the original and rethink this whole line of development. You can make a ton of money and still make an amazing game, devs - please don’t forget that..MerilTheRoseVersion: 1.1.2

Game failed after three days and expensive to playAfter playing the game for three days, it fails. It will stuck on ‘Loading assets’ and won’t move any forward when I try to battle in story, skirmish or dungeon mode. This game limits you with three chest slots. I have to earn different rarity keys to open each rarity chest or you use minions to open them but this can take a long time depending on the chest’s rarity. When all of your three chest slots are full, sorry, you can only salvage your chest for approximately 5% of its real value if you don’t have any more key. Now after the minion opens the chest, you will reap the reward. However, minion will need to rest because opening a chest is really hard work. I had a minion the need to rest for 36 hours after opening a chest! You want more keys? Pay premium. You want the minion to open the chest right away? Pay premium. You want your minion to recover immediately after opening a chest? Pay premium. The monthly subscription is $10 while most other games charge $5! I won’t mind pay $5 a month but not $10, not worth that much..MaxRPGerVersion: 1.1.0

A bug filled, haphazard game with no redeeming qualitiesThe Dev’s hook you, then get you to expend a lot of time and energy to gather your strengths and playing style, the “upgrade” the game without warning and leave you with worthless gear. Previously, before the spell book change, you could pick and choose what set of spells you wanted to work on, and upgrade those spells first. Gone with the update. Now you upgrade a “Book” at 1000x the previous cost and can only gather the required upgrade pieces randomly. Very randomly. Then along comes the gear “update”. No longer can you choose a specific piece to upgrade. It is all random. This game has turned itself into a roulette wheel. You can spin it, but you have no control over the outcome. Finally, you hard time and money turned gear got wiped out as the Dev’s, without warning but the again they care not for you, the quality of the gear gets re-done and you lose your entire playing power. Sending in support tickets just elicited a Dev’s ire, and responses that are uncaring. Just spare yourself, send them your money and do not play the game. That outcome will happen whether you play or not..HerrRickVersion: 3.1.5

Review from a fan of previous puzzle quest versionsI really wanted to like this game and I did when I first got it. It has a lot of the same elements of the original puzzle quest. But after playing it for a while I realize that it could’ve been so much better. The original puzzle quest gives you the option of going to explore new lands and deciding on which quests you’re going to go on which gives a sense of adventure. This one is very linear. You don’t have any options other than playing side games and that largely is spending time trying to build up your heroes equipment and powers. Eventually it just gets to the point where you’re in just a big circle playing side quests and hoping to get enough of the extra things you need to upgrade various parts of your character. There’s no big pay off at the end like the original puzzle quest. It just seems to go on and on and on. Worth downloading and playing if you’re a fan of the original but keep in mind this is a pale comparison..Itsjustme123Version: 1.2

New update is terribleThe game now locks up on story mode. And I have to restart. The gear section is terrible and I would like an option to go back to the older style. I cannot tell what stuff is by looking at it and even when I click on it it cannot tell the level. You have to go into gear to get to spells. It is horrible. Please revert. I have played all original classes to level 50 and completed the stories. I play the events and challenges every day and I have had one legendary item drop from chests and never had a glyph for evolving gear past epic, the only way to get glyphs is to use a ridiculously large amount of gems to get a random one or pay money. The game is setup to pull huge amounts of money out of the player on a regular basis. I paid $10 to get the upgraded quest rewards and it is only good for one month. If you want the good shop items you have to pay for the VIP pass which is also a monthly fee and then pay more for in game currency to get the items. It is ridiculous..Sin_nombreVersion: 1.3.1

Not Very Good, Don’t waste your time. TRUST ME.First off, I have a IPhone 13 Pro Max, this game makes it so hot I feel like it’s going to melt or explode. For the actual review: Get your credit card ready to buy all the in game currency and materials to level up your gear score. The “Gear Score” means nothing since every enemy hits like a truck. For example the fake “PvP” mode, I was pitted against characters with generally the same gear score yet I was defeated within about 3 turns due to the fact the computer doesn’t have to match gems or skulls. They do a flat damage that destroys you. Honestly when I heard about Puzzle Quest 3 I was excited I actually remember buying the original on PS Vita. I was hoping more of the same but it is far from that. Gone are the enemy turns where they match gems and skulls to do damage to you. Say hello to over priced micro-transactions. Not worth your time. I’ll stick to playing the Original on my PS5 or playing something worth my time like Elden Ring..Rwilliams1309Version: 1.1.0

Ruined By Aggressive MonetizationThis game makes me sad. PQ has, traditionally, been a great match-3 RPG, with a great combo of puzzle and character-building gameplay. That’s still there, but it’s now so overburdened by annoying monetization, the joy gets buried. Win your battle? Here are your rewards! … if you have the right key. (But you can buy the keys with real money….) Send a minion to get your rewards? Great! … If you have an open spot to do it. (But you can buy another slot with real money….) Quickly teaches you that the way you ACTUALLY get your rewards is by paying for them. In the end, it’s poorly implemented, over-aggressive MTX—ripped straight from other games, cranked up to tighten the pinch, and completely mismatched with PQ3. Add to that the frequent hard locks forcing restart and the incomprehensibly bad UI, and PQ3 becomes easy to skip. Too bad, as there’s a good game buried where few will pay to see it..BlueDev1101Version: 1.4.5

Horribly optimized, and miserable mtxI’ve loved Puzzle Quest games since the beginning, so when I saw there was a third, I immediately jumped into it. Gameplay is solid, with a nice timed mechanic that makes actually playing the game enjoyable. However, that feeling is utterly destroyed once you quickly realize how aggressive and repulsive the microtransaction elements are. At low levels, it can take upwards of 12 hours to unlock one simple reward chest, unless you use crystals (and lots of them). And if you don’t speed it up? You rapidly run into the difficulty wall, where your character is significantly underpowered against normal campaign opponents. You can try grinding up in other activities, but the items you need are locked in chests, and without keys (of which you might have 2 or 3), you’re stuck waiting hours fir them to open. Oh, and you can only do that for 3 chests total. The rest get junked without ever opening them. The other issue I’ve found is one of optimization. Using a 2019 iPad Pro, I’ve lost upwards of 10% battery in under 30 minutes, while I had my charging cable plugged in. I’m mildly surprised this game didn’t accidentally cause my iPad to discover sustainable fusion. Simply put, this game is exceedingly disappointing, and not worth your time and energy..XSal101xVersion: 1.1.0

A sad excuse for a puzzle quest sequelPuzzle quest 3 is a sad excuse in trying to monetize what used to be a great game. The gameplay is mindlessly repetitive with the constant need for upgrading gear and spells that add nothing but increasing stats. The upgrade tree starts simple but after several hours you realize will require an ever increasing need of resources. Once you upgrade the game automatically makes the gameplay harder so that there really isn’t any advancement and you keep repeating the same tasks over and over and over again. The only reason this game received two stars instead of one is because there is some strategy still involved in the game which made it entertaining at first until you realize the monotony. The 2 second timer is an interesting twist I enjoyed. I had high hopes for puzzle quest 3. I am sadly disappointed..BeckmasterVersion: 1.1.0

The original PQ was betterI’m a big fan of the original puzzle quest game. It had more of the role play elements. In the original game The original story had a lot more quests to it. It also had some side quests that played into the original story. There were more worlds to explore and play. I finished the main story already so it doesn’t really make me want to play anymore because there aren’t any more levels it’s just side quests to level up a character that is already leveled up past 50. The side quests don’t really add anything else to the game and it doesn’t seem to give you the option to play the game again with a higher difficulty than you already have done. Once you’ve finished the 15 chapters of the main story it’s basically done..PhosfreaksVersion: 2.0.2

Has potential but not F2P friendly and issues abound!The atmosphere, character design, graphics, and storyline are great. However, that is the only positives about this game. For those who do not have deep pockets, BEWARE! The grind is extremely painful especially after completing chapter 1. The AI is entirely too strong killing you after just a few turns. There is no daily login rewards only the same pack from store. Also, I have experienced occasional issues with freezing on different levels where no tiles can be moved. I have to force close the app and open again to fix. Similar titles in this genre are much more polished. I understand this was recently released, but the devs need to listen to their player base making swift improvements in future updates or risk a fallout..LegendorkVersion: 1.1.0

A big money pit.All of a sudden all the previous poor reviews are gone, leaving you to think this is the best RPG game out there. This game is completely changed. Those who started playing over 6 months ago have lost all their progress, and builds, and works, only to be replaced with a system that wants your hard earned dollars to get back to where you were before the big updates. Progress is not a bad thing, but changing the entire system, without warning, and having you lose the builds your spent a lot of time and money to achieve, just is not fair. Then again, fair was not in consideration when the Developers changed the system at your loss. The play is mundane. The same theme rotates around again and again. Grinding to gain better equipment becomes monotenous and boring. Then all kinds of special offers occur, all of which cost money, for you to improve your stats. Strange how that coincides with your suddenly needing the very thing to improve, suddenly appears with its pricey cost. Spare yourself, keep your hard earned cash and look at current reviews, not the few posted by individuals that write glowing reviews for reasons that may not be in your best interest, but in theirs..HerrRickVersion: 3.1.5

Good but freezes constantlyThis game would be amazing if it weren’t for a few issues. The biggest is it freezes ALL. THE. TIME. Which is annoying on its own, but the turn timer will keep ticking down while it’s frozen so you can’t do what you planned for the turn. If they just fixed that alone, I’d probably give them 4 stars. There are also issues with it crashing, though it does seem to be less frequent with recent releases. They have frequent server issues too, but they seem to be aware of that. It’s weird that you stop leveling at level 50… I don’t understand that. Also, I’m fine with a pay to play model but the prices they set to get things to advance & improve your character aren’t reasonable for what you get. Way too high for what’s offered..FrauSchnarfVersion: 3.3

Overheating issuesGrabbed this game because I was looking for a puzzle game with a bit of plot that doesn’t collect ridiculous amounts of data. This game fits the bill and is fun - I could see myself getting deeply invested - but for one serious flaw. The game overheats my phone within minutes of opening it, even if I’m not playing a level. Battery goes from full to nothing insanely fast. The devs are apparently aware of the issue; the community forums have been talking about the problem since Jul ‘23 and it’s listed as a known issue on the support site. But there’s no indicator that it is being worked on (and it is now Feb ‘24). I’ll check back in with subsequent updates but this game is not fun enough to kill my phone over..Rj3333!Version: 2.5.1

Garbage !!!Please bring back ….puzzle quest to its former glory …..in depth rpg system …like part one or two even gems of war ….I own and played ever game made from you guys and I feel this is a step back from the originators of a puzzle rpg experience…it doesn’t need to be flashy or incredible animations all it needs is what part one had and took it to another level ….I would of paid premium for a awesome experience but instead get a f2p model of a game I loved so much and waited for so long for only to see it become another forgettable f2p copy of all mobile games now a days so disappointed you took this route to a game everyone tried to mimic but could never match …..so sad and you call this puzzle quest 3.Mega juniVersion: 1.1.0

You’re penalized for playingFirst I love gems of war and the first two puzzle quests but If you play more than the devs wants you to without forking over cash (from what I can tell 15 minutes a day based on keys and pet slots) then no loot for you. It feels real bad to fight see a new chest then have to break it down for a pittance of gold. Then layer on top every annoying free to play scheme and this game ends up being a waste of potential for a cash grab. Which is sad because there is fun to be had. Just to give you an idea a low level chest can take 5-6 hours to unlock and you only have space for 3 so if you don’t pay for keys you’re stuck waiting. The wait or pay mechanic is the scummy and it makes me sad to see the devs embrace it as a core theme..CodeslothVersion: 1.1.0

Disappointing Doesn’t Begin to Describe ItI guess the free to play model of gaming has just taken over the market because idiots will spend money on microtransactions instead of having to make the progress themselves. How a developer could create a nearly perfect match three game with depth and progression systems to die for and never replicate that greatness is beyond me. They even made the original worse the one time they went back to it! It’s truly astounding. If you are new the the Puzzlequest series, you may enjoy this game. If you’re a fan of 1 or even 2, this will disappoint you. Its not a very good game. Enemies don’t even use the board. Anyone saying this game requires strategy would be embarrassed playing the first game..Goldengoalie11Version: 1.1.0

Way too much focus on microtransactionsI kept giving this game a chance and ultimately decided the developers just failed. This game had so much potential but unless you end of paying significants amounts of money regularly, the game just isn't worth it. Almost all aspects of the daily gameplay and story progression involve opening chests, which are very limited each day. Unless you pay. And pay. And pay again. I would have even happily paid a one time fee to download the game or even smaller microtransactions. But the cost needed to play this game in any meaningful way is just way too expensive. Terrible balance. Bad choice by the developers. App deleted..Dr_FoodyVersion: 1.1.0

Season 3 update is awfulThe inventory system is so bad as to make it virtually unplayable. I’ve gamed on all platforms since 1977 and I’m pretty sure this is the worst inventory system I’ve ever attempted to use. It’s so bad that I can’t see how ANYONE could have made the choice implement it. Everything takes multiple inputs, and there’s zero way to even tell what you’re clicking on to start with. They went from an easily readable list to tiny icons that are visually indistinct and I useful in relaying necessary content. How did this ever get through QA? Insane decision that violates every basic of visual UX. AWFUL..FastyVersion: 1.3

Do you love grinding and terrible tech support?Because that’s what you’ll get. And as an added bonus the entire game is based on a wait-to-play mechanic. Or more specifically wait to receive the rewards you’ve earned. Unless of course you’re willing to pay for them. I’ve had so many problems with this game I’ve had to reinstall twice. And it’s bugged again so I’m about to lose my progress AGAIN. This time I decided to engage tech-support. It’s been four days now and they are so unhelpful and slow to respond that I’m thinking it’s probably time to just delete this app and forget about it..ThigmotaxicVersion: 1.2

Death of what was once a very excellent gameI played the originals and even have 1 and the space version on DS. This really is the death of the franchise. It’s nothing but trying to get whales now. So many games are going this way. Microtransactions are becoming the new E.T. The game. Update: I wish the infinite had produced a paid for version pf the game so i don’t have to bothered by constant asking for gems. Because much like diablo immortal it might take longer to finish can translate to you will not see the end of the game before you change phones a few times..RoboangelVersion: 1.1.11

Rapidly BoringIt’s Puzzle Quest in name only, honestly. The story is lackluster, the puzzle matching is fine but doesn’t instill any real sense of accomplishment, and the whole thing is driven by micro transactions and progress limiters that encourage you to spend money. I know that’s how games all seem to work these days, but beyond the flashy animations and occasional bits of meh dialogue, there just isn’t enough there to make the game fun. TL;DR: if you want to do busywork and mindless grinding, this is the game for you. If you want a fun puzzle RPG experience, play the original..MaelwysVersion: 1.1.11

Never Ending GrindThis game makes leveling a bad thing for you. Each increase in level gives you no rewards but will increase the power level for all stages so if you think keep grinding will get you through hard stages would be wrong. Not only that, you losing battle still net you xp so eventually you are significantly stuck. The rewards from chest or any stage is a joke. In short, the more you grind the more difficult it gets..Akira628Version: 1.1.2

Burning up the phoneThe first few weeks game ran fine, no issues. Not sure if there was an update, but on an iPhone12 it’s causing the phone to run very hot, and the game starts to slow down. I’ve done reboots, and ensured nothing else is running in the background. Developer, if you need device info, please reach out if I can support, as the game is enjoyable, however I can’t play more than a few levels before I need to let the phone cool down. No other apps or games cause this sort of overheating..DggamerVersion: 1.1.2

Not a bad game. Way overpriced.I loved PQ1 and liked PQ2. I guess I just don’t understand mobile games pricing. While you can technically play the game in short increments, to unlock the game and really “play it” in old school terms you have to shell out big bucks. This is the kind of game that used to cost $20 for the full game. The devs of this game are asking for $10 per month or $100 for a year of “VIP membership.” I’m sorry but that is waaaay too much for a game like this..The Original JumbodeeVersion: 1.1.11

Fails in every way as a sequelThis game is Gems of war 2.0, not puzzle quest 3. Every task I accomplish is met with a pop up for a $15 purchase offer.. you don’t have to take it but you really do. I’ve unlocked 6 tavern followers and can only level 2 of them past level 5. I’ve grinded 1 dungeon for days to get a single crystal to level the 3rd follower further but the drop rates are horrible. I really wanted to love this game but it’s nothing but a shameless cash grab.. cashing in on what was once an amazing IP.Nimox1Version: 1.1.2

Online only?Decent graphics and gameplay (love the multi gem matches before the timer runs out)but would it kill you to make a game that didn’t rely on an internet connection to play? Let me download all the assets before hand and let me play offline. I bought an iPad with enough storage so I don’t care if it is a couple gigs. Thanks for the 10 minutes of play before I deleted….DCHFoundationsVersion: 1.1.0

Paid for what?I paid about $6 to make this game a little more playable, but after twelve or so hours of not playing, the game still says that I have 3rd left before I can open the treasure boxes you get at the end of battles. Since you can only have three at a time, this basically makes it unplayable. It’s clearly 3hrs of in-game time - who has this app open for three hours?!?! I can’t see any way to get my money back. DON’T give these guys your money!.KnoxOnBoxVersion: 1.1.0

Free to playToujours la même chose, payer des fortunes en paquets de gem ou autre pour avancer, ou était le temps où on payait une seule fois notre jeux….. désolé mais je préfère avoir un vrai jeux plutôt qu’une pompe à fric..TerminastefVersion: 1.1.2

DeceptionOne of the worst Puzzle Quest ever! A mini grid with less challenge. A gauge with time that removes the instantaneous side and annoys! The visuals in general and magic cards are horrible! Less balanced and less fun. With this version Puzzle Quest is no longer the leader like version 1 & 2 the Infinite Interactive (the best). ******************************************* Un des pires Puzzle Quest jamais réalisé ! Une mini grille avec moins de challenge. Un jauge avec du temp que enlève le côté instantané et énerve! La facture visuel en général et des cartes de magie son horrible! Moins balancé et moins amusant. Avec cette version Puzzle Quest n’est plus le leader comme la version 1 & 2 de Infinite Interactive (les meilleurs)..Jonny 777Version: 1.1.11
