Puzzle Guardians Reviews

[h1][b]YOU GOTTA TRY THIS![/b][/h1] This game is just [u]phenomenal[/u]! Originally an Android and iOS app, the game is now ported here on Steam. If you're a match-3 and/or an action puzzler [i](ex.: Bejeweled, Candy Crush, etc.)[/i], you're in for a really savvy treat! Puzzle Guardians is an RPG puzzler game that greatly emphasizes in combo-making, customization, and strategy. You travel through different worlds and battle against a set of enemies in each stage in an orderly fashion. When you get into the game battles, you'll be presented with a grid with symbols that you mix and match around with. You get your obvious attack, gold, mana and health symbols to match with, but there's another symbol that you may find peculiar, the guardian symbol. At the start of your journey you will start with a guardian that basically acts as a party member, and they will be helping you [b]ALOT.[/b] It is definitely not like puzzle quest, this game has it's own unique formula and it really does stand out in concept and gameplay. Try it out, it's really a gem! [spoiler]Too lazy to write a long review, but it really is a gem![/spoiler]

I enjoyed the game and now it does not play it just sits on the loading screen and to get out of the game I have to completley turn my computer off because there is no way to escape the game. So now I have a game that I have paid for that I can't even play so it was a waste of money.

I like the idea behind the game, but it does a piss-poor job of explaining anything to the player. The UI is awful and clearly a tablet/phone port. You can mouse over or click on any stats to get extra information. There are countless features, none of which are bothered to explain.

The best thing in this game is able to play offline. Mostly in this genre is on mobile and require internet connection. Thanks for bring it to PC and make it able to play offline.

For anyone curious to know what the PC changes are compared to the Android / IOS version... PC Version: - Removed the stamina system - Removed training time, now you can stat up instantly in training mode, as long as you have the gold. - Removed all in-app purchases - Shops had their gacha system removed from the game - Reworked diamond rewards from quests, completing entire area now grants 5 star guardians instead of gems. - Does not require an online connection, however, your "friends" tab while exploring will be randomly generated. - No more boss modes. (You can farm guardian shards from normal levels through the treasure system) For what it's worth, it's a fun RPG puzzle game. After going through a quick tutorial, you can customize your character's name and appearance. You can not make multiple characters, however. Gameplay is a match 3 game, fairly simple if you're familiar with puzzles and dragons. You are given a fair amount of time to create matches. And... Matching... - 3+ sword icons causes your character to attack - 3+ paw icons causes your current active guardian to attack (and fill a bit of it's special attack gauge) - 3+ star icons fills up your own character's special attack gauge - 3+ heart icons restore a portion of your HP - 3+ gold icons rewards you with a bit more gold at stage completion. Sounds simple enough, though to gain chests in battle, there are certain matching conditions you have to fulfill, and some of those corner matches can be a giant pain. If your mouse cursor ever leaves the grid, it will consider it as releasing your hold and end the turn. This can be troublesome later on when the matching conditions get tremendously tough. All in all, a fun puzzle game, is it worth it's current price though? Your mileage may vary.
