Puzzle Quest: Immortal Edition

Puzzle Quest: Immortal Edition doesn’t do much to distinguish itself from the previous version it replaces in the eShop. If you have that, you’re fine. If you don’t, this is a surprisingly deep, highly addictive match-three RPG that’s well worth the price.

The story in the remastered version of Puzzle Quest retains the classic fantasy RPG elements, offering a light narrative that is generally considered unremarkable but nostalgic for long-time fans. While the game features quests and player choices that can influence outcomes, the primary focus remains on the match-3 gameplay rather than a coherent storyline. Overall, players appreciate the nostalgic elements and the blend of RPG mechanics, even if the story itself is seen as generic and not the main draw of the game.
- “Its story has a few surprises, but the focus is very clearly on the moment-to-moment match game, and the creative way in which each class can influence the board with its own bespoke abilities and spells.”
- “I recommended the original game to anybody who likes match-3 games, notably because of the RPG elements and because it has a neat story; nothing we have not seen a thousand times before, but it does not pretend to be anything else.”
- “In my opinion, a must for players who loved the original and want to experience it again in its newest, shiniest, and most complete form, and for players that never played Puzzle Quest 1 but like the fusion of fantasy RPG and match-3 puzzles.”
- “The cruelest part of Puzzle Quest is that it tricks you into thinking your choices matter.”
- “Everything looks like a cheap mobile game, the quest finished voice sounds like it's AI generated.”
- “I was hoping for something like Puzzle Quest 2 but instead got something closer to dog $hit; just give us Puzzle Quest 2 back.”

The gameplay combines addictive match-3 mechanics with RPG elements, creating a compelling and strategic experience that appeals to fans of both genres. While the core loop remains enjoyable and polished, some players note that balance changes and certain design decisions have led to a more tedious experience, with longer battles and less impactful class abilities. Overall, the game is praised for its depth and progression, though some feel it could benefit from deeper mechanics and a more cohesive user interface.
- “The game, at its most basic level, combines the addictive match-3 gameplay of something like Bejeweled with the spellcasting, questing structure, and basic fantasy storyline of a classic RPG.”
- “The campaign provides a steady sense of progression, and the blend of puzzle elements with light RPG mechanics continues to work well.”
- “The gameplay loop is addictive to this day, and I always find myself wanting to play one more round.”
- “They've made some balance changes to class abilities and other parts of gameplay that are hard to adjust to from the original, though.”
- “The gameplay loop is tedious, classes are irrelevant, battles are very long for no reason and rely heavily on RNG.”
- “It’s actually a tragedy that other games in the puzzle series simplified gameplay, not deepened it.”

The graphics of the game have received significant upgrades, featuring clean, colorful, and modern visuals that enhance the classic art style without losing its charm. While many players appreciate the refreshed aesthetics and improved clarity, some nostalgic fans prefer the original artwork. Overall, the remastered graphics contribute positively to the gameplay experience, despite some minor criticisms regarding the use of generic assets.
- “The updated graphics are a huge improvement — clean, colourful, and modern without losing the charm of the original art style.”
- “Great remake of the original with updated graphics and expansion content included that was not previously available on PC.”
- “I'm glad I did; it's the original game (and all add-ons), but with better graphics, more responsive controls, improved sound, and practically non-existent load times.”
- “Generic graphics ripped straight from a developer's kit can't ruin the solid playability of this game.”
- “Nothing fresh about it except some upscaled graphics.”
- “It's not a problem per se, but when the goal is to overhaul the visuals and bring the game out with a fresh coat of paint, I kind of assume the dev team are gonna be the ones overhauling it, not buying resource packs online and copying them in.”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it muted and generic compared to previous versions, while others appreciate the updated tracks and variations. Despite some positive remarks about the remixed music and new sound elements, many users feel that the overall quality detracts from the gaming experience, suggesting that a more skilled composer could significantly enhance the soundtrack.
- “Graphics have been slightly polished - most notably the gems are now more 'easy' to tell apart -, and the music got more variation.”
- “I've no complaints about the updated music or sprites, I actually like the changes.”
- “I also like the remixed music and the new paint job.”
- “There are drawbacks to the presentation, especially when compared to past versions of the game: the music feels a lot more muted than it did beforehand, and I’m not a big fan of the new victory screens, where a big image of the enemy you’re fighting fills the screen once you’ve beaten them - it works fine when it’s a basic enemy like an orc or a knight, but when it’s a big giant bug or spider suddenly taking up the whole screen?”
- “The music and sounds are just 'fantasy noise' and don't really make sense.”
- “But the music is sooooo generic!”

Many express dissatisfaction with the reliance on RNG, which can make battles feel unnecessarily prolonged and unbalanced, particularly when the rewards for grinding are perceived as underwhelming or ineffective. Overall, the grinding experience is seen as a significant drawback that detracts from the enjoyment of the game.
- “It's just way, way too grindy.”
- “After I spent the time grinding to get the spells, then realizing you guys destroyed all the good spells in the game, I stopped playing right after.”
