Puzzle Quest creators talk about upcoming Galactrix
Filed under: Metareview
Who would’ve thought blending RPG elements into a puzzle game would become so successful? Puzzle Quest’s incredible fan following has earned its spiritual successor, Galactrix, a great deal of attention. In an interview with IGN, Lead Designer Steve Fawkner reveals that the team is trying their best to make this game feel unique: “the last thing we want to hear from gamers is “oh that’s just a Puzzle Quest clone” (which we admit to doing).
When questioned on its gameplay mechanics, Fawkner stated the game was not based on Bejeweled, but another popular puzzle game: “I would say that it would better be described as Collapse in space.” A crucial difference between the two titles is that Galactrix features real-time puzzle battling.
As revealed in the interview, there are plans to introduce downloadable content and 6 player multiplayer. It will be interesting to see how this game develops over time.

Metareview: Puzzle Quest
Filed under: Metareview
If you weren’t able to quite tell from the demo whether you liked Puzzle Quest or not, maybe the reviews of others will help you. Other than these reviews, we’ll have a review of Puzzle Quest up soon. But enough of that for now, what did the critics say?
- Gamespot (8.5/10) “The parts may seem commonplace, but Puzzle Quest’s blend of RPG and puzzle-game convention makes for something refreshingly unique and dangerously addictive.”
- Games Radar (7.0/10) “The PSP version loads a bit more slowly but looks better, and the DS version features lighting-fast loads but tosses in slightly sluggish, clunky touch-controls.”
- PlayStation Official Magazine UK (5.0/10) “It’s gently hypnotic stuff, but fight a dozen super-intelligent skeletons and you’ll soon be yearning for the simple pleasures of Lumines.” (Mar 2007)
