Puzzle Quest dev doing new game News

PC DS Wii
News by Robert Purchese

10 June, 2009

Puzzle Quest developer Infinite Interactive is working on a new game called Puzzle Kingdoms for DS, PC and Wii.

Kingdoms, as the name suggests, revolves around conquering territories and expanding an empire, a bit like a Total War game. You'll amass armies and pit them against opposing forces in typical Puzzle Quest Bejeweled-style battles. Kingdoms will be subtly different, but the basic ideas are the same: outthink the enemy to deal damage, or build up mana to unleash special attacks.

Heroes can be picked from a variety of races, including trolls and dwarves, and more powerful troops and spells can be unlocked as the game unfolds.

Publisher Zushi will release Puzzle Kingdoms sometime this year, and you can sneak a peek at the Wii and DS versions of in our appropriate galleries.

Alternatively, pop into any of our Puzzle Quest gamepages to see what all the fuss is about.

I was about to yell the same thing! It's not a new game and it's not even that good of a game.

@Jonsaan

Galactrix is actually not very good. If you are thinking it's another fun puzzle quest game I'm afraid you'll most likely be disappointed. Somewhere along the line the formula got broken.

Puzzle Quest creators are working on a new game, indeed, but that's not called Puzzle Kingdoms. Puzzle Kingdoms is out on Wii, DS and PC (on PC through Steam, as another poster mentioned already).
The new game from Infinite Interactive is codenamed Deathbringer and there are no details given by the devs yet.

I loved Puzzle Quest, so I bought Galactrix without even reading about it first.. It sucks.

I would love a Puzzle Quest 2 though.

"Kingdoms, as the name suggests, revolves around conquering territories and expanding an empire"

/engage peacenic mode

Its kind of a sad reflection of our attitudes when the word Kingdom is taken to suggest war and conflict and expanding an empire, when it fact the meaning of the word Kingdom suggests absolutely nothing of the sort.

/disangage peacenic mode

Yay, Puzzle Quest is great. Stoopid ogres.

I have it on PC. I loves it! Horses for courses I guess.

I can't believe all the Galactrix hate. I really, really like it! Maybe I haven't played enough to get upset about it yet!?
