![]() Some elements, such as the social component which allows you to bring in another leader from a player’s monster party to compliment your own, is recreated through Street Pass, but IAPs are out. Puzzle & Dragons Z is, however, missing a great many features, some of which are key to the mobile version’s success. Furthermore, another gem type added to the mix heals you, so performing a move that both damages your foes and heals you simultaneously is a prize tactic. Gems can be moved freely across the six-by-five grid, however they juggle the other gems around as you move them, allowing you to create the kind of combos you’ll need to deal devastating damage. Your party of monsters must have a leader, and depending on which monster you choose determines different abilities and passive traits you can activate in battle. It’s a clever and compelling melding of classic match-three and turn-based combat that’s highly satisfying to play and more complex than it may seems. Finally, combinations of gems matched in a single turn can allow multiple monsters to attack from your party. Additionally, if the element opposes your foe’s you’ll do extra damage to them. The more gems matched, the deadlier the attack and the more foes you can target. You create a party of up to five monsters, each with their own elemental alignments, and by creating rows or columns of three or more of an element’s gems creatures aligned to them can attack. This generally involves fighting battles, which are fought through a match-three gems system focused around three elements: fire, water, and earth. On your quest to save the world from begin torn a sunder by the oddly named villain Dogma The Charismatic Destroyer, you must venture forth with your party of friends and monsters, and secure puzzle-shaped landmasses called World Pieces. This is a very different approach to its mobile origins, where a narrative wasn’t present at all. It’s certainly not the most original story, and dialogue and events very quickly enter the realms of clichéd, as well as some dangerously close Pokemon similarities, but it drives the experience well enough forwards to give context to your actions. Puzzle & Dragons Z sees you take on the role of a brand new dragon tamer being thrust into a world saving scenario. However, the free-to-play match-three, dungeon crawling, RPG hits European shores in a significantly different form: a retail 3DS game with a static version of the mobile original - Puzzle & Dragons Z - and a bundled Mario-themed variant. And now, Puzzle & Dragons finally sees a version released in Europe. It's a phenomenon in Japan, and a veritable force to be reckoned with in the US.
