Infinite Interactive’s match-three RPG hybrid Puzzle Quest 2 is headed to Xbox Live Arcade. This sequel brings the popular puzzle-RPG formula to Xbox players with enhanced features and refined gameplay mechanics.
The Xbox Live version includes all the core elements that made the original game successful while adding new features designed to deepen the experience. Players can expect improved graphics and effects that take advantage of the Xbox hardware, along with smoother animations and enhanced visual feedback during puzzle battles. The game maintains its signature blend of match-three puzzle gameplay with RPG elements like character progression, equipment, and story-driven quests.
Combat has been refined with new weapon-based attacks and defensive abilities that add tactical depth to the puzzle-matching mechanics. The inventory and equipment systems have been expanded, giving players more options for customizing their character’s abilities and combat style. The game features both a substantial single-player campaign and multiplayer options through Xbox Live.
The interface has been optimized for controller input, making gem-matching and menu navigation feel natural on the Xbox controller. Achievement integration adds extra goals for completionists, while leaderboards allow players to compete for high scores in various categories. The game will be available for download through the Xbox Live Marketplace.
