Kotaku reports that TransGaming’s Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords will be arriving for the iPhone next month for $9.99. The iPhone version of the game is said to include new story lines, characters, conquests, and, of course, take advantage of the iPhone’s touch screen.
Puzzle Quest was first released for the Nintendo and PSP in 2007 and was very well received. The game combines role-playing with strategy and puzzle elements.
During play, the player takes on quests as part of the main storyline, as well as accepting side quests in order to gain items, experience and gold. Gold can be used to buy equipment that offers bonuses in combat, or it can be used to build up a citadel that unlocks additional content and customization for the character.
Quests are typically completed by defeating opponents in one-on-one match-3 puzzle battles.
