Line 3:
* [[Cliché Storm]]: ''Puzzle Quest 2''. Like its father before it. Instead of trying to be an airplane fantasy novel though, this one wants to be an MMORPG…
** ''Puzzle Chronicles'' is a straight-up ''Conan'' imitator and not at all ashamed of it.
* [[Demonic Spider]]: The Berzerker and its Enrage/Berserk Rage combo. Neither spell has a recharge time, and Berserk Rage can be spammed as long as red mana levels are high enough. And unlike its PQ1 equivalent, Berserk Rage works on any color gem, not just red. A Berserker with a fortunate board setup can literally wipe you out before you have a chance to retaliate.
* [[Designated Villain]]: In ''Galactrix'', the Pirates, in the beginning. They're only accused of mining where they're not supposed to ("[[Narm|Cease this illegal mining of minerals or we shall be forced to fire upon you!]]"), and yet the player can go ''absolutely everywhere'' and mine ''absolutely everywhere''. No laws saying the contrary are made.
* [[Fail O'Suckyname]]: "Gorgon" isn't exactly a fitting name for a [[Final Boss]]. Sure, it qualifies as a [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Name To Run Away From Really Fast]], but it's also a minor example, more befitting a midboss. And it doesn't even have [[Taken for Granite|Petrifying Gaze]] in either of its forms! Seriously, why couldn't it have been named something like "[[Lord of the Flies
* [[First Installment Wins]]: ''Galactrix'', ''Puzzle Quest 2,'' and ''Kingdoms'' aren't even in the same league as ''Challenge Of The Warlords''.
* [[Follow the Leader]]: ''Gyromancer'' on X-Box Live was clearly intended to capitalize on ''Puzzle Quest's'' success. It's basically ''Bejeweled Twist'' Puzzle Quest.
Line 33 ⟶ 28:
* [[Good Bad Bugs]]: In ''Puzzle Kingdoms'', the game will occasionally automatically add spells, artifacts, or relics to your Hero, as long as there's an empty slot for it, allowing you to go over the points cap for that kingdom. This only lasts until the next kingdom, however.
* [[It's Easy, So It Sucks]]: ''Puzzle Quest 2''. Even on hard, this game is A LOT easier than PQ or Galactrix<ref>Unless you're playing as a Templar, which still isn't that hard, outside of the [[Bonus Boss|Bonus Bosses]]</ref>, and the AI is a lot worse.
* [[The Jimmy Hart Version]]: Is the victory fanfare a riff from the old [[Battlestar Galactica]] theme? Not quite.
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: The screams of attacked and killed enemies in ''Puzzle Kingdoms''.
* [[Periphery Demographic]]: A really weird attempt is done for ''Puzzle Quest 2''. This game is meant to appeal to hardcore PVP players and people who found the first game too demanding at the same time.
