[[Puzzle Quest]] is a series of games from Infinite Interactive. At their base, they are [[Match Three Game|Match Three Games]] with [[RPG Elements]]. In each game, battles are fought by matching up various gems and other symbols on a grid. Depending on what the player matches up, the gems will turn into one of various types of mana or energy to use for spells/attacks, damage to the enemy, or bonus experience or money. The player can expand their power through the use of various mini-games, which represent [[Item Crafting]], learning new spells, or leveling up.

* '''Puzzle Quest 2''': a true sequel to the original; styled more on [[MMORPG|MMORPGs]], including a town hub and NPCs with exclamation points over their heads who give you quests, was released on June 22, 2010 for DS, Windows, [[IOS Games|iPhone]], and the [[Xbox]] Live Arcade. This is a considerably simplified and easier version, though possibly with more balanced pvp.

 

* [[Boring but Practical]]: Several starter spells and weapons which players will use throughout the game

* [[Cap]]: Level 50 in ''PQ'' and ''Galactrix'', 20 in ''Kingdoms'' - though you have up to 12 Heroes to level up there.

** [[Full-Contact Magic|Full contact]] [[Bejeweled]].

 

* [[Abnormal Ammo]]: The Gobshooter. It hurls ''Goblins''.

* [[All Powerful Bystander]]: The elder dragon Kelthurax, who would rather sleep than find out who kidnapped ALL of his dragon brethren (save Flicker).

 

 

* [[Beehive Barrier]]: the shields in ''Galactrix'', at least as represented on the menus.

* [[Con Man]]: Pezt

 

 

* [[Barbarian Hero]]: The protagonist is a paper-thin Conan imitation. In fact the whole game is basically one long homage to Conan. Including the snake cult!

* [[The Beast Master]]: The protagonist's spells in this game come from your warbeast (a nasty-looking dog).

 

 

* [[Artifact of Doom]]: The various Vice Boxes.

* [[A Commander Is You]]: The battles are your army against the opponent's army, rather than one-on-one battles in Puzzle Quest.

 

 

* [[Artificial Stupidity]]: The AI will do whatever the help arrow shows, even if it doesn't help them. It will also collect mana it CAN'T USE. And if your hp is low enough to be finished off by a weapon attack, sometimes it will use a spell.

* [[Barrier Warrior]]: The Assassin class is a mix of this and [[Glass Cannon]]. His/her primary ability is to use purple mana to go into "stealth" mode, which is really just using your purple mana as a shield against damage. While in stealth, all of your "-Strike" abilities do double damage. (Strike abilities turn gems into purple gems on the screen as well as damage the opponent, so there's a lot of synergy between covering yourself and hurting the opponent).
