    I so want this game. Puzzle Quest and Dungeon Raid are among my favorites as far as mobile RPGs go. I love the way match 3 works so well as a combat mechanic for RPG games.

    Hi!

    and happy you like what you can see here :)
    Besides the awesome 2D art we put a lot of effort in the AI - I'm pretty sure you will love the challenging way the enemy plays (not only because of much higher strength/defense).

    Btw If I will have some time tomorrow I will make a little "in game" video so you can better judge about the actually gameplay.

    This is shaping up to be a must-have.

    Dungeon Raid style matching and simplicity, but with Puzzle Quest style 1vs1 battles... so awesome.

    So how long before this comes out? Better yet, do you need any beta testers?

    My question is, will it go live once Apple approves it, or will they wait to release it on Thursday?


    ...also, sorry to everyone waiting for actual news on this game, every time I see this thread with a new post I get excited for news from the developer. Now I'm the one bumping it up.

    Hi
    the game will not be out this week! :-(
    We need to re-submit it on Monday (nope not Apple's idea) - we found a little bug - not a big issue but well we will have a app that is as perfect as we can make it so I hope you understand :)

    We will let you know if we know the release date!

    This is a topic we need to discuss now. It is highly possible that this will become universal :) but... we will see.

    A puzzle game with RPG elements does not make an RPG. There is a fundamental difference between a match three game with rpg elements and any kind of RPG, just as borderlands isn't an RPG, but a shooter with RPG elements. That said, this does look promising, even though it misuses the term "RPG" when it is really just a puzzle game with RPG elements. For a game to be an RPG, it has to emphasize story, have gameplay where stats have a more than passing effect on battle (PoTN didn't, but I own and play that due to it's resemblance to puyo pop), gameplay that involves a competition between NPC and player, a story, and either talking to NPCs or a reason for not being able to.

    Oh, and I don't like this kind of game personally, but that doesn't mean it's a bad game.

    I can chalk up my dislike of these games to bitterness at games being marginalized and made much easier, basically turning into interactive picture books- then base genres being watered down until they are just adjectives added to casual game types.

    Sorry if this post is off topic, I'll remove it if necessary.

    Wow. This guy sounds like one of those aspergers kids you know in school. They just have no idea what it socially acceptable.

    And I think a role playing game might just be considered a game in which one plays a particular role! Hence the acronom RPG. Role Playing Game. So then I think this game fits that...if you play a role that is. Please do not mix this up with Advanced D&D 4th edition...which is also an RPG.

    I am actually excited as I love the matching games...ala Puzzle Quest and Dungeon Raid...and if playing time gives you extra stats and enhances gameplay....YEAH! Nothing like adding spells to a game to make the people happy!

    I think all he was discussing is that this isn't a game in the sense that you take the role of one character while the plot in the game deeply involves character development of yourself and other characters. This game would have RPG elements, but it isn't a full-fledged RPG. Either way, RPG elements are a great way to expand the reach of the game as well as expand the content of the game.

    I'd say the comments on game difficulty isn't quite relevant.

    Either way, I'm looking forward to this game. I was a giant fan of Dungeon Raid and this looks like a Puzzle Quest and Dungeon Raid mash-up. Definitely intriguing.
