"adding new classes and missions, and offering a new generation a chance to figure out why people got so excited about it two decades ago. Since its original release, developer Infinity Plus 2 has created multiple spin-offs and sequels, mobile juggernaut Gems of War, and the somewhat less well-loved freemium Puzzle Quest 3, but it's important to know that 's origins go back much farther, all the way to the late 1980s, and a floppy disc that was thrown into a publisher's trashcan."
"This was before your entire PC gaming catalog was on Steam-heck, this was before BioShock was on Steam even, the first AAA game to pioneer such a digital release-and the existence of a digital download-only game was novel. It was a space well-occupied by the likes of PopCap, with smash hits such as Bejeweled, Bookworm, and Peggle, but it had yet to become The Next Big Thing."
Puzzle Quest received a full remaster that updates the 18-year-old match-3 RPG for modern platforms, bundles all DLC, adds new classes and missions, and reintroduces the game to a new generation. Infinity Plus 2 produced multiple spin-offs and sequels, including Gems of War and the freemium Puzzle Quest 3. The game's Warlords tag links directly to Steve Fawkner's earlier turn-based strategy RPG Warlords (1990). Fawkner began making games in the 1980s, releasing Quest for the Holy Grail on the Spectrum 48K, and experienced early setbacks such as a floppy disc being discarded by a publisher. The original 2007 release blended Bejeweled-style match-3 mechanics with RPG systems at a time when digital-only releases were still novel.
