When the galaxy teeters on the brink of ruin, missiles, lasers, and bombs can't do a thing to save it--only the click of a mouse can. Yes, all that stands between the destruction of mankind and its salvation are a few puzzles. Puzzle Quest: Galactrix extends the surprise runaway hit series to the star-riddled expanse of space, role-playing puzzle-solving in tow. Shown for the first time running on PC during Game Developers Conference, it's shaping up to be a worthy successor to the Puzzle Quest name.
Hardcore Gamer: The Puzzle Quest games have been big hits in the digital era and have breathed new life into puzzle games by applying some RPG gameplay mechanics to the genre. Now, instead of spending $10 for the Galactrix and Challenge of the Warlords entries, you can get them both for only $1 each.
In this second of four parts, we discuss how games based purely on luck are little more than immoral cash cows for the people who produce them - and represent some of the worst design choices out there.
In this episode the guys talk about Quantum Conundrum, DayZ, Rainbow Moon, Heroes of Ruin, SCHAR: Blue Shield Alliance, Sushi Castle, About To Blow Up Part 1, Wushi, Grand Slam Tennis 2, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD, Puzzle Quest: Galactrix, some news and plenty more.
