First things first: when starting a new game you'll need to choose a character. There are four classes to choose from with male and female types for each class. You can play as a Templar, Sorcerer, Barbarian, or Assassin. As you would expect, each class possesses different attributes. The Templar has high hit points (HP) but low attack power and the Assassin has relatively low HP but is proficient in agility and intelligence, for example. Infinite Interactive and D3 are hoping the classes provide contrasting experiences so that you'll want to play the game multiple times as different characters.They've also uploaded thirty-four screenshots, five videos, and you'll find the official box art on our own profile page.

While the puzzle battles are pretty familiar, moving about the game world is completely different. Gone is the world map with various towns and caves to visit. Puzzle Quest 2 takes place entirely in the town of Verloren and the dungeon below it. This is more of a dungeon-diving game and most of your quests and side quests will lead you into the depths underneath the village. Like the first game, you can take on multiple quests at once and keep track of them all in your journal. Eventually you'll reach warp points that will allow you to jump to previously explored areas of the dungeon. And there is always the opportunity to just run around killing monsters if you want to do some grinding. Unlike the original PQ, purple gems don't provide experience. They now provide mana and experience is awarded at the end of battle.
