About This Game Puzzle Strike is a deckbuilding puzzle game played amongst Fantasy Strike characters. It's inspired by puzzle games such as Puzzle Fighter. Gems fall into each player's gem pile every turn, and whoever's gem pile fills up first loses. Improve your deck (of chips!) by purchasing new chips as the game unfolds. Will you go heavy on economy, offense, or build an intricate engine? In any case, make sure to adapt to your opponents because Puzzle Strike has a lot more interactivity than most other deckbuilders. And like the other games in the Fantasy Strike universe, Puzzle Strike is designed to hold up to thousands of games at the expert level, and we fully embrace the philosophy of even-playfield competition.The new Steam version of Puzzle Strike (as well as the upcoming iOS release) have these new features:Runs natively on Mac, PC, and Linux (new!)Cross-platform play with players on iOS (coming soon), Steam or the web version on FantasyStrike.comChips have 4x the resolution as the web versionIssue challenges to people on your Steam friend listClimb the leaderboards in Quick Match and check out replays of top players to improve your game!New Puzzle Challenge mode: learn advanced character tactics and think outside the bag!

The mechanics are solid as the game is known for it's deck building elements, but can that do enough despite an interface that's lacking in several areas? Will the chips fall into place in terms of the multiplayer and the challenge that it gives? Will you go all in on aggro, or will stay back and build up your resources? Will I ask more silly questions in the description of the video? Come find out! Summary: It's nice that there's a virtual version of the famous tabletop game, and the strategy element here has a core RPS element to it, but it's much more complicated then that. Granted, I wish the interface was a lot better: it's servicable, but it shows its browser based routes and some elements of it are particularly ugly. However, I found it to work a lot better then it's browser based counterpart, as online matches were easy to find with no connectivity issues that I could see. If you can stand that, there's a fun core game experience here that will keep your attention in the multiplayer seen, as the different characters do play reasonably different despite only having differences in the character chips. Good deck building mechanics that punish being too aggressive and not thinking about your next move, while giving you reasons to not just horde buying chips. It's fun, I just wish it was better in the end, but you can find out via the browser based version if the game is right for you (if it works). Gameplay Footage and Video Review: https:\/\/youtu.be\/w_E828NWyxc Lists: +: Great strategy elements that work on a couple of levels. Good back and forth strategy that has you trying to get two steps ahead of your opponent. Characters being the only unique chip aspect makes it feel like you've got a reasonable chance against anyone, despite maybe having a strong weakness against them. Deck building element does a good job of punishing negative moves but also making sure that you don't go to heavy on one strategy that can't be countered. Good Balance. Network elements work, matchmaking was quick and there's cross-platform which helps things out. No major lag or latency issues as well. Like the Challenge mode that helps bring a little bit of thought and understanding of mechanics, even if it can be a little confusing at times on what it truly wants you to do. -: The interface and application implementation is ugly. Elements feel tacked on in terms of the interface, and some of the text and color choices are down right bleh. Could have had some animations, some things to help the presentation elements of the game, as again, it's implementation is pretty ugly. Doesn't save information. Even after playing a match, simple choices like who's going first reset to their default, or the chips you've chosen reset on exiting the game. Annoying. Tutorial could be implemented better. Do wish there was some options in terms of gameplay regarding the choosing of chips in the bank, because it would have helped some interesting issues of siding the bank to the host players advantage.. Puzzle Strike is the best deckbuilding game I've ever played, and the port is adequate (not to mention way cheaper than a physical copy).The online community seems to be dead, but it's well worth getting just to play with friends.. Puzzle Strike is a video game adaptation of a board game that's an adaptation of a video game called Super Puzzle Fighter. Yes, that weird Street Fighter spin-off game that plays like Tetris, but isn't quite Tetris. So how does it work? This game is actually a deck-builder similar to games like Dominion. Unlike most deck-builder, this one has a lot more interaction between players and the ultimate goal is to defeat your opponent by crashing Gems into your opponent's gem pile (similiar to filling up your screen in Tetris or Super Puzzle Fighter). The game is also a bit assymetric compared to other deck-builder games in which each player selects a character. Each character has 3 special ability "chips" (cards) that makes them different from other characters changing up how a person plays the game and the strategy they employ. There is more to the game but this, like Yomi, is easy to learn but challenging to master. The PC adaptation is solid, and I think it plays better than the physical boardgame counter-part due to everything being automated.For more information, check out Watch It Played's Puzzle Strike Guide: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Og01q5_zbD8.

Pretty fun game. A bit complicated to start it.. As a fan of the tabletop game, I'm really happy with how this turned out. It translates well as a video board game as there's no setup, no need for randomizer apps, etc. Moreover, it lets me play when the mood strikes me rather than trying to get people over to play.The Shadows expansion looks like fun - I'll buy the DLC later on, and will easily be buying the physical version later as well. Well done, very enjoyable, and I've already bought five more copies to gift to friends :). This is basically another form of Dominion. You'll love it! :). Looks like each player starts with the same 7 chips (cards), plus three character-specific special move chips. At the beginning of your turn an ante gem is added to your pool. At the end of your turn you buy a chip from a custom or random bank that is shared by all players. Use the chips you buy to keep your gem pool the lowest and then KO someone else at 10+. I'm having fun with the 4-player AI battles. Thanks for the Linux version!. Very nice PC version of a fantastic boardgame. The interface is easy to use, and as a plus, the game comes with puzzles to test your Puzzle Strike skills.
