When a good game takes two game genres and merge them together it either succeds or fails. In the case of the original Puzzle Quest (PSP and 3DS) it is succeess without a doubt.
Combining a RPG fantasy world with a character (male or female) that levels up as you go along, the ability to acquire new gear, mounts if I remember right, allies and even your own little castle with a whole bunch of rooms to maintain (with their own match 3 games with their own goals).
The match 3 gameplay is easy to catch onto, but is presented with several variants which each has it's own goal. Fighting opponents and enemies, creating gear, learning the enemy's magic, etc. That takes a simple addictive game idea, and expands it several times over to make it ultra addictive. So much so I logged in about 50-70 hours (around that much) before my PSP UMD copy finally died. Hopefully my next copy (3DS dlc) lasts way longer. A 5 out of 5.
