Is it time to blast off in the future again? Well, only if it involves some puzzle RPG action. Oh, fine, fine, prepare for take off. Don't get fooled however -- playing the first game won't give players a giant advantage, it'll just nudge them in the right direction, so newcomers to the budding series should take note of this excellent genre-mixing title as well.
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.
