Puzzle Strike

Puzzle Strike is a deckbuilding puzzle game featuring characters from Fantasy Strike. Gems fall into each player's gem pile every turn, and the first player whose pile fills up loses. You buy chips to improve your deck as the game unfolds, choosing whether to focus on economy, offense or an intricate engine. You also need to adapt to your opponents, since the game has more interaction than most deckbuilders and is designed for even-playfield competition at expert level.

Game modes

Quick Match includes leaderboards and replays of top players. Puzzle Challenge presents advanced character tactics and challenges to complete. Daily Quests earn you Jewels, which you can spend to play Puzzle Smash, a high-powered version of Puzzle Strike. You can also practise offline against AI Puzzlebots or issue challenges to people on your Steam friends list.

Chips and characters

The game contains all 48 Puzzle chips from Puzzle Strike Third Edition and Puzzle Strike: Shadows, as well as the promo chips Combinatorics, Dashing Strike and Custom Combo. The base game includes ten characters: Grave, Jaina, Midori, Setsuki, Rook, DeGrey, Valerie, Geiger, Lum and Argagarg. The ten Shadows characters are available as an expansion.

Online play

You can play across platforms with players on iOS. The chips have four times the resolution of those in the web version.
