About

Puzzle Kingdoms is a puzzle video game developed by Infinite Interactive for PC, Nintendo DS, and Wii. The PC version is available to download online through services such as IGN's Direct2Drive and Steam.

Like Infinite Interactive's previous game Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords, Puzzle Kingdom relies on a core combat mechanic similar to Bejeweled, though this offering incorporates turn-based strategy elements as well. Puzzle Kingdom also shares the same game universe as Puzzle Quest, the fantasy world of Etheria from the Warlords game series.
