It Actually Works!
Ever since I bought the app ages ago, I always ran into the game crashing every time I reached the Contested Zone, and was never able to progress. This update has fixed whatever caused that bug, as the app now works! Ive happily been able to beat the game.
Its not as good as Puzzle Quest 1 in term of plot, but the art and puzzle mechanics have been improved a lot in lieu of it. And the cast of characters isnt bad (some are very amusing) and theres even a few interesting twists along the way to keep you interested.
However, some of the other old bugs are still present, hence the 4 stars. A few gem changing spells can rarely lag the game, and I have had it freeze a couple times during a battle, where I have to quit the battle and resume.
But otherwise, this is the best match 3 puzzle RPG available on iOS (unless they bring back the original, ofc). Its a bit hard to control on my iPhone 5, and overall the PC version runs smoother and better, but it is still a very enjoyable experience.
