And while Clash of Heroes' puzzle mechanics aren't always elegant, the meaty Story mode and RPG-like progression make it a great all-around package for those with any interest in both puzzle games and RPGs. So you get a very substantial Story mode, plus single-player quick battles and multi- or single-cart multiplayer. But it's actually a unique hybrid game that offers an RPG-like Story mode complete with character progression, quests, and items-plus some light strategy elements-all wrapped around match-three-style puzzle gameplay similar to that of Puzzle Quest. Judging from the colorful anime characters and soothing soundtrack, you might mistake Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes for a Japanese-style console role-playing game.
