IPHONE’S SECOND PUZZLEQUEST CHAPTER COMING AS FREE UPDATE
Most all of the charges leveled against the iPhone version of Infinite Interactive’s sadistically addictive puzzle/RPG PuzzleQuest — primarily its anti-aliased-to-illegible text and sluggish reaction time — have been fixed in subsequent patches, but the one aspect still held against it is its price.
Offered originally as a three chapter download, with the first set at $9.99 and the later two to be determined, the game was theoretically set to be one of the most expensive titles on the platform, all things being equal.
But it seems publisher Transgaming has relented to the App Store’s still wildly unsettled economy and announced, reports PocketGamer, that the game’s second chapter will be available as a free addition to owners of the game’s first chapter. The new chapter has just been submitted to Apple for approval and should be set live in the near future.
Presumably, the first and second chapter together will be the equivalent of the game’s original console and handheld release — and will match the current price of Steam’s PC version — with the third chapter equating to the Revenge of the Plague Lord expansion released last July for the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network versions.
No matter how the game’s pricing eventually shakes down, PuzzleQuest is still one of my iPhone’s most played, and is an essential download particularly for those that haven’t experienced it 1-4 times before on its various other platforms.
