    With some great games in the series' past, Puzzle & Dragons Gold is disappointingly stripped down yet it still offers an exciting combat dynamic, especially for those who prefer to flex their skills online.

    As someone with a casual interest in the Puzzle and Dragons series, I’ll probably re-roll the 3DS version of Z if I want to get a fix of it. It’s neat that they brought the core game to the Switch, but I doubt anyone who’s put an extensive amount of time (or, Naga forbid, money) into the mobile version won’t have an incentive to make the jump. This is likely why my online requests keep timing out: there’s not really a market here. And that’s sad.

    Maybe if the game had collaboration monsters or some sort of monster leveling system I could care just a little more.

    if you are looking for a single player experience, this game isnt for you. go play PAD X instead of this or Z if you want a PAD rpg likeif you are looking for a single player experience, this game isnt for you. go play PAD X instead of this or Z if you want a PAD rpg like Pokemon.

    the story mode is extremely short (i completed the 3 paths in just about an hour) but is crucial to unlock leaders.    … Full Review »

After playing Z on 3DS I was excited to see a new game for switch Z had a grate story and had monster collecting training and evolution. This game has none of this. For the story you get a SET party that can not be changed they have a gatcha like the mobile game to get new dragons that you really can't use except for practice because none is playing this online. The dragons you do get are already at max no training but you can awaken them by battling with them but remember how no on is playing online. Now let's talk story... there is none.. not really anyways. You have 2 technically 3 story's, in each story except the last one you fight all of 4 times and then it's over. It's like they didn't even try for this one. If I could get a refund I would because I regret ever buying this and I won't be buying anymore from gungho unless they address the problems with this game and promise not to repeat it.… Full Review »

    Really poor story mode, the battle system is horrible, you can't evolve your monsters, you can't boost your skills levels, you can't doReally poor story mode, the battle system is horrible, you can't evolve your monsters, you can't boost your skills levels, you can't do anything like the mobile/3ds games it's essentially a pvp puzzle game with extremely limited content. One and only one quality : 3d models are perfect.

    PXD on mobile and 3DS are so much better; and yes it's playable in handeld mode only, but that's logic    … Full Review »
