Square Enix and PopCap have teamed up to bring you Gyromancer, a puzzle/RPG hybrid that uses Bejweled Twist's game mechanic for its battle system. Gyromancer puts you in the shoes of a mage named Rivel who will solve puzzles through over 10 stages and collect different beasts to help him fight.

"Gyromancer is a cool puzzle/RPG hybrid that uses Bejeweled Twist's game mechanic at the heart of its battle system," explained PopCap co-founder and CEO Jason Kapalka. "We've worked with Square Enix as a distribution partner in Japan for several years, and it was fun to collaborate with them in a more creative way on Gyromancer," he added.

If it's like the first Puzzle Quest, I'm interested. If it's like the second, I'm running away.

Any game that combines fighting beasts with swapping the location of jewels on a grid is aces in my book. Oh yeah, and PuzzleQuest Galactrix sucked...

Infinite Interactive dropped the ball big time with Galactrix and Puzzle Kingdoms. If someone else can come in and really build on the proven formula of the original Puzzle Quest then count me in because I was HOOKED on that game. Infinite, you guys did this to yourselves!

I want the mechanic to be Meteos instead of Bejeweled. I'll kick your ass at Meteos.

sure puzzle quest meets bejeweled twist. i guess d3 took too long to bring out a proper sequel to puzzle quest.

galactrix was terrible. way too luck driven.

PuzzleQuest #1 had me at go, I am looking forward to this game since (happy memory altering drugs kick in) Puzzlequest never had a sequel.
