About Puzzle & Dragons X: Ryuu no Shou

Puzzle & Dragons X is a spin-off of the massively popular Puzzle & Dragons mobile game, tailored for the Nintendo 3DS. Released in Japan on July 28, 2016, it comes in two versions: Ryuu no Shou (Dragon Chapter) and Kami no Shou (God Chapter). This Ryuu no Shou edition focuses on dragon-type monsters and offers a distinct storyline and set of collectible creatures.

The game blends match-three puzzle mechanics with RPG elements. You build a team of monsters, each with unique skills, and battle enemies by matching orbs of corresponding colors. Success depends on strategic team composition, orb manipulation, and timely skill activation. The game features a robust single-player campaign, alongside multiplayer quests via local wireless or online play.

As a Japan-exclusive title, the game is entirely in Japanese. This means you'll need at least basic Japanese reading ability to navigate menus and understand the story. However, the puzzle gameplay itself is largely language-independent, making it accessible to importers.

Key Features

  • Match-3 Puzzle Combat: Match colored orbs to attack enemies, with combos increasing damage.
  • Monster Collection: Recruit and evolve hundreds of monsters, including dragons, gods, and mythical creatures.
  • Team Building: Assemble a team of up to six monsters, each with active and passive skills.
  • Dragon-Focused Story: Follow a narrative centered on dragons, exclusive to this version.
  • Multiplayer Quests: Team up with friends locally or online for co-op battles.
  • StreetPass Integration: Exchange data with other players via StreetPass.
  • Extensive Endgame: Tackle challenging dungeons and special events for rare rewards.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Deep and addictive puzzle-RPG hybrid gameplay.
  • Huge roster of collectible monsters with evolution paths.
  • Two versions encourage trading and team diversity.
  • Multiplayer adds replayability.

Cons

  • Japanese language only—no official English localization.
  • Requires a Japanese 3DS or region-free emulation to play.
  • Puzzle mechanics may feel repetitive to some.
  • No online support for official servers (fan servers may exist).
