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.
