PSP system owners will no longer need a UMD to play the critically-acclaimed Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords as it is now available for download via the PlayStationStore. Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords is available for download for $14.99.

Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords Features:

• Innovative Gameplay Style – Strategy and role-playing elements that function harmoniously in the puzzle gameboard setting offer a refreshing twist on classic puzzle gameplay, fostering an exceptional depth of investment and enjoyment.
• Head-to-Head Gameplay Mechanism - Competitive, turn-based gameplay encourages you to plan, think and strategize against opponents instead of just react like most traditional puzzle games; game difficulty and progression are related to outsmarting your enemies as opposed to difficulty increasing solely through level progression.
• No Penalty for Losing - If you experience defeat, you are still awarded experience points as well as partial gold and then encouraged to try again; this allows constant progression and avoids any feelings that invested play time is wasted.
• Continuous Reward System - At every turn, you will acquire helpful companions, collect or cast powerful magic spells, gather informational "rumors," and obtain items like weapons, armor and money to advance your hero.
• Short - or Long-term Play Sessions - Play in long or short doses since the depth of the game does not waver according to the length of a gameplay session; each battle ranges from 3-10 minutes.
• Create and Build a Hero - Choose from two male and two female avatars in each of the four character classes - Druid, Knight, Warrior and Wizard - to create, develop and customize your ultimate hero.
• Build Your Own Empire - Build an empire as you capture cities, build castles and gain a party of companions that will aid you in battle.

Three Distinct Gameplay Modes Offer Unparalleled Replayability:

• Single-player: Battle against the computer AI as you embark on more than 150 challenging quests
• Instant Action: Jump in and immediately play continuous battles to level up your character without participating in quests
• Multiplayer: Battle live opponents via wireless connectivity on both the PSP (PlayStation Portable) system.
