Puzzle Quest Talactrix Developer Guide
|
| You control how pieces on a the battle board refresh! So select a piece to make a match. Whichever direction you move that piece will dictate how all new pieces come onto the board for that turn. This also works in all of the mini-games. |
|
|
| Think about how your moves could benefit an enemy ship before you make them. Try not to help your opponent by leaving them a costly mine or shield match. |
|
|
A great way to defeat your opponent faster is to always think about how you can do the most damage every turn. Try to think:
- How can I do the most damage using what is on the battle board?
- If there are no Mine matches, how can I use my items to damage my opponent?
|
|
|
| Enemy ships will do anything they can to protect themselves. Don't leave shield gem matches on the board for your opponent to use. Use them first! |
|
|
| USE YOUR ITEMS!!! Some of these ships are tough; proper use of items will make you considerably more powerful. |
|
|
| Every time you enter a new system, make sure you check what the system has to offer before you go right onto your next quest. Each system in Puzzle Quest Galactrix is unique and has special shops, asteroids and moons for you to explore. |
|
|
| There are 150 items in Puzzle Quest Galactrix and the main way to get them is to buy them at shops. Shops have different names in different systems such as Erebus Shipyard, Gemini Engines and Emporium of Keck. Each shop sells different items so you have to go every shop in the galaxy to make sure that you have every item to use! |
|
|
| If you are short on credits, go mine an asteroid. You get to keep anything you mine and if clear the quotas of cargo required, you'll get a sizable bonus. Once you've got some cargo, you can sell them at any system in the galaxy. |
|
|
| You have three ship slots in Puzzle Quest: Galactrix. You should always try to have balance amongst your three ships. It's good to have one ship that can equip powerful Gunnery items, a second ship that can hold a lot of cargo and a third ship that can move fast. |
|
|
| When you are mining, make sure that you remember that you control how new pieces come on the board by how you move a piece when making a match. So try to use this to move pieces closer together. |
|
|
| You should always try to go after the lowest quota cargo material first, as it's generally the hardest to clear. |
|
|
| You are under time pressure, so make sure you match time gems whenever they appear because they will give you an extra 10 seconds. |
|
|
| If you find that there are no gems on the board that are the next color gem that you need to match, just make random matches to start clearing space on the board. The more space you can clear, the better your chance to get the next color gem that you need. |
