Might & Magic Clash of Heroes is the first puzzle adventure RPG game from Ubisoft. It is inspired by the famous Heroes brand and set in the Might & Magic universe. With a cute manga art direction it has been re-mastered into a glorious 2D environment.

A classic DS mash-up is born
Mixing the heavy plot and masses of dialogue from an RPG with the instant gratification of a puzzle game might seem an odd choice, but Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes pulls it off with aplomb.

Reminiscent of classic DS puzzler Meteos, Clash of Heroes offers a stylus-sliding take on the match-three genre. Each puzzle is a battle against enemy forces, with theirs on the top screen and yours below: by sliding units in and out of place, you can form attacks with vertical trios and defensive walls with horizontal lines. Naturally each unit has its own strengths and special abilities, making this far more than your standard gem-matching game. There are more depths than the scope of this review can ably explain, with combos, link attacks, super walls and more all creating a satisfying puzzle platter.

If you get bored of taking on the lengthy campaign mode, there’s a quick battle option as well as local multiplayer, including single card download play. Whilst the addition of online multiplayer would have been the icing on the cake, being able to play with only one cartridge is a boon and one that should help rope your friends into some friendly might and magicking.

Conclusion
The real beauty of Clash of Heroes is it manages to feel like a good RPG and a great puzzler simultaneously. There’s enough value in both sides of the coin to please fans of either genre, and quick play mode thrives on the “one more go” puzzle philosophy. Although the dialogue and storyline carry very few surprises, the strength of the combat glosses over any fluffed lines. There’s no finer puzzle RPG on the market, making this a must-have for anyone who likes a bit of plot with their puzzles.
