The game features the characters from thePuyo Puyo series, and also featured guest characters from several Japanese franchises likeDetective Conan,[1]Sailor Moon,[2] andMy Melody.[3]
Puyopuyo!! Quest can be linked to its companionarcade game,Puyopuyo!! Quest Arcade.[4] It supportsALL.Net system, and uses Sega's Aime Card to store player data and game progress, which adds a new card to the player's inventory.
The game offers an experience similar to several puzzle role-playing games likePuzzle & Dragons, with a playability different from traditionalPuyo Puyo games. The player deletes five types of "Puyo" (red, blue, green, yellow and purple) on a 6x8 square matrix puzzle screen by finger swiping. When four or more puyos of the same color are connected vertically or horizontally, they disappear and their actions are linked to make an ally card attack, corresponding to the color of each card. The board is constantly filling as the player deletes Puyos.
As agacha game, the player can collect character and item cards to improve them by combining them. These cards can be obtained by completing matches, or by redeeming them with tickets, or magic stones present in the game (the latter can be purchased with real money).
