More Puzzle Goodness!
Sega has announced that Puyo Puyo Tetris 2’s new Skill Battle mode and online features that will be available at launch. In Skill Battle mode, players will create teams of three from selectable characters in either Puyo Puyo or Tetris gameplay settings and use their unique skills to create the ultimate lineup.
Each character starts out with a single speciality and learns more powerful skills as you play with them. Selecting characters with complementary skills becomes a key strategy for winning a Skill Battle match. As you play, you’ll pop Puyos and clear Tetris lines, sending Garbage Puyos and blocks to the other player’s board. When the garbage falls, your opponent loses HP. If their HP hits 0, you win!!
New Features for Skill Battle:
- Character Skills: Leverage powerful character skills to change the landscape of any Skill Battle match, from recovering HP to changing the colour of Puyos to erasing Tetris lines, and more.
- Level Up: Increase your character’s HP, MP, Attack, Defense, and Recovery by playing through the game’s Adventure mode.
- Item Cards: Power up your team with Item Cards to improve your character stats, with exclusive offerings tied to the game’s Launch Edition.
Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 offers fun for all types of players, including Leagues for experienced gamers and a Free Play mode for fun and casual gameplay. Â
Building onto Puzzle League from the previous game, three additional Leagues have been added: Tetris League, Puyo Puyo League, and Skill Battle League. These Leagues provide a competitive space where you can match your strategy and talents against other pros and see how you rank amongst the world’s best. Free Play, brought over from Puyo Puyo Tetris, lets you play at a more casual pace with any ruleset and without the pressure of rankings.Â
