About the game
The puzzle game of the future has arrived! The original best-selling new Puzzle franchise is back in an all new dimension with its signature Match-3, turn based battles in an insanely addictive and masterful hybrid of RPG and Puzzle genres.
Minimum specs
Minimum on the Steam store: 1 GB of memory, 256 Mb (GeForce 7 / Radeon X800), 297 MB of storage. Windows only.
The value story
Across all 14 discounts in the 13 years tracked, the median cut is 50 percent, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 246 weeks ago.
It is pricier than 62 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. MARVEL Puzzle Quest (free, scores 23) and Gems of War - Puzzle RPG (free, scores 52) both outscore it.

What players say
I like this a lot more than the main line puzzle quest. There's more to do and the gravity angle makes the actual puzzles more interesting for a while. It will get repetitive long before you finish the game, but it's worth a look anyways.

Win 10/11 users: Right click windows icon -> run enter the following and confirm: OptionalFeatures.exe Windows Features should be opening Select "Legacy Components" Check "Directplay" "OK" I reinstalled galactrix after that, and disabled steam overlay, just in case, boom, works.
Honestly can't recommend this game. Like the original Puzzle Quests it has a good storyline, interesting characters, RPG elements, crafting, and the whole smear to keep you engaged and playing....BUT.... It plays terribly on PC. I'm an older gamer who loves the older games that I grew up with, so my PC has a lot of programs and apps to make old games work, even when they shouldn't. I've tried everything I could...
