First, it is important for new gamers to note that "Puyo Puyo Tetris" is crossover game between the franchises "Puyo Puyo" and "Tetris." It was introduced in 2014 on PlayStation 3, Xbox One, PS Vita, Nintendo 3DS and the PS4 but only in Japan.
This year, it was ported to PS4 for other regions. It was also released as one of the games available on Nintendo Switch at launch day in Japan and last Tuesday in North America.
Being a crossover game, there are several game modes where the two franchises can be played separately and combined on others.
"Puyo Puyo Tetris" has four main game mode categories, namely Adventure, Multiplayer Arcade, Solo Arcade, and Online. These are then sub-divided to several other types of gameplay.
The Adventure mode has the most typical setup. A single player has to go through 10 acts that have 10 stages each, which means a total of 100 levels where players will be required to pass through various challenges that features either "Puyo Puyo" and "Tetris."
The Multiplayer Arcade allows four local gamers to join in a competitive play session. It includes several types of sub-category game modes that feature the game mechanics of both franchises. For example, in the Fusion mode, players will compete while dealing with both Puyos and Tetriminos simultaneously.
On the other hand, Solo Arcade lets a single player fight a competitive game session, but instead of going up against three other local players, they will go head-to-head with one to three AI opponents. Meanwhile, Online mode also lets players go up against three other gamers that come from different places in the world.
