Today GungHo Online Entertainment announced that Puzzle & Dragons crossed 15 million downloads in North America.

Since the hit mobile game’s North American debut in 2012, Puzzle & Dragons has garnered fans with its engaging fusion of casual puzzle gameplay and classic RPG elements, joined by numerous collaborations with world-famous IPs from pop culture, anime, and video games.

“In over a decade since we launched Puzzle & Dragons, the global community has grown to incredible heights. Today’s milestone is a testament to our North American community’s love and enthusiasm for Puzzle & Dragons,” said Jun Iwasaki, President and CEO of GungHo Online Entertainment America. “Thank you to our many Puzzle & Dragons players; your support allows us to keep expanding upon this game, so it can continue to thrive for many more years to come.”

GOE brings back everything that fans loved about the beloved blockbuster puzzle RPG, now with more game modes to enjoy with friends, including: 

  • Quest Mode: Experience a single-player adventure through 16 dungeons spanning 75 floors, or form a party and join forces with up to four players in couch co-op.
  • PvP Mode: Compete for the high score with up to eight players in three kinds of matches:
    • World Match: Challenge random opponents from around the world.
    • Friend Match: Create an online lobby to face off against friends.
    • Computer Match: Practice offline against NPCs.
  • Custom Mode: Create, play, and share your own unique dungeons.

It wouldn’t be Puzzle & Dragons without achievement goals that come with big rewards. The more you play, the more you can earn avatars by pulling them from one of four Egg Machines: 

  • Standard Egg Machine
  • Heroine Egg Machine
  • Godfest Egg Machine
  • Dragons & Dragonbound Egg Machine

New avatars can be collected from an additional three Egg Machines available as DLC on the Nintendo eShop. Each avatar comes with a bonus item that includes either a new Team, Awakening Badge, Additional Song, or Cosmetic Skin. 

On the Nintendo Switch, fans will get to play Puzzle & Dragons like never before in either TV mode, tabletop mode, or handheld mode. A Nintendo Switch Online subscription will be required for online multiplayer and custom dungeon sharing/downloading. 

Puzzle & Dragons is available on Nintendo Switch (eShop), App Store and Google Play.
