GAMEPLAY

Like the previous game, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 revolves around the two different gameplay styles of the Puyo Puyo and Tetris series respectively. Players can choose between Puyo style, which involves arranging colored blobs (payos) and matching them together to set off combo chains, and Tetris style, which involves placing shaped blocks (tetrominoes) to create lines and removing them from the grid. Players compete against each other with the style of their choosing, to send garbage to their opponents, causing their playfield to overflow and eliminate them.

The game features all the modes featured in the original Puyo Puyo Tetris, including the Swap and Fusion modes which feature both styles. In addition to a new story and characters, the game introduces new modes, such as Skill battles which allow for character-based skills and items to quickly change the game. It was also stated to have an improved online mode from the first game, allowing for more competition in leagues and free play, as well as new modes. In Adventure mode, the players traverse an overworld and engage in Skill Battles with other characters in the story, which acts more like a JRPG.

STORY

After the events of the first game, the worlds of Puyo and Tetris are separated once more, leading to all of the characters forgetting the memories they gained from their previous adventure. Strangely, the two puzzle worlds merge once more, seemingly caused by a brand new character, Marle. Ringo first encounters Tee and his crew in Suzuran, who are encouraged to pursue the mysterious force by the Keeper of Dimensions, Ex.

After Ringo gathers Amitie, Arle Nadja, and Carbuncle the characters are introduced to the S.S Tetra’s crew, they pursue Marle. Eventually, they learn that she had brainwashed many of the citizens of Primp Town into constantly desiring to battle. Through the act of battling, Tee’s crew and Ringo’s friends free the citizens from Marle’s spell and eventually find and defeat her.

Marle reveals that she had been under the control of another new character, Squares. The cast of characters travels aboard the S.S Tetra to ask for Ex’s guidance, who creates a path of various riddles to help Marle recall the circumstances surrounding the merging of worlds and Squares. After regaining her memories, Marle explains that she is the human incarnation of the Will of the Worlds and that Squares was created by her to focus on maintaining the order of the world.

The group of friends travel to the edge of the two worlds and face off against Squares, who wish to destroy both worlds entirely due to their merging disrupting the natural order. As they battle Squares, Marle realizes that Squares has the mentality of an infant despite his older appearance and voice. Marle calms Squares, and the group helps quell the power he has progressively gained for the adventure. After saying their sentimental goodbyes, the worlds separate once more.
