Puyo Puyo~n

Screenshots

Summary

This game was released exclusively in Japan. It serves as the fourth entry in the Puyo Puyo series and is the final title set during the Madou-era of the main series. Following the tradition of naming the games based on puns, the title is derived from a play on the Japanese word "yon," which means the number four. However, in this case, it is the only nod to the pun. The gameplay is similar to Puyo Puyo 2 but introduces super attacks. Clearing chains now fills a "charge meter," enabling players to unleash these powerful moves. The only other new feature is a revised game mode that allows for different field sizes, either smaller or larger than the standard 6x12 grid. However, several modes from Puyo Puyo Sun were removed, such as tournament, task, and chain training. The art style is also significantly different from the previous games in the main series and the Fever series; this visual approach was previously only seen in Minna de Puyo Puyo.

Storyline

With the arrival of the Puyo Puyo Circus, Arle and Carbuncle have joined in the celebration and taken part in the festivities. Curious about the performances, Arle heads into one of the tents to watch a show led by Satan, who serves as the ringmaster. During one of the acts, Satan asks for a volunteer to step onto the stage, and it's Carbuncle who steps forward. As part of the performance, he is made to disappear before the audience's eyes. After the show ends and Arle exits the tent, she quickly realizes that Carbuncle is missing. Determined to find him, she begins to search the entire circus grounds in hopes of locating her friend. Puyo Puyo~n offers two difficulty levels: Beginner and Normal. The Beginner course includes the first three stages and skips all cutscenes. In story mode, Arle is unable to use her own Super attack, but as the game progresses, players can summon the abilities of Draco Centauros, Serilly, Witch, and Chico. This story mode differs from previous Puyo Puyo games by introducing significant changes in gameplay rules from one stage to the next. Because the Story Mode is longer than in other Puyo Puyo titles, the game automatically saves after each stage. This lets players exit the game and return later to the same stage without losing any progress.
