Description

Puyo Puyo!! 20th Anniversary brings back the classic falling‑block puzzle action with 24 playable characters, each boasting their own eight‑stage campaign. The game blends fantasy humor and competitive multiplayer, offering both single‑player story and split‑screen battles for friends. Set in a quirky dimension‑hopping adventure starring Ringo Andou, Maguro Sasaki, and Risukuma, the title captures the series’ comedic spirit while delivering refined mechanics familiar to longtime fans.

Arle Nadja sets out to stop Satan’s devious plan to enlarge the sun and achieve the perfect tan, bringing players into a vibrant tropical world filled with humor and fantasy. The game introduces Sun Puyo, a new element that adds fresh strategies to the classic match‑4 puzzle formula. Originally released in Japanese arcades in 1997 and later ported to PC, Saturn, PlayStation and Windows 95, Puyo Puyo SUN features fully voiced cutscenes and supports both single‑player and split‑screen multiplayer modes, delivering a nostalgic yet original experience for puzzle enthusiasts.
