In addition of the traditional mechanics, it introduces role-playing elements, allowing to have up to three allies in team, as well as over 60 side missions and introduces a new protagonist, Ally.
Puyo Puyo Chronicle offers a series of mechanics and modes present in previous releases, as well as a story mode in RPG format.
The main mode. Starring Arle, who was attracted by a mysterious glow from a book, being moved to another world. Arle will meet Ally, who will accompany her on her adventure for that new world.
The story mode has a number of features:
In "RPG mode", the game progresses basically by achieving "missions" that occur in various places. The search has a "main search" related to the progress of the story and a "sub-search" not related to the progress of the main story, and a reward can be obtained when the search is accomplished.
The "Skill Battle" begins when you touch a monster in the field. In this mode, if you erase Puyos, you can drop nuisance Puyos on your opponent and attack. During the battle, the monsters can send nuisance Puyos to the opponent, and if they fall to the playing field, the character's HP will decrease. In addition, when the Puyos accumulate to the top of the board, the remaining HP are considerably reduced and the field restarts. Nuisance Puyos will not fall during the offset. If you win in battle, you can earn coins and improve the character card. In addition, the seeds of the chain appear in their field at the beginning of the battle, the HP/MP will always recover fully after the battle is over. Touching a monster from behind in the field increases the "chain seed" that appears at the beginning of the battle on a chain. On the other hand, if the monster is touched from behind, it will be "unexpected" and nuisance Puyo will fall to the enemy's board and take damage.
Each character has a different "skill", and can be activated at will by consuming MP while playing. The skills have a variety of effects, such as changing the color of the puyos on the board and increasing the powers of the character.
In skill battles, a team is formed organizing up to 3 characters and up to 4 "Puyo Puyo Cards". The HP and MP status of the team changes according to the character and organization of the cards. When a character advances through the story or wins a battle, the character joins the group and can be added to the player's team. Also, if you defeat a monster along the way, you can join a group. In addition, the battles of "Skill Battle" of "Minna de Puyo Puyo" and "Internet" are carried out using the team data created in the "RPG mode".
Characters can be strengthened by equipping with Puyo Puyo cards that can be obtained from village stores and treasure chests in the countryside. There are several types of Puyo Puyo cards that can be combined to create stronger cards.
There is a "Boss battle with everyone" mode for 2-4 players who collaborate with other players in local communications to defeat the boss. In this mode, you can challenge the use of your saved data, and you can get a rare "Puyo Puyo Card" by defeating the boss. The rules of the battle are the same as for the previous "Battle of Skills", but in this mode, when the "Condition of Opportunity Time" shown at the beginning of the battle is reached, "Time of Opportunity" (same that "Fever Mode" of "Puyo Puyo Fever") Occurs for a certain time.
Single-player mode through the different rules and modes available.
A mode for battles between two or four players in the local network.
Mode for two or four players online in three different rules: Skill Battle, Puyo Puyo Dori and Puyo Puyo Fever. You can participate in the following modes:
A way in which the player can learn the basic rules and chain techniques of Puyo Puyo.
