Puzzle x Dragons Z

**Puzzle x Dragons Z** (パズドラゼット, *Puzzle x Dragons Z*) is a Japanese game developed for Nintendo 3DS by GungHo Online Entertainment and was released on December 12, 2013.

## Story

The Dragmeshia Continent, a land where dragons and humans coexist. Living in the capital Z-City, the protagonist is a rookie Dragon Tamer who meets a dragon named Syrup. Together they adventure and must stop an evil organization named "Paradox" from fulfilling their ambitions to build dystopia to the continent.

## Gameplay

Like all dungeon games, the player must form a party of monsters and explore dungeons and battle monsters following the sliding gameplay.

There are daily dungeons found by daily runes with levels set by novice, intermediate, expert and master, each containing the following chips by attribute per day.

## Monster Guide

The Monster Guide allows you to see what monsters you have collected, have only seen or haven't seen yet. Tapping on a monster's icon allows you to see its name, rarity, type, attribute, level maximum, and approximations of it stats on the top screen, while you can see their skill and leader skill (if they have any) by default, although part of the UI allows you to switch between displayed data on the bottom screen.

Skills displays a monster's Skill and Leader Skill. Details lets you see a paragraph of info on the monster, as well as letting you hear its sound and see its attack. Evo Path displays a monster's evolution path, if it does evolve at all. Finally, Egg/Chips displays what you need in order to obtain a monster. Some monsters are base forms and require an egg to be hatched and obtained, while an evolution displays the chip/chips required to obtain that evolution.
