The list author says: "A list of good puzzle games with RPG elements. In this games by matching tiles (or something else) you get to attack the enemy, etc. There's also upgrades, missions, and stories like an RPG game."
"It plays like Puzzle Quest, but with pirates. There's mini games. Also, if you like this one try out The Adventures of Mary Ann: Lucky Pirates (which isn't available on Amazon :/ )"
