Arle's Adventure: Treasure Hunter

Arle's Adventure: Treasure Hunter is a monster-training RPG for the PC, developed by Mind's Eye Productions and Compile and Published by Hasbro Interactive in 2000. The game features five worlds (or towns) and Internet play. It had a virtually similar game released for the Game Boy Color under the name Arle's Adventure: Magical Jewels. This the only spin-off game of the Puyo Puyo series that didn't see a release in Japan.

Gameplay
Arle's Adventure: Treasure Hunter is a monster training RPG in the vein of Pokémon. As Arle Nadja, the player collects several Puyo cards. Each Puyo card contains a monster that can be summoned into battle and enhanced by way of stat-raising gems.

In battle, Arle summons up to two monsters from her six-card hand to assist her. Random battles, which consist of Arle's team versus two card monsters and a familiar Madou Monogatari opponent, can be won by simply defeating the leader character; however, defeating the entire team yields an EXP bonus. The player's characters have their HP automatically restored after battle, but any completely-incapacitated monsters remain unavailable until the player visits a card station.
