An underrated gem
Far from the tame Tetris everyone knows, this versus spin-off adds characters with special powers that wreak havoc on the opponent's board. Stuck in Japan and a touch unbalanced, it never broke through. But played in pairs, its mischievous chaos makes it a delightful multiplayer treat, perfect for anyone after a slightly crazy competitive puzzler.
Is Tetris Battle Gaiden still worth playing in 2026?
An original Japanese variant from BPS, Tetris Battle Gaiden injects characters with special powers and collectible gems into versus play, turning the duel into a colourful tactical clash. The idea of crystals to stockpile to trigger attacks greatly energises the multiplayer, which becomes the heart of the game. The charming production and the Japan exclusivity make it a sought after curiosity. An excellent competitive Tetris for fans of clever versus puzzles and collectors.
