The Quest is a turn-based RPG featuring an FPS (first person) view and hand-drawn artwork. Originally developed for the Palm and Pocket PC devices, the game offers an in-depth skills system very reminiscent of the Elder Scrolls series.


The Quest is definitely not for the casual gamer who needs their hand held right through till the end. Hell, even if you're a seasoned RPG veteran you may encounter some difficulty. However, regardless of your gaming prowess I encourage everyone to give this game a try. Odds are you'll like it.

Character Creation

When creating your character you are given the choice of several races (each come with their pros/cons) as well as several preset classes. These classes come with 6 preselected skills which normally work together nicely. Despite this I think it's much more fun to create my own class.


Combat

The combat can be fairly difficult and frustrating, especially early on in the campaign. It is likely you will die quite often so I suggest you make liberal use of the save feature. Smart use of potions, scrolls, and spells is highly recommended.


In order to recover mana or health you need to either consume a potion or rest. To rest you must have both food and water in your inventory and be far away from any enemies. While resting however there is a chance that it will begin to rain, which of course ruins your sleep and leaves your mana and health in less than pristine condition.

It can at times be difficult to navigate the world but after awhile you become used to the map and are able to traverse the forests, jungles, and cities without too much trouble.


Conclusion

The Good
  • Excellent skills system
  • Combat is difficult and rewarding
  • Many different ways to play
The Bad
  • Navigation can be challenging at times
  • Quests can be somewhat confusing (Not necessarily a bad thing...)
  • Graphics (They are important to some people)
Should I buy it?

If you enjoy a challenge and love "old-school" RPGs then I don't understand why you haven't bought this game yet. If you're new to the RPG scene then I still highly recommend The Quest, it's what a good game should be.

Thanks for reading!

All that being said, the aspect to all of this that I wish to share,
and perhaps provide a dose of caution, is: Grades. If you have a great training session a healthy protein drink or a steak and salad
is what you feel like because that is what is going to
support the desired outcomes of your exercise routine.
As I don't buy Collector's Edition games as, to me, they're not worth the additional
money, I had to wait an extra few weeks for BG to put
Dark Parables: The Exiled Prince, the normal version, up on their site
for sale.
