BrawlQuest

What this game is- A free 2d/pixel art mmorpg that will remind you of the overworld of early Final Fantasy games. Lots to explore, collect, and do. Combat isn't exactly mystery dungeon/old school turn based, but quite similar feeling. What I can appreciate- This is made by a two person development team. It knows what it is and aims to do it well from what I've seen thus far. I like the effort put into world-building, the fact that the game is completely free, and the many items available. There's a satisfying sound when collecting xp. This is a game that would be perfect to relax when you don't feel like playing anything else, something not very mentally taxing to enjoy while talking with friends. It doesn't need fancy animations or high poly, hyper realistic graphics for what it sets out to accomplish. I don't think this game is for everyone, and that's okay. I think some that are willing to give it a chance will enjoy it as a nice addition to their library. I also like that there are pets and mounts, crafting, and bosses What I would like to see: basic character customization...maybe a female avatar, and a skin tone adjuster. As I have very little playtime now, I will add IF I feel the need as I gain more hours. What do I dislike: currently, nothing. I have a very short attention span for games right now due to burnout but this seems very enjoyable for those seeking a simple retro mmorpg experience that can also be enjoyed solo. Note to players: I know this style of game isn't everyone's cup of tea. It may feel dated in 2022 to many people, and that's fair honestly. What I see is a passion project from two people that have poured countless hours of their lives into this to bring a COMPLETELY free game they thought you could enjoy with friends. For that alone I am willing to explore this world they've made, and if I enjoy it, follow them and potentially support any future projects there may be. Note to devs: I appreciate the effort you've made and will likely delve deeper into the game as time goes by. I hope my comment allows more poeple to take notice, and eventually have a steady community of people that can share secrets, raid together, and generally enjoy this game. Thank you for your hard work and no subscription price or microtransactions. I look forward to seeing future content (unless the world is complete, then I look forward to discovering the many secrets over time)

"Updated every few days" - The lie detector test determined that's a lie I explored the map for like 5 minutes. Then randomly started dying. Literally being killed by nothing. Come to find out that the lag everyone talks about is that it doesn't load any monsters or world in for you. Just the map. This game is quite literally, unplayable. Not worth a download. I flagged it to Steam as such and everyone else should too.

There's no neutral option so you get the thumbs down. Thems the breaks, chief. *It has crunchy-ass pixel art. Some people don't like that sort of thing. Those people are probably 12 and play fortnite so their opinion is wrong by default. *It costs $0. *Game has a population of 0. *The UI is confusing and I spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to craft something because the button to craft things doesn't say craft, it's just a big crusty png in the middle of the UI that doesn't look remotely like a button you can interact with. Cool. *It does, in fact, lag like ♥♥♥♥ at times despite being the only person online. And the netcode doesn't give two ♥♥♥♥♥ about your bad connection so it's impossible to do anything while you're lagging like ♥♥♥♥. It's charming when its not lagging, you can wander around and vibe and ♥♥♥♥, there's stuff to see, stuff to kill, whatever. Only problem is that it currently feels like an alpha-state project someone slapped together in a month in their free time because they were bored. I think it could be a cool-ass game if it had more polish, but at the moment it's...well, not. I'm not going to hold the lack of player population against it, but not even the old men like me that like crusty-ass 2d mmos from the 90s would want to play this for long in its current state.

its alr game just the ping is worse then the fortnite community and the achievements dont work

puxking server. I can't do somthing. if you wanna attack something, you can 1 min later.

Amazing

Seems very fun, the only problem I found in my little playing time on this game is that there is blood when you hit trees, will definitely spend more time on this little game

this game is absolute crap
