The Quest

Back in a simpler time, when the computer games didn't hold your hand and visuals took a back seat to story telling, there existed games like this. Whenever I get an itch to dip into nostalgia, this is the kind of game that I'm looking for. Simple graphics that allow your imagination to fill in the blanks, rich characters and world building, difficult combat without being overly complicated and so much more. If I had one complaint it would be that if you aren't leveling alchemy, then the ingredients you collect can give you a small fortune. I have had more than enough money for potions, equipment upgrades and so on. With all the potions I can carry lining my pockets, I don't really need to worry about dying, or at least I shouldn't, but the game does a great job of ramping up difficulty and keeping you on your toes if you aren't careful. The only other complaint I have is a minor one. When you load up the game and click continue, you will start the game wherever you left off rather than at your last saved location. While not inherently bad, and in fact somewhat helpful, this has lead to me having to quit back to the main menu to load up my last save more than a few times. Ultimately, in this time of fast paced combat and complicated controls, this slower, less straightforward game is a breath of fresh air. If you are looking for some classic RPG fun that'll challenge you, this is the game for you!

A badly made game. The quest log gives barely any details on the quests and if you lack enough persuade or lock pick many of them are impossible to complete. However the game never tells you this. The main quest involve having to travel the entire length of the map before you can start it, then is a series of minor quests that are less difficult than traveling to these quests. The villain's plan makes no sense and the health of the governor is completely irrelevant to the plot.

This in the best old school rpg among new and old ones. Simple systems, charming vibes, well written dialogues, tons of content, fenomenal progression and some interesting choices to make. If you like this kind of games I suggest also “Orcs & Elves” for the Nintendo DS (no open world but very fun) or “Fighting Fantasy” for the Nintendo DS: vibes, fenomenal dialogues and cool gameplay progression systems as well but smaller and real time combat.

Great game. Some wonky mechanics an early game difficulty can make this difficult to get into. If you give it a chance I'm confident it won't disappoint.

Fun game. Totally worth your time. Gets pretty tedious around half way through. Played and restarted several times. Never finished the game. Got bored and moved on.

Одна из немногих игр в наше время которая сделана с душой.

- So fun to play, rating 98/100
