    What some may see as archaic, dated design, I personally see as charming and refreshing. The Quest strives to plough its own unique furrow and in an ocean of charmless copycat clones, The Quest stands out as a pretty unique throwback to the old school RPG days of yore; it’s a game very much comfortable in its own orcish skin. Though, some may be perturbed by The Quest‘s old fashioned exterior, there is a deep, addictive and rewarding adventure to embark upon if given the chance.

    It doesn't have interesting combat system or tight resource management that good dungeon crawler should have. You control only one character and there are no special moves for melee or ranged combat. You get way too much money and loot from killing monsters, more than you need or even can spend. And skills are VERY unbalanced: with Environmental magic and wands you can use spells of any other school of magic while doing it even better than a full-mage character. And alchemy allows creation of 100%+ magic resistance potions for example)

    All those balance and combat issues would be not that big of a deal if The Quest had an engaging story and memorable world like in Morrowind. But it doesn't: quests, dialogues and environments are very generic and minimalistic.    … Full Review »
