The Quest PC Review

Perhaps you think that part of the title have been inadvertently exposed to this assessment. "The Quest?" You may ask yourself, "The Quest for what? Glory? Camelot? Holy grail?" But I assure you, The Quest is the full name for this game by the development team of two men Hungarian red switch. Originally made for mobile devices in 2006, The Quest to replicate, warm fuzzy feeling felt by nostalgic gamers who play first dungeon crawlers Olde. It may seem strange to you that a game of this nature were originally developed for the Pocket PC. Here's a surprise: it's fantastic.
The main plot is nothing dazzling or completely original, but like many side quests and optional events, written in a style the best. What I mean by this? Well, your main goal is to find clues about the disappearance of a mayor and look at the values ​​of an ancient prophecy. This material may not sound like epic storytelling, but attractive characters and the dialogue you will come across on the way to really keep you going.

Most of us are familiar with medieval fare generally found in millions of games, books and films, so Quest emanates a vibe similar to the yawn can cause a number. Do not be fooled, though; settings may remind you of a King Arthur story, but in this world there are many more streetwalkers, conniving witch but useful, funny and quirky than Camelot. For example, a teacher in Vastares horoscope gives you rather, shall we say, predictable sex you follow the signs suggest. Right down the road from the town which is very similar to a full brothel, complete with many side quests.

That's right, the game allows you to work on the side of streetwalkers above, "who called women", and other shady characters. These deals come at a cost, however, as your reputation bar can actually decrease, causing your character to turn evil. This can affect the dialogue with different people and even your end. Other actions that can alter your fame in a negative fashion is burglarizing home at night and pickpocketing others from behind.
When you do not get up to mischief, however, a large, open world waiting to be explored. Date of your quest, you will be making your way through a forest full of robbers, shuffled around in the toxic swamp, and dug deep into undead infested caves. Before you begin, you must first create your adventure. You can start with different attributes, proficient skills, and appearance according to your choice in character creation menu. If magic is your thing, there are so many spells and wand at your perusal. Have an ax to grind? Melee weapons can be found or purchased in town. If you want to make your target from a distance, however, supply and throwing weapons are also available. My character is polite proficient in each type of attack, but master of none. No matter what class you prefer to play as in role playing games, you'll be able to create them.
Movement is tile-based, which means you move one square at a time over the landscape. This may sound slow and clumsy for a modern game, but keep a scroll key will allow you to travel at more speed. That is, until the fight was started; if an enemy is close enough to you, the game goes into a turn-based mode that moves a square or perform an action then would allow the enemy to take a turn. Foes not seem to have the scale to your level in The Quest, so it is likely to wander into an area where you are quickly slaughtered. A surprising number of these tactics may come into play when facing multiple enemies, the trick some groups stayed behind a tree or obstacle while your face with your friends self.

However, there are other things to do besides striving tirelessly around, hit the skeleton with an ax? You bet there is! Between missions or trips of exploration, feel free to stop by some of the services available in the town. You can buy or sell potions, alchemy ingredients, weapons, armor, and even be able to read books. A great addition to the usual shop trading is a mage can enchant wand and your clothes with any typos that you know for a fee. Another convenient feature is a self-contained simple card game, you can play with the street vendors in any tavern. Here you can choose from a small number of floors, bet, and try your luck. Yes attack, defense, and healing cards that you can play with some cards hold that there is a beneficial effect with each turn as long as you keep them. There is not a whole lot to the card minigame, but it is a very welcome distraction and admirable effort for something you would not normally expect to find in a game like this.
Strange art style. And when I say that, I of course mean that excellent strange! A blend of almost surreal what appears to be human and environmental rotoscoped hand painting can seem like a design choice to start bad art. It does not take long to get used to them and really appreciate the effort that goes into making them, though. The Quest has the complete cycle of day and night, the villagers disappeared into their homes in the late hours, which is a nice touch.
Characters and objects large and detailed, although most of the villagers and look identical streetwalkers other than the palette. The user interface, while perhaps not the best designed, clear and easy to see. Navigation is a cinch with a minimap on the screen and a high variation on which you can click around to see where this location. You can also note on the map to remind ourselves about the special place or people.

Overall, great graphics an unusual way, harkening back to the days of Might & Magic, but with its own appeal. No option is available resolution, although full-screen mode and windows. When playing in a window, you can change the screen size is large you want, and there is also a selection of exclusive games that keep the window in the front.
The Quest has some tracks that play around as you venture out into the wilderness. The ingredients do their job, but not excessive. Sound effects too, with weapons and magic pitched crying lightning, but again nothing outstanding. I really had a problem that sometimes the game will not play any sound or music when booting up. In fact, this has happened to me the first time I played the game, I think it makes no sound. I was very surprised, when you start up again, the music out of my speakers. Since then, it is more silent than not, but that can be fixed by exit and restart.
Moving and shortcuts can easily be rebinded from their default. If you are not the type of player the keyboard, the mouse can be used for everything, including the movement by clicking on the arrow icon. In combat, a cool optional feature is the ability to queue attacks by attacking or move more than once during your turn. The first act is done, then the enemies away, and your second act takes place. Unless you are predisposed to hate the tile-based movement, you will have no problem getting around.
