QuestRun

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! It's absolute gutter-trash. It's EXTREMELY based on RNG. I purchased this back when it was still in alpha, and all the game company did before it's final release was remove all of the strategies people were using to get through it. Dodge does absolutely NOTHING to prevent higher end mobs from damaging your characters now, so even bards with 21 or higher levels in the dodge skill just get ran over.

If you try to build magic resistance on your characters; the Melee mobs run you over, and the same goes for getting high physical resistance. You just get squashed by magic. Sadly If you go either of the resistances you get killed over time because you don't do enough damage, and If you go straight damage, you'll end up missing 80% of your hits and just die from MASS damage.

Before the final release of the game, guns were the go too weapon to clear stages, but now they do nothing at late stage. If you decide to try to stack health, you can't heal your characters back up to full fast enough because they lack the special ability to heal all the way to full. But this is all irrelevant because a mob that does 15 points of damage each hit will just mow your characters over anyway.

The biggest sin in this game is that you can't reset your progress, this means that even if you uninstall and reinstall, or even delete the game from your registry it will not reset the game. If I would have know this, I would not have purchased the Vampire (an absolute POS character that once it is purchased will show up in about 1/3rd of all character select groups), this also includes some of the pet upgrades that are absolutely worthless.

The only character worth getting is the apprentice, but even getting past the stages necessary to unlock this character is so nerve racking it's not even worth the time spent to get to that point.

I loved the art style of this game. It is definitely what drew me into the game when I first saw it for purchase. The music is also very well done, and the initial game concept is good, but that's where this games better qualities end.

Just do yourself a favor. Don't buy it. this game company shouldn't be given funds for a game that clearly wasn't designed to be entertaining, and was pushed out as a finished product just to get something out for sale.

It Looks like a Dungeon Rushers BETA Build with out the RPG Mechanics. you can't save your progress. You start at level ONE every time you beat a level. it feels and plays like a FREE Game App.

This game is both simple and very fun. Maybe it was ahead of its time before the roguelike craze. I have a hard time understanding all the bad reviews. It's not a AAA game but its also at a low price. I had a great 10 hours of enjoyment trying to figure out how to clear the dungeons with different teams. Like a simple version of has been heroes.

Interesting concept, bad realization, fun mechanics, no plot.
Was challenging for about 15 mins or so.
would be good if it had a campaign mode at least, this way its only random map after random map.
3/10

I tried 3 seperate times to get into QuestRun, but found the level of difficulty in the 3-5th levels to be too high for the lack of enjoyment I was having. It may be an awesome game, but be aware there is a large commitment for entry. I personally did not feel as though the random elements were implemented correctly.

Unlike skill-based combat roguelikes, such as Binding of Isaac or Rogue Legacy, this game is more of a strategy-focused combat roguelike. In skill-based combat, an entire run of bad luck feels as though it is partially the player's fault, for not being good enough. However, in strategy-focused combat, an entire run of bad luck feels out of the player's control. Even if a player does everything right, the bad luck can force a failure. (For the record, I do not count quick movement of the mouse to manage party members to be skill, as the core of this game is to use the correct strategies to approach situations.)

As such, I feel as though this game could use a little normalizing of the RNG. Also, it feels very unforgiving of mistakes, which considering it is a roguelike, are not always apparent until after they are made. But I digress, I am bad at the game, so all of these complaints could be unfair or unjust.

Personally, I loved this game. I managed to beat it, and for me I do not beat many games.
It is relatively short in comparison to others, there is some replayability if you did not manage to beat a challenge or two but did beat the campaign. If you are not good at management then this may pose a challenge as it is turn/time based, your team will automatically attack - they have abilities you can activate and equipment to switch around, they level up (you do not keep the level moving on to the next challenge, but it is all part of it because you can level up different characters accordingly and try different combinations of levels if you did not succeed)

It brought me hours of enjoyment.

Very good concept and great graphics with some hotkeys for fast action. A lot of fun to enjoys and the tactics are a lot deeper.

Game: 8.0/10
Graphic: 8.0/10

100% Achievement : Easy | Medium | Hard | Very Hard

The automated combat system is incredibly tedious, the difficulty is hard, very hard, After many attemps, I cannot finish even one mission after the tutorial missions.
This game was so dull, I leterally dozed off while playing. I cannot reccomend this game to people who love the old 8/16 bit RPG's we played on our NES/SNES/ etc. I could only reccomend this to people with insomnia, and those who lhave the hobby of watching grass grow or paint as it dries.

Misleading advertisements. You're buying a game I'd expect on a phone or iPad. Too low tech to do any customizing or have long-term advancement. Instead, you're just playing in attempts of perfectly timing when to switch people around.

Sure, there's some strategy in the game, but it's not beyond switching around people, or shuffling your team for a ridiculously long amount of time to try to get the perfect line-up before starting.

Things missing...
-Personalization.
-Leveling up your characters somewehre beyond just that one session.
-A better pause feature.
-Better animation.

Its kinda like a roguelike. You roll a random party of 3 seperate classes through different dungeons and challenges--What few there are will take a few tries to beat since the game doesn't go easy on you. The game is simple in that you reposition lanes, activate character spells, switch stances (which can buff the unit or even team at a personal stat cost) and use items as you knock out wave after wave of baddies. Characters level up in these runs and you up their stats and try to finish the dungeon.

Is it a good game? Sure. Its not a $9 game though. Catch it on sale for $3 or less and it'll be a nice casual time waster.

This is cute, but ultimately unsatisfying to play.

In short, there are not enough player choices, and they don't matter as much as the whims of the Random Number Generator.

Once a dungeon starts, your basic actions are limited to:
_ Choosing which hero goes in which lane: Combat system is an ATB variant where 1-to-1 fights happen in each lane, with a few exceptions (if the RNG blesses you with the rare ranged weapon drop, for one). So you can manipulate combat and EXP gains by pulling the ol' switcheroo.
_ Activate character specials: Very often you'll want to click that ASAP, so not much of a choice.
_ Use potions/equip new loot: Again, little actual freedom here. Pick the bigger number and heal when health is low.
_ Pick your Level Up bonus once in a while.

Compare/contrast with what the RNG determines:
_ The loot you get: Get nothing but 10 +1 swords in a row, fail dungeon. Retry with the same party and stats (and basically the same strategy, since there's little leeway for that), get proper weapons, shields and potions and breeze through the level.
_ The random events you get: You could get a real good weapon drop from the gnome! Or have to choose between losing 1/3 of your party or all your inventory. Five times in a row.
_ The stat increases you can pick, out of 3, at level-up time. Need more health, or a stronger special? Why not have more charisma instead, or maybe some magic attack for that knight guy!

So what you do, what you actually have influence on, matters way too little compared to sheer luck (not the stat, you, the player's luck -- well, maybe if you're into that Quantified Self thing you think of it as a stat) (which is pretty grating, FYI, you NERD).

UI's a bit clumsy too (for instance: only the highest charisma in the party matters, so you have to memorize who that is or pause when you have the option of a charisma increase), and it feels somewhat grind-heavy / free-to-play-ish (you can get pets/merchants to mitigate the RNG, but 1. it's not nearly enough and 2. they cost a looot, and heeey is that a second type of currency?).

Anyway, skip.

It’s hard for me to give QuestRun a bad recommendation but it would be hard for me to give this a good recommendation as well. The mechanics are fun, but it’s a tiresome game if you have little to no patience. You have three heroes chosen at random and can switch their places. They take whacks at enemies and you chose when you activate their special powers. It sounds fun on paper, but this game is difficult. It takes a bit to get around the difficulty and strategy of this game. If you have patience and enjoy strategy games, then go for it, but if you lack patience then skip it. No dialogue, no storyline, just tosses you in to figure it out. Cute artwork, but as far as I can tell, no options to turn down the sound? Bummer. Have fun! 5/10

This game is painfully difficult to the point of not even being enjoyable. The sidequests are made just about impossible, you can't keep level ups so there is no way to make them possible, and the main quests are nearly unfinishable without completing all of the sidequests. I bought this game when it was on sale for around $2.00 but I reccomend you don't even waste that much on it.

This is a pretty neat little strategy game. It's definitely worth a couple bucks if it goes on sale.

Hi everyone.
First of all - I want to tell that I am a fan of RPG, especially tactical turn-based RPG.
Questrun - is a tactical RPG with non direct control with your heroes.
All gameplay can be desribed just in some sentences - you choose your team, when you play main quest, or you play with a team, that was given to you in sidequest. All heroes in you team have stats - health, physical/magical attack, attack speed, physical/magical defend, luck, charisma and etc. Also all of them have special skills - heal, fireball, icewall, stun, etc.
The game starts and waves of foes become to attack you team. The power of you attack depends on your stats - better them - more damage you do,better defense - less damage make your foes. And it's all.
All game is built on a simple mechanics, but it works perfect. It's really interesting to find strategy vs your foes.
This game is realy HARD. Sometimes it seemed that there is no way to win in a mission, and you have to start many-many times to win the scenario.
If you - are the old school games and you like tactics and rpg - you like it.
Strongly recommended.

Great to pass the time, quite challenging .
Can fight through a number of encounters no problem until suddenly you start to feel weaker than your foes and eventually they will kill you without much problem. running out of potions/other heals quickly even if used as limited as possible.

Theres a problem that you cant put the game in full screen mode for some reason. (using Asus T100).
I'd really want to see more abilities than just 2 for a character.
I couldn't pass through a single dungeon, just got passed 3 side quests for different character profile. (game is hard and relentless).

Still not quite sure which stat is best to raise everytime, tried raising charma for the Gnome but then I never get him to show up which is disappointing.
Also tried to raise Luck but even at 18 it doesn't seems to help too much.
Guess you better raise the Special for character with healing and attack/speed for everyone else.

Still I'd recommend this for anyone with a computer not built for triple A titles or for someone who likes an unfair challenge and have some time, this game kills time(and you) easy.

This game is really boring. Not much strategy to it, all you do is watch your guys attack enemies. The battles are really uber boring.

There's barely any animations, which makes watching your guys even more boring.

This feels like a flash game, and it's barely worth the time to download. if it was free I would still tell you to avoid it. Steer clear of this piece of crap at all costs.

To sum it up, quoting another reviewer:
" The battle system is shallow, automated and dull, offering little strategy and none of the satisfaction of issuing direct orders to characters each turn. You feel extremely detached from the "action" and i was bored with this game in an astonishingly short amount of time, in fact i will admit that i have not given the game a fair playtime i was that annoyed with what i did play."

"I've never been so disappointed with a purchase, I'd rather play FIFA, and I HATE football/soccer"

Oh boy this is going to be a long one...

There is quite a lot wrong with this game, that simply makes it boring to play.

My largest issue with this game is how it plays. Combat plays automatically while you do the strats (position your party, equip items, use items and skills), and thats the extent of your control aside for a few more minor things. At first that doesn't sound so bad, you might need to do certain things a certain way due to abilities your enemies might have. But this game has dumbed down everything that could potentially be challenging outside of direct combat:

- Each character has a single skill. one. ONE!!!!!!! (I found that each actually has a team buff/debuff, but all of them weren't thought out very well, 2 classes even had the exact same one as well, which is a little bit silly).

- Your characters are selected for you. WHY? Whats worse you need to pay in-game currency for the ability to select your characters? I don't understand what purpose it serves. You could say that it is to ease the player into the game, but that is BS since the game throws a full party of 3 people and those people are randomly selected out of the ones you can use, that doesn't sound like easing in.

- Items stats are boring as f**k. Its a very simple add to damage, and any class can equip any weapon and shield and have it deal more damage than a weapon they would typically hold (I had a mage holding a sword that added 5 to damage. better than his staff).

- A inventory system that I wish never exsisted. When your party picks up an item (which isn't notified very well to the player) it is added to the rather small inventory space, items are queued from the top and once you fill your inventory and find another item, the oldest item in your inventory is removed. What if I wanted to keep a potion? How can I stratergise if you don't give me the means to do so? You can't even remove an item from your inventory to bump a potion back to the top in order to keep. Why can't I do that? Seriously? It just seems a little bit stupid that I have to get rid of a useful potion for a god-awful weapon.

Due to the lack of control the player has and the lack of information about how some of the game's simple game mechanics work during the tutorial, all combined with the simplicity of class and equipment stats and abilities... *sigh*

I can't really say much about this game in its favour other than the visuals are pretty solid and the music isn't too bad, but the game keeps looping the same tracks over and over, so theres that.

This game is bad, really bad. It's a bore to play and recommend none of you pick this up.

Watch my short experience with the game:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VngEx5XqII

I actually liked the concept alot, i love JRPGs with a really deep battle system where a boss fight can last half hour or more.

This game is not that, despite the marketing. The battle system is shallow, automated and dull, offering little strategy and none of the satisfaction of issuing direct orders to characters each turn. You feel extremely detached from the "action" and i was bored with this game in an astonishingly short amount of time, in fact i will admit that i have not given the game a fair playtime i was that annoyed with what i did play.

there is no story.

I also could not find an options menu anywhere in the game, meaning u have no control at all over visual settings or audio levels. Unacceptable, this is Steam, not the AppStore.

I will say that the games presentation is well done although the character and monster designs are a little uninspired.

This game doesn't feel like it has enough in it to keep me interested, yes, it's at a kind of cheap price, but you are pretty much literally watching your characters fight while only occasionally selecting a skill & item. This game has potential, but it doesn't really meet that potential well.

The graphics are cute/cartoony. The music is not terrible, but not great either. Pretty much standard fare. Thing I'd take issue is, theres nothing Ive seen so far for this game to have the tag of "RPG".

Theres no story to speak of (that Ive found yet anyway, granted I've only done 3 missions). Basically, theres a map with different missions you can choose. Choosing a mission gives you a brief description of it. Such as "Protect the princess" or what have you. Then it goes right to the battle.

It looks like your typical JRPG, with your PCs on one side, enemies on the other. Each PC can only attack the enemy in front of it, except for certain items or abilities allow you to attack others. Each PC has a special ability that it can use based on the type of class it is. Attacks are in real time and keep going whether you want them to or not, as soon as a time bar is filled, the attack is made). Items are randomly dropped into a 4 slot thing at the left, when a new one drops you lose the one in the 4th slot. They are anything from weapons and armor, to scrolls that raise your level (NOT as big of a deal as in a real RPG) and potions with various effects.

So enemies come in waves, with up to 3 on screen at different time. The final wave is a boss and there is a couple points in each mission where either you get to choose something good (healing, a good random item) or bad (cant gain exp, slowed down ect)

Its an ok tablet-style casual game, but besides the fact that the classes are traditional D&D classes and you gain EXP which makes your characters better, theres *nothing* about this game that could be considered an RPG.

I'd call it casual, maybe strategy. Based on the fact that the fun lies in switching your characters places to take hits and knowing when to use your special skill and who to put items on. But definitely not an RPG at all.

RPG =/= fantasy setting.
