Quick Quest Review
Something's... missing
Review by serith85
I'm alive! What? You're not? Well, we should do something about that. Actually, I think I'll wait 'till the end to say something about it.
So, um, yeah. Hello, world! And helloooo, nurse! This game that I'm reviewing is a neat lil adventure called Quick Quest that I saw and decided that it deserved reviewing. So I played it, as is the best way to go around reviewing a game. And while it was a decent and well-executed game, I was sorely disappointed by it.
Mainly, I was disappointed by the fact that it had no plot line to make fun- er, no plot line to speak of. No really, I was really hoping to pop some really classy jokes about how the character is just a carbon copy of Cloud, or that the music was entirely ripped from Final Fantasys Ten and Seven.
Which is true for far too many of the games on this site.
So yeah. Surprisingly, this game actually failed to deliver the very thing it advertised: a quick quest. Well, I guess it's quick compared to most of the other completed games on this site, which tend to come close to ten to twenty hours of gameplay. The thing is: it said that the game is supposed to take about an hour, but I put nearly three into the game, and I don't think I even came close to finishing. Yeah...
Something else I'd like to say about this game is that it seems... off. Something seems missing. The world that the maker constructed looks like it was designed for an epic epic of epic epicn- erm, a grand quest. The game was practically tailored to having beautiful plot devices and clever characters. I saw a virgin land, just waiting for a brilliant story of romantic grandeur to unfold inside.
But... nothing really happened. It was a series of elaborate fetch-quests with a rather miffed-sounding imp standing in a tunnel without food or rest. I could see that the creator wanted to throw some story elements in somewhere, but he didn't really know how. Like the Suspicious-Looking Man, who was clearly there to ruin things for the characters, but instead served as a random and pointless miniboss encounter.
Also, one thing that really bothered me was how I couldn't see the damage on anything, so I felt like none of the new equipment and spells that my characters got made any difference. It might just be personal preference, but this whole invisible-statistics thing was really making me a little bit stir-crazy.
So, anyways. About the being alive thing I mentioned above: I came back here with the express purpose of reviewing a game, when I realized that there has been little to no activity in the past year. I've seen a bunch of rather half-baked looking demos and WIPs, as well as some franchise knock-offs that I do my best to avoid, and I realized that I should probably do my part to kick this site back into gear. I've been working on my own RPG, if not particularly diligently, and I think this community could really use a Pheonix Down. So get at 'em! Go on, git!
