Those who played the first game will immediately notice the vastly expanded scope. Characters now level up, improving their stats and abilities over time. Magic users unlock additional spell slots as well, giving you access to new builds. Spells, like weapons and armor are purchased with gold earned by completing dungeons. More advanced gear requires higher level characters. All pretty standard fare but implemented well enough. The dungeon crawling is heavily inspired by pen and paper role playing games. Die rolls determine everything(except, thankfully, for movement, the best gameplay change over the first game). You explore a grid based dungeon, fighting enemies, navigating traps, and collecting loot. The game’s major flaw is that the combat is unbalanced. Enemies and characters tend to have way more defense than attack power. This leads to situations where I spend 15 minutes fighting a single enemy, as neither of us can damage the other. This isn’t an issue of difficulty, mind you. It’s an issue of poor balance. My other complaints are about the story and visuals. The story is simple, which is fine, but it is poorly translated (or written by a non-native English speaker) and often descends into gibberish. The visuals, meanwhile are also simplistic. Their main issue is that the developers use a white overlay to indicate your movement points, while also using white and tan floors. It can sometimes make the experience hard to parse, which can be especially damaging on the occasional missions with a turn limit. Overall I consider this to be an improvement over the first game but still not perfect. ### 5/5 — Dungeon Quest *2020-05-03, version 2.7.2* Ottimo ### 5/5 — Super divertido *2020-03-05, version 2.7.2* Todos los juegos desarrollados de Arcane Quest son geniales, hagan más que soy fan ### 5/5 — Bellissimo *2019-10-17, version 2.7.2* Un gioco vintage sviluppato benissimo sotto tutti i punti di vista. Non posso che dare 5 stelle. Solo due appunti (per voler essere fiscali) che, se aggiunti, lo rendono inarrivabile per la tipologia di gioco pensata: 1) dare la possibilità di di giocare online insieme ad altri giocatori ( come se ci si sedesse intorno ad un tavolo per giocare); 2) gli incantesimi li io li avrei dati solo ad alcuni personaggi (non ce li vedo proprio guerriero, nano ed assassino pratici di arti magiche). Com’è ora si appiattiscono le capacità dei vari personaggi. Per il resto tutto PERFETTO :-) ### 5/5 — Recaptures the spirit *2019-09-19, version 2.7.2* Hero quest reborn! Delivers everything promised. Great game for fans of the original, or those looking for a lite table top rpg. Play is better once the tutorial is over, don’t give up on it till you’ve finished the first real mission. Options to buy other characters and gold, but not really necessary to enjoy the game, unlike other pay to play games. Inventory is a little wonky at first but you will get used to it. No hoarding in this game. Use your items or stand next to another character to pass them. Movement threw me at first until I started clicking on the characters to select them to move out of turn. If you want everyone in the same place just keep ending your turn and moving one guy. Can’t say enough about this game. Try it! ### 5/5 — Great fun! *2019-06-01, version 2.7.2* Loving this game. Just difficult enough to make you careful with your heroes and plenty of gameplay and upgrade options. Well worth playing! ### 5/5 — Jogo espetacular! *2019-05-15, version 2.7.2* Demais, voltar as epicas do rpg de tabuleiro de 20 anos atras é impagável, a única crítica é que a tradução do idioma em português é muito ruim, seria legal se resolvesse isso, enquanto isso prefiro jogar em inglês mesmo! Abraços ### 5/5 — Increible *2019-05-15, version 2.7.2* Excelente ### 5/5 — Excelente juego *2019-04-27, version 2.7.2* Excelente juego de calabozos y dragones. Lo recomiendo ### 5/5 — Sir *2019-04-12, version 2.7.2* Great fun good job ### 5/5 — Great game *2019-01-23, version 2.7.2* I’m a fan of D&D and this really is an amazing game that is reminiscent of it. I would recommend to players of D&D who are looking for a similar game with easy to understand mechanics or people just looking for a great game overall. Truly a great game :) ### 5/5 — An RPG board game that’s just like table top! *2019-01-13, version 2.7.2* After 24 hours of playing I’ve still plenty of quests to do and I’m really enjoying the gameplay. I’ve yet to try the player made quests but hopefully they will be just as good as the main game! Well worth a look if your a fan of dungeon crawler board games. ### 4/5 — Plutôt sympa *2019-01-08, version 2.7.2* Rappelle Hero Quest pour ceux qui connaisse. Un ptit jeu de plateau sympa. Bien sûr on perd le charme de ne jouer que contre une IA ### 5/5 — Awesome *2019-01-03, version 2.7.2* What a great game just like heroquest but in an app version awesome job. ### 4/5 — A couple tweaks would be nice. *2018-08-30, version 2.7.2* I’m having a lot of fun with the game, but I’d like to see an option to have the party move together (following the 1st character). More so, I’d like to see the option to instantly exit the level once all monsters are killed and all loot is found. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ridicolo *2021-03-15, version 2.7.2* Il primo boss che ti trovi contro è praticamente imbattibile. I 2 personaggi che hai sono al livello 1 senza equip. Non trovi uno straccio di arma neanche se le compri con soldi veri tra un po’. Non riesci a expare per aumentare il livello anche se ripulisci tutti i dungeon. Perdi oggetti perché l’inventario è pieno, quando potrebbero lasciare lì gli oggetti o farti decidere se scartare qualche cosa. Ritengo questo gioco una offesa per tutti i gdr, mediocre è molto poco divertente. Prego che l’app store proceda a cancellarlo prima possibile ### 1/5 — Much worse than the original *2018-09-11, version 2.7.2* They took a step back with this release. Fixed movement, less carrying capacity, items are permanently lost if the searching character has a full inventory. The last one there is just ridiculous. I’m about to play the third iteration and hopefully whatever brain trust fumbled his or her way through the rules for this version was fired or quit before the third was created. ### 1/5 — Worse than the original! *2018-07-11, version 2.7.2* The first game was really good, but not quite great. I had hoped this one would be what I was looking for. Nope! Every change was for the worse! Graphics went from smooth 3D to cartoony 2D. User interface is clumsier and buggy. Heroes are downgraded. Battles all have pop-ups that you can no longer disable. Total failure. Going to try part 3 next, but part 1 is clearly superior to this crap. ### 1/5 — Game crashes at start, then asks me to review it on relaunch *2015-10-28, version 2.7.1* I think that this may not be the best ever game because it crashed when I turned the music off, before ever diving into playing. On relaunching, the game instantly asks me to give a review of it. ### 1/5 — Intelligenztrank gibt die Zauber benutzt neu *2015-08-17, version 2.6.0* Die durchschnittliche Lesbarkeit der enthaltenen Texte entspricht in etwa dem in der Überschrift genannten Beispiel. Die Qualität des Grafikdesign erhöht die Gefahr an Augenkrebs zu erkranken. ### 1/5 — Fail with update *2014-12-14, version 2.1.0* Wrong places for menü, buttons, not reachable map locations, seems everything gone wrong! ### 1/5 — Doesnt play *2014-12-14, version 2.1.0* I liked the idea of this game, and began moving my characters around, but I couldnt make them attack the enemies. Needs a better system. ### 1/5 — Pathetic Developers & Fake Reviews *2014-11-27, version 2.0.1* But this is not a pandered and planted review. This is a very real one and so, Here I go. Now it's common understanding that F2P's only exist bcz of Donations, Adverts &/or IAP's. Well, for the most part; as we do ever so often find ourself with a product of a pure love and devotion crafted by a sole (or small group of) person(s). I leave that @ just that before I become to ambiguous to retain my relevancy to this particular game's review. With all this in mind I have to say that I did not even begin to allow myself to play this game. But I did start an attempt to. Let me explain, and in a dry fashion, and hopefully the Devs will realize the idiocy they portrayed. Tapped the games Icon. Game boots up. Get to a 3-Slotted Saved Game screen. Noticed something strange. The 1st slot already has a Saved Game??? I actually found this almost, yet quite alarming. Never ever have experienced that with a iOS game before. But that's not the motivator for writing this review at all in fact. I just deleted it and started a game up in Slot 2. Then the next screen popped up. I now noticed that the Advert that was seemingly insignificantly docked vertically on the left side of the landscaped screen was actually COVERING OVER THE ACTUAL GAMEPLAY & thus THERE WAS NO WAY TO READ ANYTHING UNDER IT. Look I just woke up and so forgive me if my words don't hold quite the "potency" that I would like them to. But when a Dev makes a decision like this, to priorities the Sponsor over THEIR VERY OWN PRODUCT... right? That's not a bad business decision, it's a PATHETIC ONE. Nuff said. ### 2/5 — Le goût de Hero Quest sans la profondeur *2018-08-26, version 2.7.2* Le gameplay est très semblable et ravira les nostalgiques. Cependant le jeu est extrêmement répétitif. Ici, pas de quêtes On entre dans le donjon, on tue tout le monde, on désamorce les pièges et on récolte des trésors. On fait 1 niveau on les à tous fait. Je passe l’achat in-app payer mais jamais obtenu. Merci Apple service au passage. Amusant mais sans plus. Donner nous du vrai Hero Quest ! ### 2/5 — Grausame Übersetzung *2016-05-22, version 2.7.2* Das Spiel ist eigentlich nicht schlecht, aber die Übersetzung ist grauenhaft! Leider gibt es auch ab dem 6. Level keine neue Ausrüstung oder Waffen, was das Spiel dann leider schnell langweilig werden lässt... Wenn man aber daran arbeiten würde, wäre es ein Topspiel! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Reminds me of a board game 😁 *2026-06-13, version 2.7.2* This game is great takes me back to when I was a kids playing HeroQuest with my friends. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Nice game *2024-05-16, version 2.7.2* Fun to play ### 5/5 — Very good game *2023-01-08, version 2.7.2* Like so much ### 5/5 — A great dungeon crawler! *2022-08-16, version 2.7.2* This is a very faithful reproduction of the Heroquest-style board game, and an excellent alternative if you find the Warhammer Quest app a tad overpriced. The gameplay is great, and you get a lot of quests and options. You can unlock to whole game for less than £2 - very good value. ### 5/5 — Best Casual D&D like game out there. *2022-03-13, version 2.7.2* This is a fun and entertaining game well worth the two bucks to get the full version being that it cheaper than a cup of coffee to get full access. Quick learning curve as well and each adventure in the typically 3-4 part dungeons takes only about 10-15 minutes so it’s a fun time killer on a work break or anytime you have a few minutes to spare. Still you can save your progress at any point during the dungeon so if you don’t have to worry about finishing up all at once. Fun to watch your characters progress and become more powerful as you go, earning gold to buy better gear. So if you like the old style pen and paper type rpg’s this is a great one to get. ### 5/5 — Arcane quest 2 *2022-01-23, version 2.7.2* It’s like having hero quest in your pocket ### 5/5 — Stupendo *2021-01-25, version 2.7.2* Già solo il fatto che un gioco del genere sia praticamente gratuito si merita 5 stelle! Ma sopratutto le meccaniche di gioco ricordano molto descent, e anche il fatto che non debba per forza collegarsi ad internet è un’altro punto a favore. Non vedo l’ora di finirlo e vedere com’è il terzo capitolo della saga! Continuate a sfornare titoloni così vi prego, ne abbiamo bisogno 🤩 ### 5/5 — Wonderful. *2020-11-18, version 2.7.2* First boss is hard as heck, but as soon as your lucky enough to get past it’s a great game from then on. So much after...! ### 5/5 — Super fun *2020-11-09, version 2.7.2* Retro gaming at it’s best. I enjoy this game a lot, it reminds me of a “Hero q___” board game I played as a kid. ### 5/5 — Nice game *2020-09-12, version 2.7.2* I like the concept, bit retro but easy play and does what I want it to. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
