### 5/5 — Outstanding Might & Magic-style RPG!

*2024-10-28, version 3.71*

I have played and beaten this game with every character and LOVED every minute of it. Thrilled to have it back so I cando it again! This is one of my favorite games for the iPhone. Graphics are wonderfully pixellated - I am old school so I strongly prefer pixels - and characters in story are great. Gameplay, menus, maps - all just perfect to me. Story is engaging. Well done all around!

Update 10/26/24:  Playing it again, just updated it.  It’s awesome.  Loving it again

### 5/5 — Very decent game

*2024-10-22*

Great og feeling rpg, few issues that when I read up on old comments seemed to be more design choices rather than oversights. Strongly suggest if you find yourself without the spell book after clearing a few areas play the elf character and see what location it pops you out in so you know how to get the spell book. Also keep note of where you got the blue shards from so you don’t have to backtrack over the entire world, there isn’t a great deal of information that alludes to why you collect them, I had 2 before I even spoke to anyone that helped indicate what they were for and since I’d found multiple quest items before I even had the quests, I just assumed that would be the case. I didn’t finish the game, I got 3 shards and 1 skull and couldn’t be bothered backtracking any more than I already had to find the others. Still a great game, just make sure you 
take note of thungs!

### 4/5 — Fun

*2023-08-24, version 3.38*

Wish the navigation was more straight through.

### 5/5 — Still have hope

*2022-07-12, version 3.36*

Still have hope for the sequel. 🙏

### 5/5 — Still love this game

*2022-03-08, version 3.36*

In anticipation of QL2,  I dusted this off and played again. Still as awesome as it was the first time.

### 5/5 — Pocket sized goodness

*2021-07-28, version 2.4*

Beautiful graphics, great old school first person rpg gameplay, and amazing for quick sessions throughout the day. I CANNOT wait for the sequel!

### 3/5 — Update broke it

*2020-03-23, version 2.4*

This used to be a great game and probably still is if it works on your device. The latest update broke mine. Now I get as far as the loading screen when I start a new game and there it stays.

### 5/5 — QUESTLORD 2 where are you?

*2020-03-07*

Nice little game. I understood the studio in which it was produced has lost they dumbfounded. Gobsmacked lease. Due to the Landlord ‘s greed. Not sure who owns it now, but if he needs rent money I know a stupendously schtuiupid odd couple on the West side looking for a renter till the end of the year. After that, he’s sol [sunshine’s outa luck].  Nice 4 bedroom, could be five, with some hammering skills. Or even nun chucking skills or painting skills. Pets welcome. No horses, pigs, cows or chickens though.  (Current owner has one old 18 year old Feline and one energetic little Guard Dawg)  one small baby, no rowdy teenage boys welcome. Has fence, cement pond. Burial grounds under fountain in back and on side with marker saying Cat Crossing. Two beds upstairs with elevator (inside) Jack & Jill with en-suite. Can be wired for separate computer and phone expensive, many trees, mainly Texas Hill Country Oak, one ancient old fruit tree (fig). Current owner thinking about either chopping it down or letting it fruit one more season. Either that or making a cute little bikini out of the leaves for her burial suit. Loud headbanging heavy metal music most welcome ( when crotchety old man is outa earsight. ). Old man is very left brained. Read accountant. Always wanted to be an Art Major but couldn’t quite hack the cartooning). But is fairly good at

### 5/5 — It’s back!

*2020-02-09*

Wasn’t expecting to be able to play this again, I remember reading about the sequel to this game ages ago. Hope you’re doing alright. Thanks for bringing it back

### 3/5 — Lazy Dev

*2020-01-15, version 2.4*

You have to quit the game to exit menus. Doesn't work on my iPod running iOS 9.32, but works on my iPad Pro running iOS 9.32. Game is okay at best...

### 5/5 — So happy

*2019-12-31, version 2.4*

So happy that the game is back again i have been waiting for so long to see it back again also i can’t wait for questlord 2

### 5/5 — Great Game Returns

*2019-12-25, version 2.4*

It’s great to see this classic return to iOS finally but the game freezes when defeating the final boss. Easy five-star game otherwise.

### 5/5 — Just lovely

*2019-12-15*

This is simply a really nice time. Old school charm is everywhere in this neat little RPG that distils a whole bunch of nostalgia into a handy phone sized package.

### 5/5 — Loved it so much I kept a spare iPhone!

*2019-12-15, version 2.4*

Back when this game was only 32-bit, I kept it installed on an older iPhone and iPod Touch, refusing to update because I loved this game so much! Best old-school RPG on iOS handsdown!

### 5/5 — A classic

*2019-12-15*

Just a quick heads-up for anyone who still has the 32-bit version of QuestLord installed or offloaded: your old save data will make the 64-bit version of the game freeze on the main menu. You'll need to delete & reinstall the app to make it work again.

Anyway, if you haven't played this before, get it! It's great. This game alone stopped me from installing iOS 11 for ages.

### 1/5 — Blank screen

*2024-09-13*

Bought game. Downloaded. Blank screen. Won’t work. Want refund

**Developer response:** You cant ask for a refund in product reviews. You fill out your refund with Apple. Thats the only way to get a refund. I don't give direct refunds, the App store does that. Maybe try the new version?

### 1/5 — Problem

*2023-01-16, version 3.38*

Looks fun, but will not load.  After I select my character, I get the little intro and then the game freezes on a floppy disk icon and never starts.  It does this on my phone and iPad

### 1/5 — No longer launches.

*2020-06-23, version 2.4*

The game’s broken since the 64-bit update and never actually starts.

### 1/5 — 日本語対応は？

*2015-11-23*

いろんなネットの記事でも日本語対応してるって書いてあったけど、日本語表示にならない。
なぜだ？？

### 1/5 — 日本語に対応してない

*2015-10-16*

英文のみでよくわからない
翻訳済みとのことで購入したのに・・・
非常に残念 、騙された気分です。

### 1/5 — プレイするのが苦痛。

*2014-08-18*

日本語訳が、翻訳ソフトまんまのナニコレ的な言い回し。
ゲーム中のテキストしかり、ヘルプしかり。
あんな珍訳では世界観もへったくれもない。

UIも詰めが甘い。
移動やメニュー画面の操作性も悪い。

半額の100円で購入したけど、これじゃ無料でもいらない。

☆ゼロ。

### 1/5 — Awful

*2013-03-05*

Annoyed that I actually paid money for this!

### 1/5 — Bom! Mas bugado.

*2013-02-23*

Quando comecei a jogar, me deu uma certa nostalgia ao lembrar dos primeiros jogos de dungeon lançados. O problema foi que quando estava avançando no jogo, sempre que morria ele voltava p o começo, mesmo existindo alguns save points pelo caminho. Só volto a jogar qd corrigirem o bug.

### 1/5 — An unfinished, unpolished RPG.

*2013-02-13*

Better options exist. The Quest and Knights of Pen and Paper are immensely superior to this.

Questlord isn't old school in a fun way. It's menu consists of confusing symbols and stats, it takes several steps to accomplish things unnecessarily, and it uses screen space poorly. Swiping to attack is not not fun, only cumbersome. But what really irked me? The graphics are stretched out. The art wasn't even designed to fit the screen right. Everything is stretched and faded and far from crisp.

I'm sure this is a first attempt, but it needs a lot of work. Especially considering what's being charged for admission.

### 2/5 — Saved game not loading

*2020-02-06, version 2.4*

After a few days of playing, my saved game is no longer loading. Please help!

### 5/5 — J’adore ce jeu

*2026-08-06*

Excellent jeu, vraiment :)

### 5/5 — thank you for making this love you eric

*2026-02-27*

this is truly the best mobile game i've ever played i absolutely love the art style and rpg feel. im looking forward for Questlord 2 and excited to play. shout out eric btw he's the goat

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-12-15, version 3.85*

Enjoying playing the game.  Recommend if you are nostalgic for old school games.

### 5/5 — How did I miss this one?

*2025-09-24*

I had been searching for an old school dungeon crawler with quests and a real RPG feel. I found it. It’s a great throwback to a more innocent time in gaming. 5/5.

### 5/5 — 時間泥棒

*2025-09-16*

ウィザードリーより難しくないし、単純にゲームとして面白い‼️

時間に縛られる事は無く、いつでも自分のペースで出来るし、とにかくボリュームが多いいので最高ですw

早く2出してくれ

### 5/5 — 日本語を探してる人へ

*2025-09-10*

ホーム画面左上の、赤い「✕」を押してみて下さい。
言語選択や音量調節ができます。
チェックボックスの「上級の」は何か分かりませんが、、、笑

**Developer response:** レベル4に達したキャラクターは「ゴールドの貯蔵庫」に交換でき、新しいゲーム開始時に取り出せます。追加のゴールドで序盤が楽になります。これは昔セーブデータが壊れた時の救済策として考えたものです（笑）。

プレイありがとうございます！QuestLord 2 を楽しみにしていてください！！

### 5/5 — 左上の❌を押せ

*2025-09-10*

セール中100円で購入、日本語化もされてます。

### 5/5 — Betrayal at Krondor-esque

*2025-05-21*

Production values are modest here, but it’s very, very nice to have a pocket CRPG with a world-spanning jaunt of hand-crafted maps, with old-school line-of-sight grid automapping.
No grand soliloquies or topic-based investigation, but even so, the dialogue is better than you’d expect from a title like this.
Combat is simple, but has a good feel to it on mobile.

### 5/5 — Why have we not gotten more of this?

*2024-12-25, version 3.81*

No seriously, it’s a great game and it scratches that old school DnD itch.  Would love to see more like this

### 5/5 — Want a well put together CLASSIC RPG… Here it is.

*2024-11-21*

Great classic RPG, id say on par with the Quest game but i know this is such a simple mechanic but the swipe turn based combat really stuck with me and its fantastic. 
Ive just got through the first Island after killing the giant and I'm hooked. 
If you want a easy going but challenging RPG then here it is…
