### 4/5 — DOES NOT RUN ON LATEST IOS

*2024-08-08*

Devs, if you see this- after updating to the latest IOS (17.6 I think), The Quest will crash and fail to open as soon as you click the app.

### 4/5 — Doom and Warcraft in a blender

*2019-05-13*

This is a pretty good game and I LOVE IT!
It has the fps style like Doom and has the medieval elements like Warcraft. Good game!

### 4/5 — Amazing!

### 5/5 — Great

*2018-03-08*

•*I wrote a guide on the forums about a basic tutorial, and I recommend reading it first to get the full effect of the game*•. I play this so much i kind of ignore my other apps... maybe that's not all bad.

### 1/5 — Is good time killer

*2024-09-05*

I do not like the writing in this. Is to far off from that time period. For me to want to keep playing it. Wish it could of been. If you like grinding and character  building. Go for it!

The app just continues to crash every time I try to open it. Will change review after it’s resolved.

### 1/5 — Great game, not sure what happened to the resolution

*2024-08-04*

I LOVE the quest classic and all of its expansions. I’ve had this game for a long time and recently decided to give it another play. 

I was shocked when I opened the app and started a game. The resolution doesn’t even fit the phone screen anymore. Controls are laggy. The graphics are so pixelated. What happened?

Thank you for fixing the crush issue. 10/10 game

### 5/5 — Fantastic game overall.

*2022-07-22*

I purchased this game (what must’ve been 8+ years ago, easily) and I find myself right back to the beginning, downloading it again today. Great game to play offline for flights, travels and whatnot. Love every bit of it!

### 5/5 — Thank you.

*2021-12-02*

This is a fascinating game. The passion present The Quest is tangible, in the base game and throughout its expansions. This game helped me during some seriously hard times. The adventures I had in that land are some I will never forget. Sometimes, when I feel down, I will listen to the soundtrack, and it never fails to get me going. This all may seem cliché, but I mean it. Thank you Redshift, from the bottom of my heart.

### 5/5 — Beautiful full rpg experience

*2021-10-27, version 20.8*

This game is full RPG experience on iPhone. I used to love it as a kid and have recently re-downloaded it to replay as an adult. The graphics are simple yet beautiful and effective. There are tons of items, armor weapons, skills, everything you need to create a unique character to fit your play style. There are countless side quests to find and complete as you work towards completing the main storyline to gain gold, unique items, and experience. There are lots of dlc options as well after you complete the base game. You can even just download the dlc and play them as standalone games as well, although I recommend playing them in order starting from the quest classic. After playing the main game, it left me wanting more and to keep developing my character. The DLC offer just that

### 5/5 — Обожаю

*2021-08-07, version 20.8*

В эту игру возвращаюсь раз в несколько лет, чтобы пройти все квесты заново. В ней есть практически все, что нужно для задрота <3

### 5/5 — Best Bargain

*2021-02-09*

This game has the classic old school-looking graphics of the original game. It includes the original story, the Island of Ice and Fire expansion, and the first two games of the Hero of Lukomorye series. All of that for  $7.99

It’s a really good deal if you ask me.

### 5/5 — Toll!

*2020-12-18*

Unglaublich schönes Rollenspiel! Mit allen Pipapo! Absolute Empfehlung!

### 5/5 — A game that has stayed with me

*2020-04-28*

I purchased this game 11 years ago back in 2009. I was in middle school, and didn’t understand how to play. I was too impatient. Yet I was drawn to the game by its retro style and seemingly infinite possibilities.
Recently I went through my iTunes purchases and saw the game again. For the last few weeks, I have been hooked. I am thanking my past self for making the investment of such a phenomenal game. It is essentially Daggerfall on your phone (minus the randomly generated world). The dialogue is well thought out, interesting lore, and quite frankly could be its own RPG campaign setting. I am playing as a female undead, and it is really cool to see how being the lowest class effects choices and opportunities in game, both good and bad. For example, I couldn’t ‘hang’ with a brothel woman since she didn’t like undead, yet a nutty sorcerer gave me extra gold for a quest since we are both undead. 
I implore anyone interested to buy the game, and to check out the website for the manual and for the forum. Read a beginner’s guide to get your gears turning. Thank you for not only making this game, but for updating it with new DLC/current iOS updates for over a decade.

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2018-10-27*

Honestly have sunk a astonishing amount of time into this game. It’s a really great game and no doubt the best on the IOS store. That said it can be frustrating at times as parts of the game are simply locked to you because you can’t do enough damage or tank enough. This is the main draw back as there isnt really that much one can do to plan around this as the game mechanics are far more focused on just the numbers than player skill. Take for example the quest “find and save princess Zabav”. The monsters here are simply such a high level I can’t fight them especially being that i made a battle made and all my oh s%!t buttons don’t work as they are magic immune. 

Aside from that one problem it truest is a great game and easily beats any non triple A game you will ever play.

PS please fix the unlock and disarm spells. They are worthless and don’t work even if you hella spec into env magic
