### 4/5 — Beer

*2025-01-20*

You can make beer

### 4/5 — 日本語版待望！

*2020-02-24*

このクラシックな雰囲気が最高です！
でも英語なので何をすれば良いかが分からず始めてすぐに諦めてしまいました
日本語版を首を長くして待ってます！

### 4/5 — 面白い

*2016-08-25*

内容はかなり面白いですが英語を読めないとできないかもしれません

### 3/5 — Decent

*2014-09-30*

The game lacks content and combat is quite boring spamming the same two attacks. The levaling system also needs some work kill 300 plus enemys and not even 1/100 of a level. The only entertaining part of this game is the dialog were this a text based game it would be great but as it is, not that bad.

### 5/5 — Très bon

*2014-06-05*

Bon jeu, malgré des graphismes un peu moche, se jeu reste très bon.

### 5/5 — Amazing.

*2014-01-05*

I love this game. I can't believe it has no reviews. It feels like a classic, open world RPG. Make sure not to run into Orcs. They will kill you easily. Good job.

### 5/5 — The Best RPG On IOS👌

*2013-12-09*

This game is truly amazing. It is the closest to the elder scrolls games and this is my favorite RPG on IOS. It is also related to Undercroft and The Quest Lord. I truly recommend this series to people who love first person RPGs. And I recommend buying the other quest games in the series. You can also swipe to move on the screen while in game. Or you can change it in settings. Bravo Chillingo! 😄

### 5/5 — ....spannend,grandios,geil !!!!!

Kräuter sammeln,Tränke brauen,Erkunden,Kämpfen ..
... Ich werde mir sofort die Quest-Gold-App holen u hane dann jahrelang Spielspaß ... schätze ich ?!  ; )

### 3/5 — I loved the original...

*2013-05-07*

But in two separate playthroughs now, I have become stuck in the elves palace. I break through the first door, kill all the elf guards, and then fail to lock pick the second door despite having a "very good" chance. I then exit, buy new lock picks (having worn out two master ones), then re-enter, fail to pick the door again, and then can't get back out the first door any way, attacking or tapping. Quite annoying

### 5/5 — Cool games

*2013-04-21, version 16.6*

I like this game, but I only have the expansion, so I can't do much.

### 4/5 — Controls:(

*2013-04-07, version 16.6*

I really really like this game!
But the controls are not good.
Would be perfect game you had a normal joystick or something:(

### 4/5 — Epic

*2013-02-25*

This game is much better than "the quest lite" as in this game you actually have an idea what you are doing it has a good story and is interesting to play. The graphics are ok and it is cool that they are hand drawn,the only problem is the controls, they are too cumbersome. I also found that the taking turns in combat doesn't apply to animals

### 4/5 — Amazing

*2013-01-24*

Pretty good as a standalone game with a great feel like the game elder scrolls

### 1/5 — Don’t do it

*2019-01-04*

Game seems like an sequel to the early Elder Scrolls but not in a nostalgic way like a copy way with the controls nowhere near suitable for mobile gameplay.

### 1/5 — The quest lite

*2013-05-30, version 16.6*

The quest lite is no where to be found. So I can't play this game. I don't want to waste money on a game without having any experience with, without doing the lite version. Again, I cannot find quest lite.

### 1/5 — Worst game

*2013-03-06*

This game is the worst. I don't know how to level up another way instead of fighting those elves. It took me so long to defeat a wolf but then the elves came. I try to use magic but it keep missing. Same with the weapons.
Undercroft is way better. If they make the sequel of this game and make it look like the elder scrolls instead of this game, I'll give that game 5 stars.

### 1/5 — Not as good as other expansions

*2011-08-25*

It is to hard when you fight a enemy your weapon breaks and you have to use another one and so I have to carry around 50 weapons just for a fight ! and my armour breaks just wen I get hit  once and I can't equip armour in the middle of a fight and most enemies are over level 200

### 1/5 — 日本語にして下さい。

*2011-03-27*

和訳ツール使うの面倒くさくなってきた、だから日本語にして下さい。

無理だろうけど。

### 2/5 — Okay

*2019-05-22*

So I just started playing and I’m confused cause the quests don’t tell you where to go or what to do besides something like kill spirit of dead or some stuff like that

### 2/5 — Not good at all

*2015-05-10*

This game would be really good if I knew what to do, I enjoyed it but where do I go? Plz but a quest marker down or something so I know what to do,

### 2/5 — PLEASEEEE

*2014-01-14, version 16.6*

PLEASE make this and the quest gold and the quest regular on ipad I love this game but I reallllllyyy want it on ipad

### 2/5 — Tutoraial?

*2013-07-01*

Tutorial please.

### 2/5 — -

*2010-10-19*

Das spiel ist eigentlich nicht schlecht, ein gutes RPG für iPod/iPhone/iPad-
aber es ist leider auf english und deswegen finde ich es zu schwer weil man z.B. die Hinweise etc. die einem die personen geben nicht so gut verstehen kann.

### 5/5 — Possibly THE Best Classic RPG on mobile

*2019-08-20*

Having owned this game for years, I’m impressed with how expansive it’s become, and how after so many years it doesn’t get boring—frustrating, most definitely, but not boring.

Don’t expect the developers to spoonfeed you clues to complete quests, although they are very helpful on their forums. You can bury yourself in a pile of quests, but if you do, better break out a pad of paper and a pen to jot down where you were, who you talked with, what expansion you were playing, and any clues you got to work through each quest. I personally feel this adds an old school feel to it, because with old games you sometimes had to make your own note book.

Love it! Keep up the good work, Devs!

### 5/5 — Gagahahahe

*2019-03-05*

Great game is fun

### 5/5 — Awesome iPhone dungeoncrawler!

*2018-05-08*

By far my fave classic-style dungeon crawler. A throwback to Daggerfall, Eye of The Beholder and Dungeon Master. Loads to explore!

### 5/5 — Good RPG

*2017-01-07, version 18.7*

Great game, I love it

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2016-04-27*

It's a amazing game and a good installment to my favorite iOS games and its nice to have a free one to try and an amazing expansion pack I have one drawback though it's really hard I failed the first battle so many times with first weapon I got

### 5/5 — A hidden masterpiece

*2016-02-25*

I have just started and I am disappointed with how little people know this game it is a great role playing game (probably the best because the App Store is filled with terrible RPGS let alone games) I love the old graphics the plot so far the combat feels fresh although it's not it's just perfectly put together. BEST GAME ON APP STORE AUSTRAILIA which brings me to my score of 5 out of 5 legendary!

### 5/5 — Daggerfall like :)

*2016-02-10*

Vrai rpg à l'ancienne...

### 5/5 — Hammer

*2015-07-30*

Ein tolles game unbedingt holen !!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Great Rpg

*2014-12-27*

Closest thing to the Elderscrolls arena game. It's fun but really hard. I wouldn't recommend it to people who have never played the quest before.

Me personally have never played the actual quest game but I have played the lite version and got a little experience with the game. This game runs really smooth on my Itouch 4g.

If you have had experience with the quest, doesn't matter if you played the full quest game or lite it's still challenging. And it's hard to find where to go at the beginning do I will tell you.
1: Go to the mayor and tell him that you're ship crashed.
2: after you talk he should tell you to go to the magic shop owner. 
3: go there and she should tell you to go back to the mayors house so you go there and he will give you a key to the old tower. You go there and keep going untill you find a locked door. You use the key to unlock it and bam you should see a portal.

### 5/5 — Just like daggerfall

*2014-08-04, version 16.6*

Great game I'm so glad found it the day I found it I could not get daggerfall to work
