Expected something similar to Grimrock, but this is not what I was looking for. Sad. ### 4/5 — Good Game *2025-03-07* Please i- Cloud Save and Enemies that respawn. Y ### 4/5 — Sound? *2025-01-04, version 20.0.4* The sound is not working ### 4/5 — External controller *2024-12-28, version 20.0.4* It would be great if the game can use an external keyboard device or game pad. ### 4/5 — Bueno *2024-08-14, version 20.0.4* Seria fenomenal una traducción al castellano tendría Lis 5 estrellas ### 3/5 — The Quest *2023-02-09* I absolutely adore this game, and have for many years. but I can’t in good conscience give it more than three stars as it consistently crashes on my iPhone 12. ### 5/5 — Perfect old school RPG game *2022-06-29* I have played this for about a week and I am totally pleased with the text and decisions that sway the way the game progresses. Get this game and you will be pleased. ### 5/5 — New ip *2022-06-06* I really love this game its a great rpg and i was thinking if u are considering developing a new ip this engine or atleast format could translate extremely well into a classic fallout like rpg ### 5/5 — BEST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED *2022-05-11, version 18.0.1* Amazing please keep making these games ### 5/5 — Impresionante RPG *2022-04-04, version 18.0* Un juego como los de la vieja escuela que en cierto modo recuerda un poco a los antiguos The Elder Scrolls. Mucha exploración y una dificultad bastante ajustada. ### 5/5 — Great rpg *2022-02-23, version 17.0* Well worth the money and plenty of fun exploring the world ### 5/5 — Please support iCloud and Analogy for control *2021-12-20, version 17.0* I love the game! And if you add iCloud and analog will make this game perfect! ### 5/5 — An Absolute Classic *2021-11-13* I’ve played through the original and its expansions dozens of times, and, somehow, this game’s charm has never faded. Not to mention, the developers just seem like great people! Not sure if they still are, but in the past, they were quite active on forums, and would go out of their way to help anyone out. A wonderful game made by wonderful people! ### 2/5 — En español *2021-07-12, version 17.0* LENGUAJE ESPAÑOL ### 4/5 — Schönes RPG *2021-02-02* The Quest ist ein wirklich schönes und rundes Rollenspiel. Es macht Spaß, verzeiht Fehler und bietet eine große, offene Spielwelt.Alles in allem eine volle Empfehlung! Einzig ein paar Quests haben logische Lücken (wie soll ich denn drauf kommen, dass der Mörser im H******** ist???). Ein kleiner Wunsch an den Entwickler: es sollte dringend eine Funktion eingefügt werden, die den verkauf von Gegenständen (zum Beispiel Pflanzen) im Bündel ermöglicht! ### 3/5 — I like this game *2021-02-01, version 16.0.1* I want to love it. But the writing and storytelling are so bad. Like a Ten year old could write and tell a better story. HOWEVER the world Building is okay, the gameplay is pretty great for the genre. Very classic feel. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hard Pass - Boring *2024-11-23, version 20.0.4* Very boring, slow jaggy movement. Graphics are pretty good, but the gameplay stinks. ### 1/5 — Passez votre chemin *2023-01-16* Passe encore la jouabilité d’un autre temps. Passe aussi l’absence de version française. Mais le fait que le jeu ne soit toujours pas adapté aux écrans des « nouveaux » iPhone ( depuis le XR) est lamentable. Je me fait rembourser et vous déconseille totalement ce jeu. ### 1/5 — Terrible Game *2022-10-22, version 18.0.2* This game is so unbalanced it’s unplayable. People really do put up with absolute garbage huh? ### 1/5 — Does not support iPhone X resolution, very disappointed *2020-10-28, version 16.0* The game is fine but to me unplayable as it does not support iPhone X and beyond resolution so there are those horrible black bars which are especially annoying when playing on portrait mode. I don’t think this issue is going to be ever solved so I can’t recommend The Quest on the iPhone which is a shame ### 1/5 — needs iphone x and beyond update *2020-02-10, version 13.0.2* new screen shape yall ### 1/5 — No sound *2018-09-03, version 9.0.2* Playing on an iPad and there is not sound??! ### 1/5 — I really want to like it *2018-08-14* But the game just doesn’t let me. The quests are mostly stupid and questionable (why the heck should I act like this?) and contain constant running from A to B (and back to A). The leveling system reminds of Might & Magic but that’s also a problem: there are no respawns (at least not up to level 7) and that means no grind. Which leads to almost no choice where to go next. If you don’t follow the questline you simply encounter enemies that are too strong. And this means that the whole leveling system isn’t necessary. You are effectively put on rails. Does this change further in the game...? ### 1/5 — Game cheats *2018-02-11, version 6.0.5* Card games are rigged and computer cheats. ### 1/5 — Avoid *2017-09-06, version 5.0.2* Very jagged and boring. Save your money and play something else. ### 1/5 — Il peggior gioco (edit) in stile rpg retro *2017-04-01, version 2.0.8* Dopo averlo giocato per ore scrivo quanto segue : Trama inesistente e poco chiara. Grafica ridicola ( ok è retro ma é fatta male ) Non esistono gli obiettivi delle missioni sulla mappa. La mappa credo sia la peggiore di tutti gli rpg della storia. Peccato poteva essere un valido rpg retro. Questo the Quest viene superato miliardi di volte da Undercroft. Mi spiego, sono molto amareggiato, poiché questo rpg poteva diventare un capolavoro retro, le potenzialità ci sono ma sviluppate male, manca tutto, non si capisce cosa si deve fare, le animazioni sono troppo statiche, così come la grafica, capisco la semplicità ma passare attraverso gli alberi e le lapidi ( e altro ) è ridicolo. La mappa si crea poco a poco ma male, confusionale, poco chiara e non sono segnati gli obiettivi. Peccato. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Controller support *2026-02-28, version 20.0.4* Great game would love controller support tho ### 5/5 — Love this game series *2025-04-26* I absolutley love this game series I’m finally gonna get to play it on pc and was wondering if your gonna add asteriods and thors hammer to the pc version in the future? ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-03-13, version 20.0.4* Such a classic, not for everyone but worth the time ### 5/5 — Still relevant after so many years *2025-03-09* The Quest has had a place on every device I’ve owned for years. While it could be argued that the game and gameplay are dated, that is kind of the point. The fact that there is no firm way to achieve victory is a huge selling point. I’ve played through one quest at a time, collecting multiple quests and grinding away and I’ve also played as if the game is just a sandbox. The experience is different every time and while there is some overlap in operations, it still feels like a new game every single time and playing new paths is always rewarding. ### 5/5 — Should be more popular *2024-07-27* How this isn’t top rpg on the store is crazy. You’ll like if you grew up on games like ultima/morrowind. The game often lets you figure things out and doesn’t hold your hand, which judging from others reviews people don’t like using their own head, they like being shown and told where to go and what to do 24/7. Over all pick up base game and fire and ice expansion, you’ll have more than enough playtime. If you find yourself itching for more, there are many more expansion packs. Cheers. ### 5/5 — Please add cloud cross save *2024-06-19, version 20.0.3* Love this game guys, but please allow cross save ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-05-10, version 20.0.3* If you’re a fan of old school rpgs, you’ll love this game. ### 5/5 — Great game *2022-11-06* Just was wondering if in this version there are all the DLC’s ### 5/5 — A Rare Find! *2022-08-03* Just purchased The Quest: Deluxe pack. I can’t believe my luck! After Celsius Heroes left the App Store, I was certain I’d never find another game like it! So, it’s very refreshing to find so many dungeon crawlers live right here in Redshift land! Thank you so much! 👍 ### 5/5 — First review, had to leave one for this game *2022-07-16* So much fun, spent two weeks without reception/wifi and this game provided plenty of content and story to work through while I was out there. Tons of replayability, really enjoy the aspect that spells are still useful even in a rogue build. Worth the money and then some. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
