This expansion has been designed for experienced players. For new players, we highly recommend The Quest first. The Quest Classic - Lost Archipelagos is an expansion to The Quest Classic, a beautifully hand-drawn, immersive and enchanting world full of exciting challenges. After enabling the expansion, you can explore new areas and quests. However, if you don't have The Quest Classic, you can also play the expansion as a standalone game. The story: You have just returned from your long and weary quests, in need of a vacation. But as fear spreads through the land, Mersant sends for the best: you, to solve the mysterious happenings. Your enemy, however, has grown stronger during your absence. He has allied with a powerful magician, who is hell bent on destroying you. As an early fog sets in on your boat, your entire world changes; the waves grow higher and higher, until the whole boat is tossed upon a foreign shore. You are the sole survivor. The land is a savage place, a war always in the works, as the two enemy clans battle it out for control of the islands. You must defeat the enemy wizard, fight savage Lyches, defeat a powerful Phoenix Queen and rescue a warrior from the famed Flying Army. But brute force will not get you very far. In strange lands, strange things happen. And this is the strangest land of them all. To access the new areas (not applicable if you are playing the expansion standalone), go to Mithria harbor and talk to captain Hanty, then select "Lost Archipelagos" as your travel destination. It is recommended to reach at least level 45 before trying to take on the challenges of this new expansion. The Quest Classic - Lost Archipelagos has been developed by CivilStriker and was adapted to iPhone by Redshift.

Welcome to the old school RPG world of Saga RPG II: Evolution. Story ------ You have rid the lands of the evil Dragon King in your victorious epic battle and the people are thankful. However, the Skeleton King is now gaining power and the land is again being threatened. You are once again being called to arms to uphold peace as you journey through the lands. May your sword stay ever sharp. What to expect -------------- This game is built to be lightweight. The download is tiny, and the game processing is minimal. To accomplish this, the game itself is pretty simple. This is a second version, which is larger than the first and will grow as expansions are released, but the goal of remaining lightweight will remain. If you like the game, please show your support by providing a positive rating/feedback. Thank you for playing!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Saga RPG II at 4.7 against The Quest Classic's 4.1.

The Quest Classic's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
