An expansion by Zarista Games. The Quest - Asteroids is an expansion to The Quest, a beautifully hand-drawn open world role playing game with old school grid-based movement and turn based combat. After enabling the expansion, you can explore new areas and adventures. However, if you don't have The Quest, you can also play the expansion as a standalone game. Your ship has run off course. You find yourself sucked into a black hole that warps you far away. The world you know so well is gone. It's as though there were a huge explosion. All around you asteroids appear on fire. You feel great pain and pass out. You wake up in a strange room with an unearthly creature looking down on you. You sense the beginning of a great adventure but will you ever be able to get home? To access the new areas (not applicable if you are playing the expansion standalone), go to Matras harbor and talk to captain Verra, then select "Asteroids I" as your travel destination. It's recommended you reach at least level 4 before taking on the challenges posed by this expansion.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: The Quest at 5.0 against QuestLord's 4.6. The Quest also leads on price ($2.99 vs $5.99) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 8 months). QuestLord's advantage is ratings volume (167 vs 4) and chart position (#182 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
