Nice take on the Quest for Glory series with some extra RPG elements. If you like old Sierra games then I can't recommend this highly enough.

An excellent homage to the Quest for Glory games. Good puzzles, interesting characters, and a fun lighthearted take on Norse mythology. Frankly, I want to see more games like this! Gimmee!

This game is great. It totally reminds me of the VGA remake of Quest For Glory 1, down to the 3 character classes. Also it's FREE. The voice acting isn't bad at all. If you grew up on Sierra games with your sweet 640KB of RAM courtesy of MS-DOS, you'll be right at home. Luckily, QEMM isn't required.

An insanely accurate and fun homage to the age of DOS adventure games. Start with a ton of Quest for Glory, tenderize with a healthy dose of King's Quest, sprinkle a few flakes of rubbing two unlikely items together (in the fashion of Monkey Island) and you end up with a game I would dare to call both neat and also sharp.

This free game is in fact a fully realised point'n'click adventure which I think rivals even the best commercial entries in the genre. It is a wondrous passion project and beautiful homage to Sierra's classic Quest for Glory series. The production values are what you'd expect from a professional release in every conceivable way. Players are treated to glorious 2D art, fully voiced charcaters with commendable performances, beautifully orchestrated score and superb writing, world building and overall game design. And it's what I'd call a 'full-length' adventure. So many point'n'clicks nowadays (especially free ones) are quite short, but Heroine's Quest took me 25 hours which provides ample opportunity to feel deeply immersed in its world. And of course there's 2 more character classes should I decide to play through again sometime down the track. I'm a point'n'click enthusiast from way back and the QfG series, particularly 1 & 4, was my very favourite. Heroine's Quest crafts an original story drawing on Norse mythology and takes all its design cues from the very best of QfG1 & 4, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the result. I dare to say that it's just as good as both of these classic games of the genre.
