Honestly, a pretty basic simple picross game trying to mix with an RPG story. But realistically, it's just some picross puzzles you have to do in a specific order with some minor 'challenge' ones you can optionally do. The story is. Practically nonexistent. It's very easy to ignore every aspect of it, and it is immensely generic 'oh no baddies stole our stuff we gotta save it and beat them up'. It's mostly done to notate 'boss' puzzles which aren't. Especially more challenging. The biggest twist to this game vs regular picross games is the timer aspect. If you take too long, enemies can 'hit' you. Lose all your health, you lose. I was nervous for this, because I like to take my time on these puzzles but... I never once lost a round on this game until after I beat it and intentionally lost for the achievement. It's very simple and if you're worried, there's potion items you can use to freeze the enemies for time or reveal pieces to help you go faster. The achievements were very simple. Most done by story progression or just playing the game - use all the items, get more money, buy certain things. The only ones I really went out of my way for were getting 0 money, because you have to think about what you buy to hit exactly 0, and losing 10 times because, as I said, I did not naturally in the game. Overall, not bad, especially for the sale price I got it at (79 cents). Don't think I'd get it full price, but, definitely not bad!

As an active fan of nonogram games, this one is fine. There's better options out there, but it's in no way bad. I like that all the art gets animated once the puzzles are completed, and the health systems and power ups are pretty unique. But it's pretty easy once you get the hang of the 20x20s. After I beat the game, I was hoping to unlock a mega-picross type of "hard mode", but there was no post-game. In fact, I looked through the achievements after beating the game, and noticed there was one for dying 10 times. I had only died once during my whole playthrough, so i just went into the final boss and guessed wrong a bunch on purpose to 100% the game, so yeah, it's not very difficult. It's fine though, I would still recommend it, especially for beginners. Missing a few QOL things I would like the see though, namely auto-filling the rest of the row with Xs after guessing all the correct filled squares. But again, I still had fun with it :)

If you're getting into nonogram puzzles or like simple ones (5x5-20x20), get this game. If that's too simple for you, don't, you'll be bored since even with time limits, it's not hard. The game has pretty cute art, the fighting mechanic on top of solving is a little something to keep you on the edge/distracted (offset by the beneficial items)

PictoQuest is a nonogram puzzle game ranging from 5x5 puzzles all the way to 20x20 puzzles. The UI is really clean and I love the art style of the whole game, with the addition of the shop. Some of the puzzles were time-based which could be quite challenging. Definitely recommended!

It really deserves a neutral rating. If you're into this stuff it can be fun but I'd say Hatsune Miku Logic Paint S was better in about every way. The RPG elements seem like an interesting hook but can wear out their welcome when you're trying to quickly solve a 20x20 puzzle against 3 enemies. There are powerups, but if you're like me you want to hoard them and solve the puzzle yourself. Music/presentation are good, puzzles aren't bad, for $8 you could do a lot worse, but it really really deserves a neutral rating.
