Well worth playing. It's fun, and has a heartfelt story. The game speed is a bit slow and the "speed up" option is a bit too fast, I do wish there was an inbetween, but beat this game and it has New Game+ allows you to keep your items, definitely has replay value.

This is easily one of the best card battlers I've ever played. I really like the characters and the strategy involved with each battle. It's very challenging without being too frustrating. I would even go as far as to say this game is better than Slay the Spire because it not only looks better, but it's also not rogue like and is party based instead. Highly recomended!

What is this game? "Steamworld Quest" is an RPG card battler with a heavy emphasis on story. Price/replay value Horrible - Bad - Decent - Good - Amazing Achievement hunting These achievements heavily vary in difficulty and rng requirements. Some require you to do basic grinds, e.g. 100k damage of a specific element, whilst others require you to do 20k dmg in a single hit. - Thing is that because of the way hands draw you're heavily required to rely on rng for the 20k dmg, meaning you'll have to try countless times to get that one. Pros/cons Pros [*]Great music and visuals [*]Decent story [*]A lot of deck variety Cons [*]Late game feels half baked (grinding xp, gold, materials... Midas cup...) [*]Final few bosses go from incredibly unfair to way too easy [*]Forced to skip through all dialogue upon chapter replay Overall opinion Like every other Steamworld game, I enjoyed my time. But this one stuck out to me due to its repetitive post game, making it quite tedious to complete. -The main story is alright, it isn't a masterpiece of writing, but it's engaging enough to see where it goes next. -The variety in cards, decks, and team combos is great, and it allows you to make some interesting strategies. And everything until chapter 18 felt worthwhile in my opinion. -The final boss was a pushover for some reason, whilst the one before it could randomly 2 shot your max geared team if they felt like it. -The Midas cup felt like a cool idea, but poorly executed. You essentially fight all previous story bosses, but they're buffed massively, and you only get 7 turns before instantly dying. These bosses usually rely on rng as a simple confusion proc could end your entire run. Add to the fact it's like 5 battles long, and you get an infuriating post game. tldr; Alright as a genre introduction, don't recommend achievement hunting. Should you buy it? If it's on sale, yeah. Full price? No.

Played it. Beat it. Did a bit of post-game stuff. Charming game, fun battles, it was a time machine. I embarrassingly killed 19 hours in far under 2 days. If you're reading this when the sale is still going on, you're a silly goose for not buying it.

April 2024

After about 2 hours in: The game play is an interesting blend of a traditional RPG and some card game mechanics, some of which I haven't seen in other games before. The art is well done, though the robot theme isn't one I prefer. My biggest gripe with this game is the story/plot. It is painfully bad and while you can skip segments of it, you can't skip all of it and there's a lot of it. I am not sure who the target audience of the plot is. It feels like a saturday morning cartoon that targets 5 year olds, but the game play is probably aimed at an older audience. So disappointing. I am still giving this a positive review, since my dislike of the plot may be subjective and the gameplay (the combat and the card mechanics) are fine. After about 12 hours in: There is so much dialog, ugh! so annoying. Each level has certain number of secrets hidden within it and if you don't find everything, then you'll have to go back and replay it (if you want all the stuff). When you do replay it, you have to listen to all the dialog again. I hate it. My recommendation, if you don't want to have to replay stuff, is to use a guide online to find all the secrets on your first play through. Why would you want all the secrets? Well, sometimes they are new cards for building different kinds of decks.
