The story in "A Quest That Became Legend" is described as a traditional hero's journey with a cookie-cutter narrative, lacking significant role-playing elements or plot choices. While the game features over 40 quests and serves as a nostalgic homage to classic CRPGs, the storytelling is not its main attraction, and the text could benefit from editing. Players are encouraged to engage with side quests, although the overall narrative experience is considered straightforward and combat-focused.
- “A quest that became legend has pretty much solidified itself as a must-play in this particular underserved subgenre of CRPG.”
- “However, if you love those classic games as much as I do, and can't find something to fill the void of this mostly forgotten genre of games, A Quest That Became Legend is a love letter to the blobbers, dungeon crawlers, and classic games that I enjoyed and still enjoy.”
- “There are over 40 quests to complete in the game, and many skills to learn.”
- “The first town had maybe 10 people in it and only two gave quests, and both were to clear mobs.”
- “The story is the old cookie cutter 'you're a hero that saves the world'.”
- “Although the story is not the main draw here, the text could really use some extensive edits.”

The gameplay is described as a blend of old-school mechanics and modern addictive elements, featuring a satisfying micromanagement system that encourages strategic thinking. However, the requirement to manually pass turns is criticized as outdated and cumbersome. Overall, while the game lacks some traditional mechanics like food and resting, it offers a well-balanced and challenging experience that rewards attention to detail.
- “Addictive gameplay loop: micromanagement of cooldowns, range, and mana, and coming up with the best move each turn in a given fight makes for a satisfying and addictive gameplay.”
- “The game world is well crafted and the gameplay is well balanced.”
- “Once I understood the game mechanics and stats, I am doing well now but still challenging, which makes it fun.”
- “The absolutely worst mechanic in the game is the need to manually pass your turn; all 50,000 moves require you to tell the game you're ready to move on... so 1980s.”
- “I like old school games, but not old school mechanics.”
- “As far as gameplay, the difficulty is no joke.”

- “The only additions I would like are maybe some varying battle music themes depending on enemy challenge, kind of like Wizardry 8.”

The graphics are generally well-received, showcasing a blend of old-school aesthetics with modern flair, particularly in spell effects and overall smooth performance. While the 3D visuals are mostly well-executed, some NPC designs fall short. Players are advised to monitor GPU temperatures when running the game in ultra graphics mode.
- “Graphics are pretty good and the spells and their effects are very nice to watch.”
- “The graphics are generally serviceable and good; the engine runs things smoothly.”
- “While the name is a bit verbose, and the price tag was a little more than I wanted to risk for an unproven title, the graphics had an old school look with a bit of flair, and the gameplay reminded me of Wizardry 8 and Might and Magic VI-VIII.”
- “The 3D graphics are generally well done, with NPCs being somewhat the exception.”
- “While the name is a bit verbose, and the price tag was a little more than I wanted to risk for an unproven title, the graphics had an old school look with a bit of flair.”

Overall, the game's optimization is generally well-received, with players noting that it runs smoothly despite some minor bugs. While there is room for improvement in optimization, the focus on fun and engaging gameplay seems to outweigh these concerns, and players appreciate the ongoing developer support for patches.
- “Probably needs to be optimized a bit, but it's a good game and worth the asking price.”
- “Overall game performance is very good - there are a few minor bugs, but the developers are patching at the moment, so these will be fixed.”
- “To me, this game has more of the 'fun factor' where M&M was less about in-depth stats and optimizations the way Wizardry 6/7/8 did it, and more about just creating a fun fantasy setting experience with a bunch of mobs and some loot.”
- “So there is probably some optimization that could be done, but the game runs quite well for what it is; I really don't have any complaints in this department.”
grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious due to the presence of numerous high-health trash mobs, which can make battles feel prolonged and repetitive. However, the abundance of enemies available for leveling means that traditional grinding is not necessary.
- “Bosses with high health is one thing, but 15+ trash mobs with 30k+ health each made some fights very tedious.”
- “So, there's no real grinding to do, as there are plenty of enemies to go around for leveling up.”
