    The story in "A Quest That Became Legend" is largely conventional, revolving around the classic hero's journey to save the world, with a focus on combat rather than deep narrative or role-playing choices. While the game features over 40 quests, many are straightforward and lack complexity, and the overall storytelling could benefit from more polish. Despite its simplicity, the game serves as a nostalgic homage to classic RPGs, appealing to fans of the genre.

    • “A quest that became legend is a love letter to the blobbers, dungeon crawlers, and classic games that I enjoyed and still enjoy.”
    • “It was like I had gone back in time, but this time there was a new world, new quests, and new heroes.”

  • gameplay14 mentions

    The gameplay is generally praised for its engaging and addictive mechanics, featuring a deep skill tree and customizable class options that enhance the experience.

    • “Thus, the gameplay is good and probably the main reason to play.”

    • “The game world is well crafted and the gameplay is well balanced.”
    • “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.”

    • “As far as gameplay, the difficulty is no joke.”
