  • story
    46 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in "Adventure Time: Finn and Jake's Epic Quest" is largely criticized for being shallow and forgettable, with many reviewers noting a lack of depth and engagement. While the game captures some aesthetic elements of the show, the narrative feels underdeveloped, often reduced to simple fetch quests and minimal exposition. Fans of the series may find some enjoyment in the references, but overall, the storyline fails to provide a compelling experience.

    • “The storyline is fun and how the map works is really neat too.”
    • “Adventure Time: Finn and Jake’s Epic Quest takes you out of the land of Ooo and throws you into a new world that splits Ooo into floating islands.”
    • “A funny story that brings Adventure Time to life.”
    • “Unfortunately, the story itself is even less than bare-bones, but I can personally forgive that in a hack & slash RPG.”
    • “The plot is barely there.”
    • “The story is really boring and will make you feel that the entire game is pointless; ending off with Finn and Jake saying 'let's play again.'”
  • gameplay
    43 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of "Finn and Jake's Epic Quest" has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it repetitive and lacking depth, despite some fun mechanics and aesthetic appeal. While the game offers a few unique powers and references to the Adventure Time series, the overall experience is marred by a dull gameplay loop and a need for more polish and complexity. Fans of the show may enjoy the game in short bursts, but many agree that it falls short of being engaging for extended play.

    • “Gameplay itself is a blast and beating up all the villains is just fun and partly crazy, freaking enchiridion pages out the ying yang lets you use whatever you want whenever.”
    • “But on its own merits, it's still a decent game for the price; it looks good enough, the gameplay provides a nice distraction in small bursts, and you get quite a lot for your money.”
    • “There's plenty of references to the show, at least, and they are integrated with moderate success through the decision to make them affect gameplay rather than just be a collectible on the side.”
    • “Finn and Jake's Epic Quest does a fairly good job in the aesthetics department but falls short in terms of gameplay.”
    • “The bad: dull gameplay loop, lack of quality of life features.”
    • “The gameplay seemed so boring and repetitive, and the voice acting lines from characters I was expecting to hear from are so few and far between that they seem non-existent.”
  • graphics
    35 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in "Finn and Jake's Epic Quest" receive mixed reviews, with many praising the faithful adaptation of the show's art style and overall visual appeal. However, some players criticize the graphical fidelity, noting issues like jagged edges and odd character models during cutscenes. Overall, while the aesthetics are appreciated, the execution varies, leading to a somewhat inconsistent graphical experience.

    • “The game is faithful to the show's aesthetics and style.”
    • “The graphics are nice and the gameplay is smooth.”
    • “The game gives you a chance to 'jump' into a cartoon adventure time which is really cool because the animation/graphics of the game are exactly the same as in the cartoon version.”
    • “The graphics look awfully lazy, which doesn't help, and until some point which is far, far in the plot (you will not have the patience to discover it, believe me) it has nothing to do with the show.”
    • “The graphics are so bad, even on the highest setting.”
    • “Played this game on the website awhile back, wasn't digging it too much, kinda poor graphics and controls, but when it came on Steam, loved it.”
  • music
    25 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with many praising its catchy and upbeat chiptune style that aligns well with the Adventure Time aesthetic. However, several players criticize the repetitiveness and lack of variety, noting that it can become annoying over time. While some appreciate the inclusion of original voice actors and the overall soundtrack, others feel that more diverse music options could have enhanced the experience.

    • “The music is clearly trying to simulate the style of the cartoon, with beeps, boops, clicks, and melodies played in unprocessed analogue synths.”
    • “The retro-style music is incredible, and having the original voice actors was an outstanding idea as it definitely feels like Adventure Time.”
    • “It's ToeJam and Earl-esque, and it even has a rad soundtrack to match.”
    • “The music is kind of boring; it's lame and Adventure Time has a lot of music they could have used, and combat could have been better.”
    • “The music wore on my nerves after a while, but thankfully you can turn it off.”
    • “Very little variety between levels, uninspired combat with endless damage sponges, and some of the blandest music I've heard in a game in a very long time.”
  • humor
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game draws on references from the "Adventure Time" series, with players appreciating the inclusion of iconic elements and funny power-ups. However, many fans express disappointment, feeling that the game's overall execution lacks the charm and wit of the show, resulting in a repetitive experience that fails to capture the series' signature humor. While some moments elicit laughter, the game's humor is often overshadowed by gameplay frustrations and a weak storyline.

    • “As we the players, when you go to the menu, can hear BMO saying 'beep boop,' which was hilarious to me.”
    • “If you watch the show as much as I do, you'll appreciate the power-ups, as they all relate to funny and cool things from the episodes.”
    • “Then you have a great game as it is full of funny references to the cartoon and is not that repetitive, as each level adds new enemies with new fighting styles.”
  • grinding
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews indicate that the grinding aspect of the game is overwhelmingly tedious and repetitive, with players expressing frustration over the lack of engaging content and variety. Many found the combat to be monotonous, relying on a limited set of moves while facing the same enemies repeatedly across reskinned levels, leading to a lack of motivation to continue playing. Overall, the grinding experience detracts significantly from the enjoyment of the game.

    • “I really thought I'd love this game, being a fan of the series and of grindy games, but this was a hard miss.”
    • “But all of the 'quests' are just tedious levels of fighting the same monsters over and over.”
    • “It felt kind of grindy right from the beginning, and there wasn't much of a story to convince me to stick with it.”
  • stability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game experiences significant stability issues, with numerous bugs and glitches affecting gameplay, including a problematic map that misrepresents walkable areas. While players find some enjoyment and fun elements, the current version is deemed too unstable for a fully satisfying experience.

    • “I do want to like this game as I enjoy the show, but at its current version, it's too buggy.”
    • “There are a ton of glitches.”
    • “The map is hard to read and also glitches often, telling you there are places to walk where there aren't any, so you can't rely on it at all.”
  • replayability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers minimal replayability, primarily serving as a fun experience for a single playthrough. While players can attempt a more challenging difficulty, the overall lack of variety and predictability limits its long-term appeal.

    • “It would have made it more challenging, and it would have given the game a lot of replay value.”
    • “Instead, you end up with a very mediocre, highly predictable beat 'em up game which has almost no replay value.”
    • “It is a fun game for a single playthrough, but beyond that, it has no replay value, as far as I'm concerned.”
    • “Unfortunately, the only replayability is to replay at a more difficult level.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's optimization is praised for its solid performance, with smooth graphics and support for high resolutions and frame rates. However, some players found the gameplay repetitive and unengaging, leading to a lack of interest despite the technical strengths.

    • “I can use an Xbox controller, which also makes it easier for my kid to play. The graphics are much better, and overall performance has smoothed out.”
    • “Performance is good, controls are tight, and it has support for 1440p+/120Hz/60fps+.”
    • “I got bored and quit after about 5 or so indistinguishable levels of hitting guys in the back and then running slowly around an empty island looking for the exit.”
    • “I can use an Xbox controller, which also makes it easier for my kid to play, but the graphics are much better and overall performance is smoothed out.”
  • monetization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game has not been directly addressed in the reviews, but users have noted some issues with gamepad support, which may affect the overall experience. This suggests that while the game promotes full controller compatibility, there may be technical shortcomings that could impact player satisfaction.
