  • story
    49 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is heavily rooted in nostalgia for the classic Hero Quest board game, with players appreciating its faithful recreation and the ability to download additional quests. However, some users express a desire for a more cohesive main storyline rather than a collection of smaller quests. Overall, the game successfully evokes fond memories of the original while providing a platform for creativity through quest creation.

    • “This game is perfect if you have fond memories of playing Hero Quest back in the early 90s.”
    • “Great recreation of Hero's Quest from my childhood.”
    • “I love that you can download additional missions a lot.”
    • “A single main story rather than a few small ones.”
    • “I have now tried the quests and can't get them to work... I can't select any other characters, only the warrior, so this didn't actually work. It's a shame; this would have been a great game.”
    • “Awful gameplay, slow, and the Arcane Quest 2 is much better for free.”
  • gameplay
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is praised for its nostalgic appeal, smooth mechanics, and engaging board game feel, with elements like dicing for movement adding complexity.

    • “Awesome gameplay, huge replayability, editor makes it possible to have tons of new quests.”
    • “The speed of gameplay, especially on smartphone, was a bit tedious at times.”
    • “The only things that could be improved are perhaps adding more information about your heroes in the shop/equip menus, and maybe more descriptions of how the mechanics of abilities/spells work, like the 'until a monster is visible' stuff, etc.”
  • graphics
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the graphics received a positive reception, with many players appreciating the nostalgic appeal and enjoyable visual style.

Players expressed a desire for more diverse tile graphics to enhance the visual experience further.

    • “10/10 so many memories to the old game and good graphics, and perfect gameplay like, buying swords and killing orcs. It sounds boring, but it is not; it has difficulty too.”
    • “Thoroughly enjoyed the play-style and graphics.”
    • “Who needs fancy 3D graphics? This game is old school awesome on its own.”
    • “The dice roll graphic is burdensome.”
    • “The graphics are a little rough around the edges, and there are a few typos in the text, but it's still understandable.”

  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be fun yet tedious, particularly due to the frequent rolling for movement, which can slow down gameplay. Suggestions for improvement include adjusting movement mechanics to enhance pacing and reduce the repetitiveness of the dice-rolling process.

    • “The speed of gameplay, especially on smartphone, was a bit tedious at times.”
    • “The main thing that is very tedious to me is the rolling for movement at all times.”
    • “I like it, but movement should be 6+d6 as this would make moving longer distances less tedious.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with users noting that it enhances the overall experience, although the repetitive login screen sample has drawn some criticism.

    • “The soundtrack is absolutely mesmerizing and perfectly complements the game's atmosphere.”
    • “Each track is carefully crafted, enhancing the emotional depth of the gameplay experience.”

    Reviewers express disappointment with the game's character development, noting a lack of depth and progression. Additionally, the gameplay mechanics, such as moving one space at a time, further detract from the overall experience.

    • “I am rating the game based on its own merits, and I'm not impressed with the lack of character development.”
    • “The character development feels shallow and uninspired, leaving me disconnected from the story.”
    • “There is a significant lack of depth in character development, making it hard to care about their journeys.”

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players highlight the game's strong replayability, citing enjoyable gameplay and the inclusion of an editor that allows for the creation of numerous new quests, enhancing the overall experience.

    • “Awesome gameplay, huge replayability, the editor makes it possible to have tons of new quests.”
    • “Game is fun and has replay value.”
  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users appreciate the option to try the game for free, but find the frequent license checks and ads frustrating. Despite this, many are willing to pay for an ad-free experience after enjoying the initial gameplay.

    • “Every time I opened it, it did a license check, so I had to open the free version to get that version to play. It was okay at first, but it got annoying very quickly. After my initial assessment playing it without ads, I found I liked it, so I uninstalled it and bought this version.”
    • “Nobody likes ads, and everyone loves free, right?”
