The story in Frontier Quest is described as nostalgic and purposeful, with each quest contributing to the exploration of new areas. However, the storytelling is considered odd, and players express a desire for better navigation tools to manage the growing number of quests. Overall, while the narrative has potential, its execution leaves room for improvement.
“Frontier Quest is a cute game that somehow feels nostalgic despite being released last week.”
“It has a great sense of not making you do anything without purpose, as each quest plays a role in unlocking new areas to explore.”
“By any measure, the game is slow, the graphics are janky, the battles are tedious, and the storytelling is odd.”
