The story in Frontier Quest is described as odd and somewhat disjointed, with a nostalgic charm that contrasts with its slow pacing and janky graphics. While each quest serves a purpose in unlocking new areas, players express a desire for clearer direction, such as an "active" quest arrow, to help navigate the accumulating tasks. Overall, the storytelling feels lacking, contributing to a tedious gameplay experience.
“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.”
“Maybe something like an 'active' quest arrow I could turn on that could point me in the direction of where to go, just so you can have a little direction once the quests start piling up.”
“The storytelling is odd.”
