Lock's Quest Review
The game is inoffensive enough and certainly a value proposition to those nostalgic for a Lock’s Quest remaster. Frustratingly, a commitment to PC centric controls could have given a far more pleasant play experience. However, there lies more insidious issues beneath the varnish of this remaster. The real-time combat becomes interminable after a while, and the story, while presenting an occasional flicker of the unexpected, is mired by dull characters and a static world. Despite these issues, though, there’s still a still a solid enough core to recommend here. If you’re a fan, or at least able to tolerate tower defence, it might be worth a look.
