  • Questr offers a unique and humorous take on the RPG genre, combining elements of dating apps with party-building mechanics that can lead to entertaining interactions and unexpected outcomes.
  • The game has depth and strategy, requiring players to consider character traits and morale, which adds a layer of complexity beyond simple RNG mechanics.
  • It's a fun, casual game that can be enjoyed for its comedic writing and quirky concept, making it a good choice for players looking for light-hearted entertainment.
  • The game suffers from excessive randomness and a lack of clear mechanics, making it feel luck-driven and frustrating for players who prefer strategy and control.
  • Visuals and audio are underwhelming, with simplistic graphics and limited sound variety that detract from the overall experience, making it feel more like a mobile app than a PC game.
  • The tutorial is poorly executed, leaving new players confused and overwhelmed by the game's mechanics, which can hinder enjoyment and accessibility.
  • story
    46 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in Questr is described as a fragmented narrative that draws inspiration from fairy tales, offering a mix of humor and unpredictability. While the quests provide a framework for the gameplay, the outcomes are heavily influenced by player choices and morale levels, which can fluctuate based on interactions among party members. Overall, the narrative lacks depth but is entertaining in its whimsical approach, though some players express a desire for a more serious storyline.

    • “You may regard Questr as a frame story which can offer both pleasant and unpleasant surprises.”
    • “While I can’t really write about an elaborate storyline, the fragments you can piece together begin to take shape quite nicely.”
    • “The quests which would form the narrative of this title are tongue-in-cheek alternatives to the established fairy tales they inspire themselves from, to a certain extent.”
    • “I didn’t have an issue with the story as much as I did with its protagonists.”
  • gameplay
    32 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by humorous interactions and a unique blend of dungeon crawling with dating app mechanics, offering a solid but somewhat repetitive experience. While it features a deeper gameplay loop than similar titles like "Reigns," players may find the mechanics cluttered and lacking in variety, requiring a specific interest in its style to fully enjoy. Overall, the game presents a fun concept with rogue-like elements, but its simplicity and repetitive nature may be better suited for mobile platforms.

    • “Funny gameplay and interactions, with nice mechanics.”
    • “It has rogue-like mechanics; you build a team of people based on humorous Tinder/internet stereotypes wedged into medieval caricatures, choose a quest, then progress through a series of dilemmas in which you choose which of these adventurers attempts to resolve the problem.”
    • “It has a lot more gameplay depth than 'Reigns', with which it shares the swipe left/right mechanic as well as a tongue-in-cheek medieval theme.”
    • “The gameplay loop becomes apparent with some experimentation, but Questr is slow to inspire player empowerment over its own mechanics, some of which only serve to clutter the core experience.”
    • “Gameplay is a solid 5/10 otherwise though; you really have to be into the mechanic to get the most out of it.”
    • “The game itself has a lot of content, but mechanically it's not too varied.”
  • humor
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is widely appreciated, with players enjoying the witty writing, funny interactions, and absurd scenarios involving mismatched characters. While some feel the humor leans towards a more juvenile style reminiscent of "Shrek," others appreciate its unique take on dark humor and internet stereotypes. Overall, the game is considered both entertaining and replayable, though some players express a desire for a more serious narrative alongside the comedic elements.

    • “Funny gameplay and interactions, with nice mechanics.”
    • “It has rogue-like mechanics; you build a team of people based on humorous Tinder/internet stereotypes wedged into medieval caricatures, choose a quest, then progress through a series of dilemmas in which you choose which of these adventurers attempts to resolve the problem.”
    • “This game is addicting and funny as hell!”
  • graphics
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are widely criticized for their lackluster 2D visuals and simplistic art assets, which do not improve significantly even with resolution adjustments. Many reviewers noted that the visual presentation feels outdated, likening it to early arcade games, and overall, the graphics are considered mediocre and unremarkable. Despite the unique art style, the game fails to deliver a visually engaging experience, with some players feeling it resembles a slideshow rather than an interactive game.

    • “The game has a unique art style, serviceable sound, and solid gameplay mechanics.”
    • “Not sure I should’ve expected something else, but at least I had no technical issues and the performance never strayed off the 'beaten path' for this graphics engine.”
    • “While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
    • “While the artwork itself, while mediocre, might be considered passable, the visual presentation here is negligible; it might as well be a slideshow or a YouTube video.”
    • “Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Asteroids had more advanced animation and visuals going on than this game does.”
  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in Questr features an instrumental soundtrack that complements the gameplay well, enhancing the overall experience. Players find it enjoyable and suitable for passing time, making the game more engaging and fun.

    • “Questr has an instrumental soundtrack.”
