The story of "Rage Quest" is a charming and humorous satire of game development, featuring a self-aware protagonist who critiques common RPG tropes and design flaws. While the narrative is somewhat short, it maintains a brisk pace and cleverly uses its comedic elements to engage players, making it enjoyable for those with a good sense of humor. Overall, the story is well-constructed and adds to the game's appeal without overstaying its welcome.
- “Before its four hour or so lifespan is over, Rage Quest will jump head first into many JRPG tropes to mock it from the very belly of the beast, all while proudly displaying the rage quit button in the options screen.”
- “The story does seem a little short, but it is very well put together and if you have a good sense of humor, you will enjoy almost every moment of it!”
- “Playing the role of a snarky self-aware protagonist dipping their toes into a RPG Maker game to see if it’s worth their time, Ivy complains that a long, boring, unskippable cinematic used as a plot dump has rolled on so long that the burrito she’d left in the microwave is probably cold by now.”
- “It outright dares you to press it, throwing dodgy escort missions, unclear puzzle objectives, bad camera angles, and overlong animations for spells at you to test your patience.”
- “But Rage Quest grows into its satire, not really bearing its full focus on decades-old clichés like you might initially expect, but instead using well-worn mechanical issues and awful design choices to attack you from brand new angles.”
