The story of "Carter's Quest" is described as colorful, whimsical, and engaging, featuring a mix of quirky characters and intriguing plot twists that keep players invested. While the narrative is often entertaining and filled with charm, some players note pacing issues and a lack of depth in certain areas, particularly between key story moments. Overall, the game shows promise with its unique storytelling style and potential for further development as it progresses.
- “The story and characters are charming, and the cutscene design/direction helps the game stand out tremendously.”
- “The story is very out there but not so absurd that it's impossible to follow; the character interactions are quirky and endearing, making it easy to attach to them.”
- “The story rocks, the characters are great, the world is amazing, the combat is super fun, and it's all completely unique. I can't wait for more.”
- “However, in between those moments of story and character progression are vast empty spaces with little to do between them but slowly run from one end to the other and have a few combats or solve a handful of the most barebones Zelda puzzles you could imagine.”
- “Right now, Carter's Quest is an unfinished semblance of a game, with nostalgia-inducing graphics that can draw you in, but the pointlessly large open areas, lackluster and simple puzzles, and weak combat are not worth the price right now.”
- “The scope is spread so thin that I struggle to find any part of Carter's Quest that makes me think 'wow, one guy did all that?!' but instead 'damn, this is all too much for just one guy.' There is a disorienting lack of audio and visual feedback in the game that makes the cutscenes fall flat and the combat feel joyless.”

The music in the game is a mixed experience, with some tracks effectively capturing the intended emotions while others feel lackluster or repetitive. Players appreciate the nostalgic charm and thematic diversity of the soundtrack, though issues like looping errors and limited combat music detract from the overall experience. Overall, while the music has its highlights, it suffers from inconsistencies and technical glitches that impact immersion.
- “The aesthetics, while thin in some places, just ooze that simplified personality from the N64 era, and the music is at times so wonderfully evocative of the time.”
- “The music complements the style of the game quite well, and even songs that are just short loops fit the mood just right.”
- “The music, and really the entire soundtrack, is quite excellent; boasting outstanding tracks for each large segment of the game.”
- “The problem I have the most with this game is everything sound and music related.”
- “When I first got to the field, I encountered a bug that made me have no music, and I realized that the field was 100% silent, not even wind to immerse me.”
- “The normal combat music is the song I have the biggest issue with; it's very melodically incoherent and messy.”

The gameplay of this title is a mixed bag, featuring a blend of combat reminiscent of "Devil May Cry" and light puzzle-solving akin to "Zelda," with a variety of mechanics and character interactions that keep players engaged. However, many reviewers noted that the moment-to-moment gameplay can feel lackluster and hastily designed, with some areas feeling overly large and empty. Despite these criticisms, the game offers fun combat, interesting combos, and a unique style that can lead to enjoyable experiences, especially for those willing to explore its mechanics.
- “This insanely bizarre game wears its inspirations on its sleeve, but the way it goes about presenting that to the player always has you on your toes with its own unique oozy flavor of crazy toys and mechanics to play with and whatever insanely fabulous character interaction you'll stumble onto next.”
- “The game has incredible vibes, funny cutscenes, cool animations, fun gameplay, and an unexpected mix of mechanics.”
- “Right when it starts to feel a little too samey, the gameplay is entirely mixed up with new movesets and skills that not only look cool but are super fun to use!”
- “What is unfortunately lacking is the moment-to-moment gameplay itself.”
- “All the mechanics feel very hastily put together with very little thought behind them.”
- “I just think some substantive gameplay and polish is missing right now, making it kind of a slog to get to the interesting bits.”

The graphics of the game are characterized by a charming low-polygon art style reminiscent of N64-era titles, blending influences from classic games like "Ocarina of Time" and "Devil May Cry." While the cohesive aesthetic is praised for its fun and quirky designs, some reviewers note a lack of individuality and minor graphical issues. Overall, the visuals evoke nostalgia and contribute to an engaging atmosphere, appealing particularly to fans of retro indie games.
- “The art style is directly inspired by classic 3D games, and the dungeon design is already pretty fun and realized with creative but tricky puzzles.”
- “The aesthetics, while thin in some places, just ooze that simplified personality from the N64 era, and the music is at times so wonderfully evocative of the time.”
- “Visually, the game goes for a charming N64-esque graphic style with a world that contains a lot of fun idiosyncratic details.”
- “While the art style is cohesive, it restrains needed individuality.”
- “Right now, Carter's Quest is an unfinished semblance of a game, with nostalgia-inducing graphics that can draw you in, but the pointlessly large open areas, lackluster and simple puzzles, and weak combat are not worth the price right now.”
- “I love the aesthetic and worldbuilding here, but it just feels jank and weird to have a DMC-like control scheme and DMC-like attacks without enemy step.”

The game currently suffers from significant stability issues, with numerous bugs and glitches reported by users, particularly in the customization menu and certain game areas. While some players have experienced game-breaking issues, others found the bugs manageable and noted the developer's responsiveness in addressing them. Overall, the game is considered fun and charming, but players should be prepared for a bumpy experience, especially during its early access phase.
- “However, it is almost unplayably buggy and is apparent right from the start.”
- “And of course, glitches especially later on in the beach area where I got hardlocked, because I died but the save put me in the next room where the only way of entering is a locked door that hasn't been opened. Reloading now makes me fall off the map.”
- “Just be warned it's a bit buggy and obviously unfinished.”

While some may find the humor polarizing, the overall consensus is that it adds significant charm and entertainment value to the experience.
- “The game has incredible vibes, funny cutscenes, cool animations, fun gameplay, and an unexpected mix of mechanics.”
- “I'm also seeing the same kind of irreverent non-sequiturs that you see in a certain kind of game, where something absurd or over-the-top happens in the story just because the developers thought it would be cool or funny or weird, and there was no one to tell them no.”
- “Overall, the writing is best described as enjoyable because it isn't overly serious, yet focuses on being lighthearted with many humorous scenes.”

- “The character designs are really fun, the story is engaging (even if the pacing is admittedly very fast - maybe a little too fast at times), and I like the overall aesthetic it's got going on.”
- “I think some character designs are a bit plain, but when they get weird, they get really weird.”

- “Currently just made it to what I believe is the first town in the game, and literally my only complaint is the optimization for the game.”
- “Stuff like the pause menu not rolling over to the other side if you switch tabs to the edge of the screen, the stuttering in the open field, the meh feeling of the flying setpiece's attack, some assets not having hitboxes, the clunky camera during combat at times, enemies that spawned in before a cutscene obscuring the camera, background music not looping properly or being too short, that sort of thing.”

- “A neat setting bundled with a charming cast of characters that feel genuinely well thought-out, fun emergent gameplay where you place fifteen thousand explosive barrels down and atomize yourself to kill a frog, and that all too important DMC spirit, not only in the combat, but in the way the plot skates its emotional tone; balancing deliberate campiness in one hand and genuinely exciting moments in the other.”
