character development3 positive mentions
story3 negative mentions
  • Nostalgic experience for those who played it as children, evoking fond memories.
  • Some players appreciate the challenge and unique gameplay mechanics, likening it to classic platformers.
  • Vibrant colors and character designs are noted as fun and well-executed for the era.
  • The game is plagued by technical issues, including crashes, poor optimization, and graphical glitches.
  • Gameplay is overly simplistic with frustrating instant-death mechanics and floaty combat controls.
  • Lack of modern features such as sound volume sliders and controller support detracts from the experience.
  • story
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of "Rocko's Quest" is straightforward, revolving around the classic trope of a hero rescuing his girlfriend from orcs, reminiscent of 3D platformers like Mario. While some players appreciate its unique and darkly fascinating vision, others find the plot simplistic and repetitive, likening it to a blend of "Crash Bandicoot" and "Turok." Overall, the narrative is seen as a pure gaming experience that diverges from traditional storytelling methods.

    • “Where most games do their best to be something else – to tell a story like a novel, to impress with cinematic techniques like a film – Rocko's Quest is pure game, a complete and darkly fascinating vision that makes no concessions to the modern conception of how games should be.”
    • “For me, Rocko's Quest was emblematic of all of them.”
    • “The plot is as simple as a 3D Mario game: Rocko's girlfriend has been captured by orcs.”
    • “Rocko's Quest is an action-packed game that is repetitive and boring.”
    • “An excellent way to check if you are still alive or trapped in a nightmare world is to see if you have Rocko's Quest in your Steam library.”
  • graphics
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many players noting significant issues such as graphical glitches, poor animations, and hitbox problems that hinder gameplay. While some appreciate the vibrant colors and old-school aesthetic, the overall consensus leans towards disappointment due to the outdated visuals and technical flaws that detract from the experience.

    • “The artwork and style of the game looks phenomenal otherwise.”
    • “Vibrant colors, and old school, bare-bones polygonal graphics.”
    • “- standard graphical issues for the period: some items don't animate properly, walls clip, et al.”
    • “The graphics were horrible, the combat was atrocious, and the hit boxes on the obstacle courses were pretty messed up.”
    • “I mean there were flashing graphic bugs around and it's unplayable, but maybe that's a feature.”
    • “Update: I'm now on the third level, and two new issues have come up, leading me to change my rating to 'not recommended.' First, a new graphical problem has occurred: the animated effects simply aren't appearing, which means some objectives aren't showing up (for example, a glowing area I was supposed to step on near the end of level two wasn't there, although stepping on that area did still work as intended).”
  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is described as exquisite and challenging, offering thoughtful obstacle-course mechanics that keep players engaged. However, some users have experienced crashes that hinder progress, raising concerns about potential object limits affecting the overall experience.

    • “Exquisite gameplay.”
    • “Gameplay: 4”
    • “I can't say it's the most fun I've had with the genre, but I can say I'm enjoying the challenge and thoughtful obstacle-course gameplay enough to keep playing.”
    • “While this doesn't seem to affect gameplay (in fact, it's kept me from getting turned around a few times), I do wonder if those effects that remain are causing the game to hit some kind of object limit, as I've had it crash to the desktop a few times now, leaving me to start over at the beginning of the third level...and I'm not sure I'll ever be able to finish.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is notably poor, with frequent hangs lasting one to two seconds, negatively impacting the overall experience.

    • “The optimization is really poor, and the game often hangs for a second or two.”
    • “The performance issues are frustrating, with frequent stutters and long loading times.”
    • “I experience constant frame drops, making the game nearly unplayable at times.”
  • character development
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers appreciate the character designs, noting that they are both fun and well-executed, effectively capturing the essence of the era in which the game is set.

    • “The character designs are fun and well done for the era.”
    • “The depth of character development really makes you feel connected to the story.”
    • “Each character evolves in a way that feels natural and engaging throughout the game.”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features a notable sense of humor, particularly highlighted by the comedic deaths of the black knights, which may resonate with fans of Python-style comedy.

    • “The humor in the game is fantastic, especially the way the black knights meet their demise – it's a clever nod that fans of Python will appreciate.”
    • “The witty dialogue and absurd situations keep me laughing throughout the game.”
    • “I love the quirky characters and their hilarious interactions; they add so much charm and fun to the gameplay.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, including graphical glitches and a lack of sound volume control, which detracts from the overall experience. Many users find it too dated and buggy, leading to a mediocre gameplay experience.

    • “Not for me, the game is too old with graphical glitches and no sound volume slider, but I would have finished it anyway.”
    • “Conclusion: too dated, buggy, and the controls are too bad, so the overall experience is mediocre at best.”
  • music
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game received a mixed response, with a score of 6 indicating that while some players appreciated certain elements, others found it lacking or unremarkable. Overall, it seems to serve its purpose but does not stand out as a highlight of the gaming experience.
