Forge Quest Reviews

Pros: * Interesting and fun dialog that doesn't take itself too seriously * Voxel based models, so you can modify any models you want * Fun combat * Lots of loot Cons: * Only one interesting boss fight in normal playthrough (the 1st boss fight) * Could use a better UI for managing inventory. Inventory size is 500, and you have to handle each item individually. For example, allow selection of all items of a specific rarity, either for selling or merging into other items at the workbench. That would greatly reduce how long I spend in town. * No destruction of terrain, despite being a voxel based game. (Whats the point of making everything out of tiny blocks if they're not going to change? I.e. get destroyed by me and/or big monsters) * Limited spec options ** 6 proper class trees and 3 general archetype trees ** Shallow spec trees. most only have 6 abilities, 3 levels each. * Normal mode, which is required before any other difficulty, is a joke that will nearly put you to sleep if you've ever played any other video games * Buggy: ** Issues running ForgeQuest without windows 7 compatibility on Windows 10 ** Issues using steam to take screenshots (screenshots are simply green blobs) ** Issues using steam to stream the game (same as screenshots, green screensreen) ** Game crashes when 2nd player of a coop game joins from the tutorial dungeon Overall, I recommend the game on the caveat that you can get it working! There are some improvements that could be done, but it's still worth the $15 for a play through or five.

I have 9 hours in the game. I like this type of genre, dungeon based adventure. But not anywhere close to worth $15. There is so little to do in this game. I beat the campaign in about 4hours. Now what? There is almost no progression whatsoever.

Forge Quest is a unique Voxel twist with MMORPG qualities (similar to World of Warcraft or Diablo for some). I have never truly been a fan of overhead dungeon crawlers, but this was the exception. Do I recommend this game? Absolutely. The Pros: > Easy to play, hard to master > Very flexible class system > Interesting gear > Rewarding progression > Easy puzzles to start off the game > Punishing difficulties > Funny at times Although in most games - the term; 'easy to play, hard to master' almost always applies. But in this game, especially so. Learning how to play is fairly straight-forward, but learning how to efficiently play your character is another story. The class system is very unique in this game, as you are not restricted to playing one class, you can hybrid your class points into different class trees to reflect your preferred play-style. In addition - your class' starting gear does not reflect the gear they are restricted to. There are no gear restrictions (at the time of this review), but different kinds of gear reflects the statistics and bonuses it will give. So if you are playing a caster-esque character, but you want to be more built to take more damage, then the gear you will be looking for is Spellplate. Or if you're playing a ranged-damage character, you will be looking for Scalemail, and so on and so forth. Progression in this game is in the form of different quests that unlock different stages of the game, which inherently give you more gold that you can spend to upgrade your items (up to 10 additional levels past it's original level), make gear purchases, purchase potions, teleport scrolls, costumes, or combat-pets. The puzzles are pretty simplistic and don't take much time away from your gameplay outside of a handful later on that slowly begin to become more challenging and require some thought. The game progresses in difficulty, as one would expect, and the game becomes more challenging with unique boss fight mechanics that will keep (especially Hardcore characters) players on their toes. To wrap it all up, the game has a slight sense of humor added into it, which makes for a very enjoyable game. Cons: > Very limited replayability > No way to restore a previously, or accidentally deleted character > No way to interchange player perspective (more of a personal opinion) > You must always replay the tutorial on a new character > Two gamemodes, story and endless (personal opinion there should be more to do, considering the story mode's replayability is relatively nonexistent) All in all Forge Quest is an amazing game, I highly recommend it to anybody, as you can get a lot of enjoyment and fun out of it, however, like all games it has it's kinks, but - I would rate this game a 9/10.

Pretty dissapointed, and confused as to why the review here are so positive. I bought this game with a friend to enjoy a simple dungeon crawler, but it really failed to meet my already low expectations. Here are a few of the problems I found with this game: Too easy. Probably the biggest issue was that it was never a challenge once you get a couple levels up. Bigger issue is that it dosnt seem to be balanced for multiplater at all, so the same amount of MOBS split between two people makes it twice as easy. Not enough divercity. In each dungeon there is 3 or 4 enemy types that you will kill over and over. There all the same brain dead "move to player and attack" AI, nothing really changes the game up to much. I've seen worse mob assortment, but in a game where all you do is grind, it becomes really tiresome. Equipment has the same issues as well, theres a few different types of armor and weapon, but you'll stick to one and use it and it's hight stat varients for basically the entire game. The dungeon puzzles are all the same drawn out push rocks around ala pokemon and do nothing other than pad the games play time. Over all this game was a very boring and stale experience. Only play it if you've never really played a dungeon crawler before and your tastes are pretty simple, and even then it's not really worth the $17 price tag.

Looks and feels like 3D Dot Game Heroes. Bought for the sole purpose of playing this game co-op multiplayer which works excellent. The game might be a bit too easy on it's first play-through but once you got through that you can start over in NG+. Developers seem to be very involved in the community, still patching regularly after release.

Lots of Potential. Devs are involved and updates are coming no matter how minor they are. More Early Access games need to be like this. Granted there is not a lot to this game just grind away at the mobs and get to the boss and more than liekely he will be bugged and just stand there while you kill him but again there is potential.

ENG: Really visual magnificently realized adventure game that supports multiplayer as well as content production. Lots of interesting elements that are nice to look at. While the game is still in development the game is almost perfect now completed. Those who like this style of game and want something simple and not so sinister game as a testimonial! :3 FIN: Todella visuaalisen upeasti toteutettu seikkailu peli, joka tukee moninpeliä sekä sisällöntuotantoa. Paljon mielenkiintoisia elementtejä, joita on kiva katsella. Vaikka peli on vielä kehitysvaiheessa peli on lähes täydellinen jo nyt valmiiksi. Ne jotka pitävät tämän tyylisesta pelistä ja haluavat jotakin yksinkertaista eikä niin, synkkää peliä niin, suositteluni! :3

I enjoyed playing this game immensely and I still do because it's just fun to keep on playing. Due to the fact that it's still in development the storyline isn't much still but it's still fun to just play and go around hacking and slashing, exploring, and looting what there is to loot. I will say that it's extremely fun to play if you have a friend to play with (Not that it isn't fun to play by yourself) whether you're actually playing through the game to finish the story or to just goof around and have a fun time. I recommend this game to anyone that has an interest in dungeon crawlers or voxel games and that just like to play games with action and/or adventure in them.

My initial thought about this game was that it looked strikingly similiar to the game "Cube World." Upon playing it, however, I learned that the two games are in fact very different. This is a game for RPG lovers who are up for a fun challenge. There are lots of things to do, and I find myself constantly hoping for new gear with which to upgrade my current gear. Is this a fun game? Oh, absolutely. Are it's bugs game breaking? Not in the slightest. At least, none that I've come across *knocks on wood* I only wish that armor equiped shows up on your character.

This game has smooth controls that anyone can get used to. I highly reccommend playing this multi-player, due to the fact that you can not experience the full potential of the game without a party to back you up. 8/10 EDIT: The game still has many bugs that may afflict gameplay, do not fret, these will hopefully be temporary. Game is still playable. I look forward to see what Chase will add into future patches. Cheers.
