AdventureQuest 3D Reviews

Not going to comment on the graphics because it's made on a limited budget by a fairly small team but the gameplay is really bad. You basically run around place to place fighting repetitive monsters to complete poorly made quests that offer no sense of progression whatsoever. Even for an early acess game this is just poorly made.

feels like an early access alpha/beta game but with AQW added and in 3d. Of course there is bugs but thats execpted with early access games in general. Plus the developers are not soom noobs so they can turn this into a great game given time and people's interest. just keep in mind this is early access and dont hold the tourch as high as Ark or AQW to begin with. look for potental and not reasons to hate this game.

an interesting game to say the least the lack of a U.S. server doesnt bother me much... the biggest andmost terrible issue is actually that the game doesnt fully shut down through steam... some background task or something i dont know either way going through task manager and processes and programs whatever i cannot find this ... forign proccess to close down in order for steam to say the game is not running any more... hence why i'm un installing the game after so many hours and force ending steam boostrap just so i can update my pc... good game not so grindy at low levels didnt make it past lvl 30 so... but yeah seems fun wlying right off the bat is nice too since the first available dragon has wings lol. taming is a simple reverse direction game ... kinda like reverse sumo wrestling :D the distinction between tamable dragons and untable is not apperant (think someone who is good at it should be able to tame just about anything) quick bar could use the ability to be changed from default keys to custom (num pad keys would be great). also as far as changing keys maybe being able to set look to arrow keys instead of mouse would be nice... but the greatest problem is the inability of the game to end for steam without ending steam itself

At the moment AQ3D is lacking. that said it also has the potential to go vary far. the game is still in Early access and to be honest, it shows. they only have 3 of the 4 starting classes from AQW and one class that you can pay to buy. the mobs, so far look good (nothing out standing, but thats part of AQ's charm) and the combat is almost the same as AQW (just with some added depth. But the burning question is this. Is Advenure Quest 3D worth playing? Yes. Sure it needs some work, but after they get AQ3D up to full throttle it will be as good or even better then the last two installments.

You'll probably only like this game if you enjoyed AQW. The EXP curve is terrible, even if it's supposed to compensate for the low level cap. You'll get to the point where if you want to level up, you'll have to grind certain dungeons a bunch of times, not to mention that they give far less EXP than story missions (which you probably can't do if you are grinding the dungeons for EXP in the first place). The graphics are nice, with it being capped at 60 fps. Everything has good brightness (loving me that bloom). I'm also glad that there's actually sound effects in this game. That spawn-in sound effect is kind of annoying, though. Now, the controls are a bit wonky. Realistically, no one is going to be comfortable with strafing their character and turning WITH THE SAME HAND. You can control the camera with the mouse, but doing so while moving just makes the camera snap back to its original position, making it a pain to use in combat. Controls would be fine if that was fixed.

The game is a bit good but graphics are a little....bad but still a fun game to play, However the premium currency is unobtainable through simple non-paying gameplay(Although its still in open beta so they probably make Dragon Crystals obtainable soon.) The Leveling Up system is a bit grindy(considering the lvl cap is still at 15,It will probably change soon.) But still looking forward for the full release

- The quest, story, and almost everything feels repetitive. - Bosses aren't rewarding enough. There some enemy that took 5-10 minutes to kill but the game gives the same XP you will get from killing 2-3 easy monster. The XP scaling system shouldnt be applied to big bosses. - XP, Gold, and Class Rank scaling sucks. At level 30, Level 5 monster is giving the same XP as level 15 monster, which just doesn't make sense. Atleast give a good range than just lazy 1-5 xp and gold. - It's hard to preview an item. I dont wanna go to my inventory then click on an item then click again to just see what the items look like. It's just annoying. I understand it's to make the load easier but this isn't an online unity browser game anymore. - Theres no mini map. Navigating through the world is just hard, I mean if we already unlocked and finish the map there should be a minimap to help directing me to the places I wanna be. I dont want to open youtube every time I forgot wheres the NPC location. I honestly DONT MIND the game lack of content. At 80 hours ish I finished all the main story and side story. But those little thing could be improved to make the game WAY more enjoyable. Please just do something so the player feel REWARDED every time they play this game because that literally the only reason people play video game.

Typical AE game. If you've never heard of this dev and somehow stumbled upon this with its currently "mixed" overall reviews status, I recommend checking out Artix Entertainment's [i]Adventure Quest Worlds[/i]. That is what I can forsee the game becoming. Which is essentially a decent immersive story were it not for the constant grinds and microtransactions. For AE fans, you can be sure to check back regularly for AE's latest creation sculpted identically to every other game they've made, but now it's in 3D.

Play it if: -you're bored -you have played other AE games, -you dont mind a grind -you can keep in mind its early access, and not a polished product. Dont play it if: -you dont like grinds -you need a story to get behind (ashfall might change this I guess, we will see) -you are looking for the best looking game out there... (you can however use Reshade -https://reshade.me/-, and tone down the saturation, add in some better FXAA, add better bloom, and add some sharpening.) Compared to other AE games, this one seems promising, but will need some good content to really convince me its a game worth sticking with. as of now, it has seemed pretty one dimensional, however that is expected, as the devs work through making their first 3D game. promising concept guys, just follow through :D

This game is fun if you actually try and make friends that will help you grind. Ashfall and other updates may make this game better but for now keep in mind that this game is early access and still needs developement. Playing this game alone or solo of course makes it boring. I recommend this game for people who like to socialize.
