Pros and cons of Arcane Quest Adventures app for iPhone and iPad
Arcane Quest Adventures app good for
Played through Arcane Quest 2 and 3, and wanted more, so I downloaded this and played it through also. More action and less storyline than the other two, but still a very enjoyable action-RPG with little bit of a Hero Quest board game feel. Id recommend Arcane Quest 2 and 3 first, but if youve played those and still need more arcane questing, look no further. This will satisfy the itch.
I didnt find the game overly difficult and must have missed the "pay wall" that one reviewer mentioned. I bought the extra characters pack, mostly to get rid of the mildly annoying ads.
I am still on my first game and have defeated the first boss. You cant run through it like it was real time. You need to stop just before the corner and finish that turn to get back your movement points. Step around the corner and see whats there. Lots of interesting tactical situations like that.
I buy the defensive gear first. Then a better weapon (have not yet tried the wizard).
Best rouge-like game in a long time!
This is a great game and can be a bit challenging at first but once you get the hang of it its a blast! Cant wait to see what else you make.
Some bad moments
Very disappointed in this app. Poor story progression, very little character development. Needs a lot of work, truthfully, scrap it and start over.
The 2.99 ultimate package which unlocks all characters and removes adds is totally worth it. Even playing free is a great experience.
Gameplay is like a board game. Graphics and music are pretty good. Sound effects are good too. Its a well polished game.
Tried downloading it twice on my iPad mini. It briefly goes to the splash screen and then...nothing. Straight back to my home screen.
Love the game, however it stopped working once I updated my iPhone 6 to iOS 9. :(
Second click in theres a pay wall. Sets the tone for the rest of the game. Id skip it if you dont want to pay.
I tried playing this several times and the games lasted an average of about 3 minutes before I got killed and had to start completely over from the beginning. Ive played the original Heroes Quest and this is way harder (probably because you only get 1 hero and there are way more monsters). Games that are too hard for the average player are not fun. At least have some kind of difficulty setting.
