In another world, Quest of the Hero(QOTH) would be a mobile game. All the ingredients are there. Regular and premium currencies? Check. Ridiculously simple combat that practically plays itself? Check. Looks like a flash game? Check. But this is a not a mobile game, it’s a PC game. QOTH is therefore not something I’d recommend because it is simply not fun at all. So you play as one of three female heroes, a warrior, rogue or mage. Pick one and you start on a journey, most of the game play revolves around picking one of three options.
The green option gives you the lowest reward or easiest battle, but raises your death meter by 10%. If it reaches 100% you get a nasty debuff where heals hurt you. The yellow option gives a higher reward or more difficult battle, but also a debuff. Red option gives the highest reward or hardest battle, and even worse debuff. Then you have the battles, where progress automatically, thought you can use skills which take mana(the blue bar). In addition in Quest of the Hero, you can also buy items, craft new items or buy or upgrade skills. Die and you’ll start all over with nothing, except for your relics.
Now the currencies in Quest of the Hero. There is gold and relics. Gold is used for most things, but relics are used to give permanent bonuses for the runs. Relics are a lot hard to come by, almost giving me the impression that this was a mobile game that turned into a PC game. Also giving me the impression is that the combat plays like a mobile game, and that the decisions aren’t difficult or moral in any way. QOTH is meant to be mindless.
I’m not gonna mince words. Quest of the Hero is not fun at all. At no point did I feel like I was having fun. That’s because, like I said, the game play is so simple, it might as well be a mobile game. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if this does eventually come to mobile, it’s a natural fit. QOTH gets a Not Recommended with a five score. Harsh? Extremely. But you can polish crap until it shines, but its still crap at its core.
Overall: Quest of the Hero feels like a mobile game that was at some point in development turned into a PC game. It shows in nearly everything.
Verdict: Not Recommended
Score: 5
