Summary

Quick Quest features pixel art graphics and a chiptune soundtrack. It’s an action platformer with run-based, one-life gameplay. The levels are short and bite-sized, with big boss encounters. After each boss fight, you can choose one of two rewards, including powerful sword variations. The boss fights are generally the same, but the developers have cleverly made them feel different. The game also features familiar hack-and-slash combat, and you can wall slide to climb up higher ledges and walls.

The game supports controller input and allows you to remap the controls for the keyboard. However, there have been issues with the controller recognition, as reported on the Steam forum. The default controls may seem strange, as some users have reported that the left and right controls were reversed. The game has minimal graphics and game settings, including screen size and filter options (pixel/TV/Arcade).

There are a few technical issues to note. The Steam achievements make a sound but don’t pop up on the screen. The mouse cursor stays on the screen regardless of the control method. The music can repeat a lot, and alt-tabbing can sometimes cause the game to freeze.

The game has a download size of 74.53MB and features Steam achievements. Your best run is displayed in the main menu.

This game seems to offer a unique blend of action and platforming with a retro aesthetic, but potential players should be aware of the control issues and minor technical problems. Despite these issues, the game’s clever boss design and rewarding system might still make it an enjoyable experience for fans of the genre.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
