Warhammer Quest is beholden to the classics. Though it takes too long to show its best qualities, it satisfies the strategy RPG itch beautifully when it finally does. The loot and party-building shine bright enough to forgive a few of the darker spots.
So a bit of a trend that’s been on the rise lately is successful mobile games coming to PC or console. Warhammer Quest is following suit, and comes out on PC, Mac, and Linux soon. I had the opportunity to get my hands on it early and check it out, and while I can say that it’s a lot of fun and essentially a bigger version of the original, you might want to wait until a few of the kinks are worked out. I tried pretty hard to finish it before writing this review, but unfortunately one bug in particular ruined my progress multiple times and eventually I just had to say enough is enough.
Warhammer Quest is a slick single-player turn-based dungeon crawler set in Games Workshop's gritty Warhammer universe. But do you get what you pay for?
Ultimately, Warhammer Quest is an enjoyable experience, a fun little time waster that delivers slices of dungeon action at an easily digestible pace. But it does so at a price point for content it just doesn't justify. It feels like a game that was meant to be played a few minutes at a time on a tablet while sitting on the throne of your own household, and that's what it is, an iOS port to the PC. If you want to try the game, get it for the iPad and have a fun time. There is just no reason to buy this for PC unless it is on a massive Steam sale discount.
At the end of the day, every pixel of Warhammer Quest screams mobile game. That in itself isn’t necessarily a bad thing; I imagine playing the game on a mobile device would be a very different experience, and its short levels and simple controls lend themselves well to mobile devices – but it’s just a pity the developer Rodeo Games couldn’t find (or didn’t bother) to implement a control scheme better suited for consoles. Under the hood Warhammer Quest is a good game – at least for a while. The gameplay loop of killing, looting and upgrading is an enjoyable one; it’s just a shame it gets buried...
Warhammer Quest brings the characteristics of a top-down RPG adventure in a dungeon exploring platform. Players can plan a battling strategy with a total of four characters per party. Each hero has a unique array of attacking moves that can be used against opponents in order to complete missions and travel to new towns.
There really isn’t any need for you to buy Warhammer Quest. If you liked the videogame versions of Hero Quest or Space Hulk then you’ll find it hugely underwhelming. If you liked the iOS version then you already own it. And if you like the board game I suggest sticking with that until a better videogame comes along. Warhammer Quest is a basic port of an iPhone game which had basic gameplay and basic graphics with absolutely no bells and whistles on top, unless you count microtransactions....
