The Quest - Which Expansions

As a creator of the expansions, I can't try to influence you--I suggest you search each one here--look at the comments--you can do that also in itunes--look at the reviews---and then make your decision--you could try HOLI and see what you think.

Most people seem to think the Quest Gold is a lot of bang for your buck. : )

Most people seem to like if not love the expansions and you become a part of an ongoing community!

I will bet my catly tail you will fall in love with the expansions. : )

Hero of Lukomorye I was our first expansion. I think it has hours of very satisfying game play but again--as a creator, I don't want to influence you--read the reviews on itunes--and search the expansion here.

We (Zarista Games) did not make Archipelagos so I can't comment on that. You can search it here.

 

First, when going through reviews, ignore the moronic ones like "No fighting, just walking around a village" because they obviously haven't pressed on any doors and met anyone for a quest :S

Anyway, I seem to have phrased off my The Quest madness now, IDK why. It's probably because of Halo and I may return over the next few months.

Urm, yeah, you should get a lot of the expansions. I started off with the fun Cursed Chess Set. Some of the expansions start you at a high level if you play them alone (Lost Arch, Asteroids...) and are more difficult than the base game/Chess Set.

 

I think -- and again-- I shouldn't really comment but---I think one of the nicest things about the Quest is that you get to belong to a community of people who really have a lot to share and want to help each other---

that community is important to me and am always happy when there are new members--it's not just the 2.99---of course that's important to me because it means I can buy new game graphics. : ) But more than that is invaluable the bonus I've gotten as a game creator of all the people who have become a part of our community--I couldn't say what that means in dollars and cents----because you can't put a price on that---you can't put a price on community---but your good will is and hopefully your enjoyment--is why I love making the expansions----

If I can't make games that give people enjoyment, that's when I will stop. : )

The feedback of the community keeps me going.....

 

I really wanna get into The Quest, but it seems like I'm missing something. I've always heard good things, but to me, the controls are clunky, combat is unintuitive, and theres not enough direction. I don't want my hand held but I wanna know what's going on. I haven't played in a while though, and that was a really early version so maybe it's better now. I actually like the art style, so no complaints there

 

old school rpg'ing at its best.

 

I personally didn't like the Hero of Lukomorye ones, but the rest are great!

 

the qeust is by far the deepest rpg on the ios, or any handheld for that matter. easily around 300 hrs of gameplay with the expansions. I also love the art style.

 

That's right on! : ) I hope you enjoy them!

And then when you finish them--you can take the Challenge--which we are conducting right now but I have fallen behind as had to test Asteroids II and HOLV---see how fast you can get through them all just doing the main quests---- : )

Or play as a cleric using only wooden items. : )

HOLV is coming soon. : )

Keep in mind that Archipelagos was made by a very youthful creator who won the "make the best expansion contest" and don't judge the whole Quest and its expansions by it--but enjoy what it has to offer you. : )

That is one of the nice things of the community of the Quest --- that he could make an expansion and get support. He needed a lot of help from the community to make Archipelagos and he got it. But he's still learning so keep a separate save file. : )

 

so has anyone added up the total number of quests included in the main game and all expansions?

 

That's a new challenge that no one before has thought of. : ) I could do it but how about after New Years? : )

Am just recovering from helping to open childrens' Christmas gifts where you have all those twisty things to untie and/or cut. Whoever invented those should be sentenced to having to unwrap a few. : ) Little Pet Shop, which I love, is a big offender with about 50 twisty ties to unravel and they are so hard!!

This would probably make a great iphone game!! Cut the ties and free the pets!!

 

Awesome - enjoy the game and contact Cat on his site or here if you get stuck

 

Love game and its expansions!
(Didn't like Archipelago and didn't play Attack yet though)
I recommend it to all people who ask what am I doing on my iPhone all the time.

Cat, do you know when HOLV will be on iPhone? Will there be HOLVI?

 

So I have a bunch of expansions for The Quest. If I install them all, can I still access them (and use my character) from The Quest Gold?

 

Yes, you can. Just open the expansions and tap "Enable Expansion" or something like that - I deleted the expansions after adding them, so I can't check to see what it really is.

 

HOLV is ready to go---just giving people a chance to play through Attack. : )

Not sure about HOLVI---we are working on Celtic Rift--medieval new story---Horde II and something we are calling China right now that is just in the planning stages. : )

 

Celtic Rift?!

Omgmustbuyarghsohypedetcetc

 

It has some nice Druidic graphics and a double-edged spear as well as some strong female spear-casters. : )

We hope you will like it.

 

Just saw HOLV in store! Yay! Will buy it and... Nobody will see me again for a day or two as I'll be in Lukomorye (hey, it's as dreadful and snowy here as in HOLIV).
