Punch Quest Review | Hardcore Droid
Hardcore Droid:
"In Punch Quest’s title sequence, you see a beefy man catching some z’s in a hammock strung up between apple trees. An orc sits nearby, smiling as he sniffs a flower. Suddenly, an apple falls and plonks the man on the head. He assumes he’s been punched, and immediately retaliates against the poor flower enthusiast—then breaks down the door of a nearby castle to continue his rampage. Here’s the thing: Punch Quest isn’t interested in making us feel sorry for the orc. The quests at hand don’t involve making restitution to the orc or his family. Instead, the game revels in how arbitrary the ass kicking is. Unlike other beat ‘em ups where you’re trying to rescue your girlfriend or take down a crime syndicate, this is a brawler where you punch for the sake of quests, and quests are for the sake of punching."
