RPG Reload File 030 – ‘QuestLord’
TouchArcade: After covering ports and remakes over the last month in these articles, I felt it was high-time to get back to an iOS original. This week, our featured game is Lava Level's QuestLord [$1.99], which hit the App Store in February of 2013. It's a turn-based first-person RPG in the style of games like The Quest [$4.99] or Dungeon Master, but it does some things that give it its own feel apart from those games. You play as a hero who is dubbed the QuestLord, a title conferred to those who, well, solve a lot of quests, I suppose. There are 18 of them in this game, to be precise, and solving all of them will take you around a pretty big world. While some of that time is spent in dungeons and caves, more of it is spent wandering the great outdoors. The variety of the locations is one of the game's strong points. What I really like best about QuestLord, however, is how well it balances between offering a deep experience and keeping the pace quick and easily digestible. It's common for games to go all-in on one or the other, and all too rare for a game that dangerously tries to ride the center line to be successful at it.
