If you haven't put Lock's Quest on your radar yet, IGN are telling you with plenty of warning that it's now time to put it there. Created by 5th Cell and distributed by THQ, Lock's Quest – previously called Construction Combat: Lock's Quest, Lock Nation, Snap Nation, and about 4,000 other titles before finally settling on the above title – is part real-time strategy, part action/puzzle (in the vein of titles like Rampart), part RPG, all mixed together with a hint of micro-game combat.
Yeah, it's an odd title to classify, but it's a blast to play, and IGN have begged, pleaded, bribed, and even killed to get their grubby little hands on this one again, and are here to give you a full-fledged hands-on synopsis.
The Playasia New Year’s Sale is running until January 4, 2021 with deals on games like The Last of Us Part II Collector’s Edition and Persona 5 Royal Phantom Thieves Edition. Plus, several games are on sale as part of the site’s Weekly Special including Lock’s Quest and Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes Complete Edition.
It’s not often that a port of a game is regarded with comparable praise to its original version. Usually, ports are clunky games, where sacrifices the developers made to squeeze the title into a compact package are plainly visible. Of course, there are strong examples like Old School RuneScape and some of the Final Fantasy games (such as FFIX), titles that are true to their original versions and outright playable. At $7.99 on Android and $6.99 on iOS, Lock’s Quest sits among these stronger ports, largely due to its inherent mechanics.
HandyGames and THQ Nordic are today very happy to announce that their Tower Defense/RTS/RPG s "Lock's Quest" is now available for iOS and Android devices.
