It's not uncommon these days to come across a game that blends multiple genres to the point where you're not really sure what to classify it as. Lock's Quest is a role-playing game with strategy elements that follows the young archineer Lock, who must use his talents to help fight the evil Lord Agony. Switching between building and fighting breaks up the gameplay, and as the story progresses, it's hard not to wonder what challenges lie ahead. The cinematic opening provides a bit of history, and it's easy to appreciate the hand-drawn art and the epic score.

It’s not often that a port of a game is regarded with comparable praise to its original version.

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.
