Dream Quest Reviews

Absurdly compelling

philomory

There are a few other games out there that aim for this same formula (though honestly, not _that_ many, I wish there were more), but Dream Quest is still the king of it's unique little genre. If you like a game that rewards experimentation and strategy, and with loads to discover, this is for you.

super satisfying combat

hintzilla

like everyone else says, don't let the simple art put you off this game. i was skeptical that i could enjoy the game due to the ms-paint quality art, but as soon as you start to get into the deck building and card combat, it's totally worth it. building and using a good deck is incredibly satisfying and unlike any other game i've played.

The Greatest Game Ever Made

No hyperbole here. This is the best mobile game out there by a long shot. Incredibly well-designed, tons of depth, near-infinite replayability. I've logged hundreds of hours on it over the past few years, easily. Well worth your money.

Careful, this may be the last game you play.

So good you may end up neglecting every other game. Every run feels unique, challenging, tons of achievements to unlock. Awesome fun!

Awesome Game

I don't write many reviews but felt obliged to for this gem. Superbly well balanced game that I keep coming back to again and again to try and get more of the achievements. One of the best rogue-like games out there!

Absolutely terrific

This is the best designed iPad game I've ever played. (You will forget about the bad art about 5 minutes in.) It brings something new to deck-building and rogue-likes. Totally addictive.

Spectacularly well-designed

Ridiculously rich replay value has been built into this well-designed deck building strategy game. The graphics are, to my eye, charming, but they are not the point. The point is the wonderful combat system that requires different strategies for different player types. One of my all-time favorite iPhone games.

So Simple, It's Complex

Long John 1964

I am a big fan of dungeon crawling games and deck building games, and the more complicated, the better. When a friend showed me Dream Quest in all its simplicity, I had misgivings about it. Now that I have been playing it for a while, I love the game! The game is easy to learn, and a full game can usually be completed within 20 minutes. You can choose between four different classes, and can unlock ten more classes through completion of achievements. Each class has its own starting deck and its own pool of cards available during the game. Though it looks simple, there is actually a lot of strategy involved. You must carefully build and hone your deck to defeat the monsters in battle. The 55 different monsters and 18 different bosses (not all of which you will see in any one game) have their own unique decks, each with their own abilities, including very annoying ones that keep you from playing your cards, change the rules of the game in some way, or simply kill you very quickly. Learning which cards will help more than others in different situations is also deceptively complex. You must rely on your knowledge, careful choices, and a lot of luck to beat the game. I have only beaten it once. There are a few annoying issues with the game that need work. Playing a game between devices is possible, but it requires uploading the game to a server from one device, then downloading it from the server to the other device. There are also a few bugs, but thankfully very few. When playing the Druid class, for instance, several cards will disappear out of your deck when "fighting" monsters, and they are never the same ones. This can make it nearly impossible to defeat certain monsters. Fix the issues and bugs, and we have a top-notch game that should be on every phone and tablet.

Love it! How about a harder level?

This game has been so fun thus far! It's definitely one of my favorites. I haven't completed the game yet, and I've only played on Velociraptor difficulty, but my experience so far has been excellent. I love finding the tricks to strategy for each class, and the different classes provide a lot of variety in play style. The randomized levels keep the gameplay interesting, and there's a lot of satisfaction in progressing. I haven't had to use it, but the option for using achievement points to buy cards seems like a nice alternative to getting stuck. I can't speak for the balance of the two lower difficulties because I haven't played them, but the difficulty of Velociraptor seems a bit light. I was expecting it to be a bit more diabolical! Instead, it's more of a light, happy medium level. I would LOVE to see the release of a harder difficulty. ?
