Hi! As a kid, I would play the demo of this game with my brothers on TV. We never could have finished it. So recently, I really wanted to replay this game as I have fond memories of it. I just finished the game and the DLC, and I am happy that I did it. It's really simple, but good gameplay. The storyline is fun. You even need to come up with strategies to progress and properly defeat the enemies (whose level increases), so it never gets boring. I just have one thing to say — and it may be a pity — but I was really sad that the design of the candy bag "regressed" in the DLC after doing the quest of finding the 6 hidden children. Also, I meant to say that I got the 1 & 2 game on sale. So it may be better like this, as the gameplay is also quite short (at least for the first, as I still don't know for the second). But it's okay, I will be playing the 2 ! :)

-----SPOILERS AHEAD----- As always, I played this for the nostalgia. As a kid i used to watch AuthenticZac on YT play his blind playthrough of games for HOURS and costume quest was my favourite one and i was OBSESSED. For every year after i first watched it i would watch his playthrough every halloween and i have not missed a year. 3 years ago i got my hands on an xbox from a close friend and to my shock costume quest was on gamepass. So for that year i not only watched but played it for the first time after nearly a decade. Now that im on steam (all be it im a bit late for this review) i have played and watched AuthenticZacs videos on this masterpiece of a game. Story - 10/10 (biased) Possibly the most fun a kids game has ever been for me, the story is childish and constantly moving in the direction of the player keeping up with you as you go where you want. Every NPC has their own story and quirk to them that has never not got a laugh from me. From the start you and your twin sister/brother are gearing up in their costumes to go trick or treating, your mum then picks one of the twins to be in charge of the other during the tricking and treating making you choose which gender to play. Either one can be chosen as it doesn't effect the story. Once chosen you and your sibling go out and gameplay commences. Walking around you will make it to the end of the street where a car crashes into the blockade opening it up to you, walking through it leads to the next street where an ominous tall gate stands closed with a goblin creatuer standing guard with bags of candy. he spots your twin in a candy costume and throws them over the gate claiming they found "huge candy". Losing your sibling you were tasked with protecting from your mother you are now tied up into the story of the game. With the incentive to open the gate and get your twin back you go on the hunt for candy aswell as seeing a black cat with a rendered butth*le (staple of the game i cant forget it even if i try). You meet a bunch of kids on the street with their own dialogue and even side quests that give the street live and this is prominent in the 3 major areas of the game. One NPC is having trouble with some bulllies and you help them natting you your first teammate. going through the level and knocking on every door the goblin creatures retreat through the gate and in kid game fashion is conveniently left open, going through you head to the mall where you find a twink goblin in a mini excavator/tank commanding the other goblins to find even more candy throughout the mall. Going through this you nat your third and final teammate after helping them with their quest. The best part of the mall is defo the the side quests, all of them have a social charm to them that just emmulate american halloween seen in movies and TV shows. Moving from the mall to the next area you find yourself just out of town in a cobble village with a fair ground. Here you meet the villians brother (who is the black cat i mentioned) giving the characters the secret to the big bad, Moving through youll make your way to a maze where you fight the twink on the excavator guarding the way to the final boss. Defeating him opens the path to the Big bad, who is a tall witch who hates children and craves power and to do so she has made a deal with BIG BONES!!! An MASSIVE bloke from another dimension who loves candy so much when you beat the witch she revolts against BIG BONES and he cant even fit through the portal. Beating him you get your sister back and you and your new friends return home to split the candy you found and promise to "do this every halloween" Gamplay - 10/10 (biased) A turn-based game based on the best mechanic ever...halloween costumes. Every costume have their own attacks, power moves, out of combat abilities and even QTE events, although the same class share the same QTEs. the base costumes are; the robot, the knight and the statue of Liberty. The robot is the DPS class, the knight is the tank class and the statue is the healer class with the other costumes sharing these classes through out. Most if not all costumes are required to progress the game with not even a handful being missable so no matter what you get to experiance all the unique ablilities they hold. Costumes are not the only thing you can use, spending your candy at an NPC girls shop you can buy stamps which can boost different aspects of your team. After some time of playing you can buy better stamps for more candy, some examples are the wolf fang which increases attack power and the banshee which revives fallen teammates with some health. The upgrarded version being the wolf jaw which greatly boosts attack power and the headless banshee which revives fallen teammates with full health. The stamps make for a good RPG element and are designed in a childish fun way. Endgame is fun and theres a small marginal amount of challenge during the final boss, if you dont understand or have a proper build you will struggle. 100% - 10/10 From collecting all the costumes to playing the game on christmas the 100% is easy and fun with the collectibles playing how they should in every game!!! The collectibles of costume quest are in the form of playing cards which are either earned by a small amount of side quests or guaranteed after a battle, although dupes will occur which can be used for the side quests. The side quests (yes mentioned AGAIN) are a set of kids across the game that are offering cards you cannot obtain after a battle but the cards they want can be...eventually you will have knocked on every door and battled every goblin you could so you can double back to these kids to easily make the achievement pop. There is no hard achievement to get as all can be obtained in the first playthrough unless you purposely avoid side quests and exploring. Overall - October/10 The game just hits man, its a f**king masterpiece and i will only stop playing this god sent game every halloween when i die. nothing else left to say i fu**ing love this game!!!! thank you for reading all this if this gets 10 awards will dress as the robot for halloween. (please ignore any typos i havent slept in 26 hours)

That game was a pleasurable and relaxing adventure. My kid loved it too. I’d definitely recommend it to gamer parents. ❤️

A great quirky RPG. Not terribly deep mechanics, but enough there to get you to the end of a fun story. The game lives on that story, so if you don't want to be kids, pretending to fight monsters with the power of your Halloween costume, this won't work for you.

Probably one of the best games you could play during Halloween month. Is just simple yet fun and extremely soulful. The credits of the game are pics of the developers as kids wearing their Halloween costumes- that's a kind of fun you don't see in games a whole lot.
