An interesting card game in the series. However, mechanically, it's a bit too simple.

I'm giving this game a "good, but it could've been better" review. Steamworld Quest goes for a deckbuilder RPG style of game, and while it does excel at giving you choices, the balance is absurdly bad. Some things are just outright way too strong, and there are no reasons not to use them. The game is laughably easy at times, even at the hardest difficulty, you're going to have to nerf yourself to not kill every enemy (besides bosses) too quickly. I think that's perfectly fine for people who are new to RPGs and just want one they can breeze through pretty quickly (it's not a long game at all for the genre, maybe 14 hours to beat), but for someone who has played some of the greats in the genre, this one doesn't impress in any significant way. It's also astonishing how many times they re-use the same enemies over and over. You fight the same dragon boss like 6 times in this game. The story is... basic. You can already predict everything that's going to happen from the beginning of the game, and every time you get to a new area, you know how it's going to end. In fact, they re-use encounters and plot points so frequently that it never feels like the story is actually developing. I like the character designs, and the writing can be funny at times, but that's about it. So what did I like about this game? Well, the shared SP in the cog system was fun. Some cards build skill points that anyone can spend, and the "three in a row" special abilities you get for using cards of the same character can feel like good setups for turns. It's a Steamworld game, so the music is pretty solid and the world of robots is enjoyable to prance around in. Some of the fights on Legend difficulty like the final boss and the arena were legit challenging, but they give you such strong equipment that they make the rest of the game a cakewalk. Overall, 7/10. It's frequently on sale for cheap, but it doesn't leave a strong lasting impression like Steamworld Dig 1 or 2 did. I'm glad I returned to it, but it's still not an excellent RPG example and could have been improved in a number of ways.

SWQHoG is just as lovingly produced as the other Steam World games. The card play is satisfying. yet the story is remarkably unimaginative for a fantasy game. All the other heroes gave up their heroics, so hey let's beat up multiple dragons and mean robots. Tere are two things I do not like: One, cards from downed team members still ger drawn, leading to rounds where I cant play any cards at all, because they all belong to a dead robot. Two: A lot of the encounters and cards just repeat, and repeat, and repeat and.... you get the point. There is an entire arena and a chapter dedicated to repeating past enemies.

Very small rpg using cards as essentially commands. The environments are static and bland. The cards are neat, and there is minor exploration and hidden items to find which is the main fun. The battles are fairly boring despite the card aspects. The story is not serious and it is very light hearted and plenty of comical attempts and is in a robot steampunk theme. Not really sure who the audience is for such a game with these characteristics. However, it does have some charm and runs fine on modern hardware. Fair value around five dollars and you probably will be happier the less you paid when all is said and done. I gave it a 20 hour chance and stopped there as the world and story was just too lackluster for my tastes or motive to go onwards.

This game is very beautiful, definitely crafted with love and care, has a good, heart-touching story and memorable companions. It is linear, for sure, and post-endgame with Colisseum and Arena can take some prep-and-grind time, but If you are looking for a good story with a decent pacing and funny dialogues - this game will provide. Also damn that credits song.
