Quarries of Scred

Action Puzzle..hm.. More appropriately it's a patience-puzzle because if you "action" your way though the boulders you're bound to get merged with them! So this is a Boulderdashy game.. Dig some dirt, find "diamonds" and get the Hades out of the planet in your newly purchased spaceship. It is a fun, calm and at the same time rage-inducing game with simple graphics and soothing (well for me..) fitting music to go by. There's no rush to finish quick so you can take your time. A save feature would be nice but it's not there at least not at the time of the review. It is one of those games that [b]if you lose you have none but yourself to blame[/b] [b]Final Verdict: Non-roman thumbie: 👍 ![/b] PS. [b]If you played Boulderdash[/b] as a kid, an infant, a grown up or whenever.. you might find it difficult to adapt as it has [b]almost[/b] the same rules but with a basic difference: you can't stand under a rock.. You were warned! EDIT: [b]If you're looking for easy achievements, this isn't the game to go for[/b]. They're more of a chore and quite hard (artificially) to get. Some, for example, require you to win quite a few games in a row which is quite hard as even a slight mistake will break your stride and it's all over again..

find all the doritoes to win the game

Why do i play this game i ask myself? It sure isn't the graphics here that is the reason. I suppose it's because this game has the 'one more try' and 'greed is good' mechanics built in really well as you try to grab as much goodies as you can from the mines without getting squashed by rocks or killed by bugs. There is a lot of 'C-C64 Boulderdash' mechanics here and that is good. Equipment and randomly generated worlds keep things fresh nicely. Just dont buy this for the achievements unless you like them really hard. Quite expensive on normal price but definitely worth discounted as a quick session game.

Quarries is a modern take on games like Boulder Dash. It's more than a repeat of those games with modern graphics. It's a modern design applied to those games. Quarries is to Boulder Dash what Shovel Knight is to Megaman.

Fantastic game. Great soundtrack and a challenging puzzler. Easy to play but hard to control your greed. Definitely one of the most rewarding games I've played. It's simple, balanced, fun and has a lot of replay value.

WOULD BE A GOOD GAME IF IT WORKED ON WINDOWS 10

I love and hate this game. It is really fun and has a great sound track, but it is super punishing. You will die over and over. You may even rage quit. That being said, the gameplay is very simple and addictive.

The classic puzzle game Boulderdash, as a roguelike with some action and sandboxy elements. The mechanics are brutal but quite simple to understand. The soundtrack - a morbid chiptune loop - is an abject banger. The skill ceiling is astronomical. It's an odd fit, but I love this game. Quarries of Scred, unassuming and crude as it may appear, is a true work of game design art and deserves more recognition.
