Quest Master's Realm

nah nope. trash.

Ugh, took way too long to get through the tutorial. First real zone looked great, but instead of the quest scorpions I was surrounded by bandits and killed almost instantly. Lots of potential, but the starting experience will turn most people off.

Quest Master's Realm is a low key asset flip, a bunch of other people's assets assembled badly to make a basic game, typically this kind of thing is done by amateur developers without sufficient budget, talent and/or staff to do the job of game development professionally. It's then quickly rushed into Steam Direct. And, unsurprisingly, this never results in a product with any quality, interest, or value for gamers. This asset flip is pretty much abandoned, it's a garbage asset flip "MMORPG" with some fantasy assets thrown on, Early Access abuse pricing with paygated content before the game is even finished... and the developer went of their way to insult and offend gamers by using disgusting AI slop for the marketing material on this for-profit abandonware asset flip. So, the game might look better than you'd expect from an amateur project, but this is because it's partially or completely made up of stock assets, "borrowed" from asset stores and free asset websites. Very little in this game is truly the creation of the "developer", it's just a bunch of rearranged assets. While there's no up front price for this asset flip, the other problem with asset flips is that when developers aren't capable of doing their job and creating high quality assets, it's also true they can't do any of the rest of the job of a game developer either. That's definitely true for "Quest Master's Realm". The developers abandoned this 6 months ago. It will almost certainly never be completed. This unfinished game is just polluting Steam and making it harder for gamers to find genuinely, completely made games. On pricing, this is "free" enough, at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good, and the cost of a game is more than just financial, your time is valuable too. There's no initial download price, but the developer was charging $12 USD for this. They also intend to charge money if they ever finish it (they won't). Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It seems like a nice gesture for the game to have no up-front cost anymore, but it also tells us that the game wasn't good enough to succeed as a paid product. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 8 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. While this didn't cost me any money up front, I still feel ripped off.
