QUIJOTE: Quest for Glory

I have a whopping 27 minutes of playtime in this game thus far, which is as much as it took to play the proof-of-concept early release. It didn't cost much and I don't feel cheated for a few reasons. - I went looking specifically for a card battler and this one was a stand out from the rest - The art style is pleasant and unique - I really like the mechanic of collecting potential combat cards on the overmap before being forced into the fight - It has a real dungeoneer feel to the blocks and attacks mechanics in combat - The game (with the current narrative and two playable levels at time of this review) are faithful to the source material. - The narration in Spanish with language subtitled in your preferred language does for great immersion into the fact that this is a historically placed source. Hopes for the future -It's gonna need a tutorial because the UI, though learnable by trial and error, is not immediately obvious, especially how a turn ends and how the cards in the tactical map work. The combat UI is a little more basic, but still unique enough that it wouldn't hurt to have a tutorial. -The current overmap doesn't suggest very much total time in-game to come. I hope that there are multiple maps or an embellishment of what is there. It may require a slight departure from Cervantes and his narrative. -I hope that when you do get some decent voice acting for the bits of narration in English and all of your other user designated languages that your voice actors have Spanish accents and not English accents. Overall I really like this game and can't wait to see it grow.

Es una muy fiel representación de la obra original, será una buena manera para que los jóvenes conozcan esta maravilla de la literatura española, siendo la obra más universal escrita en castellano. El gameplay tiene bastante profundidad, existiendo distintas cartas cuyos efectos vas descubriendo a lo largo del juego. El estilo gráfico le da una vuelta de tuerca al concepto que se tiene de la obra, apareciendo personajes, que respetando a como estaban descritos en la obra; tienen un aspecto mucho más atractivo para los estándares de hoy en día. En resumen, un buen juego, lo terminaré cuando esté acabado; dentro de unos años me divertirá ver como los jóvenes estudiantes utilizan este juego de vídeo para aprender la importancia que supuso El Quijote en su momento, en vez de leer una obra que les resultará larga, tosca, aburrida y difícil de leer. Un gran juego, lo recomiendo mucho 8.3/10

Don Quijote de la mancha, es y siempre será un referente en la literatura, no solo en la castellana sino la universal. Homenajes de la obra hay muchos. Lo cierto es que hace poco salió la película " El hombre que mató a Don Quijote". Película que logró darle el reconocimiento que merecía en la gran pantalla. Esta vez no hablamos de la novela ni de su adaptación al cine. Los chicos de Cubus, nos dejan lo que puede ser la adaptación a los videojuegos del caballero, que de tanto leer novelas de caballerías, se creyó un caballero andante. Don Quijote cabalgaba sobre su hermoso caballo Rocinante en compañía de su fiel compañero, Sancho Panza. Y realiza todas sus hazañas en honor a su amada, Dulcinea del Toboso. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2788257026 Dicho esto, pasamos a engrasar los engranajes y encendemos la la maquinaria. El título arranca con un narrador sublime, que logra introducirnos desde el primer minuto en la historia del Hidalgo. Lo cierto es que está inmersión se rompe al iniciar su primer nivel. El título cuenta con un tutorial repleto de mecánicas que son enseñadas en bocadillos de texto, lo mismo ocurre en los combates. Llevo un tiempo analizando todo tipo de juegos y puedo decir que Quijote: Quest for Glory, se trata de un deckbuilding en pañales, el juego no posee una jugabilidad buena por ahora. Toca esperar a ver cómo acaban las aventuras del risueño caballero y su ayudante Sancho Panza.

Pros -Story with narrator in Spanish (very well performed) -Very loyal to the original work -Very good quality graphics and artwork -Moderately interesting gameplay -Currently very very low price Cons -For the moment only 2/7 chapters/levels available -The gameplay at times feels a bit slow. But well, the experience is positive I think, is a nice way to learn the history of Don Quixote for those who did not read the original work.

In a game with such deliciously realized characters, why are the actual battles so bland? The aesthetic is on point. The voice acting is great, and the music kicks butt. So why are the cards you play with featureless black cards? When I play "Great Defense" I want a picture of Don Quijote holding a shield firm against an incoming attack. I want to HEAR the sounds of battle. Having the cards just sort of slide into each other like actively supervised 8th grade prom goers is just SO boring. There is so much that this game does right! I want it to be really good. Easily worth the $2. https://youtu.be/mZ_aQsr0fRo

I liketh to play this game when I desire to speak in the tongue of Spain, and to visuleth mine comfort character.'Tis a goodly product of respect, and I can with firm affirmation say 'tis wrought with love. Verily, 'tis a delight to see the prose wend its way from lofty heights of reason to the merry meanders of absurdity! I look forward to meeting again with Cardenio and Lucinda.

Buen juego bastante divertido aunque un poco confuso pero vaya que me eché unas buenas risas con el vendedor andaluz.

What a beautiful little game. In its current state, QUIJOTE offers merely about half an hour of gameplay. However, the visuals are endearing, the music is gorgeous, and the voice acting – currently only available in Spanish, but with the text in perfect English, that works just as well for me – is stunningly good. As far as I can tell, the storytelling is true to the source material. The gameplay itself may be fairly simple and not hard by any means, but is very satisfying regardless; I didn't even notice how time passed as I played through the game. Overall, this game feels like a true labor of love. I truly hope that this game will be able to leave Early Access one day. But even if it doesn't, at a price of only 1.49 €, there's nothing to regret about purchasing it.
