Rogue Quest: The Vault of the Lost Tyrant

I like it! Definitely get it on sale but it's an interesting story tie in with eXperia's other flash titles. As for this game, it could use some polish - more responsive objects that don't suddenly just pop up, and better "combination" text, and the corridor screen should be shrunk or made scrollable, to make travelling easier (Miss Nech is in no hurry, unless you double click an exit object!)- but it's not too bad. I give it 3 stars, but Cassandra is 5/5 best girl and queen of the Rogue's Guild!

Enjoyable but rather short point and click game. Easy to 100%

Pros: * Amusing Cons: * VERY SHORT. Buy only on sale * Puzzles are easy I personally liked it, because of the character, who was amusing, but other than that, don't expect much. It is too short to be an actual game.

Sinceramente sono rimasto un po' deluso dalla cortissima durata dell'avventura.

Very short, but 3 bucks is a fair price for the hour of entertainment you get out of it.

This was very cute and sweet and I quite enjoyed it! In the vein of old LucasArts and Sierra point and click adventure games where there's no way to die or completely mess over your progress, the game is much more exploring and see what you can do with it while the story unfolds! The characters are sweet and engaging, the world is quite immersive, and I'm totally down for a sequel or more adventures in the series. It's REALLY short (took me about 80 minutes of savoring, and some of that was the back and forth you get from these games and shifting maps) but definitely enjoyable. 7/10 looking forward to more.

A boring setup, which draws far too heavily from other games, backed up by some boring puzzles turned me off this very early. It just feels bad and lacking, as if the devs felt that the mechanical motions of these games enough are to keep you invested alone. P&CAG devs like these really need to start studying The Secret of Monkey Island. There you land on a wondrous island, are laced with good humour constantly, and are given room to explore and solve various puzzles. Here you're given a confined space with linear puzzles, really poor attempts at humour, and the complete opposite of a good hook. Not for me.

Rogue Quest seemed like something that might be along the lines of Quest for Glory, King's Quest or even Money Island... had it been longer indeed it probably would have been. Unfortunately it plays in about 1 hour. that ends up being about $4/hour of play. That's kind of high for my taste. This game is pretty short. It feels more like an introduction or first chapter of an adventure game. It doesn't however, appear to be part of a larger series of games or chapters. I really wish it were though as I see a lot of potential for the game. It could really be fleshed out into a much larger story with this just being the opening. If you can get it when there's a steam sale for $1 or less it would be a good purchase for an hours worth of entertainment but you will feel like it's cut short. Visually the game is very nice for a 90's retro style graphic. The animations are nice (although when the main character stands with her back to you, she looks like she's doing some really weird heaving movement) and pretty smooth. It does do some closeups that I don't like because instead of making them all at the right pixel size they just zoom in so it looks more pixelated and poorer quality. Most of the time though, it does not zoom so it looks fine. The sound is alright. The background music sounds adventure-ish. There are no recorded voices but it's not a huge drawback. It does mean you have to read the text dialogues. I believe the game is Italian and was perhaps translated from that to English. This does come through in some awkward wordings a few times in the game but most of it was well translated. The writing was not the best writing I've ever experienced in a game but it was actually better than many of the other games I've come across. The characters are interesting but we don't get to know enough about them to really give them much of a bakground. Again I see alot of potential for a much larger game out of this. I must admit that I did really enjoy having a character that shared my name especially since I often play rogue type characters so the character and premise of the story are right up my alley. The interface is pretty simple to understand and use. There's an inventory along the bottom a menu button (for saves and options) and a help button (hints? I'm not sure I didn't press it). There are arrows that show when you can go to another screen, hotspots will trigger the mouse to change and label the spot when you mouse-over it. You can also press spacebar to highlight all the available hot spots in the area. The puzzles are not very hard, they are highly logical and if you are following the story and exhausting dialogue options you will find all the hints you need to solve all of them. A few items will need to be combined in your inventory. I don't think anyone would need a walkthrough for this game even to get all of the achievements. Most of the achievements are unmissable but would be easy enough to play through a second time (which would probably take much less time) to get them. There's only 7 and they don't feel like you've achieved much since they are so easy to get just by naturally playing through. Overall, if you can get it on sale and have an hour to kill plus you enjoy retro style point & click adventure games you'd probably enjoy this.
