Warhammer Quest (Classic)

It's not as if a negative review is meaningful now, just frustrated that yet another solid conversion of a tabletop game to PC has been de-listed and co-opted into a worthless excuse for a game, designed for mobile originally, and rife with micro transactions and poor excuses for content options. Warhammer quest itself, both as a tabletop game and in it's video game version were excellent. It only ever really appealed to a minority of the gaming community, even as a tabletop game, it didn't find all that large an audience among Warhammer gamers. I can only guess that this was the impetus behind the reasoning which lead to entrusting the IP's continued production to Perhchang! - a sorry excuse for a games developer. When Ticket to Ride was done wrong in similar fashion, I resolved to boycott not just the purveyor of the video game they shifted to (ie. Ticket to Ride is a board game, that got an excellent video game adaptation, and then got their license sold off to another company which caused their digital game version to become defunct and no longer available. While the new controlling entity moved all content behind a paywall and proceeded to generate a dumbed down version of the game for PC etc), I also resolved to boycott the company which created the IP and owns the title for printing the board game, in their entirety. I won't purchase from or support them in any way, given how atrociously they've decided to treat paying customers. So then, should I do the same with Games Workshop and Warhammer? GW and the Warhammer universe have been such a large part of my gaming landscape for decades, going back to buying White Dwarf off the rack at the comic book shop before I knew what a game store was. Buying miniatures by mail, for my friend and I to try and create our own war game (we had very little idea what Warhammer really was, or what a war game would look like, and we certainly knew of noone to play with, there was no game store in our town). Eventually that all changed and someone started a store in our town, I fell quickly into the rabbit hole of D&D, Paladium, Rifts, Shadowrun, GURPS, Cyberpunk, Magic the Gathering and of course Warhammer. Tough to walk away from any of that, those were my worlds for decades of my life. Sadly many of them have gone so far in efforts to pander to greed executives, I don't recognize the worlds they try to provide any longer (D&D, MTG & WOTC, but also GW & Warhammer to a great extent). So yeah, I will walk away from Games Workshop and Warhammer, same as I've done for D&D, MTG and Wizards of the Coast. When I say walk away, I don't mean I'm going to uninstall and toss in the trash everything I own from them, but rather, I won't give them further money. They can't be trusted with it, obviously. How bout you? Do you care what sort of content or quality your money goes to support? Or do you not care, as long as you get the next big flashy thing? Just note, that now days, 9 times out of 10, you do NOT get what you pay for... and the gaming community is full of players who have grown up in an environment where that's fine, cause that's all they've ever known. We should blame ourselves for that, as we're the ones who didn't hold content creators to better standards of quality. Too late now? Perhaps. Whatever you're playing, where ever you are, I'll be tilting windmills somewhere else very likely.

Can't purchase new characters, online shop down. No idea why they can't just make a simple patch to make them free or already owned.

Feels like playing the original board game, which is the highest compliment I can think of.

Fun at first but boy is this a grind. You need to pay increasing amounts to level up your characters and the loot sells for 1/4 of its listed value. Moving through the dungeons is exceptionally slow because the character movement is designed for being in combat. When you have 20 squares to move and can only do 4 at a time it makes for absolutely riveting gameplay. The combat itself can be very strategic, but be prepared for only a fraction of your attacks to hit. It was a maddening experience.

You cannot DL the extra characters, item etc. It would be very easy to have just patched this in but alas it seems it is no longer available on the store. If a Dev or Publisher sees this please do us a solid and patch this to include all DLC. Or does anyone know of an alternative source of the full game?

Note that this game isn't available any more. I think this game is basically OK and a basic adaption of the board game, but the time I played it, I got bored quickly. It's was also originally a mobile game, laced with micro transactions that translated to the PC version, but got somewhat elevated by providing the paid content as additional DLC. You see, if you don't buy and get hold of the "deluxe" version, you are stuck with the 4 characters you get initially, what is about 1/3 of available characters. Worse, there is a f2p version of the game now, where they realized this stuff. Unless you are a really fan of the franchise, keep off the game.

I really liked this game for what it was. Their also is a direct sequel to this game that i also can't buy here anymore if i wanted. Instead they introduced a free to play model for their third adventure. And that is where they lost me. I would rather pay for my game and don't have to deal with pay to win ♥♥♥♥. THIS IS RECOMMENDED!!!

Great game shame the DLC can't be downloaded anymore.

Хорошая, мне в целом понравилась, для любителям инди вахи точно зайдет. А Здесь будет кошка, люди, которые будут пролистывать страницу, могут погладить ее. 　　　 　　／＞　　フ 　　　 　　| 　_　 _ l 　 　　 　／` ミ＿xノ 　　 　 /　　　 　 | 　　　 /　 ヽ　　 ﾉ 　 　 │　　|　|　| 　／￣|　　 |　|　| 　| (￣ヽ＿_ヽ_)__) 　＼二つ

Awful overall. Low quality, low effort. Ugly top view, amateurish animations, laughably shallow gameplay (I mean, it's heroquest... but even more stripped down than the actual board game). Badly balanced. The whole thing is 99% RNG.
