Xploquest 2

Despite the spartan look of Xploquest games, I like playing them. They are an entirely mechanical RPG experience, and while the fights are fast, the level advancement is leisurely paced. The challenge is how much do you push your luck of advancing? And the game gives some nice areas to explore, such as quest locations and ruins. Technically, I played this game on Ubuntu Linux 18.04, with radeon mesa drivers. It has a 11MB install size, and plays without fullscreen mode. Due to a GM2 game engine issue, the original game failed to start for a while, but the developer was extremely patient in forum responses. That ensured that Xploquest 2 went on my wishlist. I have not had any other issues with this sequel. I hope the developer adds some user-interface features, because it is tricky to get started. While sometimes there is a ? that provides help, most of the UI is not labelled. It would be helpful having a some tutorial pages, from the main menu. Also, it might be interesting to have beastiary information on the monsters, perhaps even to learn their weaknesses. Xploquest is a quick RPG for people looking to do some quick combat and levelling up. It has polished underlying mechanics, despite the shockingly simple graphics. It is not going to be for everybody, but I highly recommend it to people who enjoy board game experiences. (Update: the last fifth of the game really gets bogged-down, in the pace of gameplay. Each fight becomes a mess of mouseclicks. This later part of the game is an extension from the first Xploquest, and it did not get the same quality play-testing. Too bad, because that part of the game introduces a couple puzzle elements. The fight sequences are just a slog and they are not fun. However, I had 8+ hours of fun gameplay before I got to that later part of the game.)

скоро выйдет 3 часть игры поэтому разработчик многим дарит ключ от игры.Но в играх новшества не добавляется и всё остается по старому.

回合制RPG游戏，系列第二作 相比前作，游戏内容丰富了很多，也拥有更优秀的设计，如 1. 装备不再是初期全部解锁，而是在不同城市中拥有不同等级分布、使得你没办法在初中期靠反复刷怪硬凑到最强装备 2. 多了药水制作系统，每种地图都有各自的草药掉落，然后合成短暂提升属性或者恢复生命/魔法的药水 3. 魔法技能可以永久获得了，不再是消耗卷轴使用，改为魔法书习得，而且还能通过升级技能提升效果 4. 地穴cave中多了很多的特殊的构造，比如一些按钮开关、无法通过的栅栏、拦路的藤曼等，而这些机关都需要一些特殊的能力或者道具才能解决 5. 各个城市间可以通过传送门进行传送，不用在全靠两条腿跑了 6. 各个地下城、地穴也有明显的等级划分，高级地图附近的地下城难度明显高于初始地图的 全流程大概5小时以上，等级高了后低级地图就不会主动遇敌，初期买一些初始装备后就可以出门反复刷怪 然后靠赚的钱买装备、升技能，打通地下城收集紫钥匙、然后把地图最右上角地穴中的BOSS打掉就通关了 一些小TIPS： 1. 初期地穴会遇到很多无法通过的地方，很多都是后期才能解锁的 比如绿色藤曼需要一个除草的药剂才能消除（配方好像在地图左下角冰冷之地的地穴中最后宝箱掉落） 一些无法通过的栅栏则需要获得剑气能力后攻击巨石来触发按钮解锁机关 2. 地图右上角的岩浆和左下角的冰川没走一步都会有场景伤害，无论多少级都是固定的（好像分别是50和100），但可以通过通关两个法师塔（需要紫色钥匙开启所有层的门） 其中熔岩之地外的那个法师塔（初始城镇右上角4~5格的距离），可以买船或者从最右侧的一长串红树林达到，通关后获得红色指环，获得免疫左下角冰冻伤害的能力 而在左下角冰冷之地最角落的法师塔则能获得蓝色指环获得免疫熔岩伤害的能力 虽然理论上不拿这2个指环也应该能强行击杀boss通关的（多带点药而已） 3. 地穴中会掉落一些穿戴上不增加任何攻击或者防御的“白色”装备，千万不要卖了它们（不确定是不是真的能卖，反正价格显示的是0） 等全部集齐4件后同时穿上可以获得全游戏最高的防御和攻击

Это не игра а помойка как и другие части этой игры.

Compared to the first Xploquest, there are definitely multiple QoL improvements in UI and game mechanics, but the mid game is such a grindy slog with so many repetitive and boring mouse-only actions caused by mismatched player-monster hp/damage and no available options to progress smoothly to the next stage. Terrible balance coupled with the lack of keyboard controls ruined it for me.

For those looking for a fine free RPG, Xploquest 2 will scratch that itch. Perhaps more of an early access prototype than a finished game, the stuff that it is lacking (such as dialogue in the quests) proves to ultimately be unnecessary to the actual RPG experience of getting more and more powerful. While without dialogue it may be unclear exactly what you are accomplishing, you nevertheless know you are accomplishing things: the map gets more and more explored, your inventory of weapons and alchemy ingredients grows, and you become more and more powerful. While you never know exactly what's going on, you will still feel like you are enjoying yourself, and ultimately that's what makes Xploquest 2 a great game.

Xploquest 2, açık bir dünyada geçen, karakterinizin keşfedilmesine ve yönetilmesine dayanan, karo tabanlı bir rol yapma oyunudur.

I’d probably go with a mixed review if I could. It’s not terrible, but it was a little disappointing. I liked the original Xploquest better. Xploquest 2 is similar to the first game, but with a few added features. There’s still no plot or dialogue, but the world map is larger and exploring caves is not as simple as just fighting monsters. Well, it’s still mostly just fighting monsters, but the caves are a simple platformer. You might need to find the jumping spell first so that you can jump across a gap to fight the next monster. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t tell you about the jumping spell in advance, so I thought that there might have been some glitch. Fortunately, they kept the autosave feature from the first game. If you get killed by monsters, you can continue from the last point when you were at a city. Thumbs up for the automatic save feature. I know this is a minimalist game, but I did miss a few features. I think it would have been better if the enemy creatures had a visible health bar, so you could see how much damage you’re doing. Another useful feature would be a notice of how many points you need until the next experience level. Still, if you liked the first Xploquest, then this is worth taking a look at.
