The local Dwarf stumbled upon a scroll lying around in the grass. It was a cry for help from the fairy! The Wicked Wizard of the forest had casted a sinister spell that put everything in a state of eternal darkness.

WTF That’s really how it ends, eh?

Back in 1990, I came across a board game from Milton Bradley called HeroQuest. Everything it required came in one box, it had a lot of cool-looking miniatures, and its design was simpler and more approachable than Dungeons & Dragons – a huge plus when the only person I could regularly play with was a little brother four years younger. Although I haven’t gotten it out of storage in many, many years, I still look back on it quite fondly.

Jump ahead 29 years.

Within just a few minutes of playing, I was strongly reminded of HeroQuest even though I hadn’t thought about it in ages — an extremely good quality, and I was hooked immediately.

Imagine my surprise when I did a little research and found that the similarity was no accident – it was intended as a direct homage to that wonderful boardgame from so long ago. However, appreciating Dark Quest 2 isn’t dependent on familiarity with HeroQuest — it’s more than capable of standing on its own as a micro-scale tactics RPG, and one that feels right at home on the Switch.

There’s not much of a story here, solet’s get that out of the way first — an evil wizard has taken residence in a nearbycastle and a group of heroes need to go and roust him. The end. Suffice it tosay, narrative is not a reason to come to DarkQuest 2, but that’s quite all right since the gameplay is strong enough tosupport the entire experience.

Dark Quest 2 is broken down into two main areas. The first is a central hub town where the player can buy items, choose their starting character, later recruit others, and take care of a few other matters like stocking up on health potions and such. It’s slight but functional, and meant to get adventurers back into the other half of the game — the dungeons — as quickly as possible.

Once in a dungeon, the action is shown from an isometric perspective. Toontrack ez keys keygen mac. The first few forays will be solo, starring whichever character the player initially selects.

First and foremost, what I like about Dark Quest 2 is the elegance. Everything is wonderfully small-scale and discrete, mirroring the qualities of the boardgame that it’s inspired by. The player’s party is never larger than three characters at a time, the skill trees for each character are quite simple, and the general idea of ‘kill everything that moves’ is easy one to grasp. However, what makes it such an enjoyable play are the characters.

While each one initially seems like a generic fantasy stereotype, there are little twists to each of them that make playing with party composition and planning individual actions interesting and satisfying. The Archer has an ability that often lets her get free attacks on enemies when first entering a room. The Knight tanks damage, and for every injury, she heals a teammate. The Wizard can clone multiple copies of himself and pelt enemies with magic missiles from across the room, and the Monk… Well, he utters a magic word and the chosen enemy simply falls down dead.

There’s no random generation here — each level is handcrafted to put the player in specific combat scenarios. Kill all enemies here, rescue survivors there, find an object or figure out a way through a labyrinthian set of hallways. The variety in dungeoneering is solid, there are a multitude of little surprises scattered throughout, and what makes it even better is that the rules of play apply fairly to both the player characters and enemies alike. If the big bad of the next dungeon is too tough for a straight fight, finding a loophole by bringing the right character, equipping a combo of gear or drinking the right potions feels as rewarding as getting one over on an arch Dungeon Master in real life.

While Dark Quest 2 holds an extra level of appeal for people who played HeroQuest back in the day, it’s still a wonderfully compact package perfect for those who enjoy virtual boardgames or bite-sized adventures on the go. I actually kept playing once I’d rolled credits, and for me, that’s just about the highest praise I can give.

  • Every Game I Played in 2020: August - September 2, 2020
Let me start off by being fair. Alright fine, Revenge of the Plague Lord is not a full game. It is an expansion to the 2007 Xbox Live Arcade game Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords. I also feel that Warlords was a fantastic game especially since it is more of less a glorified Bejeweled 2, which is garbage.
Alright let's get into this shit. Since this game isn't a full game I won't be talking about, nor grading on, graphics, gameplay, or any of that shit. Anything wrong there is Puzzle Quest's fault before the Plague Lord came out. If I feel that Plague Lord at all fucked up any of these aspects I'll bring it up.
First things first, what's new?
4 New Character Classes. These new guys that you have seen in every other game on Super Nintendo are the Archer, Warlock, Bard, and Rogue. Too bad I didn't buy this game to start over. I just want new quests and a shit ton of them. I don't really want to start over with a new character then start having new fun. Anyways for those that really love the cliche and virtually non-existant story of Puzzle Quest can feel free to start over.
New Mount! Mounts were pretty useful in Challenge of the Warlords. They let you move around faster and even skip enemies if you leveled them properly. The new mount is Pegasus who finally makes it so that the Griffon isn't the only flying mount in the game. Unfortunately the developers have continued not telling you what the point of having a flying mount is, since you can't actually fly.
The new enemies are only half lame to some bittersweet comfort. As you may have guessed the majority of them are disease related. The new lineup we have here consists of the Storm Giant, the Nightblade, the Pegasus, the Ghoul, the Ur-Ghoul, the Plague Priest, the Plague Witch, and the uhhhh Plague Taster.
There are also two new bosses. The first new boss is the Sorceress Araveine who has no actual bearing on the story whatsoever outside of introducing the new party member you can find, Galnoth the Dark Dwarf. He gives you +15% to earth resistance when fighting Elves and Dwarves while in your party. While that is a hell of a boost you'll quickly realize that outside of the Nightblade you save him from, there aren't any other Elves or Dwarves in the expansion.
The other boss is obviously the Lord of Plague, Antharg. It's pretty unfortunate that there are no pictures of him on the Internet to show you but Antharg basically looks like a skeleton inside a mold of green Jell-O, only the Jell-O has some pretty ripped muscles. Antharg is a pain in the ass to beat too. What really bothers me about him the most outside of him being a status effect using prick is that his health is 180ish points, a good 50-100 HP or so less than you if you are maxed out at the new level cap of 60. To make up for this he has a piece of equipment called Antharg's Robe which halves all damage he receives. Why does it bother me? Well there is no spell or equipment that takes out that buffer on him so the real question is why didn't they just give him twice as much health?Dragon
The promotion leading up to this game didn't even make sense. Lord Antharg had been billed as the brother of Lord Bane, the main antagonist of Warlords. To me the title must have clearly meant that he was seeking revenge for you killing Bane and ripping his soul into five pieces and sending it to 5 different parts of the realm, kind of like Braveheart. Unfortunately all you ever realy hear out of Antharg is a series of threats as to why you should stay out of his swamp, kind of like Shrek.

In the end the game is 25 or so new quests that are just all recycled versions of shit you've done before. Literally four of the new quests are just fighting one Storm Giant. Outside of the fight with Antharg there is nothing in this expansion that doesn't suck really bad. I went back and finished all the sidequests in the original game that I never got around to so that I felt like I was getting my money out of this piece of shit. Yeah I almost forgot, this shit costs 700 MS Points or roughly $8.75.

It would get a higher score but it's nearly ten fucking dollars for about two hours of extra shit. I give Revenge of the Plague Lord 1 out of 5.
