Arcane Quest Legends for Pc

The game shows great promise, first of all. I finished the 1st act and it was a lot of fun (after the 1st act you have to pay to continue). The problems have been mentioned before and they need to issue a patch soon. Not finding the equipment with the gem in it you just enchanted is not good. Also, the equipment screen when buying, selling, enchanting needs to be all incorporated somehow into a more streamlined concept. You have to keep switching in and out of screens and that can be annoying. Also, a little explanation of how things work w/b nice. Eg. gems are great to work with, but some of their explanations are really lacking (use of pronouns). Define a little better which exact entity the gem is affecting. But, don’t let these minor quibbles stop you from giving this excellent game a try. Graphics are great, it’s a real RPG, and it’s fun. 4 stars for now until they fix the above and aforementioned (other reviews) problems. Thanks for reading this entire review. Try it!

Update: After beating the the second act I find I'm unable to go back and replay other acts. I thought after act 3 I'd be able to roam free and finish missing quests, but not only can I not do that, I also can't use my awesome hero at all anymore for leveling or fun untill they release the next act is released... So sad. Despite the technical issues that would make it a 4, it definitely gets a 5 because of its honest, reasonable pricing, non pay to win attitude, offline playability, replayability, and ultimately just how enjoyable it is. The game is hella fun and interesting with good humor, and it is well made for the most part. For any Diablo or Torchlight or Titan Quest fans out there this is for you. It does have some issues with targeting and collision (especially when your loot gets stuck in an object or out of the map/your reach - the game could seriously use a magnetic collection effect) The small top area to move the camera should be expanded greatly. Most importantly, the skills buttons should have their own directional targeting so I don't have to try and turn around while running and try to target and pray I get what I want while trying to kite. (Think any mobile MOBA joystick style, that's what this needs) All-in-all, well worth your time and money for sure!

I’m having fun playing this game, but it has room for improvement. I bought a jewel for 41,000 gold, but when I went to equip it it wasn’t in my inventory. It just disappeared. I paid twice to disenchant and re-enchant another item because the information did not update correctly switching between screens. Also, I wish the auto targeting for the archer was a bit more accurate. I have to move towards the enemy to target him, but on such a small screen that brings me into weapons range, especially if I’m being chased. These are details, though. The mechanics of the game are just what I was looking for. It’s a real rpg, not that flashy, insubstantial, auto-play crap designed to make you buy gems. I appreciate the fort here and look forward to what comes. But, please, fix the disappearing gear issue. I won’t want to play if I keep losing top end gear the aether.

At first the game was a bit odd to play. I didn't quite enjoy the camera's fast paced movement if you held too long to one side, nor did I enjoy reaching my thumb towards the middle of my screen (I have small hands compared to my device). That being said, I stuck through the game and quite enjoyed the story it told. Is it a Tolkien novel? No. But it was short, sweet and to the point with a couple typos along the way. The various enemies, landscapes and encounters showed that this wasn't just a one trick pony. I do wish that there were available fashion outfits to wear over my odd hodge-podge of collected armor. One could be hidden, one could be a rare drop chance, another for completing the game, or even the bonus act, or for purchase. But this isn't necessary and is just for my own desires. In the character window I would like to see a 360 controllable movement of the character. Similar to the 360 view of the guardians in Act 5. That way we get to see our character in full glory. It is hard to see how cool the weapon design is if it's not in view. Lastly, I hope there's more story to be told. I think this is already a great game that just needs to tighten a few nuts and bolts.
