I'll Keep Hope I Guess.

I was weary of purchasing this game (especially at $25), as it just seemed like a hugely empty experience, like a title that shouldn't have been released for another few months. But since it was such a big price reduction in the sale, I decided to take a chance on it. Needless to say, my original thoughts on it have seemed very on point so far. You're just dropped into a big empty world (one with the grass constantly growing around you due to a very limited in-game draw distance, though I get hardware and budget limitations) with monsters to fight in fairly basic and slow (if not tedious combat, chests to open with little satisfaction, and agreat deal of small glowing items to pick up that you have no idea what it is, why you even WANT to pick them up, or anything at all. The "busy" quests are nothing great, little more than "collect this many of *item" tasks, which are nothing bad. Just not exciting, especially without any known reward or motivation at all. I'm also not a fan of complete lack of direction, so it just feels like aimless wandering in a world where everything looks the same and no map (from what little I've played, of course). The character system serms fine, no different than basic weapon/ spell switches. So it works even if the combat seems little more than circling enemies whilst holding down the attack trigger for minutes on end. The music and general vibe is enchanting though, even if I can't say that amounts to very much in the end. As there is just nothing that motivates me to want to play the game as it is right now. But though I'd be massivly upset if I had paid full price for this, I will keep hope that the developers keep working on the game as promised and that it ends up a great content rich RPG experience that it shows promise to be. So I'll go no lower than 3-Stars for now, as thecwork done so far is good groundwork. For RPG fans and those who'd rnjoy just getting lost in a big, colorful, enchanting world- I definitely recommend this even as is now!

Great Start, But it Needs More

The game is okay... I feel like it just needs to commit to the open world. Instead of having a little void you start at, put those wish upgrade crystals in the open world and just start us in the open world. The tower of hope and tower of faith should be actual places we can walk to in the open world. Also just needs more attention to detail. Kinda weird that we can just walk through water and the walking sound doesn't change to swimming. And I'm willing to bet that if the grass was spread out so that it spawns a little further it would improve the immersion. While combat itself is okay, the particular character "Spiny" has room for improvement. I'd personally rather the damage be less and be able to swing more frequently than once every seven seconds. It would also be nice if that melee attack had some degree of physics based input (even if it was just a little Wii waggle style trigger). Needs more enemy types, also needs to have landmarks we can visit. Some villages, and some story and plot progression just so we can feel a motivation to play. ...the core of a decent game is there. I actually give this game lots of credit for being the only open world RPG I've found on the standalone Quest store... but it has much room to improve.

What a great concept!!!

I was so surprised when i realised how this game can be played and i found it extremely interesting and fun. So you are basically in control of 4 different heroes that you selected and each hero has two unique abilities that you can take advantage of during the game by switching instantly to each hero and becoming that hero anytime you need it. That way you can combine all the skills from the team you have made in order to kill the monsters and survive. The game is quite relaxing and enjoyable as apart from the short fights you need to complete also your daily and weekly tasks which are basically collecting hidden fruits and vegetables around the map in order to win some wishes and gold. Of course the game still has some room for improvement as the visuals could be better and at the same time it demands a lot of memory and gpu which means there is not much you can do if you want to increase the resolution by using something like quest game optimizer. That being said i recommend this game to anyone who wants to play a free of stress game during his spare time.

Arcane Horizon: Simplicity Meets Genius

Arcane Horizon shines with its simplicity and ease of play, making it accessible and enjoyable for players of all levels. The true genius of the game lies in its straightforward mechanics, which allow players to dive right into the action without a steep learning curve. The immersive environment and intuitive controls kept me engaged and entertained, and I was particularly impressed by how the game strikes a balance between challenge and fun. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into the design and execution. I'm eagerly anticipating future updates, especially the addition of co-op mode. Teaming up with friends to explore the virtual world together will undoubtedly elevate the gaming experience to new heights.

Relaxing and fun

I’ve been playing this game for a while now, I just got to lv.40. If you’re looking for a relaxing experience where you fly around looking for items, opening chests, defeating a few enemies and later back in the base upgrading your characters/cards (there are plenty of options, you’ll certainly have a favorite), I strongly recommend Arcane Horizon.
