Indie developer Rob Daytona’s labor of love, Shadow Quest Adventure RPG, is finally making its debut on Android and iOS this month.
Crafted over an impressive 8-year period, this mobile role-playing title pays homage to the beloved RPGs of yesteryears, marking Daytona’s maiden venture into game development.
Funded through a successful Kickstarter campaign, Shadow Quest Adventure RPG surpassed its funding goal sixfold, garnering support from 171 backers.
Boasting 16 avatars to choose from, players can expect to encounter a diverse array of characters throughout their journey, both friendly and sinister.
What sets Shadow Quest Adventure RPG apart is its commitment to delivering an ad-free and in-app purchase-free experience. Instead, success in the game hinges solely on players’ skills.
Engage in turn-based one-on-one combat with various enemies, utilizing six different types of magic: water, ice, lightning, fire, earth, and death, each with its own strengths and vulnerabilities.
Beyond its engaging gameplay, Shadow Quest aims to be inclusive, catering to individuals with conditions like ADHD and Autism.
Daytona has stripped away tedious tutorials and unnecessary NPC chatter to create a more welcoming experience. The game features simple controls and real-time progress saving, allowing players to join in and out of the adventure effortlessly.
In a departure from conventional RPG mechanics, Shadow Quest Adventure RPG introduces a unique feature: players can equip up to ten magic rings, reflecting the avatar’s ten fingers.
As players progress, they’ll amass their army, strategically selecting units for battle.
Moreover, Shadow Quest Adventure RPG incorporates kingdom-building elements, enabling players to discover and upgrade buildings within their kingdom.
These upgrades generate vital resources crucial for combating the encroaching evil. Notably, buildings upgrade instantaneously, eliminating the need for tedious waiting periods common in similar games.
Drawing inspiration from classics like Hero’s Quest, King’s Bounty, and The Bard’s Tale, Shadow Quest Adventure RPG is poised to attract the fans of old-school RPGs with its nostalgic charm.
Anticipation for its release is high, promising an immersive and engaging experience for mobile gamers everywhere.
