Hey everyone, we’re here to talk about Quick Quest, the new release by Sylph. It’s a retro roguelite game in a nostalgic fantasy world. From what we’ve seen so far, it’s got tight controls and compelling gameplay.
Yes, that’s right. User reviews highlight the addictive gameplay, much like a fast-paced Adventure Island, complete with randomized level layouts and different powerups that change your build in each run. Sounds like my kind of game!
The exploration aspect is pretty engaging too. You never know what you’re going to find in these procedurally generated levels, from special rooms with various equipment to throwable items and consumables. The rogue patches add distinctive functionalities and they’re indestructible throughout the run, unlike other equipments.
challenging battles
And don’t forget about the boss battles! They blend the essence of Zelda 2 and Megaman, and require tactical wall jump strategies. I’m excited to optimize the completion times for these.
True, true. But, completion and speed are worthless without good game mechanics. Controls are tight and the gameplay feels fresh, according to the user reviews. Also, every item feels meaningful and useful in its own way making the item usage strategic and engaging.
There’s an element of perseverance too, lose all your gear with each death but, unlock permanent feats and potentially a new game mode with each successful run. The thrill to explore and finish each level keeps you hooked.
On visuals, they have a retro design with pixelated graphics that hark back to NES classics. It seems to contribute beautifully to the overall atmosphere of the game, making exploration all the more exciting and captivating.
How about the audio design? Any thoughts?
No specific mentions in the reviews, but a good soundtrack and sound effects can significantly enhance the tension and immersion. Especially in boss battles, audio plays a crucial role by creating buildup and maintaining momentum.

Regarding characters, there’s no mention about them, there’s likely a focus on the gameplay experience rather than a deep storyline or character development.
Even without a heavy storyline, the premise is intriguing enough – fighting evil knights to restore peace. Such a narrative does keep players invested enough to continue their journey through the game.
As for challenge level, balance seems to be key here. Players need tactical approaches for boss battles, and there’s the constant threat of losing the equipped items. Plus, user reviews mention Elden Ring as a strategic preparation tool, so it sounds promising on that front.
Replay value seems high, minus any branching storyline. Randomized levels, varied equipment, different powerups incentivize trying the game multiple times. The possibility of unlocking new features adds a cherry on top.
Comparing with other roguelite games, Quick Quest has a rich offer in terms of gameplay depth and variety, thanks to the randomized levels, equipment system, and permanent feats. It also feels like a throwback to classic games, lending it a nostalgic appeal.
I’m hoping for future updates to the game to include more side quests or disseminated story elements to enrich my exploration.
And maybe Sylph can expand the world for explorers like me to discover new realms or secrets!
I’d love to see more complex bosses and higher difficulty tiers. As more gamers master the current mechanics, it will keep the competitive spirit alive.
And for speedrunners, adding a leaderboard or global completion time metric could be a fun addition.
Here’s hoping Sylph continues to surprise us in Quick Quest or any other games they develop in future!
