Greetings mechanics and tinkerers!

Grab your steam-forged sword and take along: Hero's Quest Automatic RPG

Blogger.com is now working again and I am able to post finally. I am sorry for the delay.

This game says it is an automatic RPG, but that name is misleading. There are no idle or automatic elements to this game at all except for battles are automatic. The game is a Rogue-like in that you have a limited number of battles to gain enough gold to buy the next weapon upgrade. You gain more moves by defeating bosses. Each room section normally contains at least 1 boss.

As your progress in the game, you earn tickets that allow you to buy new characters or unlock new relic slots. You can watch optional videos to earn 500 tickets at a time. I recommend to do this a couple times to earn the Dark Knight to gain a defense boost.

This game has 5 slots for equipment. You click on one of the slots and you open a menu that allows you to buy a item. The price becomes expoential and it is impossible to get more than about 2 items a run through. Each of these items you keep during every reset. The left over gold goes to obtaining tickets. This game you can not spend a lot of time grinding levels so every move must be percise. Starting off you have to push past the level 1 creature to a higher level one and earn your first weapon. Sometimes you can gain items from creatures and having multiple items of the same kind will add a multiplyer to that item, In theory if you collect enough of a lower level item it can be partially better than the next stage up but I don't see enough of a boost from what I've collected in my playthroughs.

Next is just the option screen. Nothing too exciting to see here beyond basic things.

Here is the basic of the game screen you see. To move you slide your finger around in the direction you want to go. When you do a vitual joystick appears on the screen. Move over a monster to fight it.

You can only sit by and watch as you fight an enemy. If you lose the fight, you revive with 2 energy used up. So choose your battles carefully.

The stats are like any other RPG but it takes a LOT of points to make certian stats actually give you any bonus like Luck. The first few runthrough you want to go pure attack to make the most progress. As you progress on you have to focus on Defense to survive. Agility and luck are useless to focus on as the armor and rings will boost these stats.

Here is an example of a higher level boss. You can not see the level of any of the bosses and the bosses do not respawn when you kill them unlike the other creatures that do.

Overall:

5 of 5 cogs.

Overall, the concept of the game is a little different and I really do like how this game handles a new game plus. You have to really pay attention to some things and as you gain better weapons, you can move on

Story:

 1 of 5 cogs.

This game doesn't seem to have a direct story but there is a small amount of story that could be gleamed from the type of monsters you figh or the areas you see. Other then that, there is no direct story.

Amount of ads:

 Many.

There is a constant bar advertisement as seen in the screenshots above. There is also optional ads you can view for additional tickets or time.

Accurate Advertising?:

80%

This game is a bit misleading in the name. This is not an idle game. The only automatic part is combat. Everything else is mannual play. The google glay screenshots do fairly match the gameplay but don't tell you enough.

Graphics:

 5 of 5 cogs.

This game reminds me of many classic RPGs like Final Fantasy and similar games. This has a good clasic feel to it.

Gameplay:

5 of 5 cogs.

The game is fun but can become tedious and repetitive. The game does not leave much room to experiment with stats too much to make an effective run through.

Free play:

💯%

You can play this game as long as you want without paying for anything. You can buy an upgrade to remove the ads and gain extra battles for a run.

Fun factor:

😄.Great classic Fun.
