Glyph Quest is a fun game and while its gameplay has been seen before it’s rarely executed this well.

- 8.0It's made a nice splash in our forums, which you should check out for some tips and advice, along with some information direct from the developer. While the core elements of Glyph Quest are probably still too familiar for some, it's a fine example of how a small twist can go a long way if it's done well.
- 7.0That's the problem with Glyph Quest though. It's all to do with promise. A certain amount of faith needs to be used in conjunction with the game as those early free levels really don't demonstrate what can be done here. Don't see this title so much as a free game but one priced at $1.99. They really are completely different beasts and the paid version is far superior.
- 8.0Even if you have experienced your fair share of puzzlers though, it's still easy to love Glyph Quest. It's a warmly familiar puzzler that you can take at your own pace, that rewards strategic thinking and planning, and it looks simply super. Top marks for creativity: Glyph Quest is beautiful to behold and some of its systems of play are intriguingly deep, even if its base play isn't that inventive
