  At the end of the day, every pixel of Warhammer Quest screams mobile game. That in itself isn’t necessarily a bad thing; I imagine playing the game on a mobile device would be a very different experience, and its short levels and simple controls lend themselves well to mobile devices – but it’s just a pity the developer Rodeo Games couldn’t find (or didn’t bother) to implement a control scheme better suited for consoles. Under the hood Warhammer Quest is a good game – at least for a while. The gameplay loop of killing, looting and upgrading is an enjoyable one; it’s just a shame it gets buried underneath a few negative issues, exacerbated by frustrating controls.

  All things considered, the gamplay is familiar and classic. But Warhammer Quest fails to use its setting. Instead of leaning on the comically bleak world established in other Warhammer games, what’s in this one is a largely generic fantasy adventure game. Granted, it’s a rather well-crafted generic fantasy romp, I’m just not sure why the developers wanted the Warhammer license for it in the first place if they weren’t going to run with the setting.

  Warhammer Quest, while being an excellent port of a classic board game, is actually an amazing dungeon crawler on iOS, no matter what your experience with the source material. You owe it to yourself to check out this excellent hack and slash experience.

  So, I’m going to wait. If I see a patch on release, or even a few weeks later, I’ll be happy. No, WQ isn’t setting any new major trends in the tactics genre, but it’s a great universe both for those who love Warhammer and for those who just enjoy high fantasy. I have to say as well that the price is actually pretty solid for the amount of content and play time you can expect. If you’re a fan of the franchise or are just looking for a new tactics game, I wouldn’t pass this over.

  Warhammer Quest is beholden to the classics. Though it takes too long to show its best qualities, it satisfies the strategy RPG itch beautifully when it finally does. The loot and party-building shine bright enough to forgive a few of the darker spots.

  9.0

  The presentation of Warhammer Quest is both attractive and economical. Of particular note, the pop-up book presentation when entering a settlement is striking. Maneuvering through the menu-driven towns is efficient, the journal of enemies and abilities is smartly implemented, and the music and aesthetic work poured into the experience balance grand adventure with the truth that the adventurers are really just in it for the loot.
