If you are looking for a great RPG reminiscent of what this genre was like between, say 1990 - 1995, then look no further because "The Quest" might just be what appeals to you!

+ I like the art style really looks like a Might and Magic 3 - 5.

Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Also, technically, the interface in this game is simple in a positive way and allows you to focus on gameplay rather than zillions of statistics or needless tabs that serve no practical purpose.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Not only do the visuals suck one in to a deep world of immersion, but the fantastic soundtrack is equally as captivating; even though the battle music stays the same throughout the entire game.

Monetization
Players who bring up Monetization mostly praise it.
And because they are everywhere now let me state this game does not have any pay to win mechanics or micro transactions.
