Dark Quest 4 Reviews
The Dark Quest series was first released in 2015 and is now in its fourth installment. The dungeon crawler, which is based on the rules of a board game, hides more than it seems. Underneath its modest exterior, it hides tactical depth, but, unfortunately, also some bugs that make the gameplay unpleasant.

Fun sequel ready to expand on the Dark Quest roguelite tabletop universe
Dark Quest 4 doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it rolls it with style. A heartfelt tribute to tabletop dungeon crawlers, it offers solid gameplay and rewards patience over speed. Imperfect controls, a steep difficulty curve, and grind-heavy economy hold it back. But if you grew up on Hero Quest and still get excited by isometric maps full of monsters, the €19.99 price is well worth it. It’s not genre-defining, but it knows its path—and walks it with confidence.

Easy to learn, hard to master — even though it is occasionally frustrating —, “Dark Quest 4” is a safe bet for those looking for an engrossing, yet, straightforward turn-based dungeon crawler.

After playing Dark Quest 3, it did take me a few minutes to adjust to the slightly different approach that this sequel takes, but the multiplayer and custom dungeon builder included means that those that click with this game will have a lot of bang for their buck, and the fact that its such a classic interpretation means that you can get rolling within a minute or two, what are you waiting for? Get out there and defeat the Dark Wizard!
Dragon Front: Adventures is an interesting and fun card-battling game that I found to keep my attention throughout my playthrough, but there were moments in which I felt bored due to getting stuck in a loop of combat. The overall world of Dragon Front: Adventures is very well detailed, with plenty of secrets hidden along the various locations that the player can explore on their different runs. In terms of characters, there are hundreds to collect, whether they be the captains or simple infantry, each with their own unique designs that provide plenty of replayability.
Without a doubt, I loved every minute of Dark Quest 4. The story is great and the action is fun. What’s more, it is a great way to waste a few hours in the evening. My only complaint is the lack of creator input on the Xbox. This would enhance replay value further and give gamers the ability to create their own quests. Despite this complaint, it is fantastic, and you should pick up a copy from the Xbox store!
Dark Quest 4 works well on all platforms. The user interface is sleek and functions well. However, it could benefit from some quality-of-life upgrades, such as clearer targeting markers or the ability to revert actions during combat. These changes would make the experience better, especially for people who aren't used to turn-based systems.
Dark Quest IV delivers a simple and honest tactical adventure, but it doesn't go much beyond the basics. The charm of a board game is still present, and the various character options are interesting. However, the limited visuals and poor balancing among the heroes make the experience less exciting than it could be. It's the type of game that provides fun through strategic combat and co-op, but without major moments or surprises.
