iPhone publisher Chillingo, who most recently brought us Vector Tanks, has a number of games “in the oven" right now. Among them is an iPhone conversion of the mobile 3D adventure The Quest.
THE QUEST is a graphically stunning, engaging and sinister world full of magic, music and provocative challenges.
Choose from five customizable races and an array of skills, attributes, weapons, armor and enchantments, then explore a huge non-linear realm of four different cities and a wilderness of mountains, caves, lakes and forests.
Play an absorbing card game, solve brain-teasing quests and clash with dangerous opponents in this turn- and skill-based role playing game.
You will have many choices, including some that may place you against the law, along your way to the dramatic end of your own choosing. You will need all your gaming know-how to survive and discover your destiny!
Oldschool gamers may find The Quest reminiscent of a combination of The Bard’s Tale and Dungeon Master–not quite real-time, first-person 3D.
See Chillingo’s gameplay video for a closer look.
The Quest is currently in beta and we expect it to be released in the very near future. We’ll take a closer look when the game hits the App Store. Users who want to get a rough feel for the iPhone version can download a free trial version of the game for Windows, Palm, and Pocket PC at Chillingo’s ClickGamer game page.
The Quest is being discussed in a lengthy forum thread started by Chillingo.
