Turn-Based Retro RPG ‘QuestLord 2’ Hits the App Store Next Week

The original QuestLord ($5.99) hit the App Store in 2013, which we reviewed not long after release. The neat thing about QuestLord is/was that for genre which typically is the crème de la crème of hardcore RPGs, QuestLord is oddly approachable. When I see one of these first person retro turn-based RPGs, my first thoughts are along the lines of, “I’m sure someone will love this, I probably won’t." That wasn’t the case at all for QuestLord, which I always really liked. Shaun also dug into the game in an RPG Reload, we’ve got a tips article, and even did an RPG Reload Replay. You could say we liked QuestLord quite a bit around here.

Well, we’ve got fabulous news. You can add one more massive game to look forward to next week as QuestLord 2 also hits the App Store on the 18th. From everything we can tell from its web site, QuestLord 2 looks to be exactly what we like to see out of a sequel: Taking everything that was great about the original and vastly expanding it. It’ll be $6.99 when it launches, and hopefully the sequel sees the same popularity and success of the original.

    Enjoyed The Quest very much, but I find movement in these grid based fp rpgs just too much of a chore.
    I'd really like something that played like the "Might & Magic" games, with similar game mechanics, but free roaming camera....
    Might and Magic VI on iOS would be brill!

    Legit been waiting 5 years for this sequel and have been checking for news on it constantly. QuestLord is such a good game and an awesome mix of old school charm and modern sensibility. The release trailer shows some great navigation and UI improvements too. Loving the new art. I absolutely cannot wait to play this!!

    I loved 1. Love this style of game. 2 looks way more fleshed out. Can’t wait to buy, and right on time for the holidays!

    On a side note, the very last part of 1 seemed impossible. I remember getting to the final tower and having about enough power to get one or two mobs from the end. No way to earn more money. I mustve missed something. I’ll have to try again :)
