The rules are light, but not in a good way. More an untested kind of way.

The Defence mechanism is odd and not explained well; why buy a shield if armor functions better? There's no stacking, common to the sword-and-board warrior in armor mentality. On top of that, a warrior in regular armor can only be hit on a 4 exactly; no regular encounters give a bonus to hit you. I rolled magic armor on my third encounter, meaning I could no longer be hurt until fighting the dragon (and even then the dragon can't hit you, only hurt you with fire)! How is that balanced or fun?!

This also CAN be played solo, but there's no race. Locked doors and getting lost means nothing. And with the above mentioned, you can just grind until you get magic items and enough money to buy 5-6 full heals and then "win" the game.

Still, as someone else said, this was free so I can't complain too much. There's just some serious room for improvement.

Keel Game! If you think this game is too minimal I think you missed the point.

Battle Quest is a simple duneon crawler and is in no way an RPG. It uses some simmilar, but not the same, elements as in Warhammer Quest. But lacks the depth of combat. In fact the combat feels more akin to Tunnels & Trolls. but without even that systems depth.

That said it is a viable little solo game that does not require a map even. I think that with a little more fleshing out it has potential. But if you want a relatively light no-board crawler then give it a whirl.

You get what you pay for...

This was mentioned by the author as "inspired by Warhammer Quest." If this was all the inspiration they got, they missed something when they played that fantastic game.

Layout was good, writing was clear, but the game system itself was very lacking. Four basic fantasy tropes stumbling into random encounters. It didn't feel like there was any meat to the system. I was hoping for a more of a story or world to get sucked into, but there just istn't anything to latch onto, no hook to real me in and keep me interested.

Still, it was free, so I'm not going to loudly complain.

A simple encounter-based game that is playable with minimum setup and learning time. I'm not sure if I'm missing something but spellcasting seems a little weak (or expensive, depending on how you view it.) Although the game is playable by 1 to 4 people, I think it really is fun with 3-4 as the tension from choosing between exploring a bit more or trying to complete the game before someone else does becomes greater. For solo play there are other options, including Chronicles of Arax from the same publisher.

This game is an excellent down load and go game. It is very easy to learn and an extremely simple system. My family and I love it.

If you are going to play Battle Quest, then here are some simple things to make the game that much easier.

I made up some spell cards, character cards, treasure cards, and encounter cards. This was easier to organize and only took a few minutes. Other than that, after a few times of playing you submit the information to memory. That is how truly simple the game play actually becomes.

It is simple and fast paced, great game.

How to change mindless dice rolling into fun? Try Battle Quest. It will not replace any RPG, but can engage You for few hours! Looks nice and it is worth it's price :) I will wait for expansions - hope they will make Battle Quest more diverse
