Chillingo Ltd has just launched an 3D RPG game called The Quest ,it features an engaging and sinister world full of mystery, magic and provocative challenges. The game reminds you of an Oblivion game , with it’s complexity and depth of the characters .
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!



PRO’s:
- offers many hours of gameplay
- fps-like view with continuously rendered 3D graphics
- ambient visual and sound effects
- day and night cycles with weather effects
- a huge, complex, living world with underground levels
- long and provocative main storyline
- dozens of interesting side missions
- optional undead race with different abilities
- complex magic, enchant and alchemy system
- primary and secondary skills
- advanced dialogue system
- readable books, pickable locks, repairable items
- race-, gender-, fame- and outfit-based relationships

CON’s:
- graphics are quite poor, very 90’s looking
- leveling is very hard because all the quests are very scattered
- hard to find quest givers and vendors
- music is repetitive
- an accelerometer / simplified key interface would make for better controlling the character


It is available at the App Store for 5.99$ , not very pricey taking into account the many hours of gameplay it offers, that is if u don’t mind the graphics.
