RPG Quest - Minimæ App Reviews

If your looking for a classic, this is it. Brought back from the commadore 64, this game has amazing sound, great graphics for 8-bit, and a great storyline. On your search for 8 sacred rings, you must battle your way into towns for your next clue on where to go, battling harder monsters each time. If your looking for something that will keep you up for hours, this is the game for you! Though it may be frustrating to some people, you need patience and you need to know how to spend your money. You need to choos the perfect route to the correct town, and most of all, you need some imagination. I highly recommend getting this amazing creation

The whole game is base on "exploring" bit every 10 pixels you move a monster attacks you. The fighting is horrible too: Attack Youve been hit! Attack Youve been hit! Attack Youve been hit! Attack Youve been hit! You died! No point in "exploring" when you always have to go back to your village to get health. Good graphics though. The music is cool because it is NES style but it gets really annoying after the first 30 minutes of listening to the same 15 second toon over and over and over again.

This app is wonderful! The people who complain obviously thought they were buying a PS3 or Xbox360 level of graphics game or they just dont upgrade their swords. I have no complaints. I just wish that you could heal yourself in combat without sleeping because I cant get a few steps from the castle without getting hassled by a scorpion and taking damage, then take a few more steps, get attacked and have to retreat back to the castle for health. Hopefully, healing without having to go into a town will be possible in the sequel, which I am looking forward to. But this isnt a large problem for me because I constantly upgrade my sword to have an advantage over my enemy. Overall, a great classic.

Great game, if anyone ever played dragon warrior for the original nintendo its just like it but with a lil less options, like weapons and monsters. Fun game though

This app is great! A pretty good RPG but doesnt have enough to confuse you. Keeps you coming back and it easy to pick up and play. One of my favorite apps

Needs more things to do in battle, like magic and skills.

This game is pointless no fun buying weapons only upgrading. Pointless annoying fights.This game is a sad excuse for a rpg

I love this!!! Brings back memories.. Ive Made it to " secret town" cant wait for a sequel, hope you have one in mind. Anyone that rates it less than 5 must be still sucking on mommas titty and used to the x box or ps that momma bought them. Old school games are the bomb-- wish I could find more like this!! Keep on keeping on guys! Now, wheres my sequel?!!

I love this game its so awesome. But now on ios 5.0.1 ipod touch 4 it has some sound stutters. Nothing much, but if you fix i will give 5 stars

Good rpg but too short

My favorite game when i was a kid and now i can take it with me where ever i go definately worth every penny!

I was happy to see an update for this adding new content

Not the most fun Ive had with an RPG, but I liked the twist. It was a nice novelty. I dont plan on looking for the rest of the secrets unless an update comes along with more monsters and weapons.

I cant find the other "witness" near the end of world 1. Ive searched every town twice. Ive found one guy in one of the earlier towns, but not the other! Any location help would be appreciated.

I dont know why it only has 3 stars. Its like an old gameboy zelda game. Worth 1.99

1 suggestion: put a d-pad on the screen. Its really annoying without it. Good game other than that.

I just bought this game this week and its pretty fabulous. Its really interesting, and I like the secret town, secret stashes of cash, and the quest for books. I like it a lot, its one of those game Ill replay. If you like old school video game graphics, and are looking for a fun game that isnt so difficult it leaves you frustrated, then this is the game for you!

Just bought this game solely because I was looking for a retro RPG that I could play in portrait mode when meetings at work go long and dont require me or my attention. And this is great! Already looking forward to the sequel. I do wish there was more leveling up because I love grinding with purpose and for experience. But for a minimal RPG, you nailed it. Thanks for continually listening to players feedback and updating so much. Teams like P1XL and Muteki keep me gaming!

If you buy Minimae with the assumption that it will be just like your favorite 80s or early 90s RPG, you are going to be let down. Youll find that the battle and item systems are bare-bones, and there is no magic system at all. You can consider this a failure or a feature, depending on whether you consider the game an attempt to completely recreate the feel of a retro RPG or an attempt to create a new kind of game that is an homage to retro RPGs. I prefer to view it as the latter. The exploration aspect of the game is very strong. There is a huge overworld to explore, containing a number of towns, caves, and invisible piles of gold. The game keeps track of how many piles of gold you have found, and they are hidden on suspicious-looking tiles (such as a tile of grassland surrounded by forest), so hunting for all of these can be an entertaining exercise. Inside towns, there are sometimes hidden pathways, leading to NPCs and --in one case-- a minigame. Speaking of NPCs, I found the NPCs lines quite entertaining (ocassionally hilarious -- I literally laughed aloud at a number of them). You seem to have at least one of every kind of NPC here: the plot dispenser, the instruction manual, the Engrish guy, Sir Talks a Lot, the inside joke, and --of course-- the guy whose line has nothing to do with anything...among others. The music is excellent. The graphics are, for the most part, very good; however, some of the enemy sprites look like they are a completely different style from each other and the rest of the game. The basic controls are excellent, though some of the more complex controls added in v1.2 are not explained in-game (a little TOO retro for me!) The auto-save feature is a spot-on insertion of modernity.

This is a simpler take on classic RPGs. Great fun in a minimalist package, and plenty of silliness throughout.
