The game plays as a fairly slow-paced isometric dungeon crawler. The music has a nice folklore-inspired theme to it, which compliments the art style nicely. But don’t worry, there are also plenty of stone dungeons to explore and discover the treasures within. While the world is covered in darkness you spend a lot of time in nice green outdoor spaces. In fact, here it’s a weird blob creature with an extraordinary nose. There’s a wide variety of enemy designs, and it’s refreshing to start a dungeon crawler where the very first enemy is not a rat. The graphics are simple but colourful 3D models. There are many dialogue options which may lead you down interesting routes. With all these options, it does make Quest Hunter a game well worth replaying to discover the different outcomes of the choices you make.

You start the game by creating a character. Let’s explore whether this is a gem worth digging up or if it should remain buried. Quest Hunter is a title which aims to bring dungeon-crawling fun to the entire family. And the Switch just seems like the perfect platform for it too, as you can prop the system up on a picnic table in a park, throw a controller at someone (with a heads up, though), and play outside while dog walkers look at you baffled. Go alone or bring some friends to increase the fun it’s all good. There’s really nothing quite like running into dungeons and searching for loot inside while taking on all sorts of beasties. One of my favourite niche genres in gaming is the top-down dungeon crawler. Review code used, with many thanks to 2 Zombie Games. System: Nintendo Switch (also on PC and Xbox one) ![]()
