Milo’s Quest
SCORE: 75
There are days I cringe at another indie
game coming into Family Friendly Gaming. I have to motivate myself to
play another retro looking indie title. Maybe it has something to do
with I won’t get paid for my hard work that makes other people money. I
don’t know. What I do know is Milo’s Quest is a charming indie retro
title that surprised me. I was not expecting this from Milo’s Quest.
The best way to think of Milo’s Quest is the original Legend of Zelda
video game on the NES. We have puzzles to solve, items to find, and
enemies to vanquish. Some gates are opened by taking out all of the
enemies. Other gates are beaten by finding a certain key. Bosses have
easy to identify patterns in Milo’s Quest. When you leave a screen it
scrolls to the next one. Unless it needs to load the next area.
This dog finds a bone and when he gets the bone, he releases an evil
spirit. That spirit sends out all of these ghosts. The player must find
items that allow him to move blocks (glove), bash enemies (helmet), and
more. Milo’s Quest gets progressively more difficult as players explore
the areas. The longer I played Milo’s Quest the more I wanted to see of
this indie game. How often does that happen.
We collect bones in Milo’s Quest. They are used at certain gates to
purchase our way past. Once you spend bones on those gates they are down
forever. The same goes for other gates in this game. If you unlock an
area, leave, and come back you are not required to redo all of that
work. The enemies will respawn. So will the bones in all of those
bushes. Milo’s Quest can be played in adventure mode, puzzle mode, or
adventure and puzzle combined.
The music is nice in this bright and colorful 8-bit looking video game.
We can see what keys we are getting and what they unlock. Enemies are
also very discernable. Milo’s Quest is a forty-four meg download. Pretty
small in terms of modern video games. I enjoyed my time with Milo’s
Quest on the Nintendo Switch. Milo’s Quest is also on the PS Vita,
Playstation 4, and Xbox One.
