Beast Quest
SCORE: 68
We play a young man in Beast Quest who is
on a mission to save Avantia from an evil warlock. This evil warlock has
cursed the Four Beasts. A good mage comes to our aid as our quest
begins. It is so easy to mock Beast Quest on so many levels. The
graphics are outdated, the storyline is cliched, and the voice acting is
laughable. I looked beyond the superficial problems with Beast Quest.
The Beast Quest video game attaches itself to the books. Fans of the
books may get into the video game. We have two attacks, one defense, and
a build up of both attacks for a more powerful one. We can also dodge
left and right to avoid getting hit in most instances. There are battles
in narrow areas where we can not move around. We see the enemies on the
screen and can only avoid them by going around.
The issues families will have with Beast Quest are violence, magic, bad
attempts at humor and more. There are plenty of quests for us to do in
Beast Quest. There are also plenty of chests to open. The one issue with
the chests is we need one key per chest. This means I left plenty of
chests never opened. Which is fine since most of them just gave me a
small amount of gold.
As we battle in Beast Quest we earn skill points. Those can be redeemed
for better magical attacks, and improvements on the characters stats.
This is really light in Beast Quest. I learned to move around a lot in
the battles to avoid taking any damage. Families can skip through the
cut scenes if they so desire. I did at times because the plot lines are
predictable.
After I finished laughing at Beast Quest quite a bit I started noticing
something. This home console role playing video game has charm. Sure it
only lasts for around six hours. Beast Quest is lighter on the offensive
content than most action adventure role playing games. I kept coming
back to Beast Quest because for some reason I enjoyed working my way
through the game.
