Rage Quest

TLDR: Rage Quest offers a unique and complex battle system that has a bit of a learning curve but is challenging and rewarding to play. Rage Quest is a game with a simple story and complex gameplay. The game itself is relatively short and took me 6-7 hours to get through when trying to finish all the content. Although the story is dry and parts of the game is clunky and slightly unintuitive the meat of the game, the battle system, is fun and satisfying.
