EvilQuest

EvilQuest is a retro ARPG that is simple, but also entertains in the right ways. The gameplay has both melee and magic, a lot of different enemies and bosses, many different regions, and just enough length to keep it entertaining but not boring. The story itself is pretty nonsense, but honestly I didn't care much for or about that. if you are into old school ARPGs, this can be a chill couple hours for you. I am also reviewing this in 2026, so there is already a bit of age bias for this game now, so I would honestly have enjoyed this game even more if I played it closer to when it released.

Ever played the NES game Crystalis? Well, it plays like that. Although the depictions of "evil" are for you to decide.

Received this little gem as a gift. This is a fun quest to become the ultimate evil. 9/10

This game is my childhood. Owned and beat it on another steam account, then bought this when I lost the password to that one. I should give it another go

At $2, EvilQuest is a surprisingly solid retro action RPG that scratches that classic Crystalis/Zelda itch — playing as Galvis, a completely unrepentant villain out to destroy the world, is a genuinely fun twist on the genre even if his one-note murderous personality wears thin by the end. The gameplay loop of towns, overworlds, and dungeons is formulaic but competent, with responsive controls and boss fights that actually have some mechanics to them. The magic system is a bit unbalanced — Cure 3 basically trivializes the late game — and the whole thing wraps up in about 4-5 hours, but for the asking price that's hard to complain about. If you grew up on NES/SNES action RPGs and want a brief, dark-humored trip down memory lane, it's worth the two bucks.

You should make a sequel. I Recommend it. I remember this, I think from xbox 360 arcade. Good fun.
