SnarfQuest Tales

Purchased the Red Box at DragonCon 2015. Have been without a PC to play for several years. Just recently fixed machine and had a chance to play. If I knew going into this that the game had not been finished and only Episode 1 was available, I would be less disappointed. Well I did not know that development had stopped until I hit the end of Episode 1, and that was all that could be payed. I enjoyed being in the world pulled from the comic strip while it lasted. Wish there was more. Would recommend if the game had more content, but at it's current price point I cannot.

An interesting point and click adventure game that could have been good if it was ever completed. (I doubt it'll ever leave early access, no updates in 8 years) It is a decent and faithful point and click adaptation of the Snarfquest comic by Larry Elmore (The famous early Dnd and Dragonlance artist), but this game was abandoned after episode 1 despite exceeding it's kickstarter goal. It was last updated in 2017, since which there has been complete silence from. (Besides a random facebook post in 2020). To add insult to injury, there are also some puzzles that are very buggy and may require you to restart the level, aka 1/5th of the game. There is about 3.5 hours of content here and it has the first 5 levels of the planned 25, up to before entering Suthaze's tower. (The 6th level is the one with all the castle and dragon screenshots and was a alpha demo released in 2015 for the kickstarter. That demo is no longer available and has been replaced with a demo of level 1 on their website, which you can download after submitting your email.) Again, it is a decent point and click, the puzzles are straightforward (as in there are no crazy leaps of logic) and have a lot of variety thoug…

So disappointed - I am a big fan of the comic and Elmore. I have a signed copy of the book, in fact, and it's a treasure in my collection. But this game....very buggy and hasn't been updated since 2017? It is completely dead, don't buy it. Shame on the developers for having this for sale still when they know it's dead and a disaster.

Sadly dead and abandoned game based on a comic I really enjoyed. The rest of the chapters will not be released.

Fun game that brings back the flavor of the old SnarfQuest comics that Larry Elmore did for Dragon magazine. I might not be the most action packed game, but still great fun seeing and interacting with all of those characters.

Classic point-and-click gameplay with plenty of puzzles and snark.
