Sudoku Quest

I originally bought this for my wife, as she loves solving Sudoku puzzles... and she more or less forgot that the game existed after a single play-though. I thought to myself, "Hey, maybe its just that she's not as into gaming as I am. I'll give it a try". Nope. It's just a fundamentally boring experience all in all. If you want to play Sudoku, I would suggest just doing so in the weekly newspaper rather than paying for this. 2/10

★★★★★ – PLAYSTYLE ★★★☆☆ – ART ★★★☆☆ – MUSIC/SOUNDS ★★★★☆ – DOABLE ACHIEVEMENTS For a Sudoku it's a nice one. You have three different kinds of sudoku's you can choose from. So boosts you can use in a Sudoku, the possibilty to add the possible numbers etc. As for the achievements, they are doable however some are a bit of a grind. Not the best game for achievement hunting.

Sudoku Quest developed and published by Harbinger Beard is an attempt to take the timeless logic of Sudoku and reframe it within a more game-like structure, layering progression systems, variant puzzles, and light mechanics on top of the classic formula. Rather than presenting Sudoku as a collection of standalone grids, it tries to build a sense of continuity and advancement, giving players reasons to keep moving forward beyond the satisfaction of solving individual puzzles. The result is a hybrid experience that sits somewhere between a traditional puzzle app and a lightly gamified progression system. The centerpiece of the game is its Adventure mode, which organizes puzzles into a sequence that players complete in order. This structure introduces a sense of progression that is uncommon in standard Sudoku formats, where puzzles are typically isolated. Here, each board contributes to forward movement, and mistakes carry consequences through a health-like system that penalizes incorrect entries. This adds a layer of tension, encouraging players to think carefully rather than rely on guesswork. It subtly shifts the tone of the experience from purely contemplative to something slight…

Buggy Sudoku with non-unique solutions.

This is a nice version of Sudoku, with interesting variations. What I like: Positives are a range of achievements to that give an additional goal to game-play, some useful power-ups that let you play the way you want to, a nice look and feel to the artwork and an easy to use interface on PC. I particularly like the variation with coloured blocks overlayed across the grids, so you need to take an extra set of boundaries into account. On the most part, its enjoyable to play. What I dont like: The more advanced levels have overlapping grids. These are too large to be displayed on the screen at once, and you need to click & drag the screen to see the grids. I also find these grids hard to complete without the power-up that pencils in the possible options. It's a bit hard to describe. Instead of a traditional grid of 3 x 3 boxes, these give the player two 'overlapping; puzzles that share some grids where the puzzles overlap, so you may have a grid of say 5 boxes x 3 boxes through the middle. Logically, each block of 3 boxes should have numbers 1 to 9 in them. Yet in Sudoku Quest, you can have the same number appear twice in a block of 3 - depending on where the game is drawing the …

I liked the variety of puzzles, helpfulness of the power-ups, and the easy viewing of the color palette. However, I struggled with the sound effects, remembering the power-up effects, and the possibility of multiple solutions to puzzles. I did not experience it myself, but other users have reported crashes with certain software drivers. I recommend Sudoku Quest to players looking for a simple endless Sudoku game that are willing to forgive it the multiple s…
