About Xploquest
- The extra terrestrials exist
- They play Xploquest
For this reason and answering the growing demand (a friend asked for it yesterday), Xploquest finally arrives on Steam.
Yes, you read correctly. Our teams (me and myself) worked hard to offer Xploquest on Windows, Mac and Linux.
But what is Xploquest?
Xploquest has all the features of indie game:
- It’s ugly but with a lot of charm
- It’s cheap
- It’s played like an old game but with a current interface
- It’s done with love
What else?
Xploquest is a retro RPG inspired by the greatest:
- Ultima
- Might & Magic
- Legend of Zelda
- Dragon's eye
The moves are tile-based and fighting is turn based. You explore the world freely and discover new places, dungeons and caves.
Okay, but what are the real assets?
Ok you want something concrete:
- It’s hard, the game only saves when you're in a city. If you explore without being ready, you may die very quickly.
- No tiresome scenario, endless dialogs with tasteless NPCs. In Xploquest, you are alone, you do what you want, as you want.
- A clear quest system. When you accept a quest, it appears on the map. (xploquest 2)
- Perfect for both long and short game sessions.
- You can give up Xploquest for weeks and come back without wondering what to do. In addition, the game will not blame you for this absence.
- You can play other RPG at the same time.
- Perfect for a break.
Well, I'm intrigued and almost interested. I need an argument that kills.
Easy, I kept the best for last:
In Xploquest, as in any role-playing game, you earn gold. The difference with others is that you can spend it.
Whether it's equipment, skills, food, potions or scrolls, you'll have to pay.
Fights only bring in experience and gold, the chess contain gold (and maybe something else for some.
No more depressed to have millions of gold coins without being able to spend them.
In Xploquest, managing your gold is a very important aspect of the game.
I am convinced. Last question: is there a goal?
Yes the game ends when you have explored all the floors of the tower. For this you will have to find the 10 keys that will unlock each floor.
It's perfect. The final word ?
It's free, guaranteed without advertising and without in-app purchase.
I developed the game, it's up to you now.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Xploquest is a free RPG that offers solid progression systems and strategic depth with diverse races and factions that encourage varied playstyles, but players find the combat somewhat repetitive and the map design lacking in variety. While some appreciate the retro aesthetic and resource management mechanics, others find the experience bland without sufficient narrative hook or engaging pacing to sustain interest. Players generally view it as worth trying given the free-to-play nature, though opinions are mixed on whether it delivers a compelling experience compared to modern standards.
Great free RPG. Good progression but slightly boring combat.1 found this helpful
Игра 'Xploquest' оказалась приятным сюрпризом в жанре пошаговых стратегий. Простая на первый взгляд графика скрывает под собой глубокий и продуманный геймплей. Разнообразие рас с уникальными особенностями и юнитами вынуждает адаптировать стратегию под каждого противника, делая каждую партию непохожей на предыдущую. Особенно порадовала система развития поселений и добычи ресурсов. Она организована интуитивно понятно, но при этом предлагает достаточно пространства для тактического маневра. Возможность исследовать новые технологии и улучшать свои армии добавляет игре реиграбельности и мотивации к дальнейшему прохождению. Однако, стоит отметить некоторую однообразность в дизайне карт. Хотелось бы больше уникальных ландшафтов и неожиданных событий, которые могли бы разнообразить игровой процесс. В целом, 'Xploquest' - это достойная игра для любителей жанра, предлагающая часы увлекательного геймплея и стратегических головоломок, несмотря на небольшие недостатки. Рекомендую к ознакомлению всем, кто ищет несложную, но захватывающую пошаговую стратегию.1 found this helpful
Short length retro rpg game of the '80s. I was looking forward to a walk down memory lane. Instead, I found it boring. Maybe it was the lack of sufficient backstory, to make me care. Maybe it was something with the progression balance. Though some of the old games were notoriously unbalanced, but they were games 50+ years old. Game design philosophy has evolved in the half century. Not sure.
