Quest’s characters can each be built a variety of different ways depending on what role you want them to fill.
The battle system kept me constantly thinking about what to do next and which move was best.

Quest’s card crafting can be discouragingly expensive, but it thankfully never felt like I needed to grind to progress.
The Verdict
SteamWorld Quest is far more of an RPG than it is a card game, but its deck-building twists offer an insane amount of gameplay choice. Its charming characters have tons of individual strategies to explore, which are then influenced by who else is in your party, and again by what cards you actually draw and the order you play them. Because of limited enemy variety and level design, it doesn’t change a whole lot throughout the campaign unless you actively play around with your combat options, but doing so is endlessly rewarding. Its simplified deckbuilding makes Quest an RPG that’s as accessible as it is flexible, and it’s one worth playing even if you don’t care about card games at all.
