We're back in business in April, with the newest Quest Club! This coming month, we have Shane's list! Let's see what we're working with this month, shall we?

#1:
The Hero's Memory by Aevin

Estimated Playtime: 8-10 Hours
 

Aevin's debut quest. It is a love letter to the Legend of Zelda series packaged in a modernised first quest experience. Explore an original overworld to find dungeons that hearken back to the classic Zelda titles.

#2:
I Am Bored by Theryan

Estimated Playtime: 4-5 Hours
 

Are you bored? Then this miniquest made out of boredom might be for you! It features a few major and mini dungeons found in a sizeable and colourful world.

 #3:
Summoning War by Shosci

Estimated Playtime: 6-8 Hours
 

A nonlinear 'Mega Man' styled miniquest where your order can make the difference between an ideal or challenging playthrough. Has a lot of neat features from custom items to a day/night cycle.

#4:
The Slipstream by Joaish (RedTribeLink)

Estimated Playtime: 5-6 Hours
 

A really cool Metroidvania where you travel across a bunch of realms and assemble quirky items. There are fancy systems in place, including elemental driven combat and a leveling system. Comes with a postgame too.

#5:
Isolation! by MattB

Estimated Playtime: 4-5 Hours
 

A short but punchy Metroidvania using the much-underused Dance of Remembrance tileset. Explore an island with an interconnected dungeon beneath it and find the means of escape.

#6:
SCKnuckles Worst Nightmare by Eddy

Estimated Playtime: 8-10 Hours
 

A comfy, standard Gameboy quest starring SCKnuckles on a journey to save the other Let's Players from the clutches of an evil entity...

Lots of stuff on the fairly average size this time around, which should make for any of these being a chill Quest Club. I'm excited to see what you all would like to see!

Goddamn, this is a really good selection. Real hard to pick - any of these would be fantastic.

 

I'm tempted to go to bat for the two of these I've played and love - The Hero's Memory was great and tends to be underappreciated these days compared to his later work, and I Am Bored is my favorite of all the quests to come out of the sort of early 2010s Classic tileset miniquest boom - but Summoning War has a really fascinating concept going for it, too.

 

Hey, wait, is Isolation! sort of like a proto-Basilischi? Did that dude really beat us to the punch by 9 years? The idea of one huge interconnected dungeon is really, really cool, especially if it has multiple entry points.

 

Uh, I guess I have to vote for one. I feel like Isolation! is actually the one I'm most interested in, weirdly. The Hero's Memory would probably be my second pick. Sometimes I wish Quest Club had preferential voting.

Actually what am I saying, I Am Bored is my second pick. Not that it matters, of course, but, still. I forgot how much I loved that one and have been yearning to replay it.

A poll will be made sometimes this week, but I'm gonna go ahead and lock things in now!

 

Get excited for this month, as we will be doing The Hero's Memory for Quest Club throughout April!
