## Dream Quest Description
Play cards!  Kill monsters!  Level Up!

Dream Quest is a roguelike deckbuilding game inspired by the likes of Ascension, Magic: the Gathering, and Shandalar.  Explore randomly generated levels as one of 13 classes in short, 30 minute, sessions.  One floor might find your wizard in the crypt, another your warrior underwater, and a third, your assassin stalking a volcanic wasteland.  As you progress, your characters earn achievements, each making your future runs a little easier or more interesting.

Combat is a card game.  Your abilities are a deck of cards that you develop as you gain power. For example, a thief starts with a handful of Slice cards and a Backstab, but can learn defensive moves like Dodge or powerful finishing moves like Coup de Grace.  Carefully choosing which cards to add to your deck is the heart of the game: wise choices will find you slicing through monsters while poor ones will leave you tripping over your own two feet.

Features:
•14 different classes, with wildly different play styles
•Over 300 cards, ranging from the defensive Kick and Armor to the devastating Meteor and Curse of Doom
•More than 70 monsters carefully catalogued in the Bestiary as you encounter them
•Infinite replayability – easily 50 hours to see the majority of the content
•No In App Purchases – the price of the game is the price of the game.  Everything is unlocked only by playing.

Reviews of Version 1.0 have been fantastic!  Examples include:

"Don't be fooled by its simplistic stick-figure art – Dream Quest brings together roguelike dungeon-crawling and deckbuilding to create a truly unique challenge"
-IGN

"This game is really one of a kind. The mix between rogue-like and cards is really well done...Kudos to the dev for such an innovative and challenging game"
-Mike32, TouchArcade

"If you can get past the simplistic graphics, you're looking at a very interesting, strategic game. I've already lost a few hours to it - the kind of hours where you wonder where the time went. Outstanding game!"
-Citronaut

## Dream Quest Reviews in United States

### ***** "due for update"
hey peter, i been waiting since before the pandemic for the update. and ill never stop waiting
-- Vlouie, 2024-10-22

### ***** "Brilliant Game"
No update in 7 years, runs like a charm. Still one of the best games available on iOS. No gambling influenced in-game economy with in-app purchases; just addictive and creative gameplay. Part card game, board game, dungeon crawl rpg, and puzzle game all in one.  Unique and satisfying. (Yes, there is an in-game economy but you cannot spend real money.)
-- Brautigan25, 2024-09-03

### ***** "My Favorite Game of All Time"
If you like Slay the Spire, meet its inspiration.
-- bargeymon, 2024-03-16

### ***** "Must buy"
So much fun, especially on a long plane ride. Would recommend to anyone for a good strategy dungeon game.
-- jdjduduendndjd, 2023-11-18

### ***** "Amazing"
I play a LOT or roguelike/card battler type games and this is one of my favorites. It has been one of a few games I bother to keep installed on my phone for years
-- BrokenBrik, 2023-09-08

### ***** "Please make a dream quest 2!"
My most played game, and I’ve had this game for years and still play it daily. So much fun and challenging.
-- Timbo1111, 2022-09-23

### ***** "Best Rogue-like Deck Builder!"
Honestly I haven’t been able to put my phone down since installing the game! Slay the Spire was definitely inspired by this game.
Once you get past the charming art style the mechanics are amazing!
-- Why cart, 2022-07-27

### *---- "Overrated and Frustrating"
This a cute but undercooked game jam kind of jam that feels more like a proof of concept than a finished product. I don't mind the graphics, but the game has a serious problem with perceivable consequence. It just does a very poor job of conveying WHY something is happening and what (if anything) the player could have done to prevent it- you'll be doing great, then 2 or 3 rounds in a row you'll just start your turn with no cards in your hand and there'll be absolutely nothing you can do about it except let the enemy pick your health down to nothing. Game over. 

The incremental progress from the countless unlocks (I swear I've never even seen some of the cards I've supposedly unlocked) begins to feel like nothing as you bash your head against the random number generator just hoping the next ~40 minutes won't turn out to be a complete waste of time, because (for instance) the dungeon just didn't spawn any healing locations on your side of an elite enemy that's 2 levels higher than you.

There' an easy mode, but I can hardly see the point because playing it locks you out of any kind of achievement or progress and still puts you in unwinnable situations.

I have to respect what the designer did here, but it just needs SO MUCH work in terms of not randomly sticking players into unwinnable situations when they've nothing wrong that I just can't see myself recommending it to anybody. It's just not fun or rewarding to play. This game's 4.6 star rating is utterly baffling to me. Maybe an older version had some feature that's now missing that mitigated the game's problems? Or maybe it just feels a lot worse when you play it after later deck-building roguelites that iterated on the concept? I honestly have no idea. Buying this game is functionally paying money to have a program waste a ton of your time making you slightly annoyed.
-- pug tho, 2022-07-10

### *---- "Oof"
I loved slay the spire, I was told to play this game. I gave it a shot for a few hours and it was utterly disappointing. Complete waste of time for me. I can definitely see where Slay the spire got some of its influence. But this? God awful game. This game appears to be quite heavily luck based instead of skill. There’s little point in even saving cards for use later. Complete slog. Press play all press hourglass rinse wash repeat. An idle clicker game has more depth than this.
-- Dantebelmoste, 2022-04-05

### ***** "Surprisingly Very Fun!"
I was skeptical at first but decided to give it a try. Glad I did! One of my favorite purchases now!
