Lacks depth and variety
This game is essentially a JRPG with a card based battle system. This sounded great for me, because I really like both genres. From the JRPG part, I expect interesting story & exploration. From the card based battle system, I expect interesting mechanics. After around one hour in, I was quite pleased with SteamWorld Quest, because it seemed to tick all of those boxes. However, now after finishing the game after 15 hours, I am very disappointed, because the game severely lacks depth and variety in every aspect: while there is a story, it fails to be compelling. While there is some exploration, the layout of all maps is the same where there is only variety in where the exit is placed - sometimes, there is a hidden exit which leads to some item. The progression is strictly linear, there is only a battle arena side quest later in the game offering optional rewards. On the other hand, the battle mechanics are dull. While there are a lot of cards, there are only very few combos or synergies between the different characters. Using them does not really matter or is required to beat the game. In addition, the game discourages the player from switching between the characters because stand-by characters gain a lower amount of experience making them a weaker choice. In the end, I only used the same characters with very similar abilities. On a positive side, I liked the art style and the soundtrack.
