Good, but not really turn based.

This game has a lot to recommend it. Good writing, nice (cartoonish) graphics, nicely chosen music and it's different enough to be interesting without being weird. And halloween themed games aren't exactly overdone at the moment either, which really helps this game stand out from the crowd. That said, I play turn based games because I don't have the good reflexes needed for other kinds of games. While the combat in this game really is turn based, it also includes timing elements which are difficult for people like me. And other people who are fine with hitting specific buttons at specific times might be put off by the interruptions the turn based nature of combat imposes. This mix of styles may well appeal to some, but I can't help thinking the developers would have been better off going with either fully turn based combat or fully real time (possibly with optional pauses). Kudos to the developers for trying something a bit different, but in my case, it just doesn't work.

Fun, original RPG with lots of nostalgia

I've always been someone who loves Halloween, and probably always will be. So, it should be no surprise that when I found out about Costume Quest, I was pretty excited. However, since I'm cheap, I never really thought about buying it until now (GoG is selling it for $1.99 as of 2015/06/12). I picked it up, and it is quite a fun little thing. It's an RPG first thing, with turn-based battling that actually reminds me a bit of Pokémon. That will make no sense if you've never played it, but trust me, it makes sense when you play it, and it works beautifully. The design of the game is really something else. I've never seen a game made like this, the games art, though limiting through hand-drawn-looking art, is quite expressive and fun to look at. The orange colours everywhere remind me of Halloween, and that makes me happy. The narrative of the game is actually funny. There are several characters who are there to deliver humourous lines, and they do so. It actually made me crack a smile, which doesn't happen too commonly with games! Performance is fine. 30FPS cap, but that really isn't too big of a deal. Overall, if you're a Halloween lover like myself, you'll like, or even love this game. Even if you're not a Halloween lover, you may still find some enjoyment out of the enjoyable Pokémon-like battle sequences. 9.5/10

Nice game, boo-tiful settings

I completed this earlier and I found it really enjoyable. It's a double fine game and plays like one in that the game design makes the gameplay continually interesting, fights can be repetitive at times and obtaining costumes can be tricky but I wasn't so put off by this, you can usually run away from fights without issue. The game has a nice feel to it, it's as Halloween-like as it gets and is perfect for the occassion. The dialogue is funny and it's an all round nice game, good for anyone age wise and highly enjoyable. I took about 10 hours to complete the game, it's a good length, if you do want more then there's kind of a second game in there too called Grubbins on Ice, but to be honest I've barely touched this one.

great game for kids

This game is great for kids, it is a bit repetitive in the gameplay but has a nice immersive story. My main criticism would be that some uninterruptible animations and lack of a fast forward buttons instead of interrupting the story cutscenes. Note to Arch Linux and Manjaro users, if the game fails to start with a mising driver error, you should edit start.sh and change the lib_path32 to the following: local lib_path32="/usr/lib/"

Play it every Halloween!

This is the first video game I have ever played to perfectly encapsulate the joy of trick or treating and the sense of adventure as a kid on Halloween night. The characters are lovable, the costumes are fun and the collecting will keep you engaged. Battles get a bit repetitive, but are usually very short.
