Plebby Quest is fun little world conquering game based in the medieval period. Turned-based and every turn you're limited on how much you can do based on the number of generals you have available, which are also limited by your kingdom size and research level. Game can really suck you in quick. However, there are a few flaws that one may not be able to get past. First, the scenario game, which is supposed to be the "how-to play" trainer is rather annoying. Lot's of little scenes that you have to sit through in order to play the game. You are supposed to be able to quickly go through these scenes by holding CTRL. The problem is that you also have to press the space bar to move the dialogue along. Then ESC key to exit the scene when finished. You can skip scenes but run the risk of missing vital information. These are in the main game as well, though not as much. A single key press would help here. Second, there are a lot ( A LOT) of mini games that you have to play. Most aren't bad and some even fun...for awhile. After that, it gets repetitive fast. Also, often, it is not clear exactly what you should be doing (or not). Trial and error is the only way. Finally, the one BIG issue is the mini games that use the coin flip game. It's downright frustrating. In most situations, it's a game where you have time the spinning of 3 to 5 coins in order to make them match up to the prize that you want. I know I'm terrible at it, but it's still basically nothing more than RNG so it would be much better to simply make it that with better ways to affect the outcome. This is the one thing that will probably make me stop playing the game. Still, all in all, if you get this game on sale for around $5.00 US, you'll be able to get your money out of it in fun and entertainment.
I've played a lot of RPG games over the years and this gem is one of the best. It is starting to show it's age a bit in certain game mechanics that have "matured" since this came out (like in game dialogue and battle tactics), but hey, I've been at these since 1990, so it's not an issue with me. TWO IMPORTANT NOTES! 1) Disable the Feastday Gifts DLC at the start. Especially if you're a new player (like I was). This can/will ruin your game immersion. 2) SAVE OFTEN. This is true in any RPG but there are a few bugs in game that will cause a crash to desktop. A minor annoyance if you have a recent save. Awful if you don't
