Introduction

Hey guys, Demonxz95 here welcoming you to my review of Bravequest by Minjazemunka241981, better known as Minjaze or Arcanus. He's a very well known member on the forums, but he isn't as well known here on the MS. Despite that though, he does have a few features prior to this one. This is his first (and at the time of writing this review, his only) Arcade game. However I still had hope because of Minjaze's game making skills when used and having been a part of Sploder for almost 3 and a half years now, I reckon Minjaze did use the Arcade creator before this game was made. But without further ado, let us get into the review.


Review

I'm going to be completely honest, when I first saw the thumbnail for this game and lack of scenery in the first stage, I was a bit disappointed. I know there isn't much you can do to the thumbnail for an Arcade game (as it's always the first stage of the game) but I think more scenery could've been put in there. However, after playing a little bit of the first stage, it did get a LOT better from there and when I saw some of the cool gameplay of the game, I started really having fun and liking the game a lot, to the point where I was smiling while I was playing. I first thought the game was going to be short when I saw that the first two levels of the game only had one stage in it, but the length definitely picked up on stage 3 in which there was multiple stages which were not only fairly long in length, but also provided a decent challenge. Not like One Hit Kevin levels of challenge, more like your normal featured Arcade game type of challenge. The difficulty was balanced and curved nicely. Either that or I'm just really good at this game. Probably a bit of both.


The story line of the game is, well someone's trying to destroy a town from Dr N Archy (a pun of the word "anarchy" and a reference to Crash Bandicoot). It's cliche but I can live with it, and I love me some Crash Bandicoot references.


The scenery of this game is brilliant, especially thanks to the help of the custom texture creator which allows you to create whatever type of textures you want for certain land mass objects instead of having to use the default ones. When it was first implemented, I was very "eh" about the addition but now I see it as a very positive one. Using the texture creator allows the ability to make stages that you otherwise wouldn't normally be able to make such as like a volcanic cave.


Really good games tend to be really fun to play and this game is no exception. Once you play a small bit of the game, you'll sooner or later find yourself spending more time on the game and wanting to complete more of because you have so much fun playing it.


Pros and Cons

Pros

Great gameplay

Great scenery

Fun

Very addictive


Cons

Uh... the very first bit of the game looks a bit bland. I don't really know what I can say about the game that's bad.


Conclusion

So that concludes my review of Bravequest by Minjaze. Try this game out, it's a very good game. I mean, it's an Arcade and unpopular opinion, but the Arcade is my favorite creator, and it's probably my strongest one in terms of game making.
