The Quest is a role-playing video game developed by Hungarian studio Redshift for PDAs in 2006. The game was ported to modern mobile devices three years later, and a remastered version was released in 2016. The remastered version added support for Microsoft Windows and macOS.
The Quest is a first-person role-playing video game set in an open world. Combat is turn-based, and movement takes place on a grid.[1]
History
Redshift initially developed The Quest for PDAs, such as the Pocket PC and Palm, and it was published in 2006.[2] Twenty-Four expansions followed, most of which were developed by Zarista Games.[3] In March 2009, the game was ported to iOS.[2] Chillingo, who had previously published the game, stopped supporting it in May 2015. Publishing rights went to Redshift.[3] A remastered version with new graphics was ported to Microsoft Windows in January 2016.[4] In July, the remastered version, dubbed The Quest HD, was released for the iPad,[5] and it was made available on the iPhone the following month. Redshift said they had been concerned that iPhone users might be confused because the HD version is incompatible with the expansions, which were never made available for the iPad.[6] An Android version was released in October 2016.[7] Eleven expansions been ported to the remastered version thus far. These function as standalone games if purchased separately; otherwise, existing characters may be imported.[8]
