Time Re:Quest

Information / Review English

Time Re:Quest is a tactical game simulation developed by ima shouganai.

Gameplay / Story

Time Re:Quest is a classic survival game and is graphically based in the style of the 80s. The game offers you two game modes called Rescue and Endless. In each round we have to make momentous decisions in order to achieve our goal and move forward. We have to get to the bottom of a mysterious secret and solve it, and we can also help other players with their problems. The game invites you to choose your own path in advancing the story as it is a procedural game. This means that with each run we have a different embarrassed card. The decisions we make are therefore even more important in order to survive and cannot be reversed. In your adventure you have to collect resources, fulfill your goals and also leave behind items that are no longer needed so that they do not pose a burden for you. You are exposed to different weather conditions, sometimes it's too warm, sometimes it's too cold, which strains your strength, and there are enemies in your way, which are animals like people. You only have one goal in mind, which is to somehow survive. The game is worth it alone because every round is different and you don't know what to expect.

Pro

+ 80 years of style
+ two different game modes
+ follow decisions
+ dark/harmonious and appropriate graphics
+ atmospheric background music
+ good and simple controls
+ every playthrough is different

Contra

- little setting options

Conclusion

Time Re:Quest offers you a classic survival game in the style of the 80s. Clear purchase recommendation.

First of all, thank you to the developer for providing us with this key for the group. Here you can find more good reviews from others and me at and if you liked the review, then we would be happy about a thumbs up and I would be happy about an award as Goddie

Information / Review Deutsch

Time Re:Quest ist eine taktische-Spielsimulation, welche von ima shouganai entwickelt wurde.

Gameplay / Geschichte

Time Re:Quest ist ein klassisches Überlebensspiel und siedelt sich grafisch im Stile der 80er Jahre wieder. Das Spiel bietet dir zwei Spielmodi welche Rettung und Endlos heißen. In jedem Durchgang gilt es folgenschwere Entscheidungen zu treffen, um unser Ziel zu erreichen und voran zu kommen. Wir müssen ein mysteriöses Geheimnis auf den Grund gehen und dieses lösen, dabei können wir auch andere Spieler helfen bei deren Probleme. Das Spiel lädt dazu ein deinen eigenen Weg einzuschlagen beim voran treiben der Geschichte, da diese ein prozedurales Spiel ist. Das heißt bei jedem Durchlauf haben wir eine andere genierte Karte. Die Entscheidungen, welche wir treffen sind daher umso wichtiger um überleben zu können und können nicht mehr rückgängig gemacht werden. In deinem Abenteuer musst du Ressourcen sammeln, deine Ziele erfüllen und auch Gegenstände, welche nicht mehr benötigt werden zurück lassen, dass diese keinen Belast für dich darstellen. Du bist verschiedenen Witterungen ausgesetzt, mal ist zu warm, dann wieder zu kalt was an deinen Kräften zerrt, es stellen sich dir Feinde in den Weg, welche Tiere wie Menschen sind. Du hast nur ein Ziel vor Augen, nämlich irgendwie überleben. Das Spiel lohnt sich allein schon, da jeder Durchgang anders ist und man nicht weiß, was einem erwartet.

Pro

+ 80 Jahre Stil
+ zwei verschiedene Spielmodi
+ Entscheidungen mit folgen
+ dunkle/stimmige und passende Grafik
+ stimmungsvolle Musikuntermalung
+ gute und einfache Steuerung
+ jeder Spieldurchgang verläuft anders

Kontra

- wenig Einstellungsmöglichkeiten

Fazit

Time Re:Quest bietet dir ein klassisches Überlebensspiel im Stile der 80er Jahre. Klare Kaufempfehlung.

Zunächst einmal vielen Dank an den Entwickler, der uns diesen Schlüssel für die Gruppe zur Verfügung gestellt hat. Hier findest du weitere gute Bewertungen von anderen und mir unter und wenn dir das Review gefallen hat, dann würden wir uns über einen Daumen nach oben freuen und ich mich über einen Award als Goddie

Alright. Time Re:Quest barely qualifies as a game. Just to get that out of the way off the top. The screen you are presented with looks cool, as you can see by the images the dev added to the product page. It's got different sections for usable items, crafting, other stuff you find, bonfire/cooking, combat, resting, eating, drinking, healing, and flashlight. You are also given meters for health, blood, hunger, and thirst. You have a map on the top right corner of the screen and a little box bottom right that presumably shows you what you are seeing. Sort of. You have a clock and thermostat. And last but not least, you have a section that tells you what's happening at any moment in three categories: events, survivor, and status.

There is no tutorial and I guarantee you will waste time clicking on the map expecting your icon to move. It doesn't. Instead, what you do is watch the clock tick through the day, and periodically (approx every half hour on the in game clock), one of the three categories update with new information. Which might be that you find berries to eat, hear gunshots in the distance, walk into a trap, the weather is getting hotter, etc... Occasionally, one of these updates requires you to do something such as bandage your wound. After which, you go back to staring at the screen. Or maybe you decide to eat or drink something if those meters drop enough. Perhaps you decide to craft something if you have the materials.

And that is the game as far as I saw. Basically, a lot of staring at the screen broken up periodically by maybe needing to interact with whatever the game says you are experiencing. And for the privilege of staring at the screen waiting to be told something is happening, you get to pay $9.99 retail. I can't recommend this game. This is a no go in my opinion. I just don't feel like staring mindlessly at a static screen waiting for something to happen every so often. You can't take screenshots btw, so what exists is whatever the developer added themselves.

This game came across my desk via my Robilar's Reviews curator program.

If you found this review helpful and would be interested in supporting my Curator group, Robilar's Reviews, it would be appreciated. Cheers.
