Beast Quest is an action and role playing game in third person. It combines elements of traditional exploration games (free movement on large scenarios), and a combat system with gestures coming from Infinity Blade. This time, you can also fight several enemies almost simultaneously.
The story in Beast Quest is set in the world of Avantia, a fantasy universe dominated and oppressed by a powerful mage who has enchanted the beasts of all the continents. Your goal in the game is to travel these continents to free the beasts and stop them from destroying the land.
In Beast Quest you can find a smart combination of game genres. The basis of the game is that of a third person adventure, so you can move your character freely throughout all the scenarios, find treasures, pick up herbs, fight enemies, etc. There's also a touch of role playing in the game, specially in how the characters evolve. You can improve their abilities and change their equipment.
The combat system deserves a special mention. It lets you fight enemies by using simple gestures on the screen. You can dodge, block with the shield, attack, and of course perform special attacks.
Beast Quest is an outstanding adventure. It has really good graphics, and a really fun gameplay. It's a true masterpiece.
