Quest is a 20 hour RPG you'll play through once. Slay The Spire is a roguelite you'll go through many times. Both are card games, but are quite different beyond that.
Oh, I'm quite aware of that. I already have 300+ hours of StS gameplay on Steam. I meant to say that I might not even finish Quest's campaign if StS releases relatively close to Quest. But I guess I can finish it between Spire runs :)
IGN compared it to Paper Mario:
There's exploring for secrets and talking to NPCs.
Not sure what you are expecting then. It's not like the previous Steamworld games were full of cutscenes without chattering or deep environmental storytelling. Even less sure why you want heavy story games if you think games usually have bad writing, but you do you.
I think the console ports of StS are still a ways off. I believe the devs said they'll have an update at the end of the month.
It certainly has the I&F quality and charm, just like all their games, but this one is like Heist for me, i know I won't like it. Not a fan of turn based combat. Eagerly awaiting for Dig 3. Hope this one is a hit by Image & Form, they deserve all the praise.
Devs said they may make a release announcement at the end of the month. They were supposed to do so last month, but it got delayed. And supposedly release date would have been close to the announcement.
oooh, release date announcement? Might be closer than I thought then.

On Topic: I really like the Steamworld games and am looking forward to this one. Presentation looks awesome. Any word on side quests or hidden content?
Not everyone likes card gamesThis. I wish I were seeing more hype for this on Era. SteamWorld Dig 2 and SteamWorld Heist are two of my favorite games of the gen.
I'm hyped, but waiting on the PS4 release so I have it alongside the rest of the franchise.This. I wish I were seeing more hype for this on Era. SteamWorld Dig 2 and SteamWorld Heist are two of my favorite games of the gen.
I wasn't going to reply to this nonsense, but half of those genres already have Steamworld games. So, yeah.This is why RPG and Steamworld are a bad match. If they were looking for a new genre, it should have been strategy, TD, dungeon crawler, or fantasy sim. Not all games have bed writing.
~25: https://www.resetera.com/threads/st...railer-out-on-april-25th.112899/post-20077483Hundreds of hours in Slay the Spire means I'm getting this. Looks good! Is it 15 or 20 bucks?
Not so much looking for the same rogue elements as above said, but the flow of battles. I like the idea of having a structured RPG with it.

Image & Form hasn't made a bad game yet. I'm totally getting this.Gonna wait for reviews just in case, but there's a 95% chance i pick this up on Friday. I've been waiting for Slay the Spire to hit Switch since before this was even announced, and shitty luck for them, this will fit the bill nicely.
Loved Heist and Dig 2. Quest is most likely a day one purchase for me. Hopefully this does well for them so they can continue to pump out games and maybe make a Heist 2

Looking forward to sharing my thoughts on this tomorrow - just wrapped up work on my review today. If anyone has any questions about the game once the embargo lifts I'll be happy to help answer whatever I can!

There are many more characters than that, according to the AMA.
Maybe... Best to be safe.
:)
Thanks for the tip.The AMA on Reddit still seems to be live, if you want to ask some questions about the game.
As a big fan of your past Steamworld games, but one who typically does not tend to gravitate towards "card-based" videogames, is there something you feel is unique or special enough about SW Quest that warrants giving it a go?
Thanks!
At it's core it's very much a SteamWorld game and like Heist it was made with our existing player base in mind. The Dig players wanted more Dig, but for many Heist turned out to be a great entryway to turn-based strategy. I think Quest is very similar to that. The world is and feels similar and we have the same level of quality, depth and accessibility as all our previous games.
tl;dr: If you like previous SteamWorld games you'll love this!
How challenging is Quest?
There are three different difficulty settings, ranging from "pretty easy but still challenging" to "devilishly hard".
Any planned DLC or future stories for the game?
No planned DLC, but we're open to the idea!
One of the things I like about Steamworld is that it's just that, it's a world. You can see how the events of Dig 2 lead into how the world is in Heist (still hoping for a Piper, Dorothy, Rusty team-up!) will there be something like that in Quest? Will it become apparent how it fits into the greater Steamworld?
In short: YES! We even hint at it in the trailer!
So, I played the hell out of Slay the Spire, and I have to assume someone over on your end took a long, hard look at that game's approach to a card-based RPG. How would you compare/contrast Steamworld Quest to Slay the Spire?
Well, first of all it's not a roguelike! And the battle system is different, too! Quest is a JRPG with card game mechanics and little to no downtime!
Regarding Steamworld Quest: Is the adventure linear, or does the story have side quest and branches?
It's fairly straightforward! Some extra content towards the end!
What sort of resolution and frame rate are we looking at docked/portable? :)
Docked: 1080p 60fps
Handheld: 720 60fps
All your games are amazing! I only have one question: PC when? ;)
ASAP after the Switch release :D
Are there special cards you can get for your decks by beating certain bosses or doing certain quests? Or do you acquire all cards normally and just have a low chance of getting really good legendary ones?
We have spaced out all the cards at fitting locations. There is no chance involved. Some are almost impossible to miss while some are a bit harder to find in hidden chests, etc.
Any chance of a physical release? Maybe for Steamworld Dig and Heist as well.:)
YES! Coming later this year for Quest :D We might do something for earlier games, too!
