'French indie outfit Cuve Games, creators of adventurous shoot-’em-up hybrid Skies, have just released their tactical RPG QuestRun in Alpha. Similarly to the recent Rogue Legacy and a number of other rogue-like indie titles, QuestRun is a game in which death is an inevitability, and your goal is to simply progress as far as you can before you are cruelly and unavoidably defeated. Much like old-school RPG design, the focus here is very much on the gameplay over complex narrative and lore — Cuve themselves have been keen to point out that QuestRun is an RPG for those who have no interest in typical role-playing trappings such as dialogue and continuing plot arcs, a pure and lean approach which throws you in at the deep end with a series of dungeons to fight through.' -- Matt Suckley
QuestRun debuted for PC in 2013 and is available on Desura and Steam with mixed reviews. Nothing seems to have changed for the mobile version other than the touch controls and it being 1/3 of the PC game's price. The touch controls are functional for the most part, but the same issues that annoyed gamers still remain.

DHGF: has a few interesting ideas, but he execution is ambiguous. It wants to be both hardcore and casual at the same time. Sadly, that is something that is perhaps impossible. While it has the challenge level that some players are searching for, the depth isn’t there. The simple presentation, lack of options, and lack of polish will scare off most of the people who would be into this game as well. There is a very small audience out there for this game. For the rest of us, this is an easy pass.
