The dungeon that started it all has been unearthed once again. Today, Brain Seal announced the global launch of Dark Quest: Remastered, a comprehensive ground-up rebuild of the original cult-classic RPG. Marking the series' first-ever foray into the console market, the title is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
A Modern Engine for a Classic Saga
While the original Dark Quest laid the foundation for the series' dark fantasy aesthetic, this remastered edition utilizes the advanced technical engine developed for Dark Quest 4. This shift introduces a brand-new 3D perspective engine, significantly enhanced lighting, and modernized visual effects.
The story remains a timeless struggle: a dark sorcerer has constructed a sprawling labyrinth beneath the village of Darkwood, sending minions to terrorize the realm. Players must assemble a party of heroes to descend into the depths, navigating a tactical grid where every move could be their last.
Definitive Gameplay Enhancements
More than just a visual facelift, the Remastered edition serves as the definitive version of the experience. Key updates include:
Tactical Depth: Refined turn-based combat built on meaningful choices and party management.
Expanded Arsenal: The addition of new spells, items, and polished audio design.
Platform Accessibility: Full controller support and Steam Deck compatibility ensure a smooth experience across handheld, desktop, and home consoles.
Loyalty Rewards and Pricing
In a rare move for the industry, Brain Seal has announced that existing owners of Dark Quest on Steam will receive the Remastered edition as a completely free update. For new players, the game is priced at a budget-friendly $4.99 on PC and $6.99 across all console platforms.
Whether you are a veteran of Darkwood or a newcomer inspired by the golden age of tabletop board games, Dark Quest: Remastered offers a polished, strategic journey into the heart of darkness.
