Tags: Infamous Quests; Quest for Infamy

After the adventure RPG Heroine's Quest, which we enjoyed a lot, comes the second title in the ongoing Quest for Glory-inspired renaissance. It's called Quest for Infamy, and was developed by the Codex user Blackthorne (Steven Alexander), who also took part in our huge AdventureDex Interview last year.

You can grab the game on Steam or on GOG. I'll quote the Steam description here.



Why Be Famous When You Can Be Infamous?

Return to the glory days of role-playing and adventure with this humor-filled fantasy epic, styled in the vein of classic PC RPGs, where you play the charming villain. Blending turn-based combat and spellcasting with puzzle solving and adventure, players can choose from three character classes—brigand (strength), rogue (stealth), or sorcerer (magic), each with unique storylines and adventures—in one of the largest retro role-playing experiences ever. A spiritual heir to yesteryear's heroic quests, adventurers are invited to explore a world of hand-drawn wonder, as they wind their way through trap-infested dungeons, battle slavering beasts with swords or custom-made spells, and steal entire town's worth of treasure from unsuspecting townsfolk. Being bad has never felt so good!

  • Classic fantasy Adventure/RPG packed with adventure, puzzles, combat, and spellcasting
  • Play as one of three anti-heroes with unique quests: Brigand, Rogue, or Sorcerer
  • Lie, cheat, and steal your way through tales of charming villainy with multiple endings
  • Use swords, spells, or wits to blaze a path to victory: Styles vary with every play
  • Hand-drawn world seamlessly blends role-playing and adventure
  • Over 50 NPCs and 200 rooms to explore and interact with
  • Customize your own spells, skills, and adventures

Links: Steam; GOG.

There's also a third QfG-inspired game, Mage's Initiation, coming later this year. Keep an eye out for that one, too.

Game looks stunning. Combat looks stunningly awful.

Out of all the good things you could copy from old-era RPG/adventure hybrids, why copy the horrendous combat system? QFG's SUCKED ASS and this looks just as bad.

No buy.

I hope there's an option for text instead of voice overs?

This is a triumph, if for nothing else simply from management standpoint. However hard making a point-and-click is (and I found it quite hard), make non-linear P&C / RPG hybrid surely is vastly harder, yet this project seems to have gone smoothly, more or less on schedule, at a very high level of quality. Nicely done, BT. :salute:

Yes, hearing the trailer, it is really bad. I assume they didn't recorded it in a studio (understandable with a tight budget), instead random people sent them their home recorded lines. The volume is quite different at the voices, and some of them has a small echo.

That said, the game looks promising, congratulations for the guys who made it.

I like the voices. Especially Roehm's accent! A few of them are hard to hear over the trailer music though.

The voices are very uneven, imo. Mostly okay though.

I wonder, did Heroine's Quest have voices? I remember liking many of the characters, but I don't remember their voices at all.

How weird that you don't remember any. They were fully voiced even. Some of them had rather bad accents.

Oh, I see, thanks. I guess the rest of the game overshadowed that for me.
