Ratings and reviews

I love it, I just wish you could play with more heroes instead of just 4. we play d and d 5e also, but we all would like to play hero quest together also. there are 10 of us, it would be great to split up and cover different areas. there are plenty of characters now. I just got jungles of delthrak. can't wait to play. we played this back in the 80's, I'm so glad you brought it back. P.S. if you play thru a Nintendo switch portable dock from Amazon, the video and sound work flawlessly. welcome

I'm happy to see there's been some work on landscape mode, but it a far cry from being user-friendly. For the menu, change the ui for landscape, please! It's so tiny now. When in a quest, instead of top/bottom banners, dock them on the left/right side of the screen so they aren't tiny. Maybe make a setting so the user can choose which side to dock it on. Also, more work is still needed on the AI for monsters with higher mindpoints. Otherwise I can beat HeroQuest with only 1 hero...

The app is great for solo or group play if no one wants to be Zargon. The music and ui are pretty nice. I have one major complaint, though, and that is that the RNG for monster rolls is completely unbalanced. Enemies have a nasty habit of rolling all skulls far more often (>50%) than not. It's WAY too difficult when no hero has more than 2 defense. A human can not roll that accurately against such odds when the heroes have no new bonuses or weapons. I have to cheat just to stay alive.

What's new

HeroQuest players, this update now includes the Expansion Quest Set: Against the Ogre Horde. Now digital Zargon can guide you through these additional adventures through the World's End mountains. But tread carefully my friends, the Dirgrusht Ogres are a strong but seclusive clan. And Zargon plans to manipulate them for his own evil purposes . Your ongoing adventures await!
